a long way to go before it can compete with sars but at that time china faced international criticism for acting too slowly and withholding critical information from other countries. right for more on this says bring in dr mohammed when a he's a viral interest at lancaster university in the u.k. welcome to you talk someone here now in your assessment is china going about its response the right way. not really because i think the horse has already been bolted however to the efforts nay are making now to contain the movements and to lock down the cities these are at the shaded but these already definitely late we if we look into the history of how devices have been contained in in the paused into it all the knowing mexico has been one of the example when they have shut down their aster on their cafe and their territories and so on that definitely how do.

you limit the suppression of the infection however it did not really fully how to control it so based on these observations i think it is a start it is a smart move although it looks bad on people i know we have 2 confirmed cases in france now how prepared is europe for this outbreak well that is another thing europe has. put in place of precaution in years much slower than other countries such as america and australia all over in couldn't see a situation a majority of the busy or the main airports they are having a very good scanning system in place and all of them they are given information has already been so proud all over the europe and people have a lot more information so i think personally that the infrastructure and the overall preparedness that is in place at the moment it's probably sufficient enough to be vigilant enough and to catch the cases that my ligaments actions right now we

have 40 deaths and i have a. 100 people infected there are likely of course a lot of people who have been in contact with the virus so how much worse do you think it will get before it starts to get better. well it's i think probably too early to predict this one however if we look on to the previous diseases i think we have not reached to the platter but there are still things that need to be done more onto the reporting system and especially are looking into the what are the factors that are going to do to suppress the interaction between different people and what are the main strategies that are effectively working against them so until we do those conclusion is probably a little too much to undertake that inspection or declining income in coming weeks i think it's too early to predict anything on doubt absolutely all of work to be down there to establish those key factors dr mohammed one year from lancaster
