To our new cove at 19 special we begin in germany. 50000 employees are missing in the hospitality industry. Most of them found new jobs and other sectors during the pandemic. Re, salmon. What time is the how specialty, but the head chef is forced to prepare it by himself. During lockdown, many kitchen staff left to make up with the shortage. The restaurant now opened later on sundays tis i talk to friends are far from our follow. Its really noticeable. Weve had to change our schedules and i can use our Ala Carte Menu in our kitchen. We cooked everything fresh, so we cant offers many options as we blank. And we have to rely more on inexperienced staff. Thats the problem with dealing with. And i dont know any kitchens that arent looked like for staff. Think well that we have to somehow make the best of the situation payments for him, for with midland, both of us and put them off for the hotels owner. The staff shortage means the loss in revenue. One is he often has to turn down large events and he doesnt do weddings anymore. Even though the demand is there, youre more to show why shows before and what happens if there are regular ghastly quote. Been coming to us for years. And we, i tell them, im sorry, and we just cant accommodate you or mark was that would be terrible. Been done. We were, im really, sally.

This machine, id like to change that and one day as night had shut myself in the interim yamaha job, which i, for one im condition the hotels executive assistant is the bosses right hand man. Its usually a desk job, but now he has to help out wherever hes needed. Its the only way to cope with the staff shortage after a 5th of the hotels employees gave their notice. If im wrong, im jumping in no matter where i like it from. I cant imagine spending the whole day sitting in my office in front of a computer from 9 to 5. I need the change of pace, and lots of our staff are doing the same, helping each other out to retain staff and attract new employees. The hotel ensures that everyone gets 2 days off after 5 days on the job. Theyre supposed to avoid overtime. And at the end of the year, everyone will get a share of the profits. As well as bonuses of up to 2500 euros for people whove been there at least 5 years. The head chef hopes the measures will attract new staff to i, heater, clearing the of, and maybe some of the employees who quit during the pandemic will come back. Or maybe theyll be those people who say, you know, working retail really isnt for me. Gastronomy was not so bad, it was actually quite nice. Ive been in this business for almost 37 years. I dont think id have stayed so long if it were the worst job in the world to go from civil forever. In the meantime, hes doing his best to help the next generation of chefs as a member of the examination board of the Brandenburg Chamber of commerce. He supports apprentices wherever he can. Another way of fighting back against the staff shortage. Next to morocco. For the past 6 months, moroccos borders have been open in june and july alone, over 3000000 tourists came to visit the north african country. Oh, visitors had to prove that they were tested and vaccinated. Ah ha. Morocco is a country with rich cultural traditions that attracts tourists in droves and tourism is good for the economy. In morocco, it wants accounted for 10 percent of g d. P. Historic cities. Traditional crafts and beautiful architecture have made this north african country a highly desirable destination from the desert. To the concert line. That is, until the corona vars pandemic plunged the Tourism Sector into an unexpected crisis. The government made some tough decisions, but although they were bad for business, they were the right ones, says the secretary general of the National Tourism confederation in casablanca, the markup to this is, or x, time aqua morocco made some very brave decisions that they perhaps, to the detriment of certain economic indicators, but they were the right decisions for the health and safety of americans and anyone on moroccan soil focus of course on some of the famous jemma elfin are square and marrakech is normally a bustling tourist magnet.

Thats ironic, considering that according to the o. E. C. D. Columbia has one of the lowest reading levels worldwide on average. And colombians used to read fewer than 2 books a year. But that changed during the pandemic.

But during the pandemic, she developed a passion for literature. She doesnt keep the books on shelves. She stashes them in plastic storage bags to protect them mostly books from independent publishers. Jeff, where can i lose . I am. 8 way was i find these publishes some exciting, which are more quick is a more what a clerical one he of is on their unique books have created a community of ritas edges kitchen, oklahoma. My, theres such a passion for detail that i havent found anywhere else. And they have especially good customer service, keep until you talk to real people, thats what sets them apart on our number. There are 70 independent publishers in columbia. Theyre little known among the general public. But during lockdown they posted record sales. Publisher edgar blanco thinks thats down to their flexibility in his as he could. Ok, were always struggling. Actually. Were always trying to reach our readers in different ways and in this and then his impulse to read. So in the totally unexpected hammond the global pandemic, we will prepare a until now and then that mean our job, easier in his brit alcohol going up on the regular oil books from these independent publishers give a platform to new voices on the colombian literature scene. But during locked down, customers couldnt browse in bookstores, sales mostly happened through social media to link foods. You know, we then it get, it worked really well and im from many, it was a lifeline learner because it put them in direct contact with their readers or through posts on instagram, facebook and even twitter. Or thats how i sold books was ridiculous or not for my degree rogers. Yes, it is at transactional commerce, yet bookstores that were able to sell directly online also did well during lockdown. Readers could even communicate with each other on the stores. Websites giving recommendations or reviews. Is us yourself an inventive little causing thing . Was that for bookstores, operating on a national or Even International level . I dont sales went up despite the fact that the doors were clustered. Us said when we werent expecting that a social networks also helped that are, that was, i see that way. So soon as he left dahlia, the selection in this bookstore comes from independent publishers. It mostly sells political books about Critical Thinking and social movements. I dont predict like, well the people behind these publishing houses, lets say theyre not interested in making a profit. Plaza cape was, was gannons. Yeah. They sacrifice on money to get lots of books into circulation, to which a lot of people say more and more ciocca, whos the, all these great books behind me form what we call our independent corner or dep indented gabriella part i started reading as a child her Favorite Book is gargoyle by Andrew Davidson for her books or an alternative to the internet.

I said, i dont see agile out and one of them and to feed her healthy new habit, she needs lots of new books. And shes keen to buy lots more if nothing else to support independent publishers. Ah, and now to mexico, 1600000 people there are suffering from long covered. But the Mexican Government isnt shelling out enough money to treat the health consequences. He my remora fell ill with coven 19 in august 2020. And she still suffering from symptoms . Now, for a long time, many of the doctors that she consulted simply didnt believe her. The 39 year old had to spend a lot of money seeing specialists. Until finally she was diagnosed with chronic fatigue. And you are logical disorder and muscle pain. In that midday malaria where to fall my entire body was shaking in narrow mic. Im just walking to the bathroom, was a huge undertaker. I arrived completely exhausted and had a shower sitting down in bed. I still have days where a shower sitting down because of exhaustion era. Her partner takes care of most of the housework. Although myra has made a good recovery, she still needs help with many every day tasks. Her breakfast consists of a cocktail of drugs and she is by no means the only one. At least she has a partner to help. Many in mexico feel left alone with their problems. Says i medina with so has long covered after losing both his job and his partner he set up a self help group. Calmer Nautica Monique air. No ones talking about these things about what can happen and so your family partner, friends, and others, and start to feel skeptical and think you just imagining a dinner element. What is going to that could be assessing been dando group on facebook now has 6000 members. Although an estimated 1600000 people in mexico are suffering from long covert. The government has not made any Funds Available for examinations or treatment. Says amadine, as group works to raise awareness of the problem, particularly among government officials and departments. Medical doctor giorgio fan uti believes that the apparent lack of interest among politicians has more to do with the health service, not having the capacity to deal with the problem. Eric will not fair law seek all these patients really need to be referred to the Relevant Health care systems and theyve been but those institutions, theyre just arent in a position willing to deal with all the problems that arise from this illness goes a line for me there, mexicos Public Health institutions say they have treated a 178000 people for post code that problems and have a 188 facilities that offer comprehensive rehabilitation. Psychologist marta lopez who takes care of long covert patients, assured us that multi disciplinary medical teams have been created as well as online therapy to target the problem. At that they appeared grad, a mask. One thought that value apart from providing more medical consultations with these types of patients, if a long covert rehabilitation courses have also been carried out by lakila facilities, causes are accessible to all your impatience can simply join in from home where then mac said an 8th of course of but the government is still refusing to recognise long covered as an illness. That means that Public Health bodies cant right patients of sick. Myra has moved house to be closer to the university where she lectures in psychology. Even so the one our daily commute, combined with the teaching is tough. Its 3 times as strenuous for her as it would be for a healthy person. And the strain is exacerbating her symptoms. When not, islam is not, that is a little. Youre no longer the same person and thats hard to understand and to cope with it each day. A fresh sized because you know, your life wasnt like this before. But that during the sickness and everything suddenly changed like you like and, and now you can no longer live without help from others. Oh, do you have a question about the corona virus assigns, edited derek williams, gives you the latest research and analysis. Sent derrick and emailed i rising to cover producer at d. W dot com this week. His answering this question from seth underwood. Oh, is the pandemic now claiming only as many lives as a bad flu season . Oh, a lot of experts hate comparing influenza to cove. It because it paints the current epidemiological picture with a very broad brush and because there are so many vague factors involved in trying to nail down the data, starting with the fact that reporting on cobra 19 mortality has been really spotty in many places and, and complicated by factors like, like clear attribution after all, just because someone is testing positive for the corona virus when they die, it doesnt necessarily mean the virus is what killed them, especially if their elderly patients. Um, similar problems apply to defining flu mortality. Many of its victims arent killed directly by infections with the viruses that cause influenza. But instead by the pneumonia that getting flu can lead to okay, i got at least some of the car, the outs out of the way. And you all know now how much gas work is involved, but lets see if we can come up with some kind of an answer to your question. Based on the data that we do have to start with flow mortality according to the World Health Organization in the years leading up to the pandemic. Influenza killed between 29650000 people annually. And really bad years. Therefore, around 650000 people died of it. Now cove, it, i added up the w h o statistics for weekly corona virus, deaths in 2022 and came up with around 850000 for the 1st 6 months of this year. If you double bad for the fall calendar year, then it would add up to a prediction of around 1700000. 00 deaths due to coven in 2022. So roughly 3 times as many as a really bad year for flu. This is of course, over simplified and kind of cheating because cobra 19 waves are, are dynamic and theyre ongoing and theyre unpredictable. Um, you might have noticed on that graph, for instance, that the most recent statistics show the global death count from the disease is currently lower than at any other time since the beginning of the pandemic. Since last april, cobra has only been killing between around 10017000 people world wide every week. Its a positive trend that is at least partly due to higher levels of immunity and populations due to vaccination, previous infection or both. But. But even if that positive trend were to hold steady in the future, wed still be looking at the corona virus causing at least as many annual deaths as the number attributed to flew in a really severe outlier year. And probably more, boom in the next program will show you how School Children from around the world are getting back to school of Student Teachers and parents. Prepare until then bye bye.
