astra zeneca has called the 1000 vaccine after a small number of cases of blood clots but denmark's health ministry says it's not yet clear whether the costs are meant to the vaccine paul brennan has more from london it's ironic perhaps that while other countries are sort of shutting down the vaccination programs albeit temporarily in norway denmark germany is screaming out for more vaccines and trying to get more vaccines into the arms of its of its citizens so it is curious it's an indication i think of the not exactly joined up thinking that is taking place across the european continent across the european union with these different countries taking very different approaches in relation to a reopening and b. the vaccination programs. japan is marking 10 years since a devastating earthquake and tsunami hit its northeastern coast entry gets meltdowns at a nuclear power plant 16000 people were killed and 2500 on may. seeing the foreign

a roaming correspondent i am constantly on the go covering topic politics to completely change our mentally ill of this town is like nothing you've seen. all we want to know is how did the people we revisit places take even when there are no international headlines. really invest in them and that's a privilege as a journalist. higher for me ok and your in the stream it's nearly a year since the world health organization declared what has turned out to be a devastating covert 19 pound demick today we all sky global panel how the coronavirus has changed this and you can join in the conversation too obviously i'm going to be focusing on family work and community tell us about your pandemic experiences and i live you tracked.

more than a 117000000 people worldwide have been sickened by code of 19 and 2600000 people have died the fine demick is the most deadly since 918 and it has changed our lives in ways that would have been on thinkable just over a year ago joining us to reflect on this challenging year is to do she is a clinical psychologist in durban south africa sidhwani is also a clinical psychologist she joins us from mumbai india and erika felix is a psychology professor at the university of california santa barbara hello everybody i am going to give you ladies one would i want your instant reaction this is my mood truck i want to know where your head is right now. covered 19 1st thought. i think for me the word unprecedented has really defined

what 19 presidents have to rob. because of 19 heroes and i'm certain a team ok erika revealing the line in the. wow ok now i know where your moods are at right now let's start with family life and how it's changed for you in the past year he's jason story i was one of the 1st people in the united states to get covert 1000 i had it last march and that up in the hospital when i couldn't breathe without oxygen had to go back to the hospital 6 weeks later with painful complications and my lungs wasn't till about mid july when i really felt better took about 4 months to get over it took a huge toll on me physically also mentally took a huge toll my wife were to take care of me the whole time and one of biggest worries that impacted me and cost me some friends people who even after they saw what i went through still think this is all overblown or fake which i still don't

understand erica's chasing misspeaking that i can see you nodding it was obviously resonating what he went through and the level of grief in the united states as the u.s. keeps counting the number of people who have died from what is down to the country to living in. yeah the impact on family has been huge the people most directly impacted your gas and just having to adjust and adapt and take so much more her plate but also the family is having to change and adapt in living with each other like i'm a university professor are students and had to go home and so families are welcoming back adult children that they thought had moved out people have been moving from urban cities to back home to their family of origin just to be able to pour into you know or center and place it in places where they get

a little more outdoor space so it's just been turbulent and the grief. just how do you prove it or losing a family member to cohabit also missed last school. changes in jobs a lot of businesses it's been massive so when i think about i think about how powerful those connections are will throw money the family is so caught connecting your family call that what happens when you have a cell phone helped out and something like public 19 how is indian family life changed. so i think that are 2 important aspects you know you know initially with the lockdown coming in peace all 3 generations of family vehicle sitting together in wary clothes new tools so the levels of trust ration angle were very high because they were space constrained and with the lockdown prolonging pro couple of months we saw

a lot of you leaving this happening so yes we lost the connectivity we lost there was a lot of grief coming in there was a sudden panic in the atmosphere we didn't know what was quoted 19 to a large population in india is also you know not had the former school so for them to understand what this lie this is it's very transparent you can't see it you know is it actually true or no and so there was a lot of panic and chaos in the community so it took a lot of dying for the government to sort of you know help or to social media as to yes this is a virus rioja to save your lives that i'm awfully wired but the entire process was you know took a lot of lot of time families you know went into children men into online schooling more still the kids do not have real formal gadgets you know i bet schools were not equipped to go into a 9th schooling so unlike the u.s. and on around the world you know interest in india is very big sort of

a personal level and so a lot of schools took a lot of time to start the education back on. to just thinking about life and right now compared to life in devon and you're looking at the family. well i think mostly it's been shifting roles though moms that have to be home school teachers dads that have to do different things but it's very much the same as erica and and shot as experiences people have had to learn and change but i think the difference with south africa is that this is not our 1st huge social destructive experience in the sense that the pandemic is just army in living memory that there had destructive experience we've had as south africans we've had a whole hiv pandemic in south africa which destructed our lives and shifted family roles and then most people in living memory have lived through a transition in

a party so i think south africans are kind of adaptable and can do things on the run but even this pandemic has. i think shifted and challenge people's looks ability how they are able to change and shift between community whole family and their different roles i think i think the shifting and changing of roles has been the most challenging i would love ladies for you to listen to must hear that decide. listen to me here and then respond right off the back of her she speaks about greece here take a look there has been a dramatic increase in complex belief here in this garden pandemic one out of 3 americans has lost someone beautiful with 19 globally traditional mooning luci would have been disrupted if you do poorly did precautions many even back

a little guilty of having transmitted corbet 19 to the deceased still left the social support required during these trying times the the some of the factors that have complicated because already difficult grieving process. yeah i think i completely agree but tell you no because you need india we are you which country would get to the chills to the guys different religions and each state and each religion has its own way of grieving and that the long process over 20 the process of leaving is extremely important and i think we all waited we lost that initially you were not allowed to accompany you know the disease to the morgue and that was extremely distressed would go up and the people say oh you know people it was a lot of stigma not to touch the body you know what are the last rites to the body and i think this led to a lot of trauma you know a lot of lives so i think using that and die of ritual which helps the community to

born sharing is healing and i think we've lost that. i am going to talk about what's next because working in a pandemic and a lot down heart it's an understatement economist diane lane is particularly concerned about the impact on women. so a lot of women are market work has been disrupted by the pandemic because women tend to worry that human intensity types of jobs in the human intensive industries so leisure hospitality housing education services those jobs are fortunately are also for fortunately tend to be hard time jobs women choose those jobs especially working models for the flexibility of schedule but those jobs don't tend to come with benefits because they're part time so they don't come without insurance they don't come with a paid leave. one of the shocking stats that's come out of the impact of covert 19

on allies is how many women go all the way up and kicked out of work and they've lost their jobs this has happened from the u.s. to sap and south this is happening around the wealth erica he saw what happened yes like in september kids went back to school moms didn't go back to work yes many moms have chosen or feel that it forced choice honestly to have to take care of their families in a way that does not allow them to work anymore and just yesterday our vice president was talking about 2500000 women and having left the workforce in the pandemic started and how that will affect our economic recovery we've all tried to be very flexible and we'd like to be. trying to just work schedules but the ultimate reality is is that the caregiving role disproportionately burdens women and they especially ones that are in that sandwich generation as we used to call it

in terms of having to teach your children at home but also have responsibilities for all their parents and so there are just such a strain on their ability to keep up their job and so they're the ones working part time they might leave and hopefully have a partner in that house but it affects our economic outlook too much to pick up. i think it's interesting we've come across a term recently which described the story well and it's called sci fi session literally recession of women from from the environment and it speaks a lot to moving women and diversity issues back economically and socially but more than that i think again the shifting of roles for women and the gains that women have made in terms of gender diversity and a lot of research shows that women if they're more educated and better off to raise

children better these and these are again that we are losing as as a species as a as a population but in my own work which is mostly with with health care workers who are highly trained professionals i've seen. then having to cope with great grief and what erica mentioned of there being the sandwich generation having to i've heard stories of of healthcare workers having to put their they have parents in the hospital and then go to their own hospital and take care of our cover patients so it's not just the work button but it's the emotional burden as well and going back to the issue of grief as a psychologist dealing with health care workers and mostly women are presenting for a mental health care at the moment i have to say they need literally have to rewrite the book as archaeologists as mental health care professionals where to really write a book and grieve most of our work that we know one treif comes from from war or

from learning about grief post war or letting about grieve in terms of terminal illness but pandemic related grief this kind of global pervasive grief is something is something new and and as erica mentioned women suffer the greater burden it's it's really an unsocial social economic spiritual all sorts of levels and there is a town where it's a well known term that we've that i've researched in in hiv in south africa it's called the burden of care. it's really the burden of care when you say you haven't to rewrite the book what hooping end up hope what will be in those chapters that we've learned in 12 months. what will be there is eric is going to suggest that we go once and also in chapter one. gosh no i didn't hear it interrupted bat i was

just thinking greed is so many different levels of course we've had to deal with that with tension well family members getting sick or or losing loved ones but people have also had degree by variety of losses so losing a business can cause grief that economic loss the loss of dreams like delaying education or other things people wanted to do to grieve over the last leg of dance like we had students missing their graduation missing. grief over not being able to get together over holidays so it's just it cuts across levels and so we all can be greedy different things in different ways of course the people who've lost loved ones have the most. permanent big words we have a hope that some things will be restored really cuts across a variety the have different losses to some not letting you off the hook yet i do

want to know what's in your when you're rewriting the book on how to treat us as a global community what would be in that but i'll give you some thinking time here . shot at i'd love you to respond to some of this that says on small businesses are shutting down in sweden a lot of people are losing jobs homelessness mental health is staggering drug abuse governments are not paying for a nice talking about how covert it's affected all parts of our life not just our working lives she has a home to see her family in the here and then talks about the long lockdown having impacts on mental health children and young people it's like there's no part of our life that we can calm the cup of putting a little box. it hasn't been taped by thoughts yeah i think that's a very it's

a very touching story because i think we can all relate to it i've been seeing a lot of patients through the pandemic and of course being and had chemical we physically had a comforting sessions and i primarily open my clinic because we were getting very very high rates of your site and you know there was nothing that was buhl be done even the of course there were some headlines but you could see their depression angle on monger kids raising the rates of addiction have gone high also i want to point out your domestic weiland are initiating the pandemic i think that some point is we need to highlight them and you know and when you're looking at disparity in domes of gentle women did bad and do bear a lot of that part of the while and so i think that's where especially in india we have a lot of laws supporting the women but that goes rates have significantly going up in doing so drug abuse me have seen very very high rates of drug abuse among the

knee joints and this is big huge papers they haven't gone back to school or single the role the pandemic has started they don't know how to cool down our mental health programs through school but i think that isn't enough so i think there's a general loss all you know would be a hoot and i want to point out you know it is you know as a society we look condition then we had better ones of living and all that i think she'll call a pattern oh i think differently well equipped in different ways to do really adapt to you know everybody had a different groupings die. just to say for the 1st chapter in this new book that route. writing for how to cope with mass going to what would be that chapter titled i think it would be about dealing with multiple levels of grief all at the same time it's been an emotional to experience the loss of a loved one loss of

a job loss of a style of living all at the same time and it's been quite common will also have to talk about communal experience crizal not all levels of grief different types of grief experienced as a community circle etc so yeah and also anticipated grief so seem what's happening to others and know what's coming next and we haven't seen that level of anticipated grief as we've seen with this pandemic but also will have to know more about how to work globally as a community and i'm glad you spoke about not start relations but that the particular area of interest of mine and how the world is really the whole globe is really too old to to the more rise so all the attention kind of falls to the north so it's it's a term i've used before the northern tilt and we have this whole pandemic as redirected our attention to how the south experiences grief factor for instance

global compassion is a thing that we have to think about as well how we share the vaccine how we share knowledge how we worry about other people because the more people that are vaccinated throughout the world the safer we or our so northern tilt global compassion anticipated relief and multiple levels of grief reach you know what you know is that i find it really intriguing the in the same way that we are having to keep away from each other this pandemic has also in some ways united as as a close let's talk about what kind of virus is meant for our sense of community we spoke to dr compatible have a listen. i think the impact has been especially hard on adolescents and young adults whom the band them a construct of all the key aspects of their lives from making and meeting friends to completing education and finding a job this is of course also the key thing is of the life of course when mental health problems and. the most important thing to address young people people's

needs is to ensure that their voices are heard and their aspirations are prioritized when planning how societies contain the epidemic. young children are having an extraordinary time growing up why we're not seeing our friends and not playing with your friends so heart wrenching stories and thinking about the kids right now. so. yes i'm a child psychologist and so i'm seeing as many of the same clients i had before and just how it is exacerbating like any existing depression anxiety that they've already had with adolescents we know that peer group is critical part of their development and as dr patel had mentioned and so not being able to see their friends is taking a huge toll on their mental health and it's taking a toll on family relations because parents are trying to find this savors ways for

them to get some social interaction are trying to make up for that but it's training on the family as a whole and so i just see that families are trying their best they're trying to persevere i hear my my adolescent clients trying to put on a good attitude but it waxes and waves over the course of the pandemic it's a year out there's weeks they're doing better and there's weeks that there are really struggling and i'm seeing a lot more symptoms. you noticed a guy just play i just wanted to add something on this and you know i think what i really want to add you know to ease them or to they should you know and you can keep up your wood relation for a couple of months but having stretched up your want of a should without any external factor without any extra mentor board has been a huge huge obstacle we have now and i've seen that with school and sorry but i had. just about like you know when it 1st happened and it was like

a global community coming together everybody seemed to be locked down as those kids really worked and there was a lot of accommodations for academics but now i'm even seeing honor students who have their motivation you really hit on that it's like they're now struggling and can barely make it to class # and people are like the students are barely waking up or the zooms are missing and it's just hard to be motivated a year on out you know to be motivated for online education if they even have access to that which we know that there's been a lot of disparities in terms of the ability to access education and that this is high let's say here's the thing we have spent over 20 minutes talking about our horrible terrible bad year and i am wondering if there is anything wrong in the last 12 months why overall faith like rethinking that we can take away what has been good for us but for our spirit we've adapted i'm going to give the surface

hertha on this to. help where he talks about what how and what is the title of a helpless. one of the challenges that the community that i serve faced at the onset of the pandemic was the loss of community comes in right before the month of ramadan which is like very communal spirit and then as the horror of the pen to make a big end to trickle down led to the deaths of family members and friends and those we love our inability to come together and support each other and be there for one another and although initially that seemed as as a formidable foe i think many of us have come out stronger with a greater capacity to serve greater empathy greater investment greater maturity more wisdom and to take things that maybe in the past we took for granted now that we're coming back as a community to really understand and appreciate their value guess i also for a sentence to start with i'm going to also for a sentence to always what have we gotten calls attempts.

to russia we. all hope and it got to be. i think oh what specifically mean we have anything but now you've made it has to go back to make we have doctor to acknowledging that compassion fatigue is a real being and that we can get one don't you know are a couple halt. i think we've learned that it's human capacity to adapt to and even thrive in difficult circumstances is strong and i think we've learned thank you lord jesus thank you so much yes i really. excellent one thing that i've definitely learned on the strong is misinformation and. ever like this let me point you're into the right direction so you are never misinforms verified partnership
