Another Strict Lockdown in france, fighting indifference to corona in turkey. But our journey begins in the usa. The city of el paso, texas, is one of the countrys corona hot spots stretching hospitals and Funeral Homes there to their limits. At basle is on the border with mexico, but no one is talking about the wall anymore. The pandemic is raging here. Numbers are soaring, right . Now we have about 241. 00 inpatient, coburg, 19 cases. Now out of control, with about 45 days ago, we only have 30. But a lot of those people that you see going into these tents will, i mean, they will wind up inside our hospital. Have authorities are already arranging to move patients to other cities. If the hospitals become overwhelmed, planning for months of strain, we have to make sure that we are ready for this winter. Not only here in el paso, but also around the country. Resources are finite. There is already a back luck in dealing with the dead. Referee generated more outside the hospitals serve as makeshift more to aris. Funeral homes in the past so are so overwhelmed that families sometimes have to wait a week to bury a loft. One funeral director 7 selves are struggling to cope earlier. In this case is more yet it was the level of stress is very high because it is not comparable to how it used to be. Some months ago we had around 30 services per month. Right now we are having around 18 regions where this is where the economic effects of the pandemic and most clearly be seen downtown. El paso seems abandoned by some money of all works just around the corner for him, the president ial race is not over yet. North of President Biden is not going to be the president of the immigrants. Going to be donald trump. He feared his business might be hit by the pen demick, but now he has orders until july next year. Republicans, he says, are good for the construction sector. Despite his support for trump, he has his own opinion on covert 1000. 00, specially after he tested positive. Everyone is going to get the virus and were going to fill up the hospitals. Testing is one of the crucial instruments to avoid to this problem. We get cordie mates 10 Testing Centers in the past. So he works for a private company that is being paid by the state of texas. That his main concern in the pandemic is not political. I dont have fully knowledge of what joe biden is planning to do in his administration, but until now we havent had any kind of difficulties with the current administration. I dont think its a matter of resources. The main concern is how to communicate to the people. What to do or not . Trump supporters biden supporters to different sides that seem to come together in el paso. 10 European Countries have reacted to the drastic increase in chronic infections with curfews and lockdowns. Frances new regulations are strictest of all impressions from paris even under lockdown, the french are taking to the streets as opposed to during the 1st 19 wave schools here are staying open, but teachers dont feel safe. We have between 20. 25 pupils per class. We are trying to impose social distancing, but in our classrooms, we can, it may still have a distance of 40 centimeters between each pupil cannot tell that shes the most. Simmers your senator hopeful said. We were hoping the government would green for senator kerry measures, but they havent or at least not sufficiently so we dont understand that. We fear the government is abandoning us to lash out. They are getting support from their pupils who have been blocking school and transfers and posting videos online that show a lack of social distancing. Also unlike during the 1st cave in 1000 ways, more shops open and large parts of frances industry are still up and running. And yet, this is still one of europes strictest. Lockdowns, with people only allowed out one hour a day and only within a radius of one kilometer of their homes. Most french think the government was right to confine them, but many criticize the method. I dont understand why big supermarkets are no longer allowed to sell books, clothes or toys, just because small shops that sell the same things are closed. The government is just not good at explaining itself, and this will cause lots of unemployment and bankruptcy strickly. Why are they leaving big supermarkets open about closing smallest megastores often take in hundreds of clients and small shops, only one on t. V. They are much safer. And yet the government is staying the course. Even though the spread of the epidemic has been slowing down. In turkey, despite an increase in infections, theres been widespread indifference toward the corona, regulations. The government is trying to change that the city of 60000000. 00 in which the corona virus is spreading. And one of the teams that are fighting to stop it was the last image on is a dentist, at least she was until the pandemic started it. Shes been a contact traces since march 1 of around 35000 in turkey. And if youre in your book, seen from here, the size of the city can be scary. And i sometimes wonder where this endemic is headed. But as a doctor, i have a responsibility. I try to think positively and knowing that i help people this would motivates me and keeps me going there on the tracing team manages around 10 house calls a day. They work in shifts almost around the clock. The goal is always the same track down test and isolate those who have been exposed to someone with 90 and all of this as quickly as possible. Googles 1st case today is the collects is all family. The mother recently tested positive. Now the father has symptoms true will put, you call it will close up closer if the test is positive, google will also try to trace his yes, the whole family has to stay at home for the next 14 days. After each visit, protective clothing has to be changed. Job is time consuming and strenuous, but its worth it. She says. As in many other countries, peoples vigilance here has slackened in a recent survey. More than half of the respondents in turkey said the coronavirus does not affect a worry them and critics also blame the government for this lack of concern. Because the Health Ministry no longer reports the number of new infections every day. But only the number of symptomatic patients john uncuffed, angelo, of the opposition c. H. P. Says the government is hiding. The real scope of the pandemic is thought will because will cost so slim. Here in istanbul alone, the number of cases is 20 times higher than the tally from the ministry of health. Im saying this with regret, but the figures and information we have given are not correct. Were going to go google an image on his on her next house call. She does not want to take part in political discussions. She knows the debate about the numbers, but doesnt want to get involved. That more and more people disregard the coronavirus rules frustrates her winning, which is surely good. It makes me sad. We are putting so much effort into this. But whats the point . If so many act as if nothing can happen to them . And if this doesnt change, we wont see an end to this pandemic sticking. It is a good hopes that she will soon be able to work as a dentist again. But she also knows that her new job will be needed for quite a while. Germany is currently in the midst of a partial lockdown. Schools. Stores and businesses are open, but the government has restricted social contact among people. Many oppose the measure. Linda alexanderplatz in the popular areas for shopping in strolling a safe distance is not guaranteed safe. Politicians think thats why there are compulsory mosques even outside thats finished its own for i find it terrible. Why should i put on a mosque out here now . When nobodys working behind me, you have to be able to bring fresh air. Im with mine at all. No one i do not find it ok in moscow to not put on in certain places a minute because i mean that its really going outdoors. What is actually supposed to happen in public buildings. Im just trying everywhere, but not here in a public square. And you can cut to politicians, need to explain more clearly what theyre doing to combat the gun. Think in my view, the whole thing doesnt only depend on the politicians. The whole thing is, a social g. T. Like many others in a democracy, people have to support it in some form or another. In the law. We will have to live with this far as somehow, and we actually need a social debate, how its going to look at exactly what can go through both mobile storage because dont talk so much, something has to be pushed through. Now will it go on like this, with the wave get higher and higher. And of course one has to austin question, what we still have to do to reduce due for worst news and what did not mom doing even more hardly possible for the rest cafes in the capital. They have to close for a month. Again, this can be seen almost 5 kilometers away in the trendy district of friedrichs, on there are usually hundreds of people in this public strict tourists, but also as i think everyone here is not affected is fine with it. So i dont have any big problems to do with out now for a while, but also because i dont walk in the Hospitality Industry and have nothing to do that. But i can understand that people are angry and secure and that it directly affects them professionally. Like thats left, but will they show up the same time . Most restaurants have invested a lot of money in hygiene measures, some officer to go to at least a little money. Were all in this together. It was the slogan on social media. Back when the corona pandemic started around the world, it is since then become clear that the poor are suffering economic inequality that to reinforce beneath the waves, norway wants to fight Climate Change by storing Carbon Dioxide emissions in the ocean floor. Problem solved. The project promises to be a lucrative business. But critics of the Technology Fear the new complements and are calling for a return to natural field to storage. To d. W. The us census of the day, the need to keep a hold for all the action on the 4th time from the bottom of the bell is at the last dragon. As word has called a halt. 3 years to the real books on welcome to global 3000. This week we focus on one of our worlds biggest problems, inequality societies, where the gap is huge between rich and poor, and where many people are being left behind. And that was before the pandemic. We go to indonesia, which due to the coronavirus, lockdown is currently in the midst of a baby boom. Its making life tough for many mothers. And in the face of this rising inequality, we ask, what can be done about it and discover that we can learn a lot from europe. Why . In many societies today, theres a sharp divide between rich and poor, between those who have and those who dont. And despite living in the same country, these different groups often feel little connection to each other. U. S. President elect joe biden, put it like this. This gap in escape me. Its having the effect of pulling us apart. The numbers, say it for themselves. The worlds richest 10 percent own 83 percent of Global Wealth and the wealthiest one percent owns an amazing 44 percent of global assets. Nor is there much hope on the horizon. In many countries, the Global Pandemic has widened the gap between rich and poor. Around half of the worlds 3300000000 workers have either already lost their jobs or are at risk of doing so. Foreign, like im thinking, it goes without saying that all people are morally equal. But that appears naive or even cynical in light of the vast and enduring inequalities between rich and poor in countries around the world. When the coronavirus pandemic erupted, it was often claimed that it hits all social classes equally hard. Some politicians and celebrities even went so far as to claim it would help promote equality in society. A bathrobe clip from madonna is just one example but is that true or not . I cant think of a single country where it is in use or start a conflict or want that would mean the richest, lose on the poorest and least affected. What we see is the exact opposite of Public Health researcher Richard Wilkinson studies the social and Health Effect of income inequality. What has been happening during and because of the pandemic corresponds to a central thesis of a book. He coauthored the spirit level, published in 2009. Life is much shorter in lower social class. And in britain, if you take the richest and poorest 10 percent, you find perhaps a 10 year difference in life expectancy. And i sometimes say, the biggest social injustice in modern societies are human rights abuse. In countries with high levels of social inequality, the rates of covered 19 infections and deaths are also high. The gini index is a measure of income inequality. South africa and brazil are both very high up in the rankings, meaning they have some of the highest rates of inequality. According to this measure, the United States has one of the highest rates among developed nations. The virus has hit, especially hard. Ellen works in berlin for oxfam, an ngo that focuses on alleviating poverty worldwide. The pandemic has hit in the world that was already characterized by massive inequalities driven by the Climate Crisis and poor working conditions. Of our Analysis Shows that the pandemic is merely making preexisting inequalities, even more extreme, and hits the poorest the hardest for the tough and learned what makes countries marked by extreme inequality so vulnerable, more vulnerable than even some of the least developed countries. It seems one contributory factor is the interaction between rich and poor. The 1st person to die of covert 19 in Rio De Janeiro was a 60 3 year old domestic worker. She caught it from her employer, a very wealthy woman who had been infected with the virus in europe and passed it on there are many such stories, Domestic Workers that contract the virus and introduce it to their families and neighborhoods where it can cause devastation and living at very close causes drives infection among people who have no way to protect themselves. Right, there is still into action between rich and poor households, which also spits the virus. The difference is that the rich seek medical treatment while the poor often dont all cant. Statistics show that the poor have been disproportionately hit by the pandemic, both regard to their health and their opportunity to earn a living. According to the gini index, south africa is the worlds most unequal country. Millions of deliberate found no work at all for weeks on end during the lockdown. Many others also lost their jobs. Hungry and angry people took to the streets to protest. With looking at years of calling our way back to where we were. And we were already in quite a bad situation with regard to the labor market. And so its just very, very scary for, for the structure for the, for the less skilled south africa. The World Bank Estimates that covert 1000 could push as many as 150000000 people around the globe into extreme poverty. And theres no evidence that the disease is an equalizer, not even in developed nations in the wealthy and knighted state. More and more people are so desperate that theyre lining up for food donations. Aviv 19 has been likened to a knicks ray revealing fractures in the fragile skeleton of the societies we have builds while we are all floating on the same sea. It is clear that somebody in super yachts with others are clinging to the lifting debris. What can be done to reduce inequality in some scholar, say governments around the world need to introduce a minimum wage, implement Affordable Health care for all raise tax rates for the wealthy and giant tech companies, which are doing great business in the pandemic. And affirm the importance of the welfare state i see one could thing possibly resulting from the crisis that the state and its actions will be less discredited. With what is the both is a state supposed to do right now. We dont want big grand projects ever got nothing to do with empowering people. So what the pandemic has made very clear is that if people have basic rights in prayers to quality, you know, and quality education and the ability to actually do their best as individuals. Thats also the key, surely empowering yourself is a very to cope with or even if governments and societies commit to reducing inequality, it could take decades to achieve significant progress. Some inequality scholars say, even now individuals can make a difference less selfseeking, more solidarity and empathy with others. The pandemic may have brought out the best in many people. I think as well as reducing the differences in the short term, we have to do things about the trust among us a more equal to that is more cohesive. More public spirited, more concerned with is better in many different ways. The current pandemic will not be the last crisis the world faces. But what seems clear is that more equitable societies are also more resilient in many ways, and thus better prepared to face the future. And this resilience is far more than just a theory. Finland, for example, boasts one of the narrowest gaps between rich and poor in the world. And so far, its managed to navigate the pandemic fairly on scathed. In fact, now whether e. U. Country has such low infection rates, finance governments headed by Prime Ministers son a marine places, great emphasis on welfare policies. In south america to one country has proved exemplary cheering the coronavirus crisis. Europe, why . We headed back to find out more this year has been a stressful time for the family. In montevideo. Guillermo was born 2 weeks after the start of the lockdown in itself a joyful occasion. But they couldnt share it with anyone that will get any help. Because on a christina and her husband, martine, along with the children, had to go into quarantine. There was a suspected case of covert 19 and their circle of friends. They were there in the boat also, it was terrible for us because the grandmothers couldnt come. No one follows all my brothers. No one could come and the baby, it was really tough. Only gradually were they allowed to visit the following months were full of uncertainty. As youre a great went into lockdown on a christina, works as a psychologist and noticed the strain on her patients. It was a constant climate
