the world health organisation has issued a stark warning to countries in south east asia, urging themon to stop the virus infecting more people. 0ur correspondent in bangkok, jonathan head, says that might have had an impact on the response there. although the first case was recorded in thailand on the 13th of fabry, the number has crept up slowly. that february. in some countries, they were just not doing any testing and there was severe infections we re there was severe infections were not being recorded. in china, they have been efficient. they have been recording numbers and testing and the number has crept up. that has all changed in the last few days. people were beginning to think warmer weather was a reason the virus was not spreading as quickly as in europe and the us but the numbers are creeping up fast, particularly in malaysia whether 650 and more confirmed cases. i was that three weeks ago and the number was 28. a dramatic rise. the trajectory is very steep, following other countries. in countries with large populations like indonesia where little has been done to try and

numbers of people that we've seen affected both in this country and other countries in europe and south—east asialy that we will see in due course widespread transmission in the uk. what we don't know is exactly how widespread that will be. of course, all of our efforts at the moment are still to identifying anybody who's got the illness, identifying their contacts and isolating them. and then doing all we can to reduce the spread of infection. that's important because what that will do is reduce the intensity of infection, so the challenges we may inevitably face with this will be reduced as far as we are able to reduce them. i wouldn't say anything is inevitable but it is highly likely. the point of that is that we have to be prepared for a range of different eventualities. it's unclear, if you look at the experience in other countries, some countries do appear to have managed to get this a little bit more under control. we've seen the numbers coming down in china but other countries are struggling more and are seeing increasing numbers. that's why we must be prepared. that's the head of public

one thing that i think is really powerful about learning about south east asia and american history is, it reminds us that asian americans are not a monolithic minority. there are a variety of different backgrounds, experiences that shaped their migration to the u.s. in the ways that they are able to thrive in the united states. what is amazing to see is how much upward mobility has been accomplished by a lot of these refugees within the span of a generation. i once interviewed a meng woman of how she gave birth by the side of a river. she could not swim across that river because she had just given birth and the baby whistle small. but as soon as she was able, she did, and her husband carried one child on his shoulder, and she carried the newborn baby. they swam across the river as troops were shooting at them. i asked after she told the story, what happened to that maybe that you carry? she said oh, she is a law student at uc berkeley now. i think it is really powerful to remember how much struggle some of these asian refugees have experienced due to war, due to upheaval, dislocation,

and therefore, a lot of countries have profited around south and east asia but also some of the productione been moved back closer to the -- in some cases in terms of the u.s. production, for instance. but, obviously, we can't speculate what is going to over, once this is all but what we can certainly say is the life that we knew until early 2020 is probably not going to resume back to normal as it once was. so, even if we see some sort of greater integration in the present a sense of globalization, it's probably going to be affected ina large way by some of these developments. haslinda: appreciate your insights. gorana grgic lecturer in u.s. politics at the university of sydney. how the world's biggest lockdown sees india stocks go from they are expensive to extremely cheap in one fell swoop. this is bloomberg. ♪ let's do a quick check of the latest business headlines. haslinda: is said to be in talks to raise a new $5 billion loan with a majority of two e years. several companies are asking for additional liquidity. honeywell tells bloomberg it still has access to the commercial paper ma

first of all, with a stroke of luck, the places where we do most of our work in the middle east, some in south asia as well, they've been spared so far relatively speaking. second, things could easily go very, very bad indeed, very quickly. if you think about the spread where there are health systems and advanced public health information, where there are extensive, easy to access hygiene efforts, just think of the speed of spread among populations where those things that exist, where there is public health, where the idea of when you put -- 14, the idea of quarantine is absurd in any kind of mass movement of people in here, one every 105 people on te planet have been displaced by war and conflict. maybe 60% in urban areas. your fear for refugees, you're absolutely right to draw attention to it. scrambling to figure out the impact on these programs, if you think about the health programs will be weakened, the danger of an outbreak amongst our clients. so if you want to get more depressed, you have to think about the spread of coronavirus amongst those populations that we help and that is certainly

but the really interesting cases are free societies of east asia, taiwan, south korea also the somewhat cases of hong kong and singapore. and all those countries or city states, the response has been much more successful than in any western country, to the extent that really, the covid-19 pandemic has been cleaned in those countries. taiwan is right next to the people's republic of china it's a democracy. there has been one fatality in taiwan since this outbreak began. so they are clearly doing things right that we have been doing wrong in most western democracies. >> is it -- one of the points that i thought was interesting that you made was in some ways, we have -- we're too libertarian. we have too much freedom here, that one of the reasons why taiwan and south korea had some successes, they were able to digitally track things quicker and better, and we just don't -- we don't legally have that ability here. >> well, you'll never get me to say something on air against individual freedom. >> i know. >> but i think the key here is two big things. number one, the experience of sars seare

expected up toward the north, but then we have a cold front that is coming out of asia, and as that moves to the south and east, we're going to see a change. we're going to see much cooler temperatures for the weekend, and have the umbrellas nearby because you're going to also want them because we are talking about some wet weather as we head toward the weekend. here say look at the three-day forecast, sapporo, wet on friday. down to 3 for the high on saturday and sunday. tokyo and osaka and fukuoka, rain comes in and the colder temperatures, we're talking about highs in the low teens as we go into saturday and sunday. so maybe almost close to a taste of late winter in terms of the daytime high temperatures, be on the lookout for that. we are seeing some rain develop back toward the west. we have a stationary front that is going to be moving east out of china. so as it does so, we're going to be dealing with some rain into places like shahanghai becauses is going to be on the wet side. cold front to the north not only bringing rainn to jajapan, but o seeing showers developing into places like -- we're dealing

stroke of luck, the places where we do most of our work across africa and the middle east, some are saying in south asia as well, mercifully have been relatively speaking spared so far and this is worth being aware of that. secondly, things could easily go very, very, very, very bad indeed, very quickly. because if you think about the spread, the rate of spread in societies where there are advanced health systems, where there is advanced public health information, where there are extensive, where it is easy to access hygiene measures, just think of the speed of spread amongst populations where those things don't exist, where there suspect the public health infrastructure, where the idea of, it's gone out of my mind, when you put, quarantine, where the idea of quarantine is absurd, in any kind of mass movement of people, whether idps or refugees, and here, it's worth going back to that statistic. one in every 105 people in the planet has been displaced by war and conflict at the moment. 13 million in refugee and asylum seekers. 40 million internally displaced and maybe 60% of them are in the northern are

environmental variation that is people, forget about east asia and europe and africa, just in the netherlands there are different frequencies on the north-south and east west access. you can probably just as we talked about predicting people self identified race here with 98 percent accuracy based on dna, in the netherlands you can probably locate people in which region of the netherlands they are in pretty darn well with their dna as well but that means the smaller frequency differences are associated with different environmental associations as well. even in the wisconsin longitudinal study he could think of one state in the united states, one 1958, the graduating class of 1958, yet you can see through the genetics you can separate people geographically, this population structure means we are not picking up your genetic effects we are also sweeping up environmental differences. the greater the differences in the populations like even far western europeans and eastern europeans let alone asians and europeans, you are necessarily also sweeping up much more differences in environment, history, culture and so forth. there is a cofounder we are
