Admitted to hospital in france here in leon doctors feared they may run out of beds in intensive care. Because i didnt see. It we just dont know how high the numbers will go up during the 2nd wave when these cases may peak again is unpredictable. My problem is the staff were exhausted i dont know if we have enough to get through a 2nd wave. According to recent surveys a growing number of people in france question the countrys strategy to fight the virus the lines for testing are getting longer but the government is concerned new restrictions could cause further damage to the economy the Health Minister is instead appealing to the public to be vigilant and is letting local authorities decide on restrictions. Consecutive brezik to leave the virus is spreading ever faster which is bringing more people to hospitals and intensive care stations. But there the number of seriously ill patients is rising at an alarming rate. You know there are significant differences between the regions i think that if it holds since tickets leave it is your Health Care Workers in leon are overstretched and frustrated they collected 1000000 swabs in a week but it can take up to 10 days to get the result they say the system is already overwhelmed. So slight you know we do what we can we dont take breaks and just keep testing and testing and testing the current infection rate in france has now surpassed 10000. 00 new cases per day this weekend leon will join 3 other cities in limiting social contact. Frances president is trying to boost morale as numbers climb he attended the Tour De France which carried on despite a resurgence in tases. To dos it was noted probably one of the virus will be here for months it will continue to spread throughout europe and france we need a well organized Health System to fight it coexisting with the virus means living with the reasonable restrictions to help keep things moving today.

Its the worlds 3rd largest industry but that was before the cove in 1000 pandemic brought tourism to a screeching halt. Thats been especially hard for europe the worlds number one travel destination in years past tourism brought regular surpluses to european budgets. Border shutdowns or restrictions have shown just how many jobs are dependent on foreign visitors and its not Just Airlines and Tourism Companies but also hotels cafes and businesses all dependent on bustling travel. But with the full coffers of the past also came growing tensions across europe higher living costs gentrification and frustrations for locals in many cities like here in barcelona but also venice and amsterdam. Will tourism ever bounce back to its pretend to make cars and could this extended offseason be an opportunity to rethink travel for the future. Hello and welcome to door chevelle as coburn 1900. 11 its good to have you with us a tourism may be a double edged sword for europe but the pandemic has reminded the continent just how important the sector is for its economy and especially for jobs john Philip Schultz brings us this report from Spains Canary islands while the season is coming to an end in most of europe the real action is just beginning on the Spanish Island of where to enter without italian fits that will violation i had lived here for 15 years she runs a Kite Surfing School after months of coronavirus restrictions. Shes now hoping for winter vacationers then something here is pleasant in the colder months and its nearly all and waits when the. I hear it i should arrive. We have a lot of reservations i mean not like its. More like asking for information how this situation is looking but i know there are a lot of people from all over europe interested in coming here and i hope it can be possible for everybody. Its far less optimistic he runs a Small Country Hotel in the interior of the island the restaurant is doing reasonably well but he says the Hotel Business has collapsed because for months people all over the world have been warned against travel to spain he has already had to let go several employees on his small team and he sees few signs of improvement. They were really good employees they always did a good job one of them ended up on the streets without work and without any form of support i think the situation could get even worse people fear runs deep its going to be difficult to recover from all of this you have to wait up till about 2 thirds of all workers on fortune to wood on live from troops and the crisis of searching the african and south american Migrant Workers on the island particularly hard many lost their jobs from one day to the next and do not appear in any official statistics. Under itself migrants work without papers in the hotels and restaurants on the island according to local age organizations and like other residents theyre not entitled to any Government Support and for them the absence of tourists is becoming more and more of an existential threat to. The island governments doesnt even try to put a gloss on things it is now pinning all its hopes on a meeting of the e. U. Tourism minister at the end of the month the government. Commissioners hopes rest on trevor taws his governments idea on the arrival and departure the island could test all tourists for the corona virus and the existing quarantine regulations could be lifted and i hope in that meeting 28 of september in europe they are able to say ok all European Countries decide how to proceed to make those test in the airports on the ports the government of the coyotes and also put them into we have to budget that money to make it possible they could start as early as tomorrow the politicians that it would be expensive but it would be worth it if planes finally landed on the island regularly again. So the view there from Spains Canary islands lets look at the broader woes facing global terrorism and the pain started in the 1st 3 months of the years of the year rather as asia lock down that led to a 22 percent pullback in the sector and while those numbers have improved slightly in some regions the overall Tourism Industry is looking at a whopping 60 to 80 percent contraction for the full year and that would put as many as 120000000 directors of jobs at risk. And lets talk now to Richard Weston hes a Senior Research fellow at the Luxury School of business in the u. K. Where he focuses on tourism and just good to have you on the show how dependent has europe become on tourism. I think that. Probably is as a region youre a prison more dependent on the loss of all the regions in the world that there are parts of europe. Particularly spying in italy greece which have become very dependent on tourism. 15 percent of their g. D. P. Comes from from just this one sector thats staggering what does that mean for jobs. They have to jump a lot of jobs because hes not just a directly employed people in the in the industry but all the ancillary support staff you know. Travel companies and they dont treat companies that everybody does anything that might be connected to a mass 1st at the same time you have all these jobs but then the whole Business Model in some ways wasnt that great a lot of the cities amsterdam venice barcelona really chafing at the amount of tourists that were coming through their cities and what it had done culturally what it had done to judge for occasion things like that. Certainly some of the cities have become far too successful if you like. Causing problems for the local populations the resident population in terms of increasing property prices and. Local shops closing because there arent enough local. Places. Particular started to address these in terms of the attractant where they are not trying to put people off. Then trying to push them out into the wider region. But he created there are a lot of places in in europe which were clamoring for more tourists you know some of the new Member States in the balkans and. They were under tourist. You know what i looks like everyone is under tourist how long can we expect things to last as they are how long this industry be down. Right or how the piece of string them thats. A very good question i think certainly. This year will be written off than were already saying a 2nd spike and so i think you know there will be coming towards the end of the primary tourist season anyway but but i think you know were seeing the 2nd spike were likely to get more local lockdowns more interruptions to travel more borders closing and more quarantine period so all of these things will have a negative impact on on to reason that i think the long term impact is likely to be felt for for many years perhaps up to a decade. It just just depend on the progress of of the virus and whether we have a vaccine if we dont have a vaccine an effective one then that means that we will be looking forward to social distancing for. The future and of course that has an impact on the capacity of hotels and restaurants cafes beaches even and so thats going to have a serious impact on certainly the mass market you know the plates roaring heavily on tourism for those areas where the distracted tourist but they were more dispersed then obviously its less of an issue because theres their own natural spacing going on between people all right Richard Quest and joining us from the universe of luxury thank you very much my pleasure. And once again its time for your questions answered by our science correspondent there williams. Doing need to stop taking medications for high Blood Pressure did they make a coded 1000 worse. This is one of those questions thats been subjected to a lot of intense scrutiny over the months early on in this pandemic there was a lot of worry among Health Care Professionals that certain medications called ace 2 inhibitors which are used to lower Blood Pressure that they might actually make people more susceptible to coke at 19 thats because we think they might increase levels of whats called angiotensin converting enzyme to or a stew in your Cell Membranes and we confirmed that in early stage that that just like with other corona viruses the ace 2 receptor is kind of the door knob that 2 uses to open the door to your cells so the theory was that having more ace to receptor is would probably be a bad thing however stopping Blood Pressure medication suddenly can also have serious side effects so the medical advice was keep taking your meds until we know more well fast forward 6 months and we do know more and guess what it turns out the opposite could be true a recent large scale met analysis of 19 other studies conducted by british researchers shows that taking those hypertension medications doesnt put you at greater risk of a severe kovac 1000 outcome in fact the study says they might actually reduce the risk of disease severity although that wasnt proven definitively but really i think whether they actually help or not is almost beside the point just knowing that were now pretty sure ace 2 inhibitors. Really dont make over 1000 worse will be a big load off the minds of the people who take them and the doctors who prescribe them as well. All right our science correspondent their claims there and finally heres a special flight for australian travelers with nowhere particular to go quantas is offering a 7 hour scenic flight called Great Southern lands around australia on october 10th it will passengers to catch a glimpse of popular attractions such as lulu the Great Barrier reef in sydney harbor tickets cost 570. 00 us dollars apiece and sold out in just a few minutes.

Clear water was there quite abundance while that would be interesting so on mars the atmosphere is 100 of what we have here on earth its very very cold and at the past its like you have started you could imagine bringing some supplies and you know you do and trilled a little selfcontained pressure vehicle or vessel which would be on the surface there are things like oxygen that you can harvest from the atmosphere to help make a living possible. If you want to think of humanity if we really want to survive forever were going to have through off the earth eventually and i know that seems a little crazy but youve got to start somewhere.
