Praised for promoting Girls Education and also sharing top of his 1000000000. 00 in prize money with other finalists. I better strategy welcome to news that you could join us got all of us infections continue to rise across the world with many countries reporting 2nd even 3rd waves of the virus south korea for instance and in india the capital delhi but in the country where it all began china its a whole other story on thursday local media reported less than 20 new cases so whats china doing right and then their sins here for other countries well discuss that with an expert in a bit but 1st heres more on life in china in the shadow of a global pandemic. In china signs of the corona virus pandemic are hardly noticeable Authorities Say there are only a couple 100 active cases and next to no new daily concerns. We have no evidence right now that the situation in china is anything other than extremely low levels of the virus with a very aggressive response to any upsurge of. The moment some individuals test positive the authorities react by doing mass testing in the area thats why recently in the port city of tianjin 2300000 inhabitants were tested before the. That nearly 5000000 in cash car and in the city of qingdao authority say more than 10000000 people were tested in just a few days. Its a big effort and in the end a few dozen people are found who test positive and are immediately isolated furthermore china has strict entry rules foreigners can only enter in exceptional cases and anyone who does must get tested and cornered for 14 days. Beijings head of that the genealogy says the priorities for curbing the coronavirus are clear. Hiding the pandemic is a war poor hugh have to be quick with everyone bands together you can be strong and win and that sense the right strategy and strong leadership healthy. Child need an involved. Everyone is required to download a state sponsored health app only those who show a green light can enter many places authorities are not forthcoming about how accurate the apps are hong kong at the Technology Spend collings is china can use tactics not easily used elsewhere. And its very clear what the cause was of the test in Mainland China positive cases isolated the house or contacts a quarantine everythings done very very strictly and that brings an end to transmission now forced people to stay at home in isolation or call and say that they wont it wont be a recommendation it will be an order for chinese authorities every positive coronavirus case is one too many they react quickly and everyone is expected or rather required to cooperate. David fisher is an Infectious Diseases specialist of the Master University hospital in singapore and was part of a double team the travel to china of the start of the year to observe its response to the coronavirus he joins me on the line up professor vishal welcome there given the extremely stumbles in china right now what would you say china has done right. Thanks for having me back. Would china learned very early on the. A good way to control it was was really by this aggressive lockdown if you like and and then a very aggressive testing regimen with the ime to eradicate it and and thats worked for them. Other countries have done similar things of course taiwan viet nam thailand even new zealand whenever any of these countries of had any cases or any any Community Transmission theres been a very very aggressive approach i guess towards mass testing and really trying to dig out all the cases. I guess theres probably some concern over whether it could be controlled or or if they tolerated a sort of a low level transmission as we as we do in singapore and hong kong places south korea as as we try and do it a slightly different way i guess those countries have got a bit more confidence in their Public School systems to be able to bring it under control whereas this other the 1st group of countries really go for eradication and and i guess thats a concern that it could just get out of control again not lockdowns interesting you have a measures that have been employed in other countries as were seeing in some countries like south korea even in delhi india 3rd wave of corona virus infections what does it not work in those other countries. Well for instance in china they. Are i guess powerful in the response that they can test millions of people in days and and people can get theyll be a knock on the door and then though theyll be given a time when they go for the test testing is is essentially mandated and you can dig out all these positive cases even symptomatic cases and if you find them all over the course of a few days and then you go back 10 days 2 weeks later and do it all again then then you really. Stand a good chance of that eradication and im not sure in india and other countries that theyre going to despite chinas success i wonder if china does for some blame for its lack of transparency of the initial months of this outbreak i means arguably that contributed to the global spread of the virus. Im not sure thats completely true maybe it is a component but everything that we learnt in the mission in february has played out to be true whether its the mortality rates the modes of transmission the effect in the elderly the effect in children all that plane being true now now that was that was february and that was a lot of information to obtain when when really that only identified the virus a month or 6 weeks early and compare that to the response in other countries where that where they werent really getting ramped up until macho right prole i think its a bit hard to be too critical of what my own might not have happened in in january when even when it was known to have been very other countries still werent responding as as they should have that is a perception that china was hiding the truth of therefore that contributed to the spread of the virus just tell us because you were there and you interacted with chinese doctors and Administration Officials was you and the double which will freeze to china photo its response what feel so special with what they did when we found them very open wait we found there was consistency in the stories as we move from from one place to another we spoke to our peers we spoke to Infectious Disease physicians on and and if one doctor is talking to another doctor who is you know not not necessarily a government official. And hes he or she is telling you things that youd like to realize have been completely verified by whats happened in other parts of the world i just have never personally experienced. Anything being being hidden. Do you think your criticisms of trying the response in those early months especially the criticism that has built up in the past few months you think the thats a bit unfair i do because i know what its like at the beginning of an outbreak and and you could well look at all if at the was put into for instance the west african Ebola Outbreak and really it was it was 6 months it was really when they didnt support emma even though it had been 1st identified in around march. This was like 4 months 5 months before we were really getting a response going there song i think i think the fact that china had identified it going to test shared the genome sequence with the whole world i just wonder what would have happened had we been in another part of the world whole road with the response of brainy that are not out of or as a present open to a dead fish i think so much for joining us my pleasure to rush. Now to the teacher in india whos been awarded a 1000000. 00 in whats considered the nobel prize for teacher as its called the Global Global teachers prize that went to this man behind me and i didnt see him this early working at over Primary School in Maharashtra State in the west of india he was on that for having transformed the life chances of girls at the school way attendance has skyrocketed from Single Digits in the community now 200 percent when it happened on a global teleconference with london.

Its not true youre still here still fighting. For. The collaboration of landmarks businesses an artist in new york shows how important it is to cling to positive things especially in times of crises. Hello and welcome to our 19th special here and news i want to get good to have you with us as you feel today well these days its not easy to find that Silver Lining on the horizon right especially when you get bombarded with bad news day in day out its time for the media to do better india Record Number of new coronavirus cases on sunday hundreds of elephants. In recent months being described as nonstop and bad news is the world really in such a thoroughly terrible state for countries in the region. With of course the current coronavirus pandemic is indeed an extraordinary global crisis. But if you take a longer term view you see there have been many positive trends infant mortality has never been lower. And the number of People Killed in natural disasters has been at. Averaging down words and talk still we often get the impression things are just getting worse and worse myself included even though as a journalist i dont just consume news but also help shape it. Why are we more sensitive to bad news doesnt have something to do with the brain im on my way to see neuroscientist martin. She has researched precisely these questions. At him for me as a brain process is negative news faster better and more intensively than positive or neutral news on to us we also remember it better in terms of evolutionary biology and processing negative information better than positive information has been helpful was it because in the age of the saber check tiger and woolly mammoth missing a piece of bad news might well mean thats it for you how. Studies have shown that test subjects from different parts of the world became more excited and known as soon as they were shown bad news regardless of their looking shin and culture. Many Media Outlets use this effect to their advantage negative headlines sell more copies and get more clicks. Studies show that the media are publishing more and more of that news especially online. Just about how is it a problem if the media revel in bad news. And asked only its worst and foremost it makes us all have negative expectations so we go through life with the worldview in which we assume the world is worse than it really is let us say its just. Was the impact of media reports can be extremely strong take the Boston Marathon bomb attack and 2013 for example some people who followed the news obsessive for more stressed and frightened. Others who had been physically present. So what does this mean as else thats my 1st of all it makes people less likely to take action you might think the realisation that we all have a worldview thats too negative would actually prompt people to become more active files but many psychological studies have shown that that is precisely not the case on light sighted polly whats more it can promote chronic stress we know that chronic stress can be a factor in many diseases including diabetes cardiovascular diseases have Mental Illnesses such as depression how can be depressed when you doubt it then. The coronavirus pandemic is a good example after months of bad news many people have grown weary of the crisis they feel helpless and wish things would go back to normal. As a journalist i have to consider whether i might be contributing to other people having a misguided view of the world what can the media do better. Well thats the big question lets bring in all right hog founder and c. E. O. Of the Constructive Institute to journalism for tomorrow in denmark good to have you with us how do you cope with all the bad news. I try to see the world and my news with both eyes closed looking for the problems but also feel that you are. The problem and the way forward now not everybody is capable of doing it and we certainly learned that bad news sell better than good news it seems in the media then its all down to profit what could prompt Media Outlets to take a different approach. Trying to stand that is a big misunderstanding the american courts the 5th fleet at leats it turns out not to be true if you ask people on the street in berlin or elsewhere in the world do you need more news you need faster news they would most like to say no im drumming it but i need something i need something to trust i do need journalism but i knew we needed we need journalism that is passionate but also give me a full picture of the world that is what people want they want not more information but they need navigation stories about where we are what we come from but especially moving ahead so the idea that its only fear that we should took temp into it that weve been doing in the news industry for years with telling people of the show that theres breaking news here something bad might happen here in appalling screenings reship everything is going to help watch here that has been our strategy and it has turned out that people turn their back on us they are overwhelmed and they dont want to pay for it so if we think about it we should know listen to psychologists who say that yes fear is very strong and as you said it comes down from the stone age but hope you speak of it thats the reason why people get up and you know we build and we revisited little games of that as i went but we still have to obviously its a journalists job to report the truth and the truth isnt always beautiful yes and sadly a lot of bad things happen in the world so how can you as a responsible journalist strike the right balance reporting the truth but not adding to peoples anxiety. Yeah and we should not we should not give people false hope we will our job is not to put a smile on peoples faces we have the information to trust business and we should remember that but we should we should see both the problems and then we should take one step further instead of just just looking for another story another problem we can tap people on still dont is it you also have to watch this this could also be dangerous we should stick to the problem and ask the constructive questions pointing to the future asking now what and how if we have a problem what have other countries done that we can learn from that so i think as the come to say on things that the prospects of Office Solutions give people a helping hand and with half a minute to go is there anything positive in this Current Crisis the pandemic that we as dennis can take away from theres a lot one of them for me i dont have to spend 2 days going to billin to talk to you for 5 minutes i could stay here we have learned more and more to do that also in meeting in that in the Business World we have learned a lot of things in denmark for instance we should know it but people dont know that less people have died in denmark in 2020 then in the last 10 years every year why because people dont get the flu all right well thats thats in good news indeed only god are all there founder and c. E. O. Of the Constructive Institute generalism for tomorrow thank you so much youre welcome. Let time now for your questions over to a science correspondent eric williams. How are we supposed to deal with coronavirus fatigue when restrictions are being reimposed. This isnt a science question its a personal one but pandemic fatigue is affecting so many people all over the world but i wanted to spend a couple of minutes sharing my own thoughts on it here in germany where it gets dark and cold in the winter a lot of people are really dreading the next few months even though compared to many other European Countries things are gradually going pretty well here so far but it feels like theyre balanced on the edge of a knife and it wouldnt take much to tip the scales and slide the country into some some pretty Dark Territory so for me at least in addition to just being heartily sick of pandemic restrictions theres also an underlying layer of fear that never really goes away and getting through the next few months will be easier if i can lessen that what helps me personally keep my fear somewhat at bay is is this focusing on the science which it is not to say that it provides Crystal Clear answers all the time science is messy and what it seems to be saying can often change over time just look at what it now says about mask wearing for example compared to a year ago but the fact that ideas can change based on new have the dense is not a a weakness its actually science has great strains and look at how far its brought us less than a year after the 1st reported cases of the sometimes deadly fast spreading disease what weve learned about trees. Thing it has steadily lower if they tell of the rates among those who catch it and and theres a good possibility well see large scale vaccination against cope at 19 next year and thats amazing because it shows we arent helpless even if we are afraid and exhausted by the whole pandemic thing and i at least and now hopeful that if we can only hold out for a few more months things will look different and 2021 in a nutshell i battle my own pandemic city by reminding myself of how far weve already calm and with hope for where i think were going to be in the not too distant future.
