Big effect and that was completely false information. To our viewers on p. B. S. In the United States and all around the world welcome we begin the day with a question if you observed it now how was your easter. Weekend but we now know what a major holiday looks like in the shutdown coronavirus world we live in at the moment there was silence from San Francisco dissolves burg on sunday and an easy a natural low and now comes the clamoring calls for an end to travel and work restrictions this week some countries will begin leaving the lockdown austria will become the 1st European Union member to start reopening nonessential businesses in shops it is a different story however in france and in the u. K. With new cases and deaths from the coronavirus in both countries some of the highest in the world paris and london say it is simply too early to ease up at all here in berlin chancellor Angela Merkel she is weighing the options for germany the current lockdown is scheduled to end this coming sunday should it be extended well today the countrys National Academy of sciences said no not completely in its report the academy recommends gradually reopening primary and secondary schools across the country the report says that schools could soon be followed by shops and restaurants with one important condition table should be positioned to comply with social distancing the academy also recommends that people wear face masks in Public Places for additional protection and the economy warns that these reductions in restrictions should only occur in conjunction with nationwide testing for the virus they give a big yes to testing and they give a nod to some data surveillance the academy says g. P. S. Data collected from our mobile phones could be used for that very important Contact Trace or earlier we spoke with claudia these im one of the academics who contributed to todays report. Its not just a Health Problem it is an economic of the we we cant ignore that we do have to. Deepen our efforts to to to Work Together to to try to solve this particular situation we have to better isolate for example. People who are infected for that when i need it but it datta us that we need data scientists to model these particular situations we need the support of the public who voluntarily give. For these models and well to encourage each and every one to Work Together on this problem we cant just treat it is as a problem of the Health Care System it is much more than that it was claudia visa month speaking with us earlier that report will be one of the considerations this week as german chancellor Angela Merkel begins consultations on whether or not to extend the current walked out restrictions to talk about that im joined tonight from stuttgart by dr stefan caliph when he is a german politician member of chancellor Angela Merkels c. D. U. Party mr hellman its good to have you on the program what do you say should these even want down restrictions should they be loosened here in germany. Yes everybody of us are curious waiting for these records and see its a very balanced report of the National Academy of. Suggestions are very nice and its a science based. Science based. Of good politics and i think the suggestions are route to start and into the lock down the restrictions and starting you reported into schools for example into primary to secondary school not into kindergartens because its more difficult there to keep distance between the children so to start primary and secondary school and also not in the high or school level because they can do it by yourself for Digital Learning and thats one of the one of advice this day give to us and chancellor on wednesday to get to be just state president s of the states will take the decision stand up to do but i think its a very good basis for the further development in tony mr cowper do you think that the decision made this week will it be made solely on the science the david that youre talking about or or what about the attitude and the feeling of the people of the german people do you think that they are growing tired and fatigued of this lockdown. The polls Say Something different 80 to 90 percent. Of the lockdown and all of what we decide to do so do you think its a necessary florida protection of to help the people so we started a discussion of party economical. Party could only the consequences of to lock down the most of the people of the. Government and all that we decided to get out and now we have to see what we can losing in an indigenous pollen sent i think its very good dont we have a very strong scientific advice that its time spent it also shows that its very important to have Research Assistant to have liked it well enough to give us a good advice and also for the chancellor and to execute the report that came out today mr calvert also advocates using. Our data from our smartphones to try to track people are germans concerned about this type of surveillance do you think that this is maybe opening the door into a surveillance state of the future. Yes we have a debate on debt for true if you look on asia on south korea for example they had a lot of success but dont miss it but we have to discuss it in chumley a little bit different and so we say it can be a duty to use this system to use these apps but it cant be. You can be. On a. Yes and then i think it can look also in shop we developed a good effort. Yes the controlling enabling but it would be a duty i think that sobriety. Also a political field mr come you know the entire world has been looking to germany in this pandemic because the mortality rate is so low compared to your neighbors compared also to the United States and asia but also the adherents to the restrictions of this lockdown has also been high how do you explain that why are germans willing to obey a the lockdown in comparison maybe more so than their neighbors here in europe why is that. Yes i think people will feed it all but we decided to do a lot of a lot of those. Things we do for the health system. Successfully we have around 3000. 00 deaths thats a lot less than in other countries and i think we started to lead to test and also to protect people. So we dont look likely at the moment temple you know the countrys vice death rate higher there but. You can see the population in germany in accordance with. The law all right mr stuff on health and been a member of the German Parliament joining us tonight from stuttgart mr governor we appreciate your time tonight thank you very much. The United States is the country with the most confirmed coronavirus cases and deaths it took less than 2 months for the corona epicenter to migrate from china to italy to new york in that time u. S. President donald trump repeatedly downplayed the severity of the outbreak despite being warned several times in january of a potential pandemic now trump is taking responsibility for leading what he calls americas best response to the virus and he does that on Live Television every evening when his Coronavirus Task force holds a press briefing at the white house now the conservative wall street journal has criticized trump for turning the deaths of thousands into a Campaign Rally during those press briefings i want you to take a listen to what happens when reporters pose critical questions that do not fit trumps narrative of the pandemic. Im really happy with the job were doing and im glad that this team and me are here for this horrible thing i mean its a number of people have said it but and i feel it actually im a wartime president this is a war where you say to americans are watching you right now course here i say that youre a terrible reporter thats what i say. It was it were just i think its a very nasty question and i think its a very bad signal that youre putting out to the American People i have a big decision coming in. And i only hope to god that its the right decision but it will be based on. The input from a lot of very talented talented people very smart people and people that love our country thank you all very much thank you well much has been written about the u. S. President s combative cantankerous character and his penchant for profane insults of others the president S Mental Health has also become the subject of concern 27 american psycho interests have even offered a book entitled the dangerous case of donald trump in which they ask does trumps malicious narcissism make it impossible for him to distinguish between right and wrong well for more on that subject im joined tonight by professor isabella whores are collars shes director of psychiatry and psychotherapy at the sharp hospital here in berlin dr hoys its good to have you back on the day we should let our viewers know that there is a rule known as the goldwater rule which prohibits psychiatrys from giving opinions about public figures without personally examining that public figure with that in mind how significant is this book by 27 of your american colleagues. Well i have read that book and i thought it was very insightful and of course its significant its 27 of very well known very respected a psychiatry is a strong 1st rate medical schools and university put together a book like that this is food for thought food for thought and you know we want to say were not trying to get a diagnosis here but we want we are seeking understanding of what we see and hear from truong you specialize in nursing cystic personality disorder now long before he became president dollar trump was labeled a narcissus what do you see and hear when he speaks country were going to be meeting with. Well everybody can can just tick the boxes on the d. S. M. I. V. Criteria for a narcissistic personality of his order and then count how many of these 9 criteria trump fulfills. And its actually an pretty easy exercise now of course. Nobody has. As i know of has actually examined him and so you should not make a diagnosis and i think thats a very valid statement and i wanted it here too to go what a rule of course we bought. Said that said is that we know a lot of trouble i mean he is probably where arguably one of the most outspoken. President s there is he displays every aspect of his personality so we dont really have to examine him in person if you will we can just watch his. Public appearances and if and read the books those people who have mixed. Its with experienced. Those who have lived together with him those who have worked together with sit with him so we have so much from nation about him that it is probably. Download and reliable to say that there is some problem with his personality. I mean it does make a difference when were talking about a private figure or even a pop culture figure compared to the u. S. President the most powerful person in the world and if we accept that trump is a narcissist in the white house does that change the calculus for Mental Health experts in the u. S. Do you think do they have a duty to speak out about this. Well let me 1st clarify i mean if a narcissist many people are narcissistic theyre benign arse assistant we all might have a narcissistic streak in us that our people are on t. V. Or have to go in front of cameras every day so that is nothing bad that is that is that its all right that is fine but when you are talking about a narcissist with that you know a personality disorder that is that is not so fine and that is a mental disease or whatever which isnt that obvious. For all a persons it is difficult to grasp that that concept that there is a mental disorder in somebody who is so narcissistic but. Oh wait it when you are asking me. Does it make a difference weathers you or i are not assist or whether it is trouble i bet it does. You know the president has tweeted about how good the t. V. Ratings of his press briefings have have been you know at the same time thousands of americans are dying from the coronavirus this is this a lack of empathy or insensitivity does that play into a Narcissistic Personality Disorder if it does its one of the criteria and its one of this kerry wanting one thing that we should all really be worried about really worried about i mean i was shocked when i heard him say that his ratings are better than what the bachelor are Football Game or something i mean that is really such a. Such a stark lack of empathy that is. Horrible were going to have to leave it there dr Isabella Hoyer call your joining us tonight from berlin as always for your we appreciate your time and your valuable insights thank you youre welcome. Well the corona virus is dangerous to our health but. Information about the virus as part of the w. Social media series on living in a locked down we look at ways to identify and stop the spread of false information on. Just fighting and were fighting i mean for to me what hes talking about is the rapid global spread of false information during my research i came across 3 types of fake news and misinformation regarding the coronavirus number one was wrong health which was to be honest sometimes pretty moment there was a belief that eating garlic would be able to get rid of the virus people started to say that you should start taking into drinking mortar and and thats going to help you kill the virus so they prescribe a drug. Effect and that was completely false information number 2 was false information about the origin or the spread of the virus. Was. That europeans brought it into the country and it was not going to affect anyone other than white people i froze and the 3rd one was general false rumors about the severity of the crisis so many of these are real food is a video of the typical completely out of context this video claims to be taken in the u. S. This year but its actually a move to mexico 2070 some of them are just so outlandish but in this go on a crisis situation its sometimes really hard to distinguish between something thats true and something that falls so how can we detect and stop the spread of fake news and misinformation a former cia analyst and the fact checker from buzz feed will tell us. What we know about misunderstood permission is that it works because cannick anxiety fear again or. It really plays on peoples instincts to pass it dont you know the media where you. Are sort of in a situation where our brains are going to sort of shut off that Critical Thinking part that makes us stop when we see information stead of having that instinct i have to tell everybody in my life but i just learned to say ok to maybe instead search it out and see if there is correct Information Available misinformation move accidentally wrong information this is a National Sake its intentionally wrong information meant to manipulate her scummy found on social media or on fake news sites or passed on by a group chat by family or friends. Just simply ask questions of your friends where did you get it and then youll start to see you know that person got it from someone else who probably got it from somebody else who probably heard you know got it from somebody out real quickly realize ok thats a brimmer thats not fairly Accurate Information a lot of the time if you get the sort of authority referenced in there seen before casting and you just go to the website of the authority itself and if its not available on there who should channels you should just take a step back and say you can even this is not good health. What you think about mean. Style of sharing information. That text on an image is probably the most hazardous we share information that there is and thats because theres just absolutely youre getting the full picture youre completely lacking context youre completely lacking sources and so i would say that if youre seeing it i mean. Trying to pass on information is going to go in we just dont. Matter who you are going to reasons are a great source of information bearing on 3rd party or the most part reason were called the international action. That has a crowded over a 100 factual around the world to be able to look at these schools and. Different languages in different regions. So the few super easy online tools you can use to detect fake news my favorite is google reverse image search the person posting these pictures claims they were taken in italy you just right click on one and go to search google for image its already said venezuela bowling balls on the streets and you can see a lot of Fact Checking sites have this picture done this so many tools but just to name 2 others as examples there is a bottom of top or the bottom meter where you can check whether a twitter account is a bottle out and then there is news gardner which is an extension where you can see whether a website is trustworthy are not. The best use of advice really is like do not insta share anything just take a breath stop you now because it is that sort of like emotional reaction that is obviously you know its very very understandable that we are feeling it but thats what gets us into trouble obviously passing on bad Health Advice can have direct and dangerous consequences but spreading other types of wrong information about the virus can have listened but broader implications a lot of the most of this information that we see. Has spawn a lot of research. And a lot of heat and thats a global phenomena. The exact perfect time for a country that wants to you know leverage Something Like high emotions stress and a lot of conflicting information out there to push a particular political agenda. Your grandma like my grandma is telling you to eat a lot of early you can say yes. But this will lead to serious were it can be carried even if you have no symptoms which gerlach is not going to help it and be really patient and trying to explain to the best of your ability maybe providing somebody a fact check saying hey this isnt actually true might not convince everybody but it might stop it from spreading just a little bit more and thats where if you feel i can go check out the other episodes of hash tag in this together.
