road ahead for other nations facing
Coronas deadly wave and james joins us
now james we've been so focused on Italy
but cases in Spain are now exploding as
well that's right Lindsay is now the
second hardest hit country in Europe
after Italy today we heard 294 more
deaths in the last 24 hours bring the
total in Spain to 803 and shockingly
today one official was quoted as saying
that he believes that Madrid could see
an 80 percent infection rate of
coronavirus in the city that as the
capital of Spain that is quite
extraordinary when you think about it so
in
lockdown is in place like the one we've
seen in Italy actually the Spanish
authorities are using drones to try to
make sure that people stay out of public
spaces all public spaces have basically
been closed down all shops libraries
university everything is shut in order
to stop this thing from spreading Spain
also faces a number of challenges like
other European countries do namely its
population is on the older side like
here in the United Kingdom like in Italy
and elderly population very much in
danger also austerity across Europe bit
hard particularly on the health system
in Spain so that is a challenge for them
and the way that the health system is
structured in Italy it's very much
regionalised so it's going to be very
difficult for them to get a picture of
just how much this virus is spreading
and how to combat it a lot of challenges
ahead for Spain James thank you for the
