There is fear too in france is the number of cases creep up children still in school are encouraged to wash their hands by the Health Minister himself but the virus has already reached the heart of the government the culture minister is infected and 5 others are being tested president avoided shaking hands as he prepares to move the country to phase 3 of its response closing more schools and risk transport across the continent classrooms are emptying spain france and germany have shut schools in their most affected regions while italy greece romania and ukraine have sent home their entire student populations as germany confirmed its death from the virus the governments message was that people must make sacrifices to their social lives to protect the elderly wanting covert 19 test Health Care Systems across europe soon the most of you will start.

The w. H. O. Says countries still have the power to change the course of this pandemic but what is inevitable is that cases will continue to climb. With declaration of pandemic has hit the stock markets christian salumi joins me live from new york so markets have just closed how its ended up there. Yeah well its been a brutal day on wall street the markets have been down all day and they closed in whats known as bear market territory that signals an and to what has been an 11 year upward trend or bull market for stocks and its a significant step to cross basically a bear market is a drop of more than 20 percent from the market highs of just a couple weeks ago we had new highs in the stock markets here but the jones industrial dropped more than 1400. 00 points today bringing it into that bear market territory this is just 2 days after a correction or a drop of 10 percent so now 20 percent from the high point for the market. This is obviously a concern for investors theyve been watching the spread of the corona virus seeing its impact on everyday life starting to unfold people staying home from work trips being canceled schools being closed and theyre worried about the Economic Impact bear market is not always a sign of a recession its not automatic that a recession would come in a bear market but thats the concern that is weighing on investors after the an announcement that this was now being and considered a pandemic and that. More pain could be coming that Investors Financial institutions have been lowering their forecast for Global GrowthGoldman Sachs in particular said that it was lowering its forecast for Economic Growth all of that combining to weigh down the markets showing their concern that we havent seen the worst of the impact from this virus yet and i mean its there have been measures from some Central Banks and policies made what why is that not satisfying the investors what do they want to see going forward. Well the United States is the big question here what will the u. S. Response be on tuesday the markets recovered somewhat after President Trump suggested that there would be a stimulus plan to help businesses weather the storm but the details of that have not been forthcoming at this hour in fact we know that president is needing with financial c. E. O. s and hes promised to make some sort of a statement or announcement later clearly this is a concern the market is something that the president watches very closely and he has always touted the Strong Performance of the economy as one of his major accomplishments so this is a very worrying concern but so far no concrete plan from the administration some ideas have been floated and that seems to be that the the the the issue other parts of the world may have their plans but this is the biggest economy in the world and its worry in terms of where things are going the virus itself hasnt been contained yet but theres concerns that theres not enough test kits so amid all those questions we see this volatility christianson we thank you very much indeed committee how could has more from the white house says theres a battle in the way on how to deal with coronavirus. There have been a lot of meetings taking place here in the white house as part of the Coronavirus Task force its not clear they have accomplished anything in fact just the opposite of tweet from the u. S. President one of them says someone needs to tell the democrats in congress that provirus doesnt care what party youre in we all need to protect all americans i think what hes alluding to is the fight in the battle thats going on between the white house and congress over just how much money to allocate in terms of helping local communities to sort of counter the spread of coronaviruses in a majority of u. S. States now and we are hearing from Top Public Health officials like anthony found part of the Coronavirus Task force that things will get worse and that this is 10 times more lethal than the seasonal flu what the message is coming from Health Officials is that americans need to be prepared but when they look to their government theyre getting very murky messages now were hearing here on the white house campus that the Vice President has been meeting with hospital officials we also understand the president getting under way with a meeting involving wall street executives the they discuss how to help ordinary americans in terms of the economy but again not any sort of concrete message coming out of this white house many hoping that will change when there is a current virus briefing in the coming hours. Italian government is considering taking tough and measures to try to contain it outbreak as 827. 00 people are now known to have died earlier we spoke to a Chinese DeputyHealth Minister who said if he had still made appropriate preparations when we have the outbreaks either we had a lot of flare ups in the north and you know somebody was seeing ok that is the new china and its spreading all over the viruses that thats not true because we know that probably the part of entry of this virus was not evil but maybe with germany i mean we would see these but see there are photographs of these all over in europe and now even in the United States you know with new cases though we know patient 0 saw nobody will trap how devices are out there i mean this is a worldwide problem so 2 things mean mainly 2 things to do 1st meeting closing things and the other thing be prepared with your ass people in i. C. U. With bats and machine and medical doctors and nurses and whatever be ready with these because d. S. Will stop the wave and on the other and we treat the patients even mild disease we know these i mean its a disease that in 8085 percent of the cases very mild but there is a 1015 percent that may require a very different. Parkers are needed to reach has now declared it a pandemic what does that mean practically. Well a epidemic 1st of all basically means a virus that can be contained one that since particular region or a particular country a pandemic is a virus in short that can be contained than anywhere in the world is now potentially exposed to it those distinctions matter because it affects the kind of way in which countries deal with the problem in an epidemic the focus is on containment as was suggested so if people are coming in from countries where there are very high numbers of coronavirus cases being detected those people may be asked to self isolate in a pandemic situation and the implication now is that people are contract in the virus within communities without actually having to have gone to a place like china or italy and in this kind of situation the focus now shifts to delaying the spread of the virus and thats an important distinction to make the w. H. O. Now saying that all countries in the around the world need to respond aggressively and to be wary about the prospects of under diagnosis and what to me mention italy there what are the lessons been learned from the way the epidemic has ordinar pandemic has spread initially so quickly were all looking at italy what were looking at particularly here in europe is essentially the future given the cases in germany and france and spain are going up very very rapidly indeed the house of course beamed some incredibly tight measures introduced 60000000 people put on lockdown the toughest measures since the 2nd world war in that country but there has been have been some glimmers of hope it was a case in northern italy where levon villages were asked to lock down there havent in the past couple of days been any indication of any rise or any new cases so the suggestion there is that is that containment does work so rolling out similar kind of person processes and procedures in other countries in europe is definitely likely to be the best way to go need pocket thank you very much.
