where the third wave is getting more serious from what we saw. you mentioned the record numbers we got sunday, 108 in total for that day. it forced the government to extend social distancing measures to the restaurant restrictions will be in place for another week. you have gyms continued to be closed and masks must be worn in indoor areas. this is beyond what they said a week ago where you should wear them and public transport. -- in public transport. civil servants will be working from home starting today. we heard from carrie lam saying the situation is very severe. at this point there is no sign this virus is under control. the big concern has been the 40% areses of the 108, local cases that are of unknown origin.

some report by a newspaper, 60% hasnot happy with how japan responded. compared to a month ago it was half of that number. preventing infections, they say should take priority over economic activities. most are calling for localized state of emergencies to come back into play and some are calling for the nationwide state of emergency to come back. you mentioned the record numbers in tokyo, reached numbers for two days straight. aresays total infections 9400 in tokyo. and this as we see the prime minister's approval rating coming down to 32% and his disapproval rate rising to 60%. haidi: we continue to see numbers reach extraordinary s in the u.s. as we see

the politicized debate over masks. said it is nih chief bizarre that wearing masks has become a partisan issue where people are not wearing them, which is not something we see in this part of the world. in the fox news sunday interview, president trump spoke on a wide-ranging interview about the virus issues. he is playing down the virus rise, saying people are experiencing nothing more than sniffles, positive tests are only assigned they are doing wider testing. the u.s. response is the envy of the world, he says. asked about his relationship with dr. anthony fauci, he said that sometimes dr. fauci can be an alarmist, but he says they have a great relationship. we have seen members of his

administration also criticized fauci and the comments he made. see casesint we will rise to present or so, still above the -- 2% or so, still above the daily average. yvonne man in hong kong with the latest. we will get more on the virus resurgence with the university of new south wales advisor. will victoria's move on masks be enough to turn the tide? saying longategists when it comes to global stocks. this is bloomberg. ♪

correct, it was overdue considering the strength of the moves we had seen previously. two large degree it is also reflecting the fact -- to a large degree it is also looking at chinese recovery accelerating and recovery outside the u.s. gathering momentum. gross stocks like the tech sector, then to underperform a little bit because investors don't need to be as much growth. so what we are seeing on a go forward basis is to continue to bet on the sectors that will be the most improving global growth involved industrial production. materials, very attractive in this environment. european equities that fit the mold as well. we continue to see a trend with the u.s. dollar

continuing to weaken for a fourth consecutive week. when you have the weaker greenback, what is a sure bet? >> the weaker greenback fits in the context of stronger global growth. the dollar is defined by its [indiscernible] the best way to bet on the weaker greenback is to bring back -- would be to continue again with the materials equities which would low a lower dollar -- love a lower dollar. if the dollar breaks down, that would be favorable for continuation of the recent underperformance of tech stocks. initially -- additionally we see the non-us stocks outperform u.s. stocks when the dollar depreciates, not just because of the translation effect but the slower u.s. dollar favors

response to global growth strengthening and favors the strengthen global growth because -- factors, the materials, industrials, towards lower financials, tend to benefit more. you find more waking sectors in europe and emerging markets and in japan than in the united states. that has explained why when the dollar depreciates even in local currency terms, u.s. stocks underperform. japan and europe will take advantage of that as well as materials and industrials. haidi: we see after three days of sparring, e.u. leaders failing to reach an agreement on this stimulus package. does that impact your view on the euro and european equities at all? or does that rely on being able to secure certainty for what the

to a consensus and at the package. we do not think the absence of weekend is the death knell of an agreement. we think there will be generous grants afforded to the southern european nations. is it going to be 400 billion euros? likely here. at the end of the day the most important players in europe, germany, france, spain, italy and the european commission all see eye-to-eye. when those forces are aligned, the deal down the road is very elevated. we would not be discouraged when it comes to europe arriving at a deal. haidi: always appreciate your time. strategy at bca research.

's handling of the pandemic is a key topic for voters and medical experts alike. a johns hopkins professor told us the response to the virus has been a failure. >> being prepared for this pandemic, having seen the first large number of cases, we should have been better prepared to deal with the eventual searches and small outbreaks that are occurring now. it's incredibly disconcerting to see the level of cases that are coming up in places and, more

importantly, the lack of real responses to get those case numbers down. this is not the way you deal with the pandemic, and we have been prepared, not only from our own experiences, but from the experiences of other countries. we know how to intervene to -- to get these case numbers down. there seems to be a lack of personal or political will to implement those tools. tom: we've seen some good articles this week showing percentage of mask wearing in societies and all that. what are we going to see in the next week or two. -- or two? i was ripped up on twitter, looking at the appdynamics -- at the death dynamics. help me with the death dynamics lighting the case dynamics now -- lagging the case dynamics now. >> we know, because of the course of the disease, we will see case numbers increase first. we will see hospitalizations lag that by anywhere from seven days

to 10 days. we will see deaths lag that by another seven days or so. the initial cases are in a younger population now. those surges are coming up in what we call healthier individuals, who may not be suffering as much debts, but what we are -- deaths, but what we are going to see is the transmission of the virus from those individuals to more susceptible individuals. the hospitalization and the death rates will increase at an even further delay. we are expecting to see these surges in severe cases lag even further than we have in the first wave in the country. by the time we see that surge, it's going to be almost too late to intervene because of that delay, in terms of monitoring cases. >> that would certainly be a very serious situation. in terms of the severity of cases, is it really true that cases are less severe for young people? you see a lot of anecdotal evidence, particularly on social

media, of people talking about really frightening symptoms that recur for weeks, if not months on end. >> this is the important thing to understand about things like when people use things like case fatality rates or hospitalization rates. it may be that if you are younger, the percentage of individuals who suffer those severe cases is lower across the population. we have to remember that virtually the entire u.s. population is susceptible to diseases. even to this disease. even a small percentage of severe cases, amplified by the entire population of the u.s., turns into a large number of cases. that's the important part that people have to remember. it's not just about, well, most young individuals won't suffer severe cases. there's enough of these young individuals that the number of severe cases is going to be large. and on top of that, they are efficient transmitters of the disease. you will see the severe disease

in other populations that suffer from severe disease. this is not a benign disease. this is not a common cold-like virus. is severity of disease covered within large numbers of susceptible people and will translate into a large number of severe cases. >> on the transmission, the who is still looking into whether there is an airborne transmission of covid-19. but what about the immune response? what more do we know about whether people can build up sufficient immunity to this, as we wait for a vaccine? >> yeah. so, with the vaccine trials, we have had some good results. still preliminary results. still results off small population sizes. but it seems like many of the vaccines that have been fast-tracked are generating the immune response that we want to see, that we assume will protect us from infection. >> that was a johns hopkins professor speaking to us. bloomberghopkins

school of public health is supported by michael bloomberg, the founder of bloomberg lp and bloomberg philanthropy's. -- philantrophies. masks will become mandatory in melbourne. they will restrict visits to aids care centers -- age care centers. joined by a professor and advisor through the world health organization, mary-louise mclaws. great to have you with us again. we really do appreciate your time. the mandatory mask rule in victoria and across melbourne -- do you think this is enough to avoid a stricter lockdown? start.uise: it's a great with this approach, they have done a lockdown on july 1. we are already starting to see the benefits. you are looking at a rolling 14 days, which is two incubation

periods. for the speed at which this is growing, it seems to have settled down and plateaued. that has helped a lot. they've got infections coming from three areas. yes, they had to quarantine hotels. that was breached and went into the wider community. community,into the into retail. but now we've got health services. and so, there are many people that work between health services, particularly age care, so they all need to wear a face mask, without exception, or a face shield. this will decrease the risk dramatically. other researchers have found that mask wearing can reduce the r, the reproductive number, by 200-fold, just in a

few weeks, if everyone wears a mask. so, it's a great addition to their previous decision of a lockdown. so, does that mean states like new south wales should also be leaning towards wearing masks prophylactically? we are starting to see the nascent beginnings of clusters. should we be waiting until there is widespread community transmission before masks are being advised? i talkedse: so, when about the lockdown in melbourne, that was in hotspots. it's easier to do it when you know there are areas in the city that have increased numbers. 'ut in other cities epidemiology, it was around the social venues and clumps, and then people dissipate to all sorts of geographical locations throughout sydney, so it's very

difficult to say where we should do knockd -- lockdowns. getting back to a question about mask use, we have not gotten to a level yet of 100 cases over 14 days. int's what epidemiologists outbreak management look for to they areer or not close to containment or elimination. we are close in new south wales at 75, but i wouldn't suggest a widespread mask use, except for in public transport or catching the lift or your work condition, where you just can't change the built -- the environment. knew that of reopening of economies around the world would actually lead to another resurgence of the virus, but when you look at not only australia, but places like here

in the united states or hong kong or japan, are we still within the range of what's seen as acceptable after reopening economies or are we past that? mary-louise: every country that lifts restrictions has resurgence, because it's hard or near impossible to -- you will have this background level. it depends how low that background level is as to whether or not you can contain these little spot fires of increased numbers. so, in places like america, it's going to be nearly impossible without 100% of americans all wearing a face mask and potentially having stay-at-home orders rolling on and off for a couple of iterations of a generation, say

14 days on, 14 days off. ,ut in countries like hong kong australia, new zealand, lifting the restrictions and the 14-day rolling average, a total of less than 100, means you should have to wear masks and you can potentially lift restrictions without this incredible surge of numbers that other countries have expected. >> is eradication still a goal in places like hong kong that seem to have done a very good job, just to find out that now they have this spike in cases and many of them without a known origin? mary-louise: yes. well, of course, having a known origin is very difficult when around 20% of cases -- we're not

exactly sure of the number. around 20% of cases will remain ptomatic, and then, of course, all of the other cases remain infectious around two days before they get symptoms. and so, you are always going to have this background of small numbers. in hong kong has done particularly well. -- and hong kong has done particularly well. 400 to 500ptick of cases. but they should be able to get that under control with 100% of face masks. they are asking people to go home after work, because they were able to control it the last time. when they are at peak, there were 700 -- it's going to be hard work, but they should be able to do this.

but this is why you have to act earlier. you have to act before it becomes a large number. and i think it is about 100 over 14 days. if it is more than that, it's an incredibly high -- hard job to get the numbers back down, because of the 20% that could be asymptomatic and the 80% that are infectious a couple days beforehand. we are more proactive than reactive. hong kong could have started to around early july, when the number was 110, and then they may not have this big challenge they've gotten ahead of them to not just contain the 500 active cases they have at the moment, but those potential second generation cases. so, professor, with that goal

of eradication, does that realistically mean some of those easy measures that we just talked about, that gave rise to these cases, things like pubs and restaurants with large gatherings, cinemas and theaters -- these sorts of public venues where large gatherings take place, not to mention international borders -- all these things will not be able to return to normal if we want to eradicate this virus, at least until such time as we get an effective and widespread vaccine? mary-louise: yes. i believe that the closest we will get to eradication is less than 100 over that two-week period. otherwise, you are not going to be able to have life back to normal. that, if you allowed people to go to sporting venues, to work without a face shield or face mask, to the movie

theaters, then if you have the numbers down, what i call close to eradication, less than 100, you if you did get a spike, will find it much easier to contain, rather than if it's in the 100's. i think we can get, let's call containable eradication. if you are just going to go for and same level of over 100 sometimes 600 or 700 each day, it's a challenge you may not meet. it may be too difficult before you get a vaccine, if we get one in the near future. haveofessor, finally, we seen the who now formally conceding that covid-19 may linger in the indoor areas. they have also unequivocally

acknowledged that asymptomatic people can actually transmit the virus. that happened just last week. you advise the who. whether it comes to these two points or even mask wearing, have they been a little too conservative for the wider public? mary-louise: first of all, the guidelines that i've been associated with, the mask guidelines that were updated on june 5, were fairly clear. its just that who has made a piecee clear with that they've given to journalists and the public to be able to read. they've always acknowledged that there is been a potential for airborne. it's just it doesn't happen or it's very difficult to prove that it's the main cause of spread in communities. certainly, they have

acknowledged that, in close, confined areas, such as a restaurant, it's possible with more ventilation -- poor ventilation. they've made it quite obvious that you have to have good ventilation. --y suggested face mask now they have suggested face masks now, when the infection rate is high. they waited till june 5 because they were waiting for good measure analysis. doesn't make evidence. this particular analysis is quite difficult to do. there were groups around the world doing these analysis, to bring these studies together, to masks are better than no mask at all. once they had that evidence, they then put it out there. who developed guidelines that

are based in evidence, not necessarily just best practice or one or two studies. so, i'd suggest that it's best to be very careful about how to interpret the occasional one study looking at air samples or one study in a restaurant. a restaurant before we start making it good evidence. they have now put it out. the countries were always able to make their own decisions. certainly, america made their own decision early on. who is now teaching people how to use good cloth masks, three players, -- layers. now, the evidence is out there. >> thank you for joining us. professor and advisor to the who mary-louise mclaws. we have been alert from the

bloomberg regarding that european union talk, when it comes to the stimulus package. officials saying that the dutch and austrians are looking isolated on that recovery deal, and that the netherlands and austria are the strongest holdouts in those talks. of course, we have seen that dispute over whether the 750 billion euros stimulus package would be dispersed as grants versus loans. hawks have pushed for the handouts to be a bit smaller. we have more to come. this is bloomberg. ♪
