The corona diary. And welcoming us into their homes. Their lives get as up close and personal as the pandemic will allow. Diaries starts maintained. As anxiety over the coronavirus runs high its accompanied by another distressing trend a rise in racism in bulgaria many roma around raged. Theyve lost their jobs their facing time to look down so that others in the neighborhoods cordoned off the Authorities Say its vital in writing in the spread of the virus. Say its discrimination. From asians in europe to muslims in india and blood. People in the United States fear of the pandemic is giving a boost to see the phobia and exclusion. And welcome life isnt always easy but you dont have to make it harder for others by being racist as they point out could actually dangerous situation yourself to that 1st a virus. The virus does not discriminate its a line many have used to describe the fact that anyone can come down with covert 19 but when it comes to Human Behavior discrimination has range supremum in this pandemic around the world various groups have been maligned accused of spreading the virus Asian Americans have reported verbal and physical abuse fueled some say by this kind of rhetoric from u. S. President donald trump. Why do you keep calling this the chinese virus and why do you keep using this. System. It comes from. The discrimination knows no borders in china itself african residents have faced abuse apparently linked to a cluster of cases within the Nigerian Community in the Southern City of. Yet. There are countless other examples of pandemic fueled racism with the fear of suffering and helplessness in the face of a spreading virus proving a toxic cocktail. Stephen voted is director of the Max Planck Institute for the study of ethnic and religious diversity steve this is even been going on in the german city of goettingen way youll based. Afraid so theres all sorts of prejudices that appear in every day circumstances one incident we heard about with some Chinese Student being thrown off a public bus. Which is the nicest i mean youve got to get what youre going to get back home i mean you dont feel that welcome to you but this is something that we hear time and again throughout history epidemics and xenophobia. Fortunately xenophobia is the word means out of this fear of foreigners a fear that they somehow threaten society and the threat might be in terms of people think a threat to the economy and jobs of threat to National Security in terms of crime and terrorism of threat to. National culture that it somehow and in this case as youre saying through history weve seen people thinking that foreigners represent a threat to Public Health what whats whats what is that because i mean whats the advantage of discriminating like that whats the actual benefit of throwing an asian kid off a bus. Well i would say overall theres no benefit were only hurting ourselves. Because your youre thinking this youre avoiding a health issue in this case a virus that threatens us all by isolating a particular group of people but i suppose in peoples own head they think that its a protective measure they think that theyre avoiding something because they presume the foreigner is the carrier of the disease and afraid were all very exacting so german could sink them protecting themselves by getting away from an asian person by mixing with other germans they could just as well or you can even most be putting themselves in danger by letting that god down i guess what can we do against this type of thinking well i think. Its the same people people tend to categorize other people all the time and they associate this category with particular behaviors or qualities and in this case a. Behavior that they think. Transmitted disease i think one of the best things that can be done are for clear statements and information to be given by political leaders by Health Authorities by other prominent people and agencies that this is a planetary disease it is not associated with a particular group or even category of people sometimes migrants and refugees get blame on the whole rather than specific groups thing to get the message across that this is something that affects all of us its not associated with particular groups and that we all have to be on our guard and do our best to. Spread so its its plan to tory i guess Good Journalism would also help but. We all born good racism im afraid. Im afraid we see a journalist in the media sometimes these stereotypes being perpetuated grow we see a story about a pandemic and a photo of a chinese person that is not helping or stereotyping i think thats something we all have to think about here as well what sort of footage we put out there and and how we think its something you have to be careful with especially considering what what i want to get to where will born racist to a sudden extent its in it and instinct but i guess we dont have to be animals. Well i wouldnt i wouldnt want to say that were all born races were all born its part of the way that our brain engages the world that we categorize and this is what we teach our children to do to categorize plants versus animals elephant versus the brother or whatever it. Is how we make sense of the world through categories and this extends to society as well were constantly categorizing. Types of people groups of people and so forth but i think whats missing place is when a category of people an ethnic group or race or religion that we assume that everyone in that category has the same values believe practices attitudes and so forth which is simply not the case and this is where our unnatural categories they overlap into serious typing and racism so i would say yes we all naturally categorize but we dont all have to be races. But if a director of the Max Planck Institute for the study of ethnic and religious diversity thank you very much and youve been well its a part of the show when you get to ask the questions to Eric Williams is how science correspondent he is with the queries sentance. If someone were vaccinated against kovac 19 could they still carry the pathogen and transmit it to others who havent been vaccinated. But this is something that well only know when we actually have a vaccine so this question involves quite a bit of speculation the hope is know that vaccinated people wont be able to transmit the virus anymore in simplified terms the way that diseases like that 19 spread is is by turning your cells into factories for turning out many more copies of the virus and it takes time to really get those factories up and and running on a scale thats large enough that you begin to shed the virus and significant amounts and and start infecting other people if your immune system has been primed by a vaccine to recognize sars cove to it should stand down on on any subsequent infections with it quickly before the virus is able to start churning out a lot of copies of itself then as more and more people stop passing to over 1000 others because they no longer get it themselves will eventually reach whats called herd immunity at least thats the theory so well have to wait and see whether that theory holds true when we actually have a vaccine. I know the virus can enter the body through the mouth eyes and nose but can it also enter through wounds or cuts that cant be ruled out completely but theres no data or evidence out there to support the idea of blood borne transmission to invade the body were pretty certain that sars cove too has to latch on to a particular receptor called ace 2 thats found in the cells in the upper respiratory tract as well as in the lungs the arteries the kidneys the heart and the gut. In cells that dont have a stew receptors like those in your skin and youre stuck cutaneous tissue the virus simply has no way to get in and so at least in theory even if sars could have to got into an open scratch say on your finger it wouldnt be able to infect you that way but it might if you use that finger to to rub your eye. I have heard about studies involving the b. C. G. Vaccine are there any indications it could provide protection against covered 19 the b. C. G. Vaccine is a vaccine against tuberculosis thats been around for around a 100 years and it still used widely in places where tb is endemic it isnt really terrifically great at preventing t. V. But it it does seem to have some nonspecific effects on on the immune system as a whole the reason some researchers think it might provide some protection against covert 19 is that they noticed what they say could be a correlation so too big studies d are now going on to see whether or not b. C. G. Vaccine really can help prevent covered 19 and as soon as theyre published ill let you know here.
