Beethoven is for. Beethoven is for every. Beethoven 2020. 5th anniversary here on. The corona virus may feel like its everywhere but your chances of surviving it depend on where you are in many cases. Indigenous people remote communities theyre especially vulnerable if the virus arrives there. Sometimes theyre just so far away from the Health System its difficult to get sanitizing supplies to them to prevent sickness and no hospitals around if they do get sick. Fear of the corona virus has caused many to seek even more distance pushing deeper into jungles and forests. Away from the virus but also further away from help. In todays covered 900. 00 special what the corona virus means for People Living in isolated parts of the world my sister in for example she says she feels safe being so far away from it all but what about indigenous communities theyre under Strict Lockdown and extremely susceptible to disease same case in the amazon the virus not as a threat to its inhabitants but also to the rainforest itself brazils Indigenous Peoples are afraid this tribe. Is worried that the corona virus could soon spread to them. That is that we are asking for help because we Indigenous Peoples are neglected by the state we are afraid that we will starve because nobody knows how long the corona crisis will last. For a lot of use. Because hardly any intact rain forests left to flee to so this tribe is forced to tough it out its a very different story further north in the amazon basin here many native communities are taking control of their own destiny by shutting off their reservations and putting up barriers against intruders and against the virus experts believe the virus poses more of a threat to Indigenous People than other communities and he saw because its so moving to myself we know that Indigenous People get sick faster. Develop more severe symptoms and are much more likely to die from it or hes gone why are you more. Their immune systems are more susceptible to viruses of all kinds. This is why some of the tribes have even withdrawn into the jungle just like the i watch seen here in pictures from before the coronavirus. Live far from the nearest settlement they hunt monkeys and live on berries from masai palm trees. They live as they did over 30 years ago when they were completely isolated. Criminals are taking advantage of the retreat of the Indigenous People to destroy parts of the rain forest authorities report a 50 percent increase in deforestation is the boss in the process that youve got the invaders are lumberjacks gold miners and illegal hunters they bring diseases with them the brazilian state must now drive all illegal intruders out of there you know they usually are. In the capital of amazonas statesman as hospitals are already reaching capacity and already there are coronavirus related deaths among Indigenous People in 29000 adama owned by a Mining Company collapsed killing hundreds it was a disaster for the Indigenous People in ministry rice mining waste poison the rivers and now theres the danger of coronavirus you real pot out before a river is almost dead because a criminal act by a Mining Company caused a disaster because of this we can no longer grow anything. For our. Multiple dangers for a community with little to no protection. Or returning to our report on the coronavirus and indigenous communities in the amazon by mathias he joins us from rio de janeiro. Is that the best for Indigenous People of the amazon to fully cut themselves off like so many of us have but in this case were treating them further into remoteness to avoid getting ill yes its definitely the best way for them to protect and to isolate themselves deep into the jungle the Indigenous People here in brazil they have a weak your immune system then the normal brazilians they have less antibodies and if we look into history into the seventys there was a mass extinction of indigenous tribes in brazil due to flus and influence us. Brought by illegal loggers and miners in these times it was the era of the military did it military dictatorship who constructed the generals constructed roads highways and brought infrastructure to this region and the Indigenous People did not so far forget this mass extinction what about bringing Health Services to these communities though if they do push further into the jungle. The Health Service is really poor for them they have a long ways to go to cross river sometimes several days trip to the next health station which is maybe not. Having the ride to test for corona there are cases from Indigenous People in brazil who who tried to get a test for corona for kobe 1000 that didnt succeed they had to travel 3 days and one direction 3 days back and then finally as we hear more than 20 Indigenous People already died. Now so the questions youve been sending us about the coronavirus being so many our science editor has hardly left his home office for derek but i know the feeling i was talking 5 weeks straight here and there a sense of. How does covert 19 kill is that the virus itself our patients i mean response. Virus attacks and kills cells obviously as its replicating itself but in the course of this disease it often appears that your body is its own worst enemy when you are infected with covert 19 it triggers an immune response in your body that manifests a symptoms like fever or die or really theyre meant to contain sars cove to try to stop it from making more of itself while while these killer cells in your immune system sort of sweep the virus up and in about 4 out of 5 patients who have symptoms everything works as it should but in about one out of 5 the new corona virus is able to attack lung cells that produce substances that are critical to getting air into and out of your lungs now when bad happens the immune system can go into overdrive invading and destroying the lung tissue in an effort to keep. The infection under control as the damage in the lungs mounts up pneumonia isnt far behind one particularly dangerous type location is whats known as a cytokine storm which can quickly proof fatal. What is a cytokine storm and why is it dangerous. Kinds are signaling molecules released by immune cells that cause inflammation now inflammation is actually part of the bodys immune response to Something Like the invasion of a pathogen the problem is when the checks and balances in the immune system dont work correctly and the immune cells continue to churn out cytokines kind of on mass even when theyre no longer needed the inflammation reaction spirals out of control and the vast numbers of cytokines begin attacking the bodys tissues thats thats aside a kind storm in 19 patients whove had severe cases its often whats causing death. Over the top reaction of the immune system can cause much more damage to organs like the lungs then the virus itself in younger patients in particular doctors now believe it might even be the primary cause of mortality now there are drugs out there for toning down the immune system response that could be effective at preventing an impending cytokine storm in a patient but of course its a tricky thing to try to rein in a patients immune system in the midst of an active infection with the virus. His own therapy effective against covert 19. 009 is an unstable boleh killer form of oxygen. Its a gas that naturally occurs in the atmosphere where it absorbs a lot of the harmful ultraviolet radiation emitted by the sun that would otherwise strike our planet now the gas is a very powerful oxidizing agent which means basically that in chemical terms its pretty dangerous stuff now i had never heard of the therapy before alternative or otherwise that used it though i did know that ozone is used as a disinfectant for example to kill microbes in Swimming Pool water a quick search however uncovered guidelines from the u. S. Food and Drug Administration that are pretty clear about it not being a good idea to try to use it for medical purposes in fact high levels of ozone can damage the lungs severely so i would steer well clear of any therapies that claim to use it. Well that was our 1000 special from or go to our web site e w dot com weve got a dedicated section on the pandemic and its in 30 languages finally a quick look at some of the only 15 nations that are yet to record a case of the threat of virus in asia talking about north korea turkmenistan the jacket stand which still maintain they havent registered a single case of code 19 but International Observers have cost down from some of those clients in africa result color rose say they too have been spared from the pandemic so far lets hope it stays that way and in oceania about 10 island nations have recorded 0 cases thanks in pots to that geographic isolation which is exactly what our show has been about today the pros and cons of living in remote parts about planet and been facilitated by then thanks for joining us.
