in europe, justice ministers met to discuss the best ways to manage the risk of outbreaks in prison and detention centers. dr. chrisrer is an equity mail adjust with expertise at the intersection of epidemiology and human health. he joins us now from baltimore. how do you get your arms around the ethics and constitutionality , havingsing inmates them not put themselves and others at risk of a virus already broken out in the prison? dr. beyrer: the first thing to say is you have to remember that the united states incarcerate more people than any other country in the world, about 2.3 million people in our jails and prisons, many of whom are therefore essentially administrative charges. parole violation, unpaid fees, fines. there may never be a justification for using incarceration as a way to manage those persons, but certainly in the face of the pandemic, it was totally unjustifiable, because prisons, jails, detention facilities are known to be extremely high risk for ofnsmission acquisition respiratory viruses and other infectious diseases. inmates, itjust the is also the staff, people that come in and out. most pr

chris mason there. let us turn away from the uk and have a look at the rest of europe.ou an update from spain because spain has the highest number of cases across europe, there are hopes though that is the peak may have passed. it is because for a fourth consecutive day, the number of deaths has in fa ct fa lle n day, the number of deaths has in fa ct fallen to day, the number of deaths has in fact fallen to 637 fatalities in the past 2a hours. last week, up to 950 people were dying every day, so you can see that drop, of course it is still tragic but there is a drop and s03 still tragic but there is a drop and so a bit of hope there. he is a spokesperson for the spanish health ministry. what we are seeing is that the rate of increase in this pandemic is falling and this decrease is also reflected in the number of secondary infections. this isa number of secondary infections. this is a very good indicator in epidemiological terms for us and we will be monitoring carefully this decrease over the coming days. well, spanish officials are planning to widen testing to includ

europe and the u.s. and i think therefore it is very difficult for them to talk to investors about what is happening over the next period of time. anna: chrisso difficult to see reasons to get exposure to health care stocks at this point, clearly they are at the forefront of fighting the pandemic and they also have those defensive qualities. what attracts you to health care at the moment? we have seen a substantial rebound in global stocks since the lows of march. do you think investors are going to structurally move toward more exposure to health care businesses in the future? parts toere are two that. yes, we have seen a bounce in markets, but it has actually been more pronounced in the u.s. and in a very small proportion of stocks in the u.s. the european indices, u.s. stillcap, the ftse index have not bounced anywhere near as much. the second part of the question about health care, yes, of course, health care is at the forefront of trying to find a vaccine for coronavirus. it seems to be a very defensive sector. , people else happens are going to need health care and they are probably going to need more health care going forward, so it

chris. thanks for having me on. when the outbreak began in china, this is a china problem and said it's an asian problem and for a little while, it was europe and crazy health systems and a european problem. then last week we were -- this is a new york, california, washington state problem. at some point we have to accept the fact it's a human problem and it hits different places and different densities and different times but the idea that the number of people who are infected won't be the same in all these places, defies logic. the virus will spread. it might go a little more slowly in a rural area than a dense city but it's coming to a town near you, and like the lesson, we keep having this denial of it's going to be somebody else's problem and i think finally this week i got a sense that more or less every american and political leader started realizing the problem is theirs as well and not just a new york or california problem. >> so we have now hit a point where we've kind of ramped up testing, although plateaued and the death rate is growing at an unspeakable rate that i just find really upsetting profoundly. where are we right now o

europe get through this without corona bonds or some kind of debt mutual is a -- some kind of debt mutualization? will the european economies be able to survive without going completely bankrupt? chris: i think it is a really important point because the risks in the euro area rising as well, and the market is not thinking about that quite enough. you can see the spreads are starting to widen on some of this periphery debt. we've got the 500 billion euro deal, which is papering over the cracks, and isn't really debt mutualization. it sort of is, but isn't really utilizing debt. it will be interesting to see what the final outcome is in terms of how they pay for that and who accepts what responsibility. i think the euro risk is a challenge, and markets are really feeling their way on that, and the spreads are starting to widen to reflect that. i thing that is very important for the market price action from here. vonnie: is there anything that would be attractive to you right now? are you nibbling away at anything here? chris: i think energy is really interesting. i don't buy this argument that we are going to run out of storage capacity, and therefore face all sorts of challenges of o

chris, you have people inside the white house including the deputy national security advisor who by early february are saying we need to go farther than restricting travel to china. this outbreak reached europe. we are not doing our jobs unless restart restricting travel there and that doesn't happen for another six weeks, and you heard the governor of new york just this past week talk about how the united states may have closed the front door on the coronavirus but left the backdoor open and we now know that the outbreak in new york is predominantly traced to the spread of this pathogen through europe. the infection in new york comes from europe, not from china. >> all right. greg miller along with his colleague. great reporting. thank you very much. >> thank you. >>> joining me now for more on what we do to reopen america, the director of the harvard university global health institute and doctor, you know, i think americans often we get very tunnel vision and get very admired in american exceptionalism how we do things but this is a problem dozens and dozens of countries are confronting at the same time. when you sort of survey the landscape, what are the lessons to learn there about how t

europe, so you see import numbers eating estimates beatingg estimates. -- estimates. balance intoade deficit again for the first time since january. again, exports dropping for 16 consecutive sessions. let's bring in editor chrisoes this play to severity of japan's gdp contractions? certainly nott's a good sign for the momentum of trade going into the start of the second quarter. goldman sachs a few weeks ago penciled in a 25% contraction in japan's gdp in the second quarter. and these kinds of numbers would feed right into that sort of worst-case scenario. one thing that we should probably note is that import figure being a little less than of a decline -- a little less of a decline in forecast could also reflect that although japan has seen a pickup in coronavirus cases, there really hasn't been a wholesale economic lockdown in this country that we've seen in many countries in europe and in many states in the united states, so that's perhaps a sign that domestic demand in the second quarter may not be that horrendous. we'll have to look at retail sales next week in terms of how they came in for march and what sort of momentum they had going into the second quarter. but it is notable that, just looking at sto
