Welcome to news asia glad you could join us with more than 50000 deaths and counting india has the worlds 4th highest death toll from corporate 19 the government has expanded testing and what is underway on these 3 vaccines but none of that hides the fact that cases in india continue to rise in daily life these numbers translate to people dying jobs last increase the internal migration and pressure on medical services in a moment ill be speaking to the w h os chief scientist about where things are headed but 1st a quick look at the impact the pandemic has had on a country of more than a 1000000000 people. Yet another funeral. For yet another victim. Just one of the more than 50000 people in india officially recorded as having died of cold at 19. And just as the. Demick has robbed lives it has also dest hopes and deferred dreams until last march 20 year old ashish kumar worked at a factory in western india he earned a regular wage part of which helped his family here in the Northern State of utter pradesh and he had aspirations to put his savings into starting up a recycling plant thats all on hold. The dream i wanted to reach by 2023 has now been pushed back 345 years now i cant do anything for the next 4 to 5 years. Shish kumars parents had put him through school he feels he has a debt to repay but now hes dependent on them again. Since my childhood theyve been sacrificing and still are and when the time came for me to do something in return this lockdown happened and everything went haywire. Indias abrupt lockdown in march sent millions of suddenly jobless Migrant Workers scrambling to return home and paralyze the economy. Experts say the damage could long outlast the virus itself. So i think even if you think Unemployment Rate was 70 percent going into fights and the future of these why do you think it is very bleak so there is possibility of getting stung effectively. And the emergence of what can be a good edition these people had no more time to wait driven by necessity they have returned to the city to get tested for the virus and search for work. We had to leave from here because of the fear of coronavirus we thought that we would be safe in our homes and now weve returned. Why did you go back. Theres no work there no work so we had to come here to earn money. Its a dangerous decision potentially exposing oneself to disease in the hope of putting food on the table. And joining me now in the indian city of chennai chief scientist of the World Health Organization dr so i mean doctors are and often welcome to the program. Officially india has the highest number of cases in the world and is 4th when it comes to the number of deaths but these are of course only official figures do you think the real tolls in india are much higher. So you have to remember that india is one of the countries. And so we need to get upset and this. Is a lot of cases when you look at it diluted to the size. And its actually much lower in terms of cases and. Now the question of recording and reporting cases and debts this is a common challenge for all countries including some of the high Income Countries face this challenge the package advice thats because often they in a matter of months and so im sure that there will be that constant updating and education thats going in with countries. The capacity of king died he says has gone up tremendously and i understand india is forming something like. This again this one. But when you look at the size of the population it needs. Much much more because people just in the central finding out where the infection is. So weve also now. Going on and on the water. Done in india that the number of people whove been exposed to the slides. In them but its been done and thats all there is obviously a large proportion of why they have. Minimal symptoms and have not been detected at all so thats good news and unpacked. The good news of course is that the virus. Has an infection in fact ality tissue which is significantly lower than the case that doctor to treat and so but if you take it to nominate just number of people infected in unity then the section that got the t. V. Shows certainly under one percent. The bad news is that all of these people in the community got infected but never detected and therefore didnt get at this so we need to understand much more now of course you need. All these people. At ease we dont know how long these antibodies persist how long did we need to even insist. Response thats quite active. So this is a lot of Research Questions helped certainly i think what were learning is informing. The response to this and i think. I think india is ready to focus on those Public Health as social mission which is documented if at. All then your particular concerns. In india. So jeff has been consistently putting out the message that this epidemic essentially has a long way to go because the populations of the world are still not exposed and susceptible to this violence and again coming back to the size of the population he had to. Have i. E. Not just opened slums cities with populations of 5000000 which cost the population of some of the countries involved and then you have smaller towns and villages which kept their own. Challenges and across the world you see this in the developing world in particular the challenges of open settlements is quite different from the challenges that one would see include. Things like access to health. You know less health to the to see and so on are challenges and concerned about all possible but this action has been digging in to see that the epicenter has need an. Automatic and that in the boss a few weeks old so many countries an issue. That up until it challenges an n. P. C. Across europe that some countries and. Such its still. Quite Different Countries and different regions. Challenge is different stages and india has to let the states its need. To delete contain the fiction in some of the cities that action is. In the same time needs to focus on what appears to be. An increasing number of pieces. And. Vaccine. When can we expect one. So theres been a lot of course about what seems and again i would say that we can be optimistic for several reasons the 1st one is that there are so many different candidates in development you know over 200 Development Programs that seemed about programs and the other very positive thing is that for the 1st time you see your i. Q. Different backseat technologies that forms being dried so we have the traditional ones like the neck to be did all those and also the biden does not get me to want to the guy. And then you have new platforms like the autonomy and the d in the back seats. So this gives an opportunity for at least some of these candidates to succeed even if we talk about 10 percent success rate we got in to have 30 candidates in Clinical Development one would expect that one on one of these candidates. Will be effective in protecting against section but we have to wait and see we cannot predict which of these is going to be successful only that these 3 designs tell us and theyre looking forward to seeing those results i think for some of the trials that become now deceased the trials weve had. That its just these 3 in the months of late july early august we could expect to see some of these insights before the end of this ticky speaking its going to be closed off on the stock scene results of the Clinical Trial thats been kicked off now and we will then be able to. Pay the production which of course speculations and investments are being made right right now. Act that city backs the city that. Is set up so that manufacturing didnt happen as soon as. The results are only not you know the usual. Usual model is just about effecting scaling up only off do you see themselves on the street because its a big investment those Big Investments are made in advance. So that we have that capacity to get to hundreds of millions of dollars as its going to be the middle of next year and we hope that the callbacks facility will be able to access and he says. Before the end of 20 thank you mine which will then be completely distributed across all employees. From the.
