financial correspondent in new york is yen's quarter yes how has that declaration by the world health organization gone down. well maybe not as you would expect. the old did to clear global urgency but on the other side the world health organization does not see any reason at least for now to really call for global restrictions on trade and travel and i guess that was the main reason why we saw a clear turnaround here on wall street to blue chips traded lower at some point by more than 200 points 'd by the the end of the 13 or the market actually gained a good 120 points or roughly a half a percent the show is basically telling companies whoa whoa whoa don't be too drastic but a lot of american firms have already taken some drastic action haven't they. yes certainly and about a 3rd of the u.s. corporations report earnings in those days mention the coronavirus one way or the other. is for example the manufacturer on thursday was saying that the koran of either is doesn't pick business that at least temporarily they have to have to shut down to affect the reason china but the stock overall actually

lawrence gostin is the director of the world health organization collaborating center on national andl health law. it's utterly unprecedented in the history of the world to confine more than 50 million people. it could only happen in china. and i think it could end up being very counter—productive, because as story indicated, are stuck there. there's fear, panic, uncertainty. they are literally trapped in a zone of contagion, and they're going to infect one another and eventually they will leave. so i think the first rule of public health is to gain the trust and the cooperation of a population, and this is just the wrong way to do it. so given that this is more infectious, this coronavirus is more infectious than sars, what should people in these areas be doing? what should the chinese government be advising? the chinese government should first of all be in the community, in households in community venues, doing testing, screening, treatment and trying to find out who is exposed, what's called contact tracing. that's how we brought sars and mers under control, and indeed how we broug

health and safety end reports any outbreaks we will maintain close communication with the world health organization relevant countries and regions including hong kong and taiwan we also believe that the emergency committee at the world health organization will base their findings about the outbreak on truth science and pass yellow reasonable analysis and sound judgment peter j. hotez says from the baylor college of medicine says the preventative measures should have been taken after the sars outbreak. the best way to contain a virus is to have a vaccine readily available and to vaccinate the population and unfortunately the world did not respond after the sars vaccine to have those vaccines in place and we could talk more about that but you know for now i think what we're seeing with the chinese leadership is and a reaction maybe an overreaction to what happened in 2003 when the stars coronavirus erupted in spread across china create a global panic affected asian markets and other markets and really shut down the city of toronto after was exported there in the chinese leadership was heavily critici

thanks for joining us now the world health organization has now officially declared a global health emergency what does that mean for the worldwide containment efforts . that means that governments around the world with the means and resources and expertise will get together and ensure that those parts of the planet that haven't got the resources necessary to look after transmission and patients will be supplied with the necessary materials guidance and support will that extend to the vaccine because i mean we do know at this stage i mean there's no vaccine do we know any more about research efforts how long how far along scientists are whether this global health emergency well will help that along. yes. look vaccine necessary a vaccine is the best possible solution for any kind of outbreak if you can trust to what's happening with flu we know the disease so well that every year we can generate a new vaccine within a matter of months with coronavirus however the situation is very different we don't have the necessary expertise or knowledge on the biology of this virus what it does to our bodi

paul: the world health organization making that emergency declaration earlier today. did take so long to get to that point and what does it mean in practical terms? not a publicam health expert in terms of epidemiology. that this is a gigantic problem. i would point to the fact that it is flu season in the u.s., one of the worst in 10 decades. we saw some published data, there were 8000 deaths today and 40,000 hospitalizations. asis inpens on a record the u.s.. we have novel viruses that come and vaccines, which is my area, is a very appropriate way to respond to these problems. you think about developing a vaccine on this, today the cdc confirmed the first person to person contraction of the virus. what information does that give you as you work on a potential vaccine? dr. glenn: i think we are a vaccine company, we are local, but think globally. the u.s. is certainly an important priority, but we know that this is transmissible and does not respect borders. again, very much like the flu every year, as a company, we are accustomed to thinking how to address this probl

and tonight, it's emerged that the director general of the world health organization is on his way to the outbreak. well, larry brilliant is the chair of the organisation ending pandemics, and was part of world health organization team that eradicated smallpox. he was also an advisor on the film contagion which depicted a virus spreading from china around the globe. hejoin me from his homejust outside of san francisco. welcome to the programme. thank you for having me. what is your assessment of what has happened so far? everyone watching this must be so far? everyone watching this must be so grateful that the learned lessons from the sars outbreak in 2002—2003. it wasn't handled as well. it took longer to find out information. they are behaving energetically and actively. over 90% of the cases and almost all of the deaths have been in china involving chinese people. it must be very difficult, this full moon festival is like christmas. they are cancelling it, for all intents and purposes, to quarantine upwards of 13 million people. it's the right thing to do, but the world should look

and we'll do our job as long as we wear the uniform despite the rising number of cases the world health organization has not declared a global health emergency and the question was whether these event constituents of public of emergency of international concern. the advice to d.g. which is provided by the emergency committee is that. on thursday china announced the transport links to the cities of one gun and joe would also be cut and the fear of contagion has produced dramatic scenes like here at fuzhou airport where a man suspected of carrying the virus was confined to a quarantine container. the outbreak comes as millions of people are all the move to visit friends and family for the lunar new year it's one of the biggest annual migrations in the world the government has canceled many festivities in an effort to contain the virus and joining me tonight is muhammad. at lancaster university in england it's good to see you again doctor the world health organization as you know says that this new strain of the virus is not yet a global health emergency but what does that mean and what does it tell us

are alarming words coming from hong kong and they appear to in a sense contradict what the world health organization has been saying because the world health organization so far hasn't felt compelled to declare an international public health alert the experts in hong kong are saying that draconian measures will be needed not just by hong kong's government and china's government but by other governments around the world in the case of hong kong for instance you know one has think about things like food imports it everything it eats just about is imported much of it coming from the mainland so his message was you know unless there is good planning unless we heed the warnings then you know we could be facing a global pandemic epidemic in his words and what is hong kong doing in terms of planning how is it trying to contain the virus. well so far the chief executive carrie lamb has said she will not be closing even temporarily the front here between hong kong and china she said that simply wouldn't work it was impractical in her words so what is happening now is that anyone arriving in hong kong from he

more dangerous because it can be transmitted even before the onset of symptoms to know the world health organization is meeting today is looking at this being a global health emergency if if it is what steps in the w.h.o. take. you know that they can take a more current cordon and not of way to to for all the states you know we've seen current time in. the court of time in china they can they can order current tide and other states they can cross close borders they can restrict international travel it's done from different ways from different states but they can do it in a more coordinated way than ok are quarantines the best way to get the situation under control closing borders that kind of thing. to add to his strict the travel and to avoid infected people are travelling from one point to another survivor effective measurement of course. and those countries who took their people from from one to their home countries they also do these current measurements and hopefully this will be effective to it to avoid the spread in other countries that were not interest or not. sorry sorry about that we have
