Job description. Behind prison walls with time on their hands how these inmates are preaching in. A corner of others. That these kids would rather not be. Made up of olsons from the philippines is drugs war. Welcome to. Its good to have you with us south korea has the 4th largest number of people in the world affected by the cone of otters but it also has one of the lowest death rates with more than 7000 700. 00 this is the number of dead is around 60 people a death rate of point 77 percent as compared to a global average of 3. 4 percent each of that has been a 3 pronged approach involving open information Public Participation and widespread testing but at the heart of this response is south koreas medical workers the frontline medical workers those working in hospitals Testing Centers medical facilities even im going to frank smyth reports from seoul. On these and what drives them to face a bios thats mostly a mystery to medical science. Paramedics in south korea are answering some tough calls and battling the coronavirus for each prospective covert 19 emergency like this one they take time to put on high level protective gear and only one paramedic attends to possible patients to safeguard the team paramedic and is ready for what comes watching for the telltale symptoms of corona virus. High fever and coughing. 1000. 00 calls are difficult to respond to because we still dont have a clear idea of how to distinguish an actual case from a false alarm even if a person hasnt traveled overseas but is running a fever we still have to assume the worst because theres an outbreak in the community. 3 hospitals in seoul have suffered clusters of the outbreak closing their Emergency Rooms other hospitals are at times unavailable because theyre overcrowded when transporting possible coronavirus patients ambulances in seoul sometimes travel long distances so 3 a c. D. C. And Emergency Command Center route paramedics to designated hospitals with space in trio in a negative pressure isolation room which has special ventilation to prevent the spread of the virus. After each call the ambulances are thoroughly disinfected in their interiors sealed to ensure they are virus free. And if i ever get infected im confident that i would eventually recover given my young age. But i live with my parents and they are older so im most worried that i might pass that on to them and there are no guarantees that they could receive the treatment they need in a timely manner because Emergency Services are so overstretched right now that. The medics at the Ambulance Center are required to live in isolation eating alone at separate times and maintaining social distancing still team members say that morale has remained good. Throughout all mine you do get we work in a field the fabulous teamwork of buffel now so putting in an extra shift and going out in another cold is simply a part of our job description. If they needed a supporting allowance we simply kept our head down and work hot instead of fretting about it all that im sure going into. It looks like there will be no let up in work. On has just been dispatched for a week with more than a dozen colleagues to dig the epicenter of south koreas coronavirus outbreak. Daigle is south koreas 3rd largest city and accounts for the large majority of corona virus cases in south korea a number of patients have been housed here at the kind younger diversity dongs on hospital this is in addition to at least 2 apartment blocks that have been quarantined after residents that tested positive for the virus but daigle to spawns isnt only character dies by hospital treatment and quarantine alone a reporter posted this video of the streets of the city being disinfected by city authorities banners on the trucks that are saying stay strong daigle and on twitter praise for south koreas Coronavirus Response particularly mass testing south korea has such high numbers of confirmed corona virus cases because it is willing to test in massive numbers and because the people are not afraid that a test or subsequent treatment when literally brand bankrupt them for life more than 178000 people have been tested here that tweet from an american journalist that number is now out of date over 220000 have been tested as of wednesday around 10000 tests are being carried out per day in south korea. But for a lot of these tests to happen medical workers need to be wearing face masks and that is a commodity in short supply worldwide the World Health Organization says that the supply of face masks needs to be increased globally so at least 89000000. 00 are available each month this in the middle of export bans that many countries and territories have instituted to prevent shortages one of these territories is taiwan where authorities have been to a captive workforce to replenish stocks. These men usually make prison uniforms but since the spread of the coronavirus to taiwan the inmates here have put their sewing skills to use for the public good. While most important of the time were making up 2 kinds of face masks the one that is a cloth face mask like the one im wearing now. And the other is a face mask protector which can extend the use a lot of the medical facemask thought. As with many other places in taiwan fears of the virus prompted panic buying of surgical masks the government rations soon followed but many complain the limit of 3 masks per person per week is insufficient since last month the inmates have produced more than 50000 masks to help cover the shortfall. Fold i and repeat its a monotonous job that these men have time on their hands and a lot on their minds. Were hurtful when my family came to see me they said it was very difficult to buy face masks out there and i said to them that he is making face masks here and maybe you will have the benefit of using one of them every time i was selling the face masks or i was thinking to myself that this could bring some security to my family. That the other one. Misty you whos just 10 years into a 23 year sentence says the benefits of the scheme go beyond public health. Or heart health out of boredom the sense of affirmation with this little face mask that not only lets us contribute to society we put it also gives us selfesteem talking about it. From the inside helping out their time spent at the sewing machine could make a difference and help the Wider Community in the fight against corona.
