The coronavirus pandemic has exposed the divisions in our societies. Time and again we see that economic background affects the likelihood of one catching cold 19 people from less wealthy communities are more likely to have jobs that put them in harms way. Working from home meanwhile as most of the. Serv of white collar employees or members of society to the face more risk of exposure living in tight quarters and finding distance a luxury. Existing Health Problems also make the coronavirus more dangerous to the poorer parts of society. So what can be done to close the gap how can we ensure that everyone has the same chance of escaping the virus. Welcome to torch of those cold in 1000 special im Stephen Beardsley in berlin its good to have you with us work housing preexisting Health Conditions all play a role in our exposure to the coronavirus as well as our vulnerability to the illness that develops from it thats what experts say thats also the lived experience of many in the pandemics hardest hit neighborhoods take a look. At been watching his friend are looking for a grave the one that belongs to their friend danny he may have died of corona virus has gets doesnt know for certain but downey is one of 41 friends that hes lost in the past 6 months all except one are black. And this really makes for worry because you know ive got children ive got friends and got children and were close. Pesca is a popular figure in the north london borough of hiring the 62 year old pensioner worked as a lecturer at the nearby university and does well interior work where he can for example at a food charity for those in need he says hes seen how the black asian minority ethnic are being community has been especially affected by the pandemic. You know. Disproportionately in terms of numbers and thats why. A report in june by Britains Department of Health Reasons for the many deaths among ethnic minorities as indispensable workers in hospitals food markets are taxi drivers theyre more exposed to the virus also Housing Conditions are often crowned risk factors such as diabetes or being overweight are also more widespread the chairman of the council of the British Medical Association is familiar with what has kept his experiencing and warns that the deaths will continue with the 2nd wave. It is that duty of any government in any nation to protect its population protect those that work lack of any action plan the lack of any implementation of clear recommendations that were made. Is extremely concerning. Cant find his friends grave only close family members were allowed to attend his funeral. Hasnt been able to say goodbye to any of his 41 friends whove died. The report mentions some of the risk factors facing poor communities during the pandemic tighter quarters preexisting Health Conditions and front line jobs lets take a closer look at that last factor jobs is a breakdown of job categories by the percentage of employees who can work remotely based on a study from the o. E. C. D. At the top Business Administration with a whopping 3 quarters of workers able to stay home roughly in the middle teaching professionals and down at the very bottom also jobs that are considered low skilled like sanitation and cleaning there are a mere one percent of workers able to do it from home and even thats hard to imagine. And im joined now by ricardo a spinoza hes a policy analyst at the o. E. C. D. Center for skills and paris carlos good to have you with us is it fair to say that the better educated you are the more likely you are to be off the front lines you know absolutely so where we found that theres a lot of evidence showing that when it comes to tell you the range of those who are as a higher level of skills say for example those who have a Tertiary Education degree tomorrow much more likely to be able to tell or work from home so. There we see the sort of Risk Research about these issues and not only that we also try to help kind of trees to all repair these difficult. Or part of the skills divide between those who can afford to stay home those who can perhaps theres already a skills divide before the pandemic wasnt there. Absolutely so weve been hearing about the risk of automation or long time right so people are going to gradually be machines now the problem is that this endemic might you not accept or a district so you think of commons up to this and they dont try to automate as many dollars in order to protect themselves. Against prices like this or potential out there and then in the future so any but context it is very likely that those jobs or are currently performed by people who as a lower level of skills are likely to be automated 1st so in that sense i think that you have to map it and then it most people will probably. Occur even much more than those this is how it was killed so widening the gap between hire and. What is the potential for retraining those who might be replaced by automated workers as you said. Yeah absolutely so i think this is going to be a center if they didnt so i think theyre up to distinguish between the long term and the short term i think the short term theres the scope of governance or colonies to implement certain policies 1st of all to retain as many jobs possible but also. To promote example. In managerial practices to share in i dont sell Management Practices in order to allow workers to work with one problem but it is a long term this will not be possible without thinking of a strategy to abseil and risky all the operation so thats why strengthening our learning system in general movie at the center of the debate and countries are working on and passing these large recovery bills right now have you seen any effort to already begin this conversation or at least even the funding for some of the spring training or is it too early. For the countries who are reaching out to the personal to help to help i think the 1st episode help identify those workers and i think research once in that direction its important for us to add it to other workers are high risk you know once we are able to identify its a church to target the right incentives the right measures those. So you know this is actually a trend that weve seen over the past month or so countries are wary about this question of very short term theyre looking at retaining as many jobs as possible are ones that any sort of they do next i mean well see countries doing more and more to strengthen their out of the system and theyre really worried about this and this is something that should do in the coming years can we say that people will always be needed for those frontline jobs those those working with their hands kind of jobs they cant really be automator telework out of. Yeah absolutely that there will be many jobs it will not be automated right so i think it will be a transitional say which can take and 1520 years we want it which we will need a lot of many of this sort of management but the question is what do we do with this so i think we have to guarantee that these people are able to return and say we took places but also we need to be able to believe you are able to move to a situation where they can move so thats why you have skilling and risk killing hiring prince shields to move to different positions example will be at the center of the debate and press up in 3 countries to to achieve all right the crisis that still developing right now of course some long term questions are correspond with o. E. C. D. Breaking down for us thank you very much. Right now its time for your questions the part of the show where our sort of science correspondent there claims and theres the questions you posted to our you tube channel over here derek. How long is the incubation period for covert 19. Most of the reasons this virus turned into such a big problem so quickly it was not just that its pretty contagious the corona virus that causes sars for example seems to be just as contagious as sars curve to if not even a little more so but that epidemic petered out and the pathogen basically disappeared after around 6 months so so why didnt the same happen with this virus well to answer that we have to look at their respective incubation period stats the amount of time that passes between the moment of infection and the time when a patient begins to show symptoms im so in other words the moment when you know that person is sick in both Diseases HealthAuthorities Say the incubation period is similar ranging from between 2. 14 days and with an average of about 5 days the interesting thing though is not the length of the incubation period but what happens during it with sars patients generally hit their peak infectious period after they have begun to show symptoms and they didnt really seem to pass the virus along to others during the incubation period when they were unaware that they were carrying the pathogens so we were able to contain that virus effectively with isolation and quarantine in measures thats a key difference between it and source code to with covert 19 Research Shows that patients are contagious or maybe even most contagious in the last couple of days of their income beijing period so before they begin to show symptoms themselves and experts say those few critical days are one of the big reasons that will be unable to get to over 1800 control without a vaccine.

Its 2016 and Karen Wilson Mccoy a geriatric nurse from North Carolina wants to cast her vote in the Midterm Election the good of the. Pageant bad risk that lives the lives of citizens 60 british follow up to have sat in the senate at 9 something was up because i got to reregister because im im you know were in a system theyre not making a 0 is just tiresome you know. The question is are u. S. Elections truly democratic. Give it victory for this. Its actually an attempt to limit political participation. And these are of course all very powerful players with money expanded we gave a parson advantage probably one of the biggest ever in history thats how Voter Suppression. Surveys indicate that Many Americans have lost faith in democracy and the problems involved are reflected in this years Election Campaigns. In the us electoral system is based on a number of controversial rules political strategists will do just about anything to help their party win a majority of votes including trying to change those rules to defeat their opponents and a candidate for president can win a majority of the popular vote and nevertheless emerged as the loser. Was new york nov 8th 2016 by late evening it was clear that donald trump would become the next president of the United States. Was either. Supporters of the democratic candidate Hillary Clinton were stunned particularly since she had won a majority of the popular vote. Clinton had 2800000 more votes than trump but her opponent won the election. I think its very difficult to call yourselves a democracy. And believe that the people rule when you have a system that. Is essentially making it more difficult for the person. To win the presidency that the most people what if you were drawing this system up today you would never come up with this crazy convoluted scheme. The Electoral College system was written into the u. S. Constitution more than 200 years ago opponents have never been able to find enough votes in congress to change it what was the original purpose of the Electoral College as a democrat if you look at this from a theoretical point of view as well but its quite interesting on guns the authors of the constitution evidently afraid of mob rule and exit shove their voters supposedly let their emotions take over before they dont make rational decisions. And thats why the authors created the Electoral College to serve as a buffer through college. The college chooses the president after the popular vote is counted each state has a specific number of electors based on the size of its congressional delegation its important to note that the electoral votes are not distributed according to percentages the party that gets a majority of votes in a state is then credited with all the electoral votes in that state. So a state is then listed as either for the democrats or the republicans the winner takes it all. The Political Parties go all out to take the socalled swing states where the vote is expected to be close in a tight race these states can make a big difference. President ial candidates often focus their campaigns on just a few key states because the results can have a major impact on the outcome of the vote. After the republicans lost the 2008 president ial. Then they started working on a strategy to take back the white house and both houses of congress. Rock obama became americas 1st black president winning both the popular vote and the Electoral College plus the democrats held on to the house and senate. Its like looking at the footage from november 2008 and their early years in office and edwards bringing back sort of the hopelessness of the Republican Party at that time. The turnout in 2008 hit a record high and obama won the election with just under 53 percent of the popular vote. Several states switched from republican shown here in red to democrat shown in blue. After the election the republicans launched a campaign to win back the states that theyd lost it was called red map. What republicans determined to do with red map was actually a really ingenious and savvy plan. They knew that state legislatures after the 2010 election would begin drawing the electoral maps that. The next decades politics in this country. Would be fought on. A man who came up with the red map concept was a leading Republican Party strategist. Christiane kosky drafted a 2 step plan and convinced Party Leaders to approve it the focus of the project was state legislatures. But we were able to do was to bring resources to races that normally wouldnt see him. All. The partners. Spent. Much of that money came from. Including the Koch Brothers and the. American. Republicans were able to. Attack ads on democrat candidates a form of advertising that is intended to show a political ad. Possible. Attack your opponent. The strategy worked in the 2010 Midterm Elections the republicans took back control of the house of representatives. Before the election republicans governed 15 states afterwards that number rose to a total of 27. 00 a massive realignment of political power. After the 2010 elections. Every 10 years. That is required by law states reach draw the boundaries of the. District has approximately the same number of people. But its a system thats. Politicians who. Manipulate. This practice was named after elbridge governor of massachusetts in the early 1900. District boundaries the borders of one district were so twisted that someone like salamander and their name was attached to it the process has become much more sophisticated. Well i mean we have the ability now to look at any voter in america and have a fairly good idea in the coming years how theyre likely to vote even within the swing voters you can grade by you know an affinity score that is done by a sophisticated data modeling so you have to take. These softwares and draw these lines and you have to go ok im going down maple street take a left onto elm street or do i take a right to jones avenue. Invariably every turn you may. Is going to have some parts of. The practice is called gerrymandering the borders are drawn strategical
