see for yourself, at carvana.com >>> breaking news in our health lead today. the european unionng blocking american visitors due to the recent uptick in cases in the u.s., according to two e.u. diplomats. europe has seen a steady decrease in cases as countries there continue to reopen. italy today recording its lowest number of new coronavirus cases since march. it was march when italian hospitals began to overflow. some doctors having to decide who would live and who would die because of the shortage of ventilators. and the entire country was on lockdown at that point. they have since, italy, turned a corner, at least for now. and, yet, here in the united states, at least ten states have seen their highest average number of cases over the last week. so what are other countries doing right that the united states is not currently? joining me now to discuss is director of harvard's global health institute. you are quoted in "politico" saying you'd rather spend the summer in rome with your family than in phoenix given the current state of this pandemic. explain why. >> yeah. so, ja

putting tars on the european union put of the european union is about to get a decision and the next month or so by the world health organization about subsidies the was gave to boeing. the u.s. is expected to put on $11.5 billion worth of tariffs. we could see trade war's escalating transatlantic at a time when the global economy needs that very little. guy: absolutely. my understanding is we could see on the airbus side coming through early next month. mike, thank you. stocks under pressure as a result of what we are seeing on the tar if front, and also what is happening in terms of the virus. the latest data out of the united states worrying, to put it mildly. a few minutes ago, we spoke to exaggerate a it is a -- we spoke to alexandre de juniac -- we spoke to gita gopinath. when the lockdowns were more severe, the lockdowns were worse and we anticipated in april. the second factor because they're still no medical solution to this crisis, we are expecting much more persistent social-distancing into the second half of this year, so the combination will have an impact to growth potential for economies, too. these

impact is to fracture all to break solidarity to undermine world health organisation to breaking out unity to break apart the european union in lawsuit ways and i think nationalistic. attempts to solve the problem and the instituto are tarty are going to fail because they're dealing with physical reality and you can't bargain with nature and it's nature that has delivered this message and so people will you know only in the long term are going to have to adjust the way they live and conduct business to take into account this new vitally important aspect of our life the need to assist with that 19 so i think some important changes in a positive direction are going to happen out of our self interest as a species we can survive without changing he also said that. this car on the bar is how has it really brought us to work and the roles that of us humanity have to make huge rethinking at last at least rather than by a single prison it's on a diet is it really the advice i think one message that i didn't do our last few weeks is that. nobody ever attacked me or my families how bad the not. eating very mostly white eat and how m
