Americansan a dozen who had been stranded aboard that cruise ship quarantined and japan have arrived on the evacuation flight to the u. S. Monday. That flights were chartered by the u. S. State department and repatriated 300 americans in all. All of the lack uas are the evacuees are in government quarantined. What happened here . There were people confirmed with coronavirus, who stayed in japan and it did not get on the slides . Those flights . Authorities were clear. Anyone found to have the virus would stay in japanese hospitals. That description. Those allowed to travel as far as the authorities were concerned, did not have the virus. So 338 passengers who had been aboard the ship disembarked and got into buses on their way to two cargo planes, to texas and california. During the ride to the cargo planes, japanese authorities alerted u. S. Authorities that lab results had come back, showing that 14 of the passengers on board these buses, freely mixing with other passengers, had tested positive for the coronavirus. A decision was then made, that they would fly but in an isolated section of the planes. They were a symptom attic. We are getting they were a symptom attic. Asymptomatic. They did fly back but that does raise questions about surveillance and quarantine. Meanwhile, when the planes landed in the United States it was discovered a further five passengers were now showing symptoms. Passengers with confirmed coronavirus, the number of cases in the u. S. Has risen from 15 to 29. And the increasing concern along with it. It takes a lot to knock politics off the front pages. I wonder if that could be changing. To gaugeays difficult Public Opinion in cases like this. There is that unfocused sense of unease and dread. As far as we can tell, there is not any enormous panic or whatever. The only way we can tell that is by what the media, the managers of the news in the United States are deciding are on the front pages, which at the moment is heavily focused on the democratic residential primaries. We were talking yesterday democratic president ial prima trees primaries. Last weekend 65 of americans said it was not going to affect their lifestyles turn this shows that the messaging is working. Or that the media is being lowkey, the government is being lowkey but when it comes to what people are really thinking, i know journalists do not know everything. Thank you for that.

Another 14 will suffer from severe complications like pneumonia. 5 in a critical condition. 2 for whom it proves deadly with elder patients at higher risk. However it is considered less deadly than sars. Because of the infection rate. Many morewever killed people in a similar timeframe. The details appear to show a decline in new cases. This trend must be interpreted cautiously. Trends can change as new populations are affected. If thiso early to tell reported decline will continue. Every scenario is still on the table. It also appears that covid19 is not as deadly as other coronaviruss, including sars and mers. More than 80 of patients have mild and disease and will recover.

Big players that operate in china have been forced to shut businesses for now at least. There are fears that car giants like volkswagen and toyota may have to cut production. Major airlines have stopped flying to china. That affects demand for jet fuel. It hits the tour industry in china and further afield. And china is a Global Manufacturing hub. With factory shut, multinationals fear their supply chains could be hit. That could have a knock on effect on the abella tilt he on the availability of goods around the world turn we talked to a researcher at the Economic Policy institute. He says the Economic Impact is significant but he does not think it will be felt in the long term. I think the impact is strong us within china itself. Todayample they announced they are to delay the annual auto show in beijing, this is a big disruption. They reflect the fact that industries that have big complex supply chains, like automobiles and electronics, with thousands of parts going into each of , are vulnerable to supply chain disruption. But iould have an impact do not think it will extend beyond one or two quarters. Previous majort epidemics and environment disasters, and the evidence does not support the view that it will be a very big impact over a your two. Over one or two years.
