A telephone help for an endo if they use it to distribute food and medicine the coronavirus pandemic has plunged hundreds of thousands of indians into joblessness and poverty. When the lockdown started there was so many people out there who had lost their jobs. Even have enough money or resources to get the most basic necessities like food or medicine and we were so dan tweeting. And asking the authorities to take action so we thought wed create this hope line the twins mother helps finance the initiative 6 they say that good doing works is important to them. You know in my religion we always put aside money to spend for charity and its one of the most rises over any of our generation than proving my parents. The twins mother also brings food medicine and masks to delhis outlying districts. Tens of thousands of Migrant Workers live in this settlement when her daughters got the 1st call for help people here had gone hungry for 5 days straight. Here bomb a bomb got there we work in the fields but no ones hiring us anymore my husband sold vegetables what are we supposed to live on what are we supposed to eat the schools are closed we cant send our children to class anymore and if you know how to do that because. Taking care of all these people here is too big a task for their initiative. Their mother wonders why the government doesnt help. I dont know why real everyone see the things that the government these people from have been rehabilitated long time ago when they have no business to be here. Suffering like this a new call has come in for the twins theyve already helped feed 50000 families in over 30 cities across the country now flour sugar and rice is heading to a family but the demand continues. So lets talk a little bit more about the pandemic in india and im joined now by Peter Himmelman hes resident representative to india at the connaught i dont know washed if dong normally in delhi but currently in germany and that is due to the pandemic just briefly what prompted you to come back to germany. This good afternoon 1st that prompted me it is as you mentioned coronavirus situation in india its increasing they leave you have like now 62000 was the latest figure of increase today a total of 2200000 but that is not the only reason it was recommended also by the German Embassy and most german institutions called their stuff back because the key point was that there is not enough medical supplies there is not treatment guaranteed in case and thats why nobody wanted to take the risk and said so please come back for the time being ok so youre back in germany now but of course millions of millions of indians are in india and we do see rising case numbers there neverless the governments wants to open the economy again can india for that. Well i would say its they try to find a balance between life and livelihood what they have done 1st they had the strongest lockdown ever in the world and that was there to protect the lives of the people that they did not get infected the consequence was that many lost their jobs nationally the Migrant Workers and had no income and their livelihood was taken away so they are opening yes on the one side on the other side theyre doing lockdowns in selected areas where you have lots of infected people you can call that smart lock down they have certain Containment Zones they put it in red orange green like a traffic light and try to control it theyre very tough but the rest to be open more and to look into the Safety Measures the typical wants is the distance there in mosques all of that if you go into any Shopping Center youre controlling your temperature is taken you should you have a mask you have to sanitize your hands otherwise you cant get in so they take measures also on the villagers but on the other side see that they have to come up with the economy they cant afford to now lock down in the longer were going by those theres measures that you just described which are very reminiscent of what we do in here in europe as well of course and you get the feeling that delhi has the pandemic under control. Well i think no country really with such large figures as the under make under control they try to control as far as they can i expect that maybe in august you have the peak in india and figures might go slightly down you also have the government influence in the countryside because the Migrant Workers that is the think took the intentions from the cities when they meant back to their villages but you have strong control mechanisms in the villages to be there very much listen to the elders and the elders are wise to enforce those social measures and those those hygiene measures what i have mentioned and people coming from delhi becoming debit also asked to go into home current in for some time so they try to control the government also tries to have Financial Measures for those who are affected of it that starts from food packages for those who were on their way but its also that like the Bankruptcy Law has been suspended tax payments have been suspended all other things so they try to ease the situation for those who have a financial burden of the. President representative to india cannot add an hour shift dont currently here in germany but talking about the pandemic in india thank you so much for your time. And of course so a lot of measures are in place but do they reach everyone well not necessarily so often the crisis is proving hardest of those already living at the margins of society like the st kitts in delhi. 15 year old justin sometimes likes to watch t.

Now there are many more aspects to this conde make and its time for your questions now as our science correspondent derrick williams. Vaccines work for Young Children or be tailored for adults. This question addresses one of the reasons why its a good thing to have so many different teams working on on so many different back scenes theres a widely acknowledged problem with testing not only vaccines but but new therapies in general which is that early trials in particular are usually conducted on groups of healthy adults under 65. 00 and of course they arent the people who need it most with covered 19 elderly men with comorbidities are the group thats most at risk but especially in early safety and efficiency trials nobody will be trying vaccine candidates out on backward because not only could it be dangerous it could also skew the data and lead researchers to false conclusions the same holds true for testing new vaccines in children it can be risky because you cant just treat them. Like little adults they they can react differently to vaccines its certainly possible this is not likely that children and adults will be vaccinated differently when and as they become available. And thats all for this edition of 19 special from me and the entire team thanks for watching.
