Succeed in dividing us about not succeed in taking the people off the streets because were tired of this dictatorship. Taking the stand global news that matters. Made for mines. Fancy a quarantine e. Not so fast drinking during the pandemic to escape strains sent boredom may be harmless has some but for others its a slippery slope to addiction. Public Health Bodies a warning that Substance Abuse is on the rise many who suffered from addiction before the corona Virus Outbreak so they therapy disrupted all cut off altogether. And some are calling it a pandemic within a pad to make. Addiction is a global problem the pandemic has led to a rise in fatal drug overdoses in canada some uses blame the temptation of the governments sudden public cash infusion with few questions asked demand for help is sort in the u. S. As Addiction Treatment budgets a slashed and the u. K. Is reporting long waiting lists for reopened addictions and his social distancing has slashed capacity south africa has reimposed a ban on alcohol sales and announced the return of a National Coach few to tackle a spiking coronavirus cases and addiction has now decided that the sale the dispensing and the distribution of uncle holder will be suspended with immediate effect. Now clear evidence not good news of course. Has resulted in some pressure being put on hospitals. Including trauma and i. C. U. To south africa already banned the sales of alcohol in the early stages of the lock down but the industry pushed for reopening warning of massive job losses what happened after wards the hospital admissions went up significantly about 17000 alcohol related trauma admissions in hospitals were recorded every week thats why for now the Liquor Stores throughout the country remain closed again and i cannot change to me going to be straightforward im not going to be rude i think its terrible i think its realistically because in the leaking industry is not only the people working in the Bottle Stores about a 1000000 people now have to be at home now im told is did most dangerous thing that is why people are always fighting people like the ladies who are a woman who are violated every time just because of uncle so i support the president did put in that was very good hes done perfect the president also announced tonight curfew and stricter controls to enforce the raring of face masks but many here fear that this might not be enough to weather the storm off corona virus theres still a massive lead off intensive care units testing kits and a shortage of about 12000. 00 health care workers. Dr Monica Attard from the Royal Melbourne Institute of technology and a straight joins us now how difficult has this crisis been for people with addiction. This process has been difficult so many people some people have had access because hes with the church once but then there have been some opportunities for example people who accept seeing methadone and buprenorphine some of the now to get that in logic also because theyre trying to avoid people having lots of contacts we pharmacies for example is this increase in drug and Alcohol Consumption addicts becoming even more addicted a while people becoming addicted well what were saying is increases and decreases sorry enough drugs say by you know interim findings weve seen no substances like alcohol and head of its people in mind we increasingly suppose substances with the opposite transitory for m. D. M. A. And card carrying what majority of people cite a decrease in the sorry a lot of this relates to the Different Reasons why people use a starbucks. Whos especially at risk would you say when we have a look at i doubt it we saw that people who were reporting Serious Mental Health problems were much more lax and decided that they had increased the use of alcohol of drugs and sorry obviously for those people that are having trouble coping with the unusual situation we find ourselves seem to be especially at risk so this is not just. A problem for addicts its also a Mental Health problem is that what youre saying. Yeah it certainly from eldorado looks much more cross the population so really only it ranges a small proportion of people that actually have problems but what you find of course is that alcohol cannabis and other drugs if used by a large number of people will die and find themselves in addictive that seeking treatment but you are increasing their use and that sort of thing can sneak up on people so we have to really watch out for this population little changes in drug now use so whats the best treatment when Addiction Centers are already full due to social distancing or treatment budgets are being slashed in the us or youre basically told to go cold turkey in south africa thats a real concern because like as an example where i am going to strike. Out the whole body shops are actually designated. An official notice ignited by a service that complies so unlike in south africa they went back and and that was because it was understood that they will that drink i only if i were to suddenly stop drinking or being much more problems in withdrawal than continuing to train so its a real problem to escape or why the supply thats not actually been so the issue how do you prevent the risk of addiction in the 1st place that. Well thats thats a 1000000 dollar question that i think anyone really has. To how to prevent addiction in the 1st place but whats really important is to i guess that the antidote to addiction is to connect to be able to have elections weve paper with our friends with our partners and of course thats the issue with the quite daunting lockdowns is that for many of us we have a now to connect with our friends we have the added fuel that sense of belonging and so that in itself can actually pulls people to drinking and taking drugs more than they did before well i know its so because of the outbreak but its governments that have disconnected us how can governments reconnect us that well i think its interesting that in some countries its called physical distancing not social distancing because we have technology that can help keep us connected. That arent necessarily. You know it works as well as just a proper hug or a public key piece and i think you know probably talking side by side its really hard to replace that sense of connectedness so i guess what governments might want to do is to obviously help get us through this process as quickly as we can so we can get to the other side of the oscillation and start to reconnect to a physical level now hopefully theres a vaccine that would obviously help but this is something that globally were in full hole that we have to try and get through and stay connected with each other in the meantime have a lot of people listening and connecting with out talk today dont the barracks are mighty australia thank you very much. And now your chance to ask the questions is our science correspondent Derrick Williams with some of the issues you guys have been raising with us. Can you tell us about the vaccine russia claims it has produced. Over 150. 00 vaccine candidates are under Development Worldwide at the moment and 4 of them are currently in whats called phase 3 testing thats when a candidate has been proven safe so it can be given to thousands of people in wide scale trials to see how effective it is at preventing them from contracting kovac 19 now last week the director of a Russian Institute announced that after positive results from small scale trials it would also go into wide scale testing with its candidate sometime in mid august that candidate is whats known as an ad no viral based vaccine thats a platform thats been around for decades the method works by modifying another virus called an addon a virus to deliver the genes that in code for proteins found in the spikes that dot the surface of sars cove 2 that its hoped will train the body to recognize and fight off the new corona virus in the future without having to be infected with it in the 1st place. What are the chances of recovery for a patient receiving blood plasma from someone who has already recovered. Convalescent plasma is isolated from the blood of patients who have recovered from the disease and it contains antibodies that help fight off a recurrence and that person now this plasma has been used as a treatment for others who are still ill with more or less success in different diseases. I work for around 100 years now and for the last few months its also been used on an unprecedented scale as a stopgap measure to try to fight code 19 thats allowing larger scale studies but the researchers trying to carry them out have hit a couple of big speed bumps 1st if someone is sick with cove at 19 and theyre getting sick or they dont want to end up in the control group in a randomized trial and be given a placebo of course they want the convalescent plasma and 2nd its very difficult to standardize results because convalescent plasma isnt a drug thats made in the factory a particular doses its made in someones body so no 2 doses of it will be the same thats why although a few smaller studies have claimed benefit and the treatment seems to be for the most part safe the scientific jury is really still out on whether or or how much it actually helps.
