are in a case where civilians have been compensated civilians are we listen to the only music you hear is your own the most beautiful music in the world and silence we meet with global news makers and talk about the stories that matter on the ground 0 . for me ok you're watching the stream on today's episode we look into the unusual and much criticized approach to current cutting with coverage 90 that tanzania has taken in east africa let me give you a little idea starting off with some headlines from the past year tanzania coverage 1000 response government accused of a coverup. after dest w.h.o. urges tanzania to shake up the data and take action no data release from tanzania

seems a pool of 2020 we move on tanzania president raises doubts over cove exact scenes one more headline that brings us right up to date tanzania's president now admits the country has a covert 19 top end of the saying that tanzania was covert phrase some while back how i want to start this conversation is from a tanzanian knowledge in the u.k. who has lost 3 family members in tanzania because at 19 she was too scared to show her face years wide about repercussions that might happen to her family members back home have a listen to this what i think people need to understand about this is who i am and . since carrie of those are her most 3 members of my family including my father the poor lost last week

i want to honor her on camera he struggled to kill an infusion the who clipped to spoil him there is no testing for code available in terms. and the doctor tried everything he was given different turn to biotech. in the hope that something will. and he died. so would ease going on in tanzania and we have 2 guests flee he will help us understand the strategy that the government is using because uncovered 19 only have to frankly have and spent delta franky just south to 1000 national audience tell them who you are and what you did . yes my name is dr frank mention the region from tanzania i'm a physician who is based in atlanta georgia and i've been following the whole bit in 1900 makes sense and hit east africa last much of the 2020.

welcome to the screening introduce yourself to a global audience and tell them what you do when he was. there or about. their memories from time zone or what the current 3 are you leaving this read it in its programming. are going for events and friends only are you going to before. you're from germany and we're going to do whatever i can do from using the various ways that are underground reporting and there are my websites are. thank you so much for joining us but dr frank those are our 2 panelists they have expert knowledge you chivas you've got questions you have experiences. stories that you want to share you know what so you can jump right into a comment section here when you chip in we're doing our best to evolve in the show i want to start letting you choose but back here on my laptop on twitter this is

what sweet since a mina says what covered 19 in tanzania denial from the highest office in the land is the problem if they admit there is a problem then they have to enforce knockdowns and they definitely can't give handouts their population who won't have any income people will write no government wants so in a nutshell according to this tweet that's the problem right there the government can't afford to have put because the protocols don't different what he said. i. need to give the listeners a little bit of a background on the situation in tanzania and we really have to go back to 2020 when the pandemic when we had our 1st of 1000 positive patients in tanzania and when that happened actually the government actually did take corrective measures including the encouraging people time to wash their hands with running

water and soap and also decrease. gatherings as a matter of fact the schools were closed and many of the large gatherings actually were sort of like you know pulled back and i think all sort of what happened is as many countries in africa we didn't really see the same level of deaths meaning mortality compared to other parts of the country and by and large in tanzania the pandemic will shell say it was on the milder side compared to the desk who is seeing in america and europe and china for that matter and i think of that is probably what made the government at least we feel sort of begin to pull back on those measures and remember during that time we're also going through an election period and similar to the country i'm in right now in the united states that election politics made politics even much more difficult and we've seen this across all countries in the world but i think what's different to this particular season right now we have probably dealing with

a new variant most of us feel it may be the south african barons and for that particular part many of our population a really being affected severely and so those methods that sort of. ok since july or june of last year through like november 'd simply not working and i think this is why i. said we're seeing many deaths. let's talk about some of these methods because dr frank obviously he's led by the science to some of these methods. to medicine so mr newby mistry day bouts of. prayer. is never wasted but to advance cause $1000.00 that's a that's a tricky strategy to be using tell us about how that just meant being dealing with in terms of educating the population keeping them 6. point here in fact if you want to be frank really frank or if you're saying there's no government acting in terms

of any. of it. there is a one there president who is working on behalf of everybody in this sort of final decision maker ever so whatever but decision that was made in many scenes june 20th 20 should be. leading to the decision maker and so because as you know as it is a theory has been leading a country in a way if it cannot be criticized yes for some people who are trained by medical officers who are trying to encourage people to follow you know that aggression that i've been set up by. 'd oh he has been in denial since june you know far he has been telling the paper and in fact there's been using churches on the bits are we saying there are for 3 days of prayer go greeted tongues that are already

from tanzania so he put the lacs to because these are the various coming from the most person in the country and if he is saying it from the politics of the church who is would say no because these trying to you know invoke the name of god and trying to say god is omnipotent presence i'm sure you know everybody unless there's no court on line terms i mean what is. result of. any to create good on in commission a period for months. of course we're going to experience in graves but because ordinary culture of silence that wasn't being incorporated by the president in it in his horses. dr i respect him to doctors by the governor will never be worth that because you're a very very feel for their lives but then tell you the army recruiting people they're trying but now that there's become even more worse because more preprogrammed dying that you've just come to

a level whereby even the senior officers are going to produce themselves and if there isn't a point where by this very just leave the drugs were inviting him to the church for care of the country but there is no problem from going to. our margin to open and you know like me training him being there is covered and you have to take measures i mean push on me push on adulterant you have been very generous with your analysis of where tanzania is right now and saying because there's a new variant we need different methods but i want to show you some of the methods and you can tell me whether you feel that this is useful for instance it is time for these missteps health saying the government doesn't have plans to pick your coverage 1000 vaccines at this point encouraging people to wash their hands take natural remedies this is a gene to jinja remedy is a press conference and people outside of tanzania were making fun of things they were not saying that this was a good strategy to be telling the public

a people are gathering on the beaches to outside the palace mosque being cool and so she's distancing isn't being applied. elsewhere around the world we know that this is problematic it's times in the some special kind of place when you don't need to do any $1000.00 political appointees isn't the schools in yes. absolutely absolutely tons and near as humans like everywhere else in the world so we are not immune we're not immune to the virus and actually the virus doesn't really care where you're from or what citizenship is because it's just basically needs that human as a host so i will absolutely agree with my panelists that really the messaging from the government has been indeed very problematic i'm just going to say that from the front so mystically one introducing doubts whether or not this coded all of that misses the makes even the basic measures that we should take which is wearing masks washing our hands and basically decreasing gatherings people have just been

ignoring it so i think like when you go from the very top and you say there is no cause of it then it's very difficult for public health officials to actually. encourage people to actually take the measures and i completely disagree with using herbal remedies as a potential prevention for all of moderate or severe cases of what i usually tell people is if you do get the mild form of the remedies can help in the same way you may get a mild cold and you can actually use a little lemon or honey in your tea and that's fine but once you get to moderate cases of cold it where you require oxygen you need supportive breathing none of these herbal remedies are going to help and many people have been using the steam inhalation otherwise known as new in kiswahili and really that is not going to help you when you have a moderate to severe case of cold with so i think downplaying the problem i think has been probably one of the bigger problems because basically we cannot we cannot

even put the basic measures not even about money i mean most of us can afford cloth masks most of us can afford to wash our hands and many people actually did that back in april and may so it's not that the tanzanians don't want to follow. the rules or the instructions from the government so i think the gap in that is is it is probably the crux of the matter. let's hear from president john mark. january 27 way he said look there is covert it's in tanzania but the reason covers in tanzania is because it's coming from people coming from abroad bringing it into the country have a nice. well there are some tanzanians who recently traveled abroad in search of coronavirus vaccines these people brought the virus into our country when they returned let us stand for this vaccine is not good at all the.

finding of the world war we need to put god 1st in fighting against this dangerous disease but at the same time take health precautions to protect ourselves against this disease as advised by our health experts we have lived for over a year without the virus and the good evidence is most of you here don't wear masks . present john mather throughly excuse my mispronunciation just a little bit earlier and but i've got some you tube comments for you i want you to bounce off them very quickly that this is joseph melissa perhaps what the president is trying to do he's trying to present havoc panic and fear and a quick response but go ahead. here is causing harm it is the problem isn't there you go after what. telling people that there is a disease that they're going to encounter there's another big enough to make them for comfort it isn't but i didn't get through from lying to them that there is not easy and letting them you know

a contract that is east is done for mountaineering. that's the worst there are some bridges or this is some of the this this is taoist study says it should be noted tanzania is not denying the existence of coverage 19 but it has controlled it from the 1st wave to the present. this feels to me like its p.r. aspect of their party and things it has not controlled that is enough which it was saying it doesn't exist because for you to to me able to control it is easiest you have to work your problem if there is a problem and then you work up to control the problem you don't even trust the inflictions how do you control it you don't let the paper get you you know how to convert it to tell people about this period israel has a website where you get is hardly confirming. this is a quick frustration because we've we've got

a lot of people who are tuning in you tube and and they're not necessarily using the science to instill in them dr frank let me just put one more to you this is from baracoa tanzania did not ignore any of the scientific methods are gone combating public 19. the ministry of health is always educating people uncovered 19 prevention. ok doctrine. just say. the ministry and health authorities have been speaking in very general terms as a matter of fact that is also one of the problems where we speak about is we speak iran the disease so we'll have what we call this euphemisms you have a viral pneumonia you have a very severe pneumonia you have difficulty breathing. you have pneumonia cutty so miss we've come up with all manners of or all will say just the communicable diseases so basically talk about inventing general terms as i'm almost like saying

we take precautions against infectious diseases but the major infectious disease that is killing people right now is called 19 and this is not something that's particular distance and it's everywhere i mean is killing people and in the united states i mean today we may actually cross something like 500000 people a huff a 1000000 people so we can't just talk about infectious disease in general say yes they have given that advice in general but we have to be a lot of people are the one we have 3 methods actually work against kobe 19 masks washing your hands and avoiding large crowds and i just want to say this one thing us as physicians in america for 9 months before the vaccines came in december the only 3 ways in which we could prevent infections of ourselves were indeed wearing a mask washing your hands and avoiding large crowds so we know that these actually methods work and these methods thankfully they're actually affordable to our people so i have actually what i would say is i would ask our president to just tell

people to wear a mask tomorrow and i'll tell you 60000000 people will actually do it because they follow him that closely so he can actually turn the switch and just say i need everybody to our mass tomorrow and if you don't wear a mask you're going to find i guarantee you everybody tomorrow find a mask and immediately we're going to start basically cutting down transmission so . i think it's actually possible and i want to say also that it seems the government is slowly making the turn around and i grant so this is a it's a great thing but we need to move faster because again as we know you need to take stern measures to cut down transmission if we cut down transmission into through weeks we actually are going to see a decrease in severe cases and actually in the end save lives so i think the slow turning around is also a little bit frustrating because i just one of the come out and say i want everybody to pour a mask whether it's a class mask whether it's a surgical mask with. i need everybody to a mask and if he wears

a mask i guarantee you the entire nation is going to follow suit and we're going to begin to be able to address this problem. i he were essentially about the president slowly coming around to the idea of the actively talk about having 19 actively pushing citizens to to protect themselves and i'm wondering if it came to push came from the w.h.o. have a look here am i not taught this is dr tetris he's the head of the world health organization he she's a statement about tanzania and the danger if as a country tanzania does nothing not just to its citizens but also to its neighbors is going to mean that he this is what the minister says it took you too long to make this statement but thank you what would you do the government refuses to do what you ask what happens to people continue to suffer every day with no end in sight tanzania nice matter and spirit what do you think the internet.

no i think the president will keep changing from time to time the president is a certain pleaser type of person or the various wrong. so he is going to must endure and if we expect that he was going to change but it will take very long because he has already said there is no coverage so he was trying to think hard way now contradict myself and say that is covered so he's going around trying to find in the next promotion over a new a new variety and that has been brought in by people went outside and getting a relation but it was. you could see he was moving to the truth or you know going away from the denialism because the pressure has been too much especially after the bishops had betrayed his cause and they started themselves telling their believers to take action and now and though doubly so i mean and of course some of us who have been trying to social media to sort of i can say sort of embarrassed him

because if you tell him in a very sort to a dozen reason is changing for the better and we should keep pushing for him to change and make is that like the doctor said he should be able to address the nation saying please do this take this action that they then take it. so that in this employ no we haven't really touched on the changing nature of how vocal you can be in tanzania right now can you have an opposition voices what happens if you do you have the opposition voice and enjoying an era of coverage 19 black that is very different approaches by the president other countries in other neighboring countries i'm wondering whether this recent human rights watch is is it true to be important. in the last 5 years us our freedom of expression and scenes of the media have been healing restricted in terms of me having the wrong just and worse with us last year the government past and nations which needed me

legal for people to share content online of the outbreak of a deadly or anteaters disease without the government's approval or if you do have you can be fined or in a sense to prison for at least a year they've also a restriction where media are in some cases banning and fining misogynism because they've. doesn't mask the government's narrative about those needs and others and districts white critical lest see me out of the shop information to them yes and access and this is a big problem because in the middle of a pandemic one of the most fundamental human rights that people have is access to information does a frank you've been speaking pretty free late right now on this one but you're not in tanzania would you still comfortable sent exactly what he said to us if you were in tanzania that. so i just say that my colleagues for the most part to do not feel

comfortable speaking out loud as your previous speaker said there was a law actually passed against mentioning anything about diseases of pandemic in nature and so that does restrict freedom of speech very much so and and so i would just say it is true that many physicians we have not been able to kind of get them to be on record to help us understand what's happening on the on the ground and many of the stories we end up hearing from families who obviously a once they have their loved one the last. day they're going to say what happened to their loved one and i would just say that one while we've seen many many deaths recently the most touching death has been the 'd recent opposition leader safe who was the only politician of the only government a religious or otherwise leader who actually said that he has and he's suffering

from coded and he's actually been treated for code and so that's the end of one and we've lost i don't know like countless now it's like every time on your social media there's many prominent people none but that just goes to show he is the end of one of the entire nation in the last 2 months was actually mean able to speak up and he is the 2nd the 1st vice president and that's a very very high person and it just goes to show that you know only somebody of that caliber perhaps only that somebody of that stature has the freedom to share publicly what he is a suffering and unfortunately we lost him to this disease as well. doesn't have to see this this is from felix and it's interesting when you don't have a public who have been telling the time be safe where i am are such a distance and i'm wondering if you can thoughts like this this is felix felicis tanzania has resisted most measures and we haven't seen a crazy surge of faces from that hard to explain but he looks like they're doing

just fine but eastern if you're not testing if you're not sure if you're not counting the deficit's country casper kindness pneumonia guess how would you know how tanzania is doing so so knowledgeable so i will tell felix that was true from may through october for 5 months i say for 5 months that was probably true because we know that there was a lot of mixing during the elections both on the opposition side and the ruling party and so there are large large crowds there was a ton a ton of mixing and we didn't hear it however when it started to be 'd really december you cannot say that things are fine in tanzania i don't think anybody will agree with you that things are fine in tanzania since then and i think the last point is that we know also that the cold it comes in waves even in america in america goes like a 3rd wave so the same transit is fine is just fine for the moment but we are right now going to a crank and what america is going to finance it. i will nice to meet john.

thank you very much for your comments and. i'll see you next to.

the middle east. when freedom of the press is under threat demonstrators and journalists are dealing with internet outages police intimidation and charges of said dish to shift the focus covering the way the news is covering the listening posts on a. how does a team from a smaller league draw the bigger crowds. why does the irish flag fly hawley's a disco 6 club. what is it about celtic that has the world over here in the mall politics and football on the will stomp of the oppressed on the run one of.

the fun to make football. but i'll just see. what's most important to me is talking to people understanding what they are going through here and i just we believe everyone has a story worth hearing. us security officials admit being unprepared when donald trump supporters storm the capital and say warnings about the threat weren't taken seriously. so robert your jobs are alive my headquarters here and also coming up. i. said back in efforts to end the crisis in myanmar indonesia's foreign minister counsels a trip.
