Yeah this is still cold 19 special here and do theyll pay you news a lot was stuck to quentin j. Leave a rapping principle from alabama usa cool but its not that simple is it at least not everywhere in the world because to wash your hands with soap and water you need access to soap and water and according to the United Nations 43 percent of schools around the world lock exactly that and thats bad in the best of times but to during a pandemic it poses a Major Health Risk to school kids and teachers alike. Wow. Schools around the world struggle to reopen after the lockdown because of the coronavirus pandemic the 1st lesson in classrooms is wash your hands but for many children and least developed countries this is not an option because they lack basic hygiene facilities unicef w. H. O. Report shows that 818000000 children lack basic cond washing facilities at their schools which puts them at increased risk of covert 19 and other transmittable diseases. More than one part of these children 295000000 are from subsaharan africa. In the least developed countries 7 out of 10 schools lack basic conned washing facilities and half the schools are without basic sanitation and water services. With childrens learning a priority the report says governments have to make sure that schools are safe to reopen that means access to hand hygiene clean Drinking Water unsafe sanitation. Now an article by the Harvard Graduate School of education in massachusetts has looked into the challenges Primary Schools facing in this pandemic. From the school of medicine at the university of st andrews was part of the group working on this article and she joins us now from scotland good to have you with us now as you know education is a central theme in the u. N. Sustainable Development Goals as education can prevent or even eradicate poverty its very important given the rising case numbers in many parts of the world is now the time to put education before health. Thanks for having me on the program 1st of all but no we must give equal credits to bolt we must not choose one or the other but they preach vital importance of the health of our society as well as the educational and social benefits provided by schooling neither can be ignored especially i think one thing we need to appreciate is that were not discussing the effects of 2 months disrupted learning which may fade away by the time students complete their education but there are also long term impact of School Closures particularly for disadvantaged children i mean for example disengagement from education might have substantial impact among students from less privileged backgrounds in france approximately one in 10 french students could not be reached 2 weeks after School Closures similarly in los angeles almost one in 6 High School Students still not had any contact with teaching stuff so iting given that farce will be with us for foreseeable future long term impact of School Closures must be weighed up in only policy consideration so it is really important to bring the kids back to School Education is important also the social circumstances are very very much important but your article found that there are differences when it comes to the age of students in this pandemic Primary School seem to be fairly in the you are higher schools are more ad risk is that assumption true and if so do we know why that is. Then i see you may need to be cautious with determine ology because children are not immune they can be in infected and infect others but the disease is often less severe and given the same exposure to an infected adult in the household setting for example children under the age of 10 seem to become infected less frequently compared to adults and older children so when we talk about children i think its important to differentiate Young Children from older ones i think the differences were observing its not entirely clear but possible explanations would be differences between younger children older children in terms of height and there are social contacts social networks for example when we look at many older children they have similar social contacts as adults very complex social networks and other possibilities also include immune response and also protective immunity provided by previous exposure to other viral infections for example other common cold viruses thats much more common in younger children might be some kind of of providing some preventing factor so yeah so there are many different factors at play there and of course all the schools every school has a different approach how to go about it and bring children back in a safe manner some schools insist on kids Wearing Masks in all the classrooms others say thats not necessary but they want to keep kids in smaller and separated groups from your observation is there the ideal school model what is key for opening schools without risking more infections. I think at the memory cant say anything is completely safe its all about relative cit risk as it stands the evidence would suggest the risk of significant transmission events are over in Primary Schools than for example higher grades and i to read it comes through interventions what intervention a stew utilize we need to consider many factors in creating local transmission and the Resources Available for its lonesome new zealand. Reported that they managed the they managed to prevent majority of upgrades just by isolating symptomatic cases taiwan successfully kept schools open throughout the pandemic by keeping the interaction rate at negligible greg level in our review what weve found is especially classroom crowding and other factors related to social distancing in classrooms may play a role for example danmark of strict in the us have reduced mitigation strategies but they also have smaller classrooms compared to israel and shelley so distancing becomes much more of an important factor so there is a knowing there is no one size fits all that is definitely something weve learned from this new chick from the school of medicine at the university of san andres thank you so much for your time and its worthwhile looking at the arctic air thank you. Now while most of us trial best to deal with the Current Health crisis some of this pretty looking for a culprit someone to blame for this pandemic and no its not our science correspondent Eric Williams spad he can also some of the questions you have like this one. Is bill gates behind this mess. If you believe this already theres probably nothing i can say or do that will make you change your mind but i wanted to talk briefly about the big scientific reason why the answer to this question is no 1st a fact bill and Melinda Gates with their foundation have undisputedly contributed billions to advancing Health Care Programs around the world theyve arguably done more to improve human health than anyone else in history to be behind this mess as you put it the only thing i can assume is that you mean they would in some way be behind having sars cove 2 created by evil scientists and the lab but source code too wasnt bio engineered the Expert Community widely agrees on that because for a number of science based reasons the evidence that it wasnt bio engineered is compelling so regardless of what you might think bill gates is capable of and though i dont understand it i know there are a lot of people who think for some reason hes a super villain he cant be behind this mess because he couldnt have done what hes accused of and if he had done it wed be able to tell. And thats all for this edition of coffee 900 special before we let you go however we want to end this week with a look at the latest Global Development and weekly collected data from 209 countries and.
