Im merely for the last time thanks for joining the coven 900 new york is so severe that white house officials have called on anyone who has left the city to self quarantined for 2 weeks highways and streets are largely empty in one of the most densely populated cities in the u. S. The entire state of new york has been on lockdown since sunday Public HealthOfficials Say the number of cases there is doubling every 3 days state officials have been pleading for more federal help us confirmed cases top 25000 deaths surpass 200 is just one sign of the worsening situation in the United States. And for more on that we cannot talk to our washington correspondent all of us salads all about w h o on tuesday one that the u. S. Could be the next epicenter of the of the corona virus and new york has been hit especially hard what can you tell us about the situation there. Thats a very alarming situation leoni and that reflects very much the assessment of the w. H. O. And that is that the u. S. Has not been able to flatten the curve that the number of new infections has been going up dramatically in recent days weve been exposed reporting extensively about that and with regard to new york city 60 percent of all new cases in the u. S. Are counted in new york city the city is under lockdown as of sunday but in spite of that there is no improvement inside really Governor Andrew Cuomo whos becoming famous for his press conference that hes holding every day believes that within the next 2 weeks hes expecting 40000 patients needing intensive care and hes desperately looking for 40000. 00 ventilators for that matter also the clinics the hospitals the Health Care System running out of supplies as soon as next week so dramatic situation in new york city of course and therefore the w. H. O. Statement is not a big surprise here in spite of that President Trump continues to dont play the risk that the virus poses for the American Public yeah you might just mention that donald trump expressed his hope to reopen the country by easter thats in less than 3 weeks how serious is he about that. Well look at trump has always been a gambler and he still is and what hes really trying to do here is to save the u. S. Economy and thats crucial for him to be reelected because you know very well that if you keep that lockdown in place and there is currently a stay at home order in 16 u. S. States in place then that would mean that the unemployment will continue to go up the stock markets will go down further and he might eventually lose his reelection in november sole of course with all those gambles comes risk and that is that the Health System in the United States might crash eventually if the numbers of new infections continue to go up as quickly as theyve been doing but again for trump the economy is crucial therefore today at a press conference in the white tells one of the white house economic advisers on bail plans that the government would provide a total of 6 trillion u. S. Dollars in Financial Aid which of course is an on president and some showing the trump is trying to save the economy at all cost but hes also willing to take an enormous risk for that. I was on about solid reporting from washington thank you so much the 2020 tokyo summer lympics has been postponed on tuesday japanese Prime Minister shinzo abby announced that the games will be pushed back into a 2021 the decision photos months of discussion and pressure from athletes across the globe. The turkey and then picks our own. The decision came suddenly but was not unexpected after weeks of debate and speculation in order to safeguard the health of the health needs and everybody involved in the Olympic Games that we have to postpone the olympic and Paralympic Games or talk you were 2022 of the year or 2020 year one with the aim to her feet there or at the latest in summertime 21 its a decision that was not taken lightly or willingly but pressure has been mounting from athletes and sports federations its its a power moment that i will give the be no limits this year but yet you have to understand the situation understand that things are a little bigger than sport and i mean you have the next year important that they. Exist because so many athletes are not. Im not been able to. Prepare you know they havent been able to do their qualification. A magician olympic trials and so on and a lot of afflecks also dont have access to the training venue. And its not fair if everyone. Repaired the vessel right this is the 1st time the Olympic Games have been postponed and its a mammoth logistical task contracts need to be renegotiated tickets for sold out venues transferred all returned and post game sales of apartments in the Olympic Village will have to be put on hold. No new date has been set for the tokyo olympics. In india 3 weeks locked down to combat the spread of corona virus has just begun the countrys 1300000000 people are now barred from leaving their homes across the nation people have been scrambling to get home ahead of the measures taking effect the travel restrictions hit some of the countrys poorest workers heart. As well reports from the capital delhi. These people are while eating a lockdown delhi has closed its borders nor buses trains off lights can leave yet these Migrant Workers are determined to get home. Many on just a daily wage and with businesses shut they cannot afford life in the city anymore. With public transport reduced the vote has walked many kilometers with his family putting them at risk of exposure. Hes scared but he says he has no option on those they arent letting me work thats the problem i have Young Children theyre hungry who do i ask for help weve been struggling for 4 days though the. Delhi government has announced some relief measures for the poor but these workers dont feel reassured or interpret that i cannot wait to find out if the government will give me money but how am i supposed to eat until then and what if they dont. Ovi from the bus stop the city lies deserted those who cant afford to are staying home checkpoints like this one have been established across the city the police is ensuring that only those who are entering essential services are allowed to be out the government has also said that violators off the log down can face legal action. Grocery Stores Remain open some are only allowing a limited number of shoppers in this one says mosques on the cess city as a sign that ties in your hands before entering. India has been battered lies by these measures but Health Experts are throwing their weight behind the lockdown if india can fight this together for 2 weeks we definitely would have prevented the go to prom going up and made it all that we need to do is to prevent that god from going it leaving because if that happens in india the results will be much worse than what happened in. The indian Prime Minister has appealed to Migrant Workers to stay put and avoid infecting their families back home. But for many that risk is far more distant than being trapped of the from home during this lockdown. And for more on this were joined by the also of that report new research as well from our daily office the mission of the nation why lockdown has just begun is there any hope these Migrant Workers you talk to are not going to be victims of it. Well larry kings realistically do look a bit be great now the Prime Minister did announce an economic doest thou doest last at a National Level led by the finance minister were just supposed to announce a stool measureless just yesterday did they did announce daily actually and fiscal measures but as lot of the banana gonski reaching out to the people that hardest hit by this shutdown dont really have to add it to yet this did lead you to hear what exactly the National Government will do steve governments have announced measures but as mentioned in the report many locals like concern that if they really do find out how these measures can be sent if they would reach them or not it would be do need to kind of afford to react to find out exactly how they can benefit from these measures so well have to read and see how exactly the government last of each out to the list of what in these of conspiracist might also continuing a lot on which is why i asked everybody to stay indoors so how other people dealing with a lockdown. Lockdown was already in plus in some cities and states across the country starting sunday night but it was actually at midnight this morning basically that the lockdown was and was across the country so while people are largely responding to the lockdown they have stayed in battle because of cause of the Prime Minister but many are still turning out to feel essential services that also concerns that the police is going to harsh even on essential services and its this knock down so people are taking this into their stride somewhat but its still early days of evil again after a week to see how well the continual biting that this in the be is to come that is definitely one months headaches whatsoever so this is the right step for to get to and we mean just to have some success in flattening the. Emitters as well from a daily office thank you.

Science on is much higher and to get out of this work where you have to walk from one meeting room to a not knowing where you can walk to the contemporary art or have a brick as a watercooler all the coffee machine thats all no longer possible all right so you also have for yourself you might have more time a clock then youre saying i mean looking at the fact that millions of people are now in their home offices essentially what if you found i mean how does this change the way we work are we more productive are we less productive at home. Well in some cases in 2 paths in some cases we dont walk productive because now we cant exactly see what the other colleague was talking about because we have power point slides Crystal Clear all the key you know its Crystal Clear on the screen not 8 meters away got going through and thats an advantage but on the other hand what we are focusing on in our research is that creative and knowledge intensive process is in it isnt isness they need the new ness of people that cant work in the same men are online and in digital meeting rooms and therefore we are missing something so we to the day we had with my research us virtual lunch break where everybody said in front of his camera and ate something and trying something and thats a lot of the same if you cannot achieve the Knowledge Transfer between video screens you need the near miss off persons and right in some all the noise intense processes we have 75 percent of Knowledge Transfer out i socialize ation by personal meeting between persons and no but you know what all of this is all for how do you think this will fundamentally change the way that we work will more people stay with working from home permanently.

Our social Media Editors will be reporting weekly and we want to know how you are coping with working from home were all new to this crazy mind boggling situation despite these notes of influenza were unchartered territory all life as we know it is changing. But were all in this together in this new series we want to find out how to handle on new lives in times of the current a pandemic thankfully with the help of a leading expert it seems like theres been a very popular study how do we stay mentally and physically healthy how do we have no family and all partners without driving into a completely insane. Bust up how to deal with cabin fever. Me how are you dealing with being cooped up let me know leave a comment and id love to profit from your experiences for our upcoming episode. Well we asked you to send us some of your questions on the kobe 1000 pandemic and many of you did get in touch our science correspondent Dirk Williams has some answers take a look. Why did you come from. To the best of our knowledge the 1st cases of coke at 19 appeared in the chinese city who hahn back in december of 2019 they were closely associated with the wildlife market they are now coronaviruses can jump from animals to humans and we think that thats what happened here at the sars virus that the same back in 2000 here in 2003 it was traced back to bats the civets sold in wildlife markets we dont yet know what animals might have acted as intermediaries here but we have seen very similar coronaviruses and bats and we think that they are the ultimate reservoir in the wild. How does it spread. That 19 is a pretty infectious respiratory disease that spread by droplets of saliva or discharge from the nervous someone when they cough or sneeze thats why its important to stay at least a metre away and preferably farther from anyone whos coughing or sneezing it doesnt stay airborne for very long we dont think but it can remain infectious after landing on surfaces which is why you also need to Pay Attention to how often you wash your hands and you should try not to touch your face as much as possible. How do i know if im if i get it. We only way to know for sure if you have copd at 19 has to take a test because many of the symptoms are similar to those people experience when they have other respiratory ailments like the flu in covert 19 the primary symptoms that people have reported are fever dry cough and fatigue and then to a lesser extent things like congestion a sore throat or diarrhea some people who catch the disease dont have any symptoms at all their pain. Symptomatic around 4 in 5 people who get it will recover from the disease without any special treatment or having to go to the hospital. What can i do if im in fact it. Because this virus is a novel one in humans no one has any immunity the 1st time they catch it even if someone doesnt show any symptoms they still go in fact it and can in fact others we dont yet have any specific vaccines to prevent covert 19 and we dont have any medications to treat it so at this point if you are infected theres no way to interrupt the course of the disease the best thing to do if youre infected is a talk with your local medical authorities and follow their advice if you arent in a High Risk Group for the disease the chances are very good youll return to full health within a couple of weeks. If i thought it was going i catch it again in the future. Because this is a new virus free stilt of know much about how the immune system well reacts to subsequent infections with copd at 19. Doctors assume that catching at will give you some kind of immunity but a big question is exactly how long that immunity well last hour immunity levels to related coronaviruses like some that cause common colds are not permanent and we dont really know why the question of immunity is a question that really only time will answer. A news team that the austrian public broadcaster o. R. F. Will go into voluntary isolation to prevent any of them from becoming infected now theyll be isolated on site in vienna theyve all tested negative for the virus and no one will be allowed in the door will be guarded and food will be delivered these 180 employees will guarantee that new Services Continue to run an interrupted a war f. Is not the only Austrian Company to seal off key chains of staff last week around 50 healthy employees from the main Energy Company were isolated within certain power stations to make sure that the Electricity Supply would not be affected.
