the terms show him that you already

better directions dismiss the claims Dr
Vincent can handle saying that just like if

00:23:18
Jim Lebia stretching is more about pleasing
men than women much as to scream that

00:23:25
he or to kind of piece by piece or even
make it one my business centric of it

Today is Tuesday March 17th and this is
below is international edition I'm Lori

London and Washington. Now the
epicenter of the rotavirus endemic.

00:28:03
Design in the. Growing
of an economic crash of

00:28:10
the world is at

00:28:11
a standstill. Several

00:28:26
Democratic primary elections from
taking place today it's all on today's

00:28:31
international edition the World Health
Organization on Monday called on all

00:28:36
countries to ramp up their testing programs
as the best way to slow the advance of

00:28:41
the corona virus pandemic World Health
Organization director general Tadros adda

00:28:46
non go brazenness at

00:28:48
a press conference in Geneva said without
testing cases cannot be isolated in the

00:28:53
chain of an action will not be broken we
cannot fund in the if we don't know who is

00:29:00
infected we. Slowly countries.

00:29:10
Had 3 suspected cases. We have
beaten the seed countries

00:29:17
reside loans. But even they
have struggled to cope.

00:29:25
Design is moves to low income countries
we're deeply because of the good

00:29:32
a muggle collisions with the high
is id people lose all the money.

00:29:39
That's why we have called legal in every
country every individual to do everything

00:29:45
. To still. Pedro's also said he is
deeply concerned about the spread to

00:29:52
low income countries as even nations with
good health capacity are struggling to

00:29:58
cope the World Health Organization also
said Europe is now the epicenter of the

00:30:03
outbreak with the very latest developments
on the virus from Europe we are joined

00:30:08
by reporter Catherine field in Paris more
countries Catherine are taking extreme

00:30:15
steps to try to stop this virus from getting
worse to contain it my understanding

00:30:21
is that French President Emanuel is also
stepping up efforts significantly what can

00:30:27
you tell us yes Ed from midday French time
on Tuesday people who know me I want to

00:30:33
leave their homes and the president has
said that the country is now is take him

00:30:39
wool out he said this is

00:30:41
a health there is no visible enemy out
there and everyone has to stay and.

00:30:49
Just talk to. The Nation and then address
the interior minister came on television

00:30:55
and slid down details all that's
missing is he wasn't me for

00:30:59
a period of at least 15 days people will
not be able to leave the what I was

00:31:04
a list that has to go to show to go to
medical appointments essentially that when

00:31:11
you late autumn you will have to write down
what they call the pension act as does

00:31:17
your ticket to say why you are leaving
your house and if you don't have that and

00:31:23
please can't you. You will then be signed
so these are new measures that will place

00:31:29
sensually the president since they have
to stop the spread of the fines and they

00:31:34
can only now do that I love the saying the
number of people who come into contact

00:31:39
with each other each day as they don't do
that everyone who moves around outside

00:31:45
will be in danger in the lives of everyone
else of the play those who did to them

00:31:51
what about if you have

00:31:53
a dog that you need to take out and walk
or related tell that was very interesting

00:31:57
that came up with the interior minister
who said yes people can go out get some

00:32:03
fresh air it's need be and you can take
you don't bounce as well he said you can

00:32:07
only go out on your own you cannot use this
is an excuse to go for what you know or

00:32:14
even to put someone else who's going to
go and you will come home together no he

00:32:19
said you can take your girlfriend will you
have to sign this piece of paper before

00:32:23
you go to say that's what you're
doing you have to make it

00:32:26
a very short trip and you have to stay
home you have to do it within the set. Of

00:32:32
your hood it cannot be for example
you can't go and take the dog on

00:32:36
a tank almost no wool it has to be nearby
What about the rest of your Obviously

00:32:41
there are boarders all over the place in
Europe with other countries are other

00:32:45
nations they're also getting even more
serious as in France yes indeed I'm Type one

00:32:52
of the major have been shows that the
European Union has put in place in the last

00:32:57
few hours as being the external the
European Union on Dow closed and they would

00:33:03
only be open for the European Union nationals
who are coming home to get it across

00:33:09
the board is within the European Union
if you would in another country say for

00:33:14
example if you live nearby the boulder
and you need to cross that border. Good

00:33:19
skills there but we're looking at the whole
of your view pretty much the same. And

00:33:25
you got in Belgium you were looking at
shelters being closed right across in the in

00:33:30
the east Finland this is days of emergency
the old isn't closed people aged over 70

00:33:36
have been told to go into quarantine in
Germany same thing or does it close to

00:33:41
front and Switzerland We've
also going to in Spain there's

00:33:46
a complete lockdown there are 15 days to

00:33:49
a motion see the same in Switzerland
stays of attention say shops restaurants

00:33:56
closed so used to seeing the whole of
your sinfully go into lockdown again the

00:34:02
message it didn't need to be you know people
asking about people have to stay home

00:34:07
and the whole idea is to stop the spread
of the virus they've realized already

00:34:14
that they're it's in communities as well
as saying you need to keep at home stay at

00:34:20
home because hell so this is even though
that variant phones and it's free so what

00:34:26
the hell so this is really going to come
under strain. I really want to end it

00:34:31
there because I was

00:34:32
a really good when and I just thought I
don't know I mean I use this next one but

00:34:37
let's put it in. We've heard

00:34:40
a lot about everything closing in France
including grocery stores so how are people

00:34:46
going to have enough food. Exactly
yeah good question why this

00:34:53
announcement from President that call was
expected so some say could still is will

00:34:59
be allowed to say Oh then you'll still
be able to go online there will be some

00:35:05
close to being able to speak to an event
but essentially if you haven't got don't

00:35:10
then you're going to be looking at every
day I think it was more locals is open and

00:35:17
that it has on the shelves the food that
you want for the next 15 days the United

00:35:22
States government wants Americans to avoid
gathering in groups of more than 10

00:35:26
people at

00:35:26
a time they want schooling to be done at
home and discretionary travel avoid it the

00:35:31
announcements came Monday by u.s. President
Donald Trump we get more now from v.o.a.

00:35:37
White House Hero Chief Steve Herman the
president in the White House briefing room

00:35:41
also said people should not patronize
bars or restaurants and not unnecessarily

00:35:46
socialize as we combat the virus
each and every one of us says

00:35:51
a critical role to play in suffering the
spread and transmission of visitors as the

00:35:57
president spoke the Dow Jones Industrial
Average closed down 13 percent its worst

00:36:03
performance since the start of the coronavirus
crisis asked about the plunge Crum

00:36:08
said markets will boom again once the
pandemic passes but he acknowledged in the

00:36:13
meantime the economy could go into
a recession Steve Herman v.o.a.

00:36:19
News at the White House so where do things
stand has this virus peaked in the u.s.

00:36:25
And elsewhere and why do some people who
are not high risk get sick while others

00:36:31
don't Joining us to answer these and other
questions is Dr Arthur Caplan professor

00:36:36
of bioethics at New York University
L'Engle netted. Center and the founding

00:36:41
director of the division of medical ethics
where do you believe we are off of this

00:36:46
so-called curve I think America is doing
better social isolation people staying at

00:36:52
home has started to catch on people are
doing it more is the good news the bad news

00:36:57
is it's

00:36:58
a need president try to press conference
calls for more social distancing and

00:37:02
social isolation and I think
that's good because he's been

00:37:05
a little bit in denial about this you
know if you're that many of his strongest

00:37:09
supporters that are distancing you know
salacious So I think we're on the right

00:37:14
track we're

00:37:15
a little behind the 8 ball should be sooner
and remember the point here is to make

00:37:20
the virus so much go away but as we've
seen in Italy if you get huge demand in

00:37:26
a particular region it can swamp the health
care system you can spread the cases

00:37:31
out by slowing down the infectivity rate
to something lower then you can avoid

00:37:36
having your crunch on the hospitals right
which sounds like we are not prepared in

00:37:41
this country for why could the times for

00:37:44
a con it sounds like this is going to get
worse before it gets better I think we're

00:37:48
going to see it get worse over the next
couple of weeks and I think one thing is

00:37:52
happening is America has more test
kits more testing is going on there's

00:37:56
a lot of infections out there no doubt about
it we're going to pick it up it's not

00:37:59
that it's getting worse so we're going to
see what we've been it's been circulating

00:38:04
around out there for

00:38:05
a while but then scare people we have to
train told them and say look it's not that

00:38:09
the epidemic the pandemic is growing worse
and worse and so we're just seeing the

00:38:14
extent of it is right now somebody said to
me Do you think you've been exposed and

00:38:19
I said absolutely I want to read students
they were coming to health care center my

00:38:23
wife is

00:38:23
a hospital administrator I can't imagine
I haven't been exposed to this virus so

00:38:28
maybe lucky I've been able to find the
rostering only had my symptoms but I

00:38:32
suspected most American big cities people
have been exposed they just don't know

00:38:37
it's

00:38:37
a rave basically been just interacting and
during the. Nothing in going about our

00:38:41
business while many many people have it so
if this were to quiet down or get under

00:38:47
control is it likely that we'll be back in

00:38:50
a situation in the fall or winter that's

00:38:53
a great question and I think the answer
is it is likely that we will get the rate

00:38:58
of infection to what we're going to face
of political and social decision is that

00:39:04
enough to take off the isolation the distance
saying the dope in the restaurants or

00:39:09
in the bars back bring the sports back it's
not that it's going to go to 0 I think

00:39:13
we're going to have some disease
circulating out there and

00:39:17
a very low level once we get through this
1st wave then I'm absolutely certain it's

00:39:22
going to come back we don't have

00:39:24
a vaccine that's what we need people who
are telling Jackson nation should be

00:39:28
kicking themselves in the but they cause
us not to have enough not seen production

00:39:33
to have enough companies and facilities
and attention paid to vaccine preventable

00:39:38
diseases it's our only solution in the
long run to beating this thing so in the

00:39:43
short run I think we go one more winter
we're going to go through the same stuff

00:39:46
and the rate may rise again of the disease
for those of us who like you think you

00:39:51
probably are going to exposed or may have
been exposed in even one test positive

00:39:55
but don't have any symptoms are we building
any kind of immune system which should

00:39:59
do the answer the question of building
up immunity I think we are because every

00:40:04
single virus that we know that tends
to can for some immunity you know it's

00:40:09
possible to catch the same thing again
I think that's possible I believe it's

00:40:13
possible with Ebola which is a virus

00:40:15
a slew I'm not sure but I think you can be
reinfected rarely clear that so this may

00:40:21
be

00:40:21
a virus that does permit reinfection even
if you hadn't been exposed to it we don't

00:40:26
know hopefully somewhere China Italy
Iran here somebody is surveilling

00:40:32
a group of patients to see we know
you've been exposed we confirmed

00:40:36
a test let's say if you get in to get it
will start that in the. USA hope putting

00:40:41
some people under surveillance just established
as to what we really don't know by

00:40:45
the way that's what makes the British
approach to dangerous they're not isolating

00:40:49
and doing all the social distancing as
far as they know the pubs are still open

00:40:53
schools are still open they're still able
to make they're doing after heart of

00:40:57
unity saying well let's let everybody get
infected and then when it comes back

00:41:01
we'll be in better shape but that reserve
is the chilling the weak and the little

00:41:05
it isn't clear that it can't
get reinfected And you mention

00:41:08
a week in the vulnerable we hear a lot
about the elderly getting it I just heard

00:41:12
a story about someone under 40 being
extremely sick and a coma from this and and

00:41:17
a new more that was infected on your early
life you know really dangerous for the

00:41:22
people who are 65 it's not that you
can't get it as a newborn or even

00:41:27
a healthy adolescent or adult there are
changes but they just aren't many of whose

00:41:32
tells me that our immune systems aren't
capable of fighting this thing there may be

00:41:37
people who have

00:41:38
a particular genetic make up this you
don't understand that we don't understand

00:41:42
that makes

00:41:43
a little more vulnerable to the virus
that maybe people who have bulging or in

00:41:47
diseases that we didn't know about maybe
they did it develop that makes them prone

00:41:50
to get it generally speaking the danger
is and therefore the elderly I would say

00:41:56
that's the group that really has to be

By the way of Sanders you criticize the

these 2 shut up is unacceptable for him to

late I conclude that I will in fact.

will in all likelihood do the same but
