Example concrete to give you some examples a family lunch dinner with friends a Football Game with friends a game of cards all of that which might not normally seem important is now off the beaten not just discouraged but if they dont lets not downplay it each one of those meetings is a moment when the virus can be transmitted. The north a talian city a brasher is in lumber the epicenter of europes covert 1000 outbreak the grave concern across europe stems from the hard lessons being learned here going to get any impression or what is really shocking is something we have not been able to forecast and brought us to our knees is how quickly the epidemic spreads within 2 weeks now 3 weeks since the beginning of the epidemic we put a total of 1200 patients in lumberton in intensive care. And so the freedom of movement enjoyed by europeans for decades has abruptly ended this was the traffic jam at the franco swiss border a 4 hour queue affecting even essential workers like this nurse the bus journeys at dawn can no colleagues at all our patients are waiting for us our colleagues are also waiting for us these are still human beings they are in their beds there waiting for blood tests theyre waiting for us to feed them and here we go were stuck in the e. U. s x. Journal borders are being shut to a ban imposed on entry for non e. U. Citizens for the next 30 days relaxing the east internal borders though is now an imperative we have a lot of traffic jam of lorries transporting goods the flow of goods has to be swift we need these goods for the functioning of the internal market for the moment at least the u. K. Is resisting pressure to lock down its citizens people have been urged to avoid bars restaurants and leisure venues and work from home where possible the government is offering 400000000000. 00 of loan guarantees to support affected businesses and the Prime Minister has appealed for National Unity this enemy can be deadly. But it is also beatable and we know how to beat it and we know that if as a country we follow the scientific advice that is no being given we know that we will beat but the prospect of a compulsory lockdown is looming italy with more than 2000 coronavirus deaths is the worst affected country outside of china and with more than 3000 new infections in italy every day the burden on Hospital Capacity is almost overwhelming but the rate of infection has slowed slightly in the lumba the region epicenter of the countrys outbreak there at least there is a faintest glimmer that the quarantine measures are starting to show results paul brennan aljazeera. Only barker is following the stories abound joins us now and it does feel as though the whole world is in lockdown leave what did we hear from german chancellor Angela Merkel because now brussels is imposing a fair today ban on travel yes thats right and that affects a population of more than 500000000. 00 people within the e. U. The schengen common travel area those areas are now both closed off to all countries outside that zone so some countries in the schengen are not part of the e. U. That includes the likes of norway the u. K. Which isnt part of the schengen or the e. U. Is not included in that band so if you from the u. K. Youll still be able to access parts of the constant part saying that country after country within the schengen are independently unilaterally tightening their own borders as well so for instance germany the most recent country to do that is restricting a lot of travel from many of its surrounding countries apart form access to freight so commercial traffic and also commuters including some key workers especially Health Workers or the countries the likes of of denmark of the Czech Republic of completely sealed their borders to all foreigners so there are internal stories within europe but as a continent as a whole those external borders are now sealed and as the Economic Cost from all of this continues to mount weve had governments coming out today announcing rescue packages for households and businesses thats right country after country last week the german chancellor announced 600000000000. 00 would be set aside for helping businesses today weve heard the british chance of extract the finance minister here announcing a package of 400000000000. 00 similar situation in the netherlands billions of dollars being set aside available for businesses there and in spain Pedro Sanchez the Prime Minister announcing a 290000000000. 00 package to mitigate the impact of the virus thats 20 percent of spains entire g. D. P. Set aside to deal with corona virus and how are people being affected on the ground who are. I know for a briefly that some figures have come out of ireland suggesting that 140000 people have been put out of work since friday these are all big big developments that ordinarily would be huge stories in their own right but are now details of a much bigger global story thank you news well we move to iran now the government there is issued its direst warning yet about the outbreak suggesting millions could die if the public doesnt listen to health thing to Health Guidance the stark warning came from a journalist on state t. V. Watch the public to listen to travel restrictions iran is also temporarily freed some 85000 prisoners in response to the pandemic including the british iranian a. Wracked with on monday crowds of conservative iranian strong 2 major shrines that have been closed its a must ravi isnt iran explains why iranians havent been listening to the official warnings this is really something that the government has been struggling with since the beginning iranians are so frustrated with their economic circumstances so frustrated with experiencing one crisis after another that when it comes to following the governments guidance regarding the coronavirus the government simply hasnt been able to get everybody on board now it has to be said slowly but surely you can tell the difference there are fewer iranians that are out on the streets there are more people that are following the government guidelines but this idea that millions of people could be impacted as we saw the news reader on state t. V. Say earlier today this is part of the kind of fear that Government Officials have been trying to instill in people of the consequences of not following through is this fact or fiction well we dont really have any Health Official or Government Official quoted here are standing behind this but medically speaking if you follow the epidemiology if the government is not able to get ahold of the spread of the virus throughout the country it could become a hot zone it could become a long term area of risk in which case there there is a chance it could affect millions of people go back up slightly better news on the Global Markets today after several days of dramatic since 987 lets get more from christensen amy in new york where the markets have just closed how did they do. Yes it was a better day than yesterday all 3 of the major indices closed up 56 percent the dow jones up more than 5 percent thats recovering about half of what it lost yesterday but still lots of volatility lots of uncertainty but some reassure surance that the United States is moving forward on a stimulus package to deal with the repercussions of the coronavirus an 850000000000. 00 stimulus package a lot of the emphasis in that we heard today from the white house will be on putting money into the hands of Everyday Americans and Small Businesses as well something that we havent heard as much about with all the focus on the Big Industries that are suffering the white house emphasize that it wanted to make Cash Payments to americans also allow individuals and Small Businesses to delay tax payments all of this keeping cash in peoples hands also talk of new fed measures the Federal Reserve the u. S. Central bank taking steps to alleviate tightening credit markets increasing short term lending opportunities again keeping cash flowing but still a lot of major underlying concerns in the Big Industries that have been most affected by the coronavirus continue to suffer Airlines Hotels cruise lines and Energy Sector prices are still down and thats a big unknown Going Forward the president and the u. S. Treasury secretary steve did indicate that there will be steps to aid these industries but we dont have a lot of details on exactly what that will be and thats more controversial sell in congress Going Forward so yes a better day today things are looking up still a lot of uncertainty in terms of volatility however the volatility index remains quite high so a lot of uncertainty Going Forward thank you from new york kristen salumi. Well the u. S. Government meanwhile is considering sending checks to americans so they have cash to spend during the Coronavirus Crisis its also increased the amount of tax payments that can be defied. In washington and remarkable what were seeing passing is some of the biggest emergency measures in recent history not just in the u. S. But around the world whats been the reaction that so far well i think so far people are maybe mostly call of course weve seen runs on Grocery Stores and toilet papers just gone missing everywhere but i think that youre seeing a different tone from the Trump Administration he came out and said the president did and said he always knew it was a pandemic even before people said it was a pandemic thats not true he called it a democratic hoax but you are seeing the government taking a look at the stock market taking a look at whats happening on main street and sending the message that they are going to do what they can to fix it there are millions of workers it because all of these many many cities and counties and states have said simply were closing down the bars because people wouldnt listen so theyre closing bars or closing restaurants for everything but takeout and so what were seeing in i just drove through washington d. C. And there arent any restaurants open so what happens to those workers well the lot of them are workers that rely on tips if theyre not home theyre not getting paid so we see the house they passed a bill that would increase Unemployment Insurance and some sick time because again a lot of these employees dont have sick time and would also pay for free testing for the virus but i think its important to point out they are not testing for the virus at any large scale here and they still wont give the media or the public the numbers of people who are in fact being tested but that said this the senate is expected to pass this house bill then theyre going to look at a broader measure somewhere between 750000000000. 00 to more than a trillion dollars to get cash in the hands of americans the president though for his part continues to really focus on the Economic Cost of this and that could be in large part because we just dont know how many people in america are actually sick. If we do this rate. A country and the world frankly but our country can be rolling again pretty quickly pretty quickly we have to fight that invisible enemy that. Is unknown but were getting to know to let better today the senate is taking up coronavirus legislation that includes retesting for those who need it as well as paid sick leave and family medical leave for work is affected by the virus so they came to show theyre doing something by announcing these big economic stimulus packages with all the big figures but as you say patty testing is absolutely crucial and there is now a feeling that not just in the u. S. But we are seeing the virus spread so far and so fast that now attention has to be on hospital beds resources and how to care for the sick and the focus is definitely turning that were seeing hospitals across the country get rid of patients that they can discharge to try and free up beds we tell the Surgeon General say it is possible we could see a Health System in america do exactly what happened in italy where they just became overwhelmed so quickly there was an interesting article in forbes that that one of the major manufacturers of ventilators which is likely going to be in short supply hasnt received any orders from the government and so if they had those orders the c. E. O. Said they could ramp up and start trying to produce more but they havent been asked to and just the president himself said to the states if you can find ventilators go ahead and get them so theres real concern that the next couple of days the entire Health Care System could be under intense strain thank you very much from washington patty call aine. Well the global Aviation Industry trade body says airlines could need up to 200000000000. 00 of help from governments the International Air transport association said companies are running out of money and Decisive Action is needed earlier European Airlines called on governments to let them defer tax payments as demand for travel has slummed Singapore Airlines and emirates were among the airlines who cut more flights on tuesday.
