germany, france and the uk locked down within days, learning their lessons from italy, which took sixhe entire country. the us, however, still hasn't declared a national lockdown, more than 45 days later. if you look at what's going on in this country, i don't understand why we're not doing that. we really should be. so why didn't the us act sooner? in the end, most states did issue stay—at—home orders, covering 92% of the us population. but, as the chart shows, some states took action much faster than others. we will look at that more detail in a moment. in more detail in a moment. there are practical reasons for the different approaches. it is a big country with some places hit much harder by the outbreak than others. plus, power is not as centralised in the us, so a national lockdown is not as easy to do. but the main reason why the us missed an opportunity to get ahead of the virus was a lack of information on how bad the outbreak really was. on january 20th and 21st, south korea and the us confirmed their first case. we have it totally under control, it's one person coming in fro

this is a historical step for france and germany, and i hope for all european countries. but let us be clear, minister — you say mr macron and mrs merkel have decided, but frankly nothing at all has been decided. this is simply a proposal, and it is a proposal that is so historic — to use your word — that it seems very likely significant numbers of other member states of the eu will not accept this idea of debt sharing which, in essence, is what this is. i know what that it will be difficult to convince the other partners — some of the partners, for instance, austria, denmark, sweden, the netherlands — to go this way. but when you look at the steps that have been already decided, i think that we are on the right way. we have been able, with the 27 member states on 9 april, to adopt a global package for the economic recovery within the eu with a new loan from the eab, with the so—called mechanism sure, with their use of the esm, and with this recovery fund. now france and germany have been able to find an agreement on the funding of this recovery fund with the common debt.
