Hit in the rocky base housing u. S. And Coalition Troops killing 3 and ensuring many more. Has announced travel from europe to the u. S. Will be suspended starting on friday for 30 days and order to fight the corona Virus Outbreak the unprecedented restrictions do not apply to the United Kingdom though the president made the announcement in a National Address during which he accused the e. U. Of not responding quickly enough to the virus taking early intense action we have seen dramatically fewer cases of the virus in the United States than are now present in europe. The European Union failed to take the same precautions and restrict travel from china and other hot spots as a result a large number of new clusters in the United States were seeded by travelers from europe hours earlier the head of the World Health Organization described the outbreak as a pandemic for the 1st time expressing alarm at the spread in the severity of this disease Johns Hopkins university in the us says infections have passed 126000 worldwide china of course has the most followed by italy iran and south korea where then 68000 people have recovered from the illness but 4628 have died lets go to our White House Correspondent kimberly how could he was listening to the president make make those comments from the oval office ok kelly lets break this down into 2 things i will get to be the economic measures in a moment 1st this travel ban is something that is truly unprecedented tell us more about what the president said about this travel ban. Yeah it was pretty shocking that he was blaming european leaders for not doing enough is the essence of the hot spot that is occurring in europe right now the president is essentially accusing the leaders of kind of making this happen so that is how he justify the strict new measures that are being put in place effective friday at midnight and its not just travel from European Countries its also trade with the exception of the United Kingdom now its important to note that this is kind of the 2nd wave of travel restrictions that weve seen in the u. S. Weeks ago the president did put in place some tough measures for travelers from china enforcing sort of it quarantine for those that had come from china were of course this outbreak 1st occurred but this is much more draconian in terms of the stepping up of restrictions that not only applies to travelers but also to trade we should point out in this speech by the president he did say that he was considering now lifting some of the initial travel restrictions that were in place as we see some of those people recovering in china but that has not been announced officially it was really something the president floated out there as he sort of justify these broader draconian measures ok so lets talk about the economics of this now it really seems as if there is nobody that is not going to be touched like this from big businesses down to individuals who feel like they do not have the option to stay home because they absolutely need to get paid every single dollar work so talk about some of the measures that the president outlined that might address a broad range of things. Yeah this was a really important point because the president did kind of announce some sort of broad and sweeping measures to help hourly workers in the United States who often go to work sick in this country because number one they dont have any paid leave and number 2 there and there really are not the protections that we see for example in western European Countries to kind of help people theres sort of. A lesser social safety net if you will in this country so when it comes to a type of crisis of crow virus some of the ideas that are being floated by the president were its important to note 2 and now still ready in discussions that were taking place with Top Democrats on capitol hill in fact it is the congress that has the power of the purse not the white house so its important to note that while the president s announcing things like allowing broader access to corona Virus Testing whether its allowing people protections so they can stay home and take care of a sick Family Member these are not his ideas these are ideas that came from democrats on capitol hill that the president is now kind of putting forward as his own and it will take working both the white house and the democrats together on capitol hill and caught in concert if you will to make all of this happen so thats a bit of an interesting twist given the fact that the president s kind of projecting these as as original ideas when really these came from members of congress there was ever a time for the the world to be nonpartisan this would be the time to really help it live for us in washington kimberly thank you very much. So dr gregory poland is a professor of medicine at the mayo clinic he joins us from sky they are sky father from rochester minnesota that are officially your time very much for a month now a month to w. H. O. Has been saying what is happening cant they reversed but it takes something drastic. And we are now also hearing from the government and the governor rather of the state of new york saying expect the numbers to skyrocket is this going to get much worse before it gets better and your in your opinion you know i think even if we define worse as more infections and a subset of those leading to more severe disease then yes i think inevitably this will so that the cancellation of the events continues i mean significant cancellations all over the world most recently just heard that the National Basketball association is canceling all games in the u. S. That is huge that is significant will it take measures like that are measures like that effective yes they are in many ways the principle the scientific proof principle behind this is the more social distance the less you have people gathered where they can cost needs it inhale one anothers viral particles the more you decrease transmission with the hope that this will sort of burn out as sars did or perhaps we get to the warmer weather and like we see with other coronaviruses we see it disappear so affective in terms of preventing people from being together in large Group Settings and you know obviously we know quite a bit about the flu how does what we know about this virus compare to what what we know about the flu is there still a lot we dont know about it. Yes you know ive liken this to sort of the pixilated pictures that you see 20 percent of the pixels you cant tell what it is 50 to 70 percent and you go oh thats a face and when you get to 8590 percent you say oh its a picture of a mountain were in that 30 that 50 percent we know a lot about the virus genetically but were learning a great deal about its behavior about how it spreads about clinical presentation and a lot to learn about antivirals and what what happens to people after they recover from this there are some early hints of something called Pulmonary Fibrosis occurring at least in the more severe cases so a lot to learn where were sort of so to speak building the airplane while were flying it and my goodness thats quite a way to put it what do you know about where we are on getting a vaccine for this whats a realistic window for Something Like that you know well you know the typical timeframe is years lets take something that was a much greater case they tally really like ebola that took 6 years to license that vaccine so it can realistically under the normal regulatory procedures were talking about a vaccine that it wouldnt be of a will for a couple of years now the president does have something called emergency use authorization privileges he could determine in cooperation with his advisers that maxine candidates offer more benefit than the risk of not being fully tested through that regulatory pathway and invoke that and began to meet is ations i dont think that would be appropriate at this point but that is not. Dr poland thank you very very much well be calling on you again appreciate it my pleasure. So Financial Markets tumbled again on wednesday as investors fretted about a perceived lack of action by World Leaders to respond to the economic threat posed by the coronavirus christian salumi reports in new york. Red alert on wall street as the prolonged coronavirus induced a sell off reached a new low on wednesday after mondays record points plunge the dow jones index ended the day with another huge slump officially pushing stocks into socalled bear market territory meaning that new yorks main indices are now 20 percent lower than their recent highs although most companies took a beating some were hit particularly hard.

So lets talk about the end markets in asia and for that robert reich joins us from seoul so what is a what are we seeing. Thats right the markets have all been starting the selling of this selloff has continued across asia basically theyre always going to open down following the lead from wall street and also the announcement of this being a pandemic and thats what we saw the markets were all trading and selling fast as President Trump was speaking from the white house and that selloff has continued the nikkei is now down now more than 5 percent the korean stock index the kaspi thats down 4 percent in hong kong the hang seng index down 3 percent and one percent down on the shanghai composite i think all the markets have been extremely spooked by the travel ban that was announced from europe to the United States it really underscores just how much of a Global Crisis that is and investors have reacted accordingly and bear in mind of course that all of these markets have already taken a battering from the coronavirus as it is unfolded here in asia over recent weeks in fact the kaspi is down nearly 4 nearly 20 percent in the past few weeks so they were already very depressed levels some consolation in the travel though such a travel ban has been announced from from japan and south korea to the United States but of course people here know that as this unfolds and becomes worse in the United States that might be a possibility in the future ok rob so where do things stand with the economy and the finance hansel angle is very important obviously this is still a Health Crisis so what is the latest out of china and what do we know about new numbers from south korea. The trends still are continuing in this downward direction reporting smaller numbers of new cases in china they reach something of a milestone theyve had 15 you cases reported across the whole of china now in 8 cases have been reported thats the 1st time in a province that they have had a single digit increase in new cases and plans continue there to allow some movement of people around the province were getting reports that some businesses are reopening some Foreign Companies are restarting operations factories and so on here in south korea again the downward trend has continued there was real concern yesterday wednesday when we had this spike of 240 cases worryingly a lot of those cases were here in the seoul metropolitan area based around a call center where 93 people workers and also their relatives were found to have been infected today the number of new cases is down again to 114 so that continues hopefully as far as Health Officials are concerned this progressively downward trend and its the 1st time weve had a number like that 114 since february 21st so that is a lease and some positive news on the reduction of the new cases here will take it from a private life presence all right thank you so as i mentioned earlier the biggest Basketball League in the world has suspended the rest of the season the n.
