To-infinitive

thank you all very much honored to be with the prime minister of Ireland.

We've known each other now for quite a while and we have a great relationship on a great relationship with Ireland and we have a lot to discuss.

Future simple

We will be talking about the obvious and we'll also be talking about the virus.

See, they canceled their big soccer games there, championship games and a lot of other games.

They've cancelled a lot over in Europe and all over the world.

We took the original bolder step of all when we close very early with China, God helped us save thousands of lives and we went very early with Europe on duh.

I think that'll like what is be very good and hopefully we can get it back together very quickly in terms of we establishing with China that's contracted.

Something happened fairly quickly because they had made a lot of progress over the last three or four weeks and certainly with Europe we think we can go hopefully very quickly.

They have some hot spots that are really bad but they'll get him better.

France has some problems, some pretty big problems.

And Italy, of course, is probably record setting in terms of what they've gone through.

Italy is having a very hard time, but we think we'll reestablish very quickly once this ends and it's just a question of time.

I think it'll go pretty quickly, stay away from people and watch your hands and do over the things that was supposed to be doing a little bit anyway.

We're just talking that Ireland's closed their schools.

And, uh, maybe I'd ask the prime minister to say a little bit about what you're doing in Ireland having to do with what we're going.

Thank you present for having us again here today, and then I'm going up to ST Patrick's Day.

Um, just another opportunity, I think, to show how close Ireland in America are on how good our relationship is politically and economically and everything else.

And ST Patrick's Day has become, I think, a symbol of how close are learned in America are we're gonna continue to stay close into the future.

Um, big concern in Ireland and Europe at the moment, as you know, is Kobe 19 on?

We've acted just as you've acted decisively in the last couple of days.

So we have restrictions on travel, for example, at Italy for a few days already.

But as of tomorrow, our schools will close our crashes with both, Um, we're banning all indoor Gallery's off more than 100 people and for gatherings of more than 500.

This is all based on the health advice from our CDC that we need to do this for a couple of weeks to make sure the virus doesn't spread on were particularly trying to protect older people and people with chronic diseases.

We've got about 30 or 40 cases so far that we were really sir into that could rise on.

That's why we're taking action, the works.

But as you know, it's it's a virus that's gone pandemic.

I think we all need to work together in the world on this American particular.

You've got great scientists, great companies, great universities that we need them working on treatment's working on tests and working on a vaccine because that's that's what we get.
