To find the formula for immunity against the virus but its an expensive and difficult process. Brazils amazon rain Forest Region has become the latest frontline in the battle against the corona virus infections there are rising quickly leaving hospitals and Emergency Responders overwhelmed in the city of mine else mass burials have become commonplace its a region where illegal loggers and gold miners regularly trespass into protect today areas and theres fear the outbreak could wipe out indigenous communities thats prompted the citys mayor to issue a plea. Needing help we have to save the lives of those of the forest from one of each. A disaster. Like barbara raised. In direct contrast brazils president jetta both are not always continuing to play down the pandemic even as the number of cases surges past 8100000 the outbreak has claimed to 7000 brazilian lives making it latin americas hardest hit country but at a rally in the capital on sunday again described it as just a little flu he says social distancing restrictions are deadlier than the virus itself. Such a responsible job destruction by some governors and acceptable the price is too high up front hunger and employment misery thats not good for the country so im carries a brazil based journalist whos joining us now from sao paulo thanks very much indeed for being with us explain to us 1st of all sam why the Indigenous People in this region are so vulnerable to the virus. Well Indigenous People in Amazonas States. Mostly because of the size of the state the state seems like 5 as high as 5 times the size of germany. Which is on the border we had colombia and venezuela that you know a st i try it from the capital but now send in the capital now so what we saw the man just now has with the vox majority of the intensive care unit babies all in the whole of the state basically so the point is that it coronavirus rishi is some of these far flung indigenous villages inside of Amazonas States its going to be devastated see because these people that know who the health care is extremely precarious locally. These people are leaving communities with social distancing is very difficult and apart from that Indigenous People in brazil they had that it is a very dark history of brazil of indigenous genocide and inside tribes you know almost being wiped out because of diseases brought by nonIndigenous People such as flu and measles especially most recently during brazils military dictatorship so because of that weve seen indigenous groups across brazil barricading that villages blocking roads and you know trying to really. Quarantine as much as possible to stop this virus from entering their villages the fingers being pointed at illegal gold miners and loggers but of course the villagers themselves also travel the medical teams who are there to help the villagers what evidence is there that it is actually the gold miners in the loggers or responsible for this. Well with one of the 1st and probably the most high profile. Indigenous death because of code that 19 was only get a mommy result of thats on the border with venezuela or it is in between amazon as a rule of states and this was like a 15 year old yet a mommy youth who died all 19 infection and the enemy reserve is absolutely overrun by illegal gold mine is has long been a hot spot for at and soon tolerated by legal goldmine as in recent years weve seen a new influx of illegal gold mine is that basically because state surveillance and environmental policing in brazil had the rates of drop to recent years especially under president bolsa morrow. And the village where the boy lived is really on the route of where the illegal gold mine is inside of the reserve in this presumes biggest reserve of its like twice the size of switzerland and because of this yani get a mommy use day get a mommy leaders have cooled of a hole in the Brazilian Army the federal police and the environments with force and agencies to really move and get rid of all these thousands of illegal what is an estimated 20000. 00 illegal gold mine is inside of this reserve and its widely expected and widely understood that the corona virus was brought inside of the reserve by. Just go in and out basically without any control there is a list of celebrities have put together an open letter to both the novel basically saying the warning against the threat is being faced by the indigenous communities but given the fact that weve got a president who is quite openly denying that there is a is any perceived threat from the virus what kind of leverage can you have in that circumstance. Well we dont want to be too pessimistic here but i mean quite frankly right now miss the bosn always fighting for his political survival who might be a. Fight for his political survival but hes definitely on the ropes since his Justice Minister mauro quits last week accusing the president of trying to interfere with the countrys Bedroom Police this is also a president whose government has worked endlessly to reduce environmental protections and beaches protections a person thats been openly hostile to Indigenous People saying that they have too much land of their land size should be reduced and saying that you know a president thats been accused of by environmentalists over encouraging illegal gold white is going to Indigenous Lands because he wants to. He wants to pass a bill that would allow mining on Indigenous Lands so when you consider all of these things together its basically the perfect storm all the precarious Health Systems. Environments were in for splints and feet and encouraged by the president who is fighting for his own political survival right now these going to go might is feeling encouraged by the president or this is basically a perfect storm for an extremely dangerous and deadly situation for Indigenous People in brazil during this code that 19 pandemic we appreciate you giving us that update some khali is a brazil based journalist thanks very much indeed sam thank you rob.

Your office of the d. N. I. Says the consensus the Scientific Consensus was not manmade or genetically modified. Thats right i grieve that ive said ive seen their analysis ive seen the summary that you saw that was released publicly i have no reason to doubt that that is accurate the us secretary of state without providing evidence arguing the virus came from a chinese lab that wasnt created by its scientists but the country weeks into quarantine tries to come to terms with what comes next and at what cost paddy calling al jazeera.

The world is desperate for a vaccine against covert 19 and the race is on to find one developed in many countries i think the largest number in the u. S. Staple of by china market is a professor of vaccine epidemiology at the London School of hygiene and tropical medicine theyre keeping an up to date database of all the vaccines being worked on there are over 100. 00 bad news is that they usually break the develop the back seat is a problem that initial discovery who actually having a back seat to be given on a population level is usually about 10 to 20 years. But the urgency now means teams all over the world are trying to speed up the process we work day and night and follow. Probably 1000 people im a person. We have 3. People 3 working groups and 24 hours several are at the stage of human testing including this trial that Oxford University were told there is never been a vaccine against a corona virus brought for approval that the success rate of vaccine trials are between 5 to 10 percent even once there is a vaccine it will take quite some time before there is enough to vaccinate entire populations and while we wait there are questions about Natural Immunity it is still not clear whether we can develop long lasting immunity to the virus we have never been here before. That has changed everyones life if you know bringing so many people to be sick to be in hospital dying its wrecked the entire economy is this is the back to. The world is desperate to have for once the world is largely united in the desire to be able to visit and hug our families to walk the streets to feel the restaurants to travel and for so many to be able to work again to return to a life most of us took for granted our once buzzing news room here in doha has nearly full and silent with most people working from home its a similar picture in many places across the world now despite so many vaccines being in the works its going to take quite some time before one is available to all of us and that means that partial lockdowns and social distancing could remain part of our lives for a very long time Stephanie Decker at aljazeera headquarters in doha.
