it effective treatment let alone a vaccine are still in the early stages something germany's top by rolla just recently called a dream to tell him we're not dreaming we're working on making it a reality that the work is likely to take months of painstaking research and testing in cooperation with the public and private sectors around the world until then germany's government says it will reevaluate the situation every 2 weeks and adjust precautions accordingly. well for more let's go straight to political correspondent simon young health minister young spawn says the outbreak is now manageable what exactly does that mean. here get out the health ministers comments at his press conference today were pretty much in line with what chancellor merkel said on wednesday you know there's room for cautious optimism because of the numbers of good in the trends of good and so little bit of easing has begun but really what he was talking about was this point. she said is the health care system here in germany been under pressure that he couldn't deal with and indeed 6 of 719 patients have been outpat

local carnival infecting dozens of citizens and putting the town in the focus of politicians and by rolla just like. times work. first the unique opportunity to us because the virus arrived here on a very specific date on february 14th or 15th during carnival. based on this we have sufficient data for example to determine unrecorded cases. has become a case study for cobbett 19 and the question how can we go back to normal a lot depends on how patients develop immunity to cope at 19 through antibodies to find out mouth swaps and blood tests were conducted in 1000 locals. and 15 percent of the population of the municipality here can no longer be infected with sars to. prove it's viola's computer talk. there has been some criticism that the study might not be representative of other regions also some experts fear it might be too early to say whether or not antibodies prevent further infections with corona virus. we'll talk to leading scientists here in a moment if and if so how the search for anti-bodies can help the fight against covert 19 1st a quick reminder what exactly we mean when we

effective treatment let alone a vaccine are still in their early stages something germany's top by rolla just recently called a dream to tell him we're not dreaming we're working on making it a reality the work is likely to take months of painstaking research and testing and cooperation with the public and private sectors around the world until then germany's government says it will reevaluate the situation every 2 weeks and adjust precautions accordingly. political correspondent simon young can tell us more welcome simon there's been a lot of talk about reproduction numbers this week 100 reports but this is not point 7 in germany outline for us why it's important. yeah this reproduction rate is really the number that tells you if the virus is spreading in a controlled way or whether it's out of control and anything under one basically a good number so as you mentioned we today germany is now at 0.7 what that really means is that if you imagine 10 people infected with the virus on average they're only infecting another 7 people so as those original 10 recover there are only 7 people who

professor and rolla just spoke to us about the unique nature of this virus.s interesting in that it causes a broad spectrum of diseases. it is true the vast majority of people will suffer mild to moderate diseases, maybe even no symptoms at all. but when you look at the vulnerable portions of the population, the elderly, when you look at people with secondary medical conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, lung disease, even when you look at relatively healthy individuals, there are a significant part of the population that has severe disease requiring, if not a hospital visit, admission into the hospital. so it runs on a huge spectrum in terms of how it presents that infection. enzymes't want to talk rna,friday, certainly not and the other necessities of doing a test, but i would , america, from the top down, does not understand the sophisticated biochemistry of tests. how hard is it to do millions of tests for this virus? we know a lot about the virus, and you certainly can do good testing. it requires not only a good test but also a good laboratory tha

investigation unfolded, right now we learned intelligence analysts are looking into the wuhan institute of rolland what action chinese government took and when, once they got a complete picture on all of this they will present their findings and ultimately president trump will make a determination on how and when to hold china accountable. today china's government is punching back hard against the u.s. take a listen. >> we urge the u.s. to stop political manipulation, do their part and focus more on how to overcome the virus and boost the economy as soon as possible. >> a final point for you, we have confirmed with the intelligence community, as of now they ruled out the possibility that this virus was man-made and essentially engineered with a bio weapon inside this lab and that could change the investigation still ongoing but as of now that is a possibility that they believe more and more it was an accidental release of the virus into the general population. >> great reporting. thank you. connell: patrick has followed china for years, the asset management, i want to talk to in addition to what
