Well germany has registered a massive increase in corona virus cases with more than 6 and a half 1000 new infections over a 24 hour period so lets take a look at how quickly new infections have surged over the past 7 days well start at last wednesday thats the 8th of october where we see new infections at 2828 those numbers going up and then theres a dip here this dip this is the weekend where a number of local Health Departments dont actually report the figures when they come back on monday you see the figures going back to 6638 newly registered covered 19 infections with numbers more than doubling in one week that means numbers are growing exponentially the figures were released just hours after german chancellor Angela Merkel met with the leaders of the countrys 16 federal states to agree new pandemic control measures one seen as a role model for Europe Germany now feels the pandemic is getting out of hand that a country has fed every day to the west so far with caseys rapidly rising im going to america has issued a stern warning. As Michel Martin does if you ask what worries me it is the exponential rise and were going to stop it otherwise it will not end well. We can see that all over the place and i dont need to look at germany here i only need to look in the neighboring countries thats the point regional leaders have agreed to shut hospitality venue some 11 pm in area to day become virus hotspots or regulation already adopted by some cities like barely 9 frankfurt contact restrictions will also be enforced in hotspots social gatherings will be limited to 10 people from a maximum of 2 households in a bid to curb the number of infections at the political level one bone of contention remains leaders cant agree on Domestic Travel rules that mean travelers from hotspots cannot stay in hotels without a recent negative test im putting come a day should ban is to contest a demand to stay disease someone to keep it up at any cost and to majority of states are skeptical because its related inefficient to prevent infections but in the end it causes a lot of agitation anger and disruption but some under street say its not more rules that are needed. Theres going to be here some good existing rules are not being followed and theyre not being enforced all too often you see people beat out of moscow on fences and subways sure enough i believe the rules should be better executive its a fine line when you see all the weddings are kind of course understand but on the other hand its also a risk for others as well as the abilities i think we all need to be reasonable the numbers right now in the fund and. If the number of infections keep rising im going to america has warned that even tougher steps may be needed. Just take a look at some more coronavirus developments the whole of the netherlands and mainland france will be classified by germany as coronavirus risk regions from saturday as according to the countrys centers for Disease Control its a later corded more than 8800. 00 new cases over 24 hours thats a high state of total since the start of the countrys outbreak an up dramatically on wednesdays number i mean while the head of the World Health Organizations Europe Office urged governments to be uncompromising in controlling the virus or warning that more drastic steps could be taken if the pandemic doesnt receive.

Brass niche the game will have some personal significance used to play. In with current brian style. They remain in contact to this day. That we write every so often how were all doing the distance is a problem and now were both parents we dont see each other too often but were still in touch and get on really well. Friendships will have to be put to one side during the game the team has been stepping up its preparations and then add a match a shake they have a form of born to sleep a player in their squats. We havent spoken a huge deal about by and yet or analyze them in any great detail but i think everyone knows what to expect its hard to find any weaknesses with them so its just about giving it all we have enjoying the game and then seeing what happens at the end. He usually when a lower league side meets a team like by and they shy away from setting themselves targets but not. Magine if we manage to concede fewer than 8 goals in the game then we can say were better than shall occur in barcelona and thats worth something. And barcelona have both found themselves on the wrong end of the buy and go machine in recent months success after all is all relative.

The race continues for a Coronavirus Vaccine still the highest hopes of treating infections medicines that already exist approved for other diseases or in development. Its called repurpose saying. You want to go with the things they do know that such as. So you like that. d its important to know treatment is most effective medicines helpful early on when the infection is mild or there are no breathing problems could be effective or harmful to a patient. Continue to scour their portfolios for possible solutions the world has never faced a pandemic of these proportions in a moment ill talk to an expert from the European Medicines Agency 1st a look at some of the drugs that are being repurposed. Antiviral medicines were originally developed for hiv hepatitis c. Influenza and 2 other coronaviruses sars and mares theyre designed to stop the disease from reproducing or entering long cells antiinflammatories are used to treat Rheumatoid Arthritis or inflammatory diseases theyre supposed to limit the bodys defenses and severe long infestations to avoid further information which would cause more damage than the disease medicines for long complications are designed to treat Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis they help supply the patients longs with sufficient oxygen and help the long repair themselves cardiovascular medicines were developed to treat blood clots or Heart Disease theyre now being used to provide complications from covert 19. Head of biological Health Threats and strategy at the European Medicines Agency is a pharmacologist who spent several years in antibacterials and antifungals in preclinical and Clinical Development so where are we at in treating corona with medication. Yeah were seeing some important advancement seen particular i think they use all this im at the saw not for treatment of patients we copy 19 and with important results from the recovery study showing the benefits to the mortality using this is a medicine hes an important enfants meant and will be used and also the antivirus does appear one of the 1st one to be tested in Clinical Trials for the treatment of corby 19 it showed that the ability of review seems the time to recall vary so the time to start from the off the dull patient means all the lies that come in 19 and therefore ds are so far the more significant the past meant that we are reaching tons of treatment the decencies i went through the various treatments before what are the most effective of these treatments. Yet theres a matches on indeed the movement giving us the most impressive results so far and we really hope to see other interventions that will be as effective as this one and really the combination of different more dolly ts of treatment will be but important to be investigating the future we are causing a hope in the new 1 oclock on 2 bodies with a neutralizing activity story acting as onto biros and probably that combination all bunty bar as we say no more 2 liters might might be the most interesting were to follow in the future. It took a long time to find the right mix to treat hiv we going to have to wait that long suppose it. We ought not to of course t. R. Everything is much more compressed in time and fortunately there are still a lot of patients out with severe called the 19 and be hospitalized and we have seen progress when youre up in new wave all of the cases including similar cases so were really all that Clinical Trials that are running at the moment and there are several efforts well be able to deliver you know much faster way what we need to know about what could be the best intervention c. R. Now to combine the different agents of course is very important and one of the Lessons Learned that we need a lot from the my skin the court trial and the small mentee Clinical Research that weve seen in the beginning part all seem europe is not really elsewhere because we need a lot of studies to tell us exactly what is 14 and which patients but instead of 3 parts a single these different drugs developed to treat different diseases what what about new therapies. Yet in terms of one to virus in the new way both products are brand new and they cover all the small molecules seem not to read that severe or indeed these are on 2 bodies that have the potential to naturalize the virus and being battery effective and indeed we seeing this with other emerging viruses like it how they can be a really hot pulling times already using the burden of disease so we are really hoping that all these new maxines will provide a really new opportunities and really be helpful in fact fully in treating patients as you said the new drugs could reduce the burden the need to hospitalizations i guess what we do need is a drug that works at all stages that. Absolutely in fact so were really supporting the effort by Many Developers to study different drugs that different stages of the culture in 1000 d. C. s starting really from their profile oxys impulse to support a profile oxys going to treatment of mine p. C. s in the out patient and then of course the treatment of severe copy 19 patients that i was brutalized and maybe we will need a combination of different drugs depending on the difference and point of all the seasons of all of your encouraging new therapies but why isnt more being spent on that potential vaccines have received about 6 times more funding than the therapies and we dont even know if well get a vaccine. I guess for what i can say is that hes believed that the vaccine could ever be the end of the day yet bigger parts are on the course of the fund then it can also in trying to contain the spread of the virus and this is what we have you learned for a number all of our old diseases over years and decades but of course youre absolutely right the probably we need not to forget that also tara pure dicks are is truly important and that effort should be put also in that ira to make sure that we have a group or all your or Treatment Options that cover different pharmacological activities in order to make to make sure that we can treat this one as possible in a non christian way patients with different stages of the disease from the use top strategist michael commentary thank you very much for your time thank you building a hi ms germanys 2nd biggest Pharmaceuticals Company with close to 6 and a half 1000 staff and busy working on various drugs including a special covert 19 therapy. These antibodies may be invisible to the human eye but they could play a vital role in neutralizing the corona virus scientists in the laboratories and bieber half say they are developing new treatments as fast as they can. And we are generating antibodies because they will bind with the virus and prevent it from infecting other cells and the human body in fact. So these antibodies are designed to catch the virus after it has entered the body yet before it can do any damage. This side of an upper sway be a is brilliant in the homes Largest Research and Development Center the head of the German Division says the prospects for b. Are good. We see in c. S. Talk tough guy when we are in the middle of the process of building up our team and be behind our work force and we expect a slight increase in personnel over the next few years and always does i mean lie and im sticking in next to. Another approach to fighting the coronavirus is the inhouse molecular library the socalled treasure troves these shelves contain over a 1000000 different Chemical Substances the accumulated knowledge of the pharmaceutical giant researchers are investigating whether these substances are suitable for treating some of the effects of covert 19 the scientists said person or have joined 36 other pharmaceutical companies and Research Institutes around the world to form a consortium to fight the corona virus. If we can Work Together and we can pull the best information from each contributor and that is precisely the goal of the consortium to bring together all the experts and move forward quickly on this occasion but it could take years before an anti coronavirus drug is approved the scientists at berlinger in the heim say its too early to speculate about a possible release date. Time to look at the viewer questions that have been coming in on how you tube channel is their aquariums. Its covered 19 now endemic. When i read this question i thought ok its time to talk about the elephant in the room the fact that despite all of our fondest hopes this virus is not going to fizzle out and go away 1st lets define endemic the way were using the word here is in its epidemiological sense which describes when an infection is more or less constantly present in the background within a specific population and geographic region but it also implies that it. In a kind of steady state which covert 900 is not at the moment its still spreading fast and furiously in many places all over the planet one of 2 things could happen next when enough people build up immunity to it through infection or vaccination covert 19 could become an endemic disease or it could just apparently burn itself out and disappear like sars dead but not thats not going to happen in other words at this point if we could say that the disease was endemic wed actually be farther along the road towards returning to life as usual that we are it would mean covert 9000. 00 was no longer out of control but was a disease we had tools to cope with well develop those tools eventually just like we did with aids and influenza in fact probably a lot faster but but wiping the virus out entirely at this point would take a massive planet wide strategy like the one that wiped out smallpox and is nearly banished polio but projects like that take high levels of cooperation between nations and they take time so koven 1000. 00 is going to be with us for the forseeable future but to some extent at least for how long will depend on us. Humans on the only ones going through difficult times during the pandemic some zoos a closed door have very few visitors and often lack the funds to feed their animals but merchants from perots largest wholesale food market have joined forces and donated over 10 tonnes of fruit and vegetables to help feed the animals of lima zoo it seemed visitor numbers tumbled from around 5000 to under 500 a day and leave you with the animals have you along for another code special here on the w.
