Trevor, zohreen. Andrew dymburt in washington, andrew, thank you. New cases of the coronavirus are being reported at the nursing home near seattle where at least 19 people have died. Officials now report 31 positive test results among 35 residents. Family members say theyre frustrated that these test results are taking up to seven days.

Italy is facing the worst outbreak outside asia. Nearly 500 people have died in that country now so we want to bring in abcs Julia Macfarlane who is covering the Global Impact and joins us from london. Julia, thats a Staggering Amount of people that died in italy. Why do we think its so high and do we think the travel ban can work . Reporter right, trevor, good morning. Italy has been hit the hardest because of its older population. Its far older than china and south korea which are seeing a drop in cases and this is all the more remarkable because italy was the first country in the world to ban flights from china. Inside the country, though, there are many questions about whether this massive travel ban can even be enforced. People have been told not to travel unless their employer requires it. For now, as you say, theres no school and no sporting events through till april 3rd. The Economic Impact from this is unimaginable. Remember, italy is the worlds eighth largest economy and tourism is a big, big part of it, around 13 , but on a more personal level theres huge questions about how families will pay their bills without being able to go to work, so many questions, trevor. Unimaginable impact, indeed. But this is more than just italy. It is about everywhere. How about in london . Here in the uk we have around 300 cases and 4 deaths so far, but Health Officials are urging anyone with even a light respiratory illness to selfisolate for two weeks. All but essential travel to italy is restricted and selfquarantine whether they have symptoms or not.

Irs reckless statements are confusing people in this country and all over the world. Reporter sanders says his team is consulting with local Health Officials before his rallies and claims the outbreak makes the case for his medicare for all proposal. Think about the insanity of a system where today somebody wakes up and maybe they think they have the symptoms of coronavirus yet, they cannot afford to go to a doctor. His medicare for all push would be a long and expensive slog if it can get done at all. So joe biden has been shortening his rope line and also says he is fist bumping and waving instead of hugging and shaking hands so another sign of the times.
