Down blues people around the world stuck at home turning to music and anything else they can think of to try and fill the endless out. Im filled gal welcome to the program more than a 1000000 people around the world how to now have confirmed corona virus infections and 50000 dead here are some of the latest developments in this pandemic the United States has registered the worlds highest davey cove in 1000. 00 death toll 1st day saw 1169. 00 confirmed deaths from virus related causes singapore will close schools on most workplaces for a month starting april the 7th the measure comes after a surge in new virus cases and germany now has more than 80000 confirmed cases of more than 1900 deaths as the head of the countrys Disease Control agency says deaths are likely to have been undercounted. Well one country with a rather stiffly low infection rate so far as india which has 2500. 00 confirmed cases out of a population of 1300000000. 00 last week the country introduced a nation wide lockdown to stand the spread of the virus in a video Message Broadcast on friday Prime Minister Narendra Modi tried to balls to morocco urging people to light candles for 9 minutes on sunday night. Joins us from the indian capital welcome did mr modi speech include any concrete Public Health protection measures. The shots is no Prime Minister school about the need not to get despondent in isolation and going to continue to think this might have the discussion we occupy in this fight cant agree on how does because were not in a speech already to this is actually in india and often questions about why have there been no concrete measures announced and even if you know what measures why is there not more information about in yesterday just might what is happening about death what is happening. Protective equipment what is happening about one goal is jenin to calm down because it was knocked down so why is the Prime Minister and congress indians just stay strong and that is all i want to isolate theres also heavy criticism but his message well the country is 3 week lockdown has been hard for millions of Migrant Workers whats their situation more than a. Michael initially thousands fled. To get it not. In the city anymore because they did not have to do many will depend heavily on duty religious but most of the week in acton was dead last there was no we hind needy people have stopped i would only be standing on 10 days but now the bluesy march onto the streets now that im out of so despite the fact that each state measures to ensure that these people stay in and sometimes these are measured there is this physical violence theres this attack. So we went talk to find out what exactly people are doing how exactly migrants how have been trying in the city now that the exodus i still dont know how exactly are these people managing to stay away. Waiting. Sometimes for hours at the end. This is what every day looks like now for these daily wage workers. Social distancing boxes seen meaningless in the face of hunger. At the end of this particular way it to oranges none of these men are originally from delhi they migrated to the capital from villages in neighboring states looking to own a livelihood. Some work in small restaurants others at construction sites everyone meaning depends on the days awnings but with businesses closed for indias 3 week lockdown these awnings and the meals have dried up now didnt try to go home but all the bus stations were closed the police told us to stay here. But there are no medical Services Available here and were not allowed to leave we will have to call an ambulance who are supposed to let us go. Yet with food at hand these men are the lucky ones. The government is so why even paul would have hundreds of shelters like this one yet the demand far outstrips the supply in addition many are physically unable to be sent does because of the lockdown this is where Civil Society is stepping in boone an ngo that has worked on Disaster Relief during floods and earthquakes. Is now adapting to a different challenge to a disaster that cannot be seen but that is everywhere. This time fall fewer aid workers are being called in to maintain social distancing and theyre taking up tasks they have never had before relief work especially in the midst of a lockdown is the governments responsibility. But workers here believe there is no time to assign blame lives are at stake and not just because of the good or no iris because goodman the government was not for the they are making an effort but theres a gap we all need to Work Together this is not an issue of survival of this sort of i will go to her. But even as these groups work tirelessly to provide protection and food to the citys poorest. The fight for survival promises to be a long one crowding together shelter social distancing is a luxury these men cannot afford but for now at least that is food to eat. Tuna fish or just well what are indias next steps then in fighting the. Most of them not all and. The government even says. This is not. The final decision yet steve is just off the back to. Back on the emotions of the population they are also need to know more about wrapping up testing isolation and treatment and of course the fact that india is not just dealing with a Health Crisis but a crisis of hunger is what were talking to you thank you for thats an image of just well and. That is take a look at some more ways it covered 19 is impacting the world will start in brazil where the iconic maracana sports stadium is being turned into a 400 bed Field Hospital for corona virus patients one of 8 Temperature Services being set up across Rio De Janeiro state is the countrys 2nd worst hit recording 18 deaths. Place in france have been stopping cars leaving paris to check but people are not going on holiday with origins of warned residents to cancel any travel plans for the School Holidays which begin this weekend one man has been has been jailed for repeatedly violating lockdown rules. And german chancellor Angela Merkel has entered herself quarantined and is back in her office after several negative coronavirus tests the chance they went into quarantine 2 weeks ago after being close proximity to a doctor who later tested positive for coke at 19 well as fear infections and lockdowns move around the world have weve been asking some of the ws network of correspondents to give us an insight into how the pandemic is changing daily life. Deserted streets empty restaurants closed shops in the u. S. Capitol to stop the spread of the virus more and more states are ordering their residents to stay at home but not everyone complies if you days ago police in neighboring maryland interrupted a Church Service where 50 people gathered and none of them were social distancing the oh thirtys can only help that such attitudes will change soon as people understand whats at stake staying at home is challenging for everybody these days but now imagine staying at home if you live in a shack no one room shack with a lot of people at a very crowded space this is the reality for millions of South Africans and although the lockdown rules off the 3 week locked on extremely strict many people simply not able to comply when you talk to koreans dont get the sense that people are really putting the certainly hasnt been the kind of runs until the paper pasta that weve seen in many countries you can even still find mosques like these in so pharmacies even though they are now selling for about 3 times. Since one place that is on this empty square is the hotel behind me now home to about 100. 00 gradients in fact which police sure about 50 of them are now reported to have left illegally and now face fines of up to 400 euros to the emergency law has been extended here in the parliament behind me for an indefinite time so Prime Minister viktor orban can no rule by decree some hunger ins are concerned that these Emergency Powers could be abused but hung juries are more concerned about whether the Health Care System will be able to cope and maybe also about the quality of the advice given by authorities these approaching than old told. To clean this with bleach before cooking and eating extraordinary times indeed its. An official votes reports scientists around the world are searching for ways to stop the spread of covered 19 now and woman in new york who recently be covered from the disease has donated have blood plasma by be used to help of patients fight the virus the technique proved successful against previous pandemics. Tiffany pickney has been to the brink and back the mother of 2 recently came out on top in a battle with covert 19. I remember being on my bathroom floor quiet and crying and saying god i need you to heal me from this no shes donating her blood plasma in the hope it can heal others it is definitely overwhelming to know where in my blood there may be answers doctors believe the answers may lie in antibodies her immune system generated to attack the virus and they want to help others fight the disease the technique was successful during the 1918 spanish flu pandemic. We just hope it works we want to do the right thing for our patients and we dont want to just stand there are we by watching this scene where were coming out of us we want to do something and hopefully itll be something which causes some good another term for this is passive immunization so this is a way to make somebody. To iris for short period of time and was used before they were back. With the wait for a vaccine likely to be more than a year away tiffany want others to follow her example i would definitely recommend both individuals to get we tested to ensure that they are in fact maybe negative. To donate their plasma because it could potentially help and save hundreds and thousands of lives you know shes free to leave her new york home again show step out into a different city to the one she knew before perhaps no shell be among those helping to fill it with life again. But with most of us forced to stay indoors on the way from our friends and family social media is helping to fill the void of videos and names become sources of smiles joining the crisis so lets take a look at how some people have been showing their creative sides. This music is the medicine of the mind crane a virus has its own version right. For some home office means blowing off some steam. For those getting a bit more restless. How about some sports. No equipment can just improvise. Even if the goods are in short supply. Weve seen disappearing cars. Not to mention disappearing parents. Some just want to ride off into the distance. Others have been sharing their time for state attempts at home a facemasks state forget our canine companions im to fail just posse. Its. Just hard to remind you of our top story germany is called the 19th death toll has climbed to the thousands that moved the 80000 patients the top health at spurs as well that cope with 19 deaths have probably been undercounted didnt specify whether given in germany or around. Thats a chill up today at the top of the hour well. Update in just moments that theres always a website full. Of good. Combating the corona pandemic. Where does research stand. What are scientists learning. Background information and. Our corona up to. 19 special next on d w. How does a virus spread. And. Through. Time. And. Show is called spectrum if you would like any information on the coronavirus or any other science topic you should really check out our podcast wherever you get your podcast you can also find us. Science. Orders now. Really silver is the weapon against corona virus. Corona virus and has been able to eliminate it within 12 hours. Jim back to this televangelist has now been sued for selling these fake coronavirus. Wasting no time to make money from your fish hoax likely originated from a wide spread belief in silver Antibacterial Properties some tooth brush from the mantle to in order to boost sales but scientists agree silver has no effect against the corona virus in fact exposure to colonial silver can be toxic. Well other fake remedies against covert 19 and fake news about the outbreak are flooding the internet right now so lets have a look at whats right and whats wrong about this is your covert 19th special on the news. And welcome times of crisis always great times for fake news and propaganda and the more ridiculous the claims it seems the more traction they gain on social media tips like Drinking Alcohol to kill the virus and fight the disease as tempting as it may sound for some it isnt all religious claims that corona was a punishment dished out by gold or Mother Nature team from science has put together a selection of some of the most outrageous fakes. News about covert 90. Whatever you do dont try this at home this clip widely shared on whatsapp is just one example of the many coronavirus related stories circulating online the problem as the disease continues to spread fake news is going viral. In india a picture purporting to show an italian boy taking his life after all his family members died from coronavirus went viral theres a fact check revealed that the footage actually shows the suicide of a woman before the outbreak. And this photo doesnt show dead bodies on the streets of italy its actually an art installation in germany. Also doing the rounds conspiracy theories among them the just south korean series forecasts the corona Virus Outbreak back into it in just one of many stories describing the pandemic as a premeditated invention. Platforms like facebook are rife breeding grounds for the spread of fake news the social networking giant is among several companies pledging to take stronger action to prevent the spread of misinformation others too are doing their bit to make sure people are getting the right information about corona a Service Called africa check recently to rebuff a South African may claim that a vaccine against corona virus could being developed. Much of asia seems just over the hill and most of europe is in the battle against africa is bracing for impact fake news is not helping society is there to prepare for the onslaught thats pretty invincible. Kenya africa chicken joins us from nairobi vincent how much of a problem is corona fake news in african countries right now. Thanks for having me corner virus misinformation is a big big problem and the reason is that the more people believe misinformation then they will not follow the instructions are going to wash their hands only practice social distancing and they will not stay at home so the strings mean that if they dont Pay Attention wires threats more and on top of that you have people throwing certain fixed yours or medicines that have been proven not to work weve seen in nigeria for example that people have been poisoned by chloroquine because they heard it could work. It was a weirdest piece of fake news youve come across so far. Or the weirdest i have come across is that if you take some orange peels and you boil and you inhale the steam youre going to cure coronavirus and we know thats not sure because your body temperature internal body temperature never really changes all you end up doing is burning. Why on earth are people actually believing this kind of stuff well people believe misinformation particularly out health because its tied into the people are of great diseases that are difficult to cure and so this gives them hope when you give them a hope they will try and if we cure is there will buy medicines fake medicines if they have to or. You should notice that really we dont see a lot of fake news about a disease like malaria because we all know its curable in medicine is clearly accessible. To people across africa generally trust the governments to take the right measures of force that misinformation on fertile ground. People are are more or less trustful of their government and the reason they are is because they know who the government really can do the most to protect what we have seen is a bit of dissatisfaction with the measures the top being taken so for example in kenya we knew that for example the number of tests have been rising but these are concerned that they are not enough and also the fact that a lot of people live in an informal economy in kenya so they have to go out every day and money and its very difficult to tell people like that to stay at home and so why so late unless youre providing them with money so that they can stay inside. Who benefits from these fake news a lot of people benefit there are people who wants to group their insurance online and those spreading anything about his fate whether its about coronavirus or politics it doesnt matter then there are people who want to actually make a business selling fake cures so that you can actually spend your money to to buy a fake urine or treat do things that are not true for example or in shapiro water and then finally youve got people who want. To drive political agendas or theyre going to capitalize on peoples fears to spread stories and that way they spread the agenda thats probably the system its wrong and therefore you should follow me because i have a solution so there are people doing its digitally online they have. To come logical results others have commercial reasons and some have all the degrees in science and they see the deputy kenya and the tat african 2nd thank you very much for joining us from our of. For now its time again for your questions keep them coming on you tube facebook and twitter all send us an email today science correspondent Gary Williams will do with some of the most viral and fake news stories unfold claims about the coronavirus. Is this famous genetically modified to be used as a biological weapon and this was one of those conspiracy theories that was bound to pop up in the midst of a Global Pandemic right i mean there have been too many books and movies with that as a plot line but a team of researchers that studied the genetic makeup of the virus recently published some compelling arguments for why it wasnt engineered but must have naturally evolved 1st they said source code to most closely resembles coronaviruses found in bats that dont cause disease in humans and of course an evil scientist trying to build a superbug would have started with one thats already been proven to make a sick 2nd in our computer models the changes to the stars code to genetic sequence that allowed it to start infecting us just dont look like they should work very well they arent mutations that any bio engineer would have chosen if they were trying to build a super bug because the models would have said they dont really work so no the coronavirus was not designed by humans. Can supplements like fish oil zinc over to mens health. Supplements or an area of nutrition where theres very little consensus in the Scientific Community under ordinary circumstances much less in the midst of a pandemic the idea that you can somehow boost your immune system i mean what does that mean anyway the answer to this question is a resounding no the only thing that we currently think will prevent you from catching the virus is if youve had it already and developed antibodies that will prevent you from getting it again im not saying. You should stop taking your fish oil or your vitamins just dont expect them to keep you from catching covert 19. There is agreement that loss of smell is a sign of a severe case of caveat 19 can we hear more about that. Recent large scale study in britain that collected data from hundreds of thousands of people reporting on and up sure that from those who a benchley tested positive for the disease around 60 percent had that symptom to a greater or lesser extent that certainly sounds pretty convincing the only problem is that losing the sense of smell or taste is also closely associated with other respiratory infections its a lot more common than you might think thats why as of this morning at least the w. H. O. Was still reviewing the issue and hadnt yet decided to add the loss of smell or taste to the official list of symptoms of corona virus infection but that could very well happen in the coming days if theres enough evidence to support it. 3rd williams there from Science Department answering your most pressing questions and that concludes our coverage 19 special for today for more on the pandemic do check out our social Media Channels and our website thats w dot com which has dedicated covered 900 pages in 30 languages now before i let you go lets go back to africa where musicians are fighting against the coronavirus together with local Health Authorities before most across the continent and getting vital messages across to the public in songs they sing about washing hands wearing face masks and void in the fake news trucks.
