overseas i don't say to fathers his age pekin to about 10 weeks tell him so that's when i will get really concerned what we don't know yet is full range of data and evidence that we would need to know whether or not we do become immune to this virus possibly. it's a right strategy possibly some wrong strategy we don't know but nobody seems to be giving us all the range of maybe once a year. yeah i saw the reaction in the british couple what mike tilsley is an associate professor of infectious disease modeling out of the u.k. the university of warrick he explained the thinking behind the government's approach. community is that when enough people have been following the virus then. the epidemic will eventually die out so essentially what we're still trying to do is we're trying to control the outbreak so we're trying to put interventions that will delay the peak of the epidemic and also reduce the height of the epidemic to point to the certain number of people would be infected then it could no longer in fact he won't be equal because he sensually people had contacts and been infected and

. >> this is the model we chose, the pekin fatalities will not arrive in another two weeks for the same modeling also shows that by very vigorously following these guidelines, we can save more than 1 million american lives. >> dr. anthony fauci warning that with the guidelines, tens of thousands of people could succumb to the virus. >> looking at what we are seeing now, i would say between 100,200,000 cases. i don't want to be held to that -- deaths. we are going to have millions of cases, but i just don't think that we really need to make a projection when it is such a moving target that you can so easily be wrong and mislead people. >> without the extension or any efforts to mitigate the person to person contact death toll could be catastrophic. >> if we did that, if we just kept to business as usual and didn't do anything to stop it or repeat it, could have been 2.2 million people could have died. 2.2 million people. >> in addition to guidelines for social distancing, will soon have to make decisions about border and travel restrictions. the 30 day restriction on travel from e.u. cou

see that it's as i say it's very curious and interesting what's going on in china we have this this pekin this apparent downward trend we have what 19 cases now is this something in this is this what's likely to happen in italy to good morning yes well we can't necessarily say what happens in one country always helps and happens in another country but there are really really important things that china has taught us they had an enormous sum break vast numbers of cases and they took very very strong measures they asked everybody not to move they asked everybody to distance socially that stay at least a meter away from each other they asked everybody to be absolutely festive dius about personal hygiene and they also paid attention to environmental hygiene make sure they clean the places they cleaned everywhere and as you say as we're talking about the numbers are extraordinary the thing that you can really see when you look at the epidemiological curve and i don't have it with me unfortunately but it what it was going up like this the numbers and then it starts to flatten when they took tho

. >> are you done supervisor pekin? i am, president yee. >> since maybe nobody else is having this issue under screen, but somebody's screen is showing on the screen. so can we recheck on that? supervisor ronr. en. >> yes, thank you. are there any large projects that we've put on hold due to the crisis that, perhaps, we're going to either no longer pursue or push back that are on this horizon that might save money? just any thoughts of some of the larger really expensive projects that i know often have money dedicated only to them and so it doesn't necessarily help the general fund, you know, situation? i'm just curious. >> i think that will be the first place to look. shortly after the release of the joint report today, the mayor's office issued instructions about their approach to the current fiscal year and i believe miss kirkpatrick will be there tomorrow at committee to talk about that. i think a big piece of the tone was pausing, pausing nonessential capital projects. >> do you mean wednesday, not tomorrow. >> i b
