a good. group or leave here. it's really hard to see and we also. run out saying you are not alone but we will leave our conversation thank you for your time and we wish you the very best if you know where. now as india fights the surge of coronavirus another front has opened up on social media misinformation fiona davis is our best information specialist and this is what she shared with us earlier. all that in videos are taken out of context on social media and shared to push forward a particular false narrative that's been happening in the garmsir india as well this video and shared on twitter with also clearly in seeing for example that there isn't any lock down trying to undermine the severity of the code 99 there but giving no more context for example where and when this video came again so in 2 different screenshots and frames from the video to find for example store names

from there and compared google street view to the building structures to find identifiable featured on offense is taken in the killer market in bengal or rue in india i then looked from videos uploaded over the past couple of days from that location to find the original user person 1st applauded the video on to social media and he said that his video was taken out of context he was actually looking for stricter lockdown matters rather than suggesting in any way at all that there is a severe situation there. last week the indian government order twitter facebook and instagram to block about 100 social media posts criticizing its handling of the search joining us now are in deep is a journalist of media are in thank you for joining us good to see you there's a story that you broke quite recently was a huge story and a scandal 1st social media platforms that agreed to. censor.

people's conversations online tell us about that story i'm just showing the page right here so people read the headline and see what you've got up to go ahead our. absolutely thanks for having me so the story is essentially that the indian government which regularly contact social media platforms to take down our things related to paid speech are you know on some. of the whether it is not better targeted at certain communities and this time around it was purely political speech that was targeted because criticism of how the government was handling the pandemic one of the tweets and she said here we're having 200000 cases a day now and there are not we are not really hearing. we're not really seeing any action being taken where is the government it is this kind of p.r. political speech that you don't even think about that got sense or that was just 50 tweets but the president the sets is really not something we have seen before how

did you find out that this was happening. twitter in particular disclose this. to get done or is this the received from the government world called this and i have a keep an eye on that those disclosures and. that disclosure given i would be getting at is that ok this is insane this is not like anything any other requests i've seen before. to their credit we don't just disclose this facebook and instagram and you tube they don't do anything like this they refused to comment on the story the only reason we know that they were approached to have these poor stricken down is because the government anonymously ordered sort of news organizations that they did that so this connects up to a change in regulations for social media platforms in february now we paid much attention to it at the time why should we be paying attention to it right now. absolutely because the incentives that the new regulations create or worse are

the quietest social media platforms to date don't like them that in 36 hours and the kind of penalties that these new regulations have for our social media companies their employees in particular there and they are just incentivized to. take things down and then you know look at whether they should have been taken down a little later and that kind of really sets the ground for a lot of. censorship of build and conversations that are really important on social media yet that's a next thought that i was having here are when is the impact going into a 2nd wave if authorities in india deem it necessary to censor certain pulse on social media what is the end result of that happening

so surprisingly it is not just criticism of you know the way the situation is being handled but we have also seen some really unusual results as well for example. and delhi police essentially reached out to citizens we're all still leaves for things like oxygen cylinders and bags and said hey you cannot force this on the main it's illegal under their freedom except we will prosecute you if you keep this post up and do you know that kind of. beaker it discourages people from finding the systems at a time when it is so hard to. find medical attention and that is also one unexpected outcome on top of just censoring criticism. if you're looking at the positive and what's happening on social media and not the censorship as far as india is concerned there's a lot of help that is happening from one citizen to another citizen of

a free services being offered talk to us about that because that is really that that's stood out for me for sure absolutely so we have seen something really incredible happen over the last couple of weeks as the 2nd wave started reading people started reaching out on social media people start offering help on social media right now we see 247 you know are people of all political and in all organization backgrounds kind of step forward and say hey we have oxygen that we would like to. deliver to these places if anyone needs. ventilating assistance you can go over there it's just it's incredible how quickly this has been constructed i think by a more extreme scarcity and stress on the health care system. are indeed thank you for joining us this is a story that we are going to continue to watch thank you. now from online to the

doctors on the front by the situation this time and on as exclusion bingley more beautiful young people are getting off it don't and our families are getting divorced to get rid of infertility is diffidently high the same and therefore the hospitalisation breeders increase substantially we're going to be left no stone unturned to educate the people about seem in no member can be to have been granddaughter to and they've been happy to get it about the regulations to be followed and directly should be hoping the situation to go soon since a vaccination campaign certainly a great piece i'm liz cheney is that all of maryland was not it was an o.e. really high end a legal. i know you know i don't look. after you and. only. now we are joined by dr zainab in both power hear her saying in hyderabad hello doctors

good to see thank you for staying up so late to talk to us live on the stream. dr if you could explain what was happening in india right now what is the situation the cases what are you seeing what would you say. we are getting almost all not cases in a day's. work i can see exactly what the parking lot is there have been there had been up not doing because of the not increasing exponentially by culliver even before not because. it was supposed to commend. them even if the miniscule you know number of patients i did not get but they decided mission critical week or maybe even 2 weeks or maybe 3 weeks then that is my go ahead give them a good thing. we have. got

what they are but it's possible in this initial thank you on the one that we had to look at the plaque from the building on the road and. maintaining that the questions that the questions that these even though sum up as well. as all that is that in ma diao what are the things in that goal. and what is happening right now but. then because of the shared somewhat ok this. has not been difficult then we are going like i am up there we have medical kit home and was pm modi has announced. that you can more than the children don't know if you can go to get. help unfortunately but it is they will have some more looking on to take care of the my case and. there are a lot of them that they're doing the i don't think they're committing violence or that they're already not but an example by one hospital is now of

a little bit overdone but it will really really only recall that patients are told that you know that that is pretty inevitable and that is very good for the field and also because the patient knowing that there are results of it or that they. are the number that are dying are really very small actually their day to give better care and give give oxygen alternatives don't require don't amount to i have a lot of questions from our online audience so take a pause for a moment that does say i'm going to put some of these questions to you so that you can maybe help our audience with some of the issues they have and this is she tao she says that both her sisters are in hospital struggling for their life today i lost my uncle and 2 days ago i lost my auntie i am scared so is my family and every single indian hoping for the best what are you hoping for same for right now.

by the binding it is concerned right now in extreme cases where the patient has approached for finding a very extreme status of heart in saturation sort or less than the other 60 percent or 50 percent agree that if you need a nice your bed with a ventilator a support which has its own limitations the country that a limited number of a few birds and regular in the barracks set up and the government set up as well so we said as citizens of india to be connected to a doctor what if i was. very well versed in treating this call it crisis at an early stage that other than. buying a bed at the extreme stage of a gasping condition you will need a definitive he'll get an regulator which is limited in the the that there's limited resources you need for connecting with a doctor at an early stage and trying to park your bed as early as possible trying to get an intervention as early as possible will. definitely rent then i see an

admission if you are to get there but i am that a qualified doctor all right so does my saying i have 2 doctors i fortunately on the seem to have 2 doctors the idea about when do you go to hospital and you have covered 19 when you going to have to knowing that the hospitals are struggling in jail right now when should be that time i think they actually want to go you are so often given as soon as you know that it goes without asking as is the fact that you know that you can only stop them cold. like a good that there's only on on when you want to get up to go up. you have the help of never look at all 99 go up to my sister wanted to see the whole movie so that means don't die myself as you know you have to be able to have to have that little device that message all oxygen otherwise you will not know this doctor has done anything to add to that about when did you go into hospital when she when she could

be that. yeah definitely everybody should have a pulse oximeter be right in their houses in this stage of a pandemic right now and everybody must be part or use their device correctly and how to monitor measure the saturation which is easily legible on that the weights and again thing every. family should have a family physician and they will have a family physician community physician with them out on them area hospitals on the deck with the doctors they can out of there are other ways there are many n.g.o.s and what is the association turning up online medical consultations with your bowling they can connect with them easily with the earlier symptom and i go to differentiate whether this is related or weird or is there something non-caloric told the doctor will be very easy it will be ready there for him to find out and distinguish and they can guide them in a better way to how to go ahead with their disease so there are numerous ways to

find it where doctor and family physician nowadays and every association being in different modalities of connecting with the public to help them out in this crisis . we have all seen pictures of people struggling in india in times of oxygen cylinder is getting oxygen whilst the health system collapsing in some places this has actually started a whole lot of international and have you seen any of those self yet what is the impact of that global story happening and then coming into india. well in my hospital they are what you have to be quite developed and are but i got lucky and i can leave them the little column frantically rather dropping off unleaded but i'm not right about what that little bit it's a little bit that's all that we get our act together and there are very little you

know it's big but it is that needed because it's a little because of the patients and their relatives demand that if they want them that one little fight and he does it there's a nest and then all of it so how old are the children of all 4 well you're not doing anything in the car they're the ones that are holding out in an hour then you claim people and they are going to tell them that. i've been making a dollar for the last 3 damn steps and you can have them community care centers like in delhi they have been some of the well complexes and they have a didn't do very well i think that really quick little ok. all right so let me go to a saying. and he's saying thank you on the cheap right now husain says vaccine histon see is a big issue especially in rural areas in india i belong to a village where we have many getting wasted there is that thought from his saying got to his sane and i want you to listen to this video comment and then react to immediately let's plan.

a d.n.a. response and. if you know the site in. north. america . you know. you've. got to send your thoughts. as regards to vaccination is concerned there are. many doubts in the common citizens of india regarding lackeys so based on the different companies to be manufacturing back since it's only the company manufacturing that is different i think at the level speech is being talked about that. siemens are into europe india but examples and size and event that the different companies are different i think at the levels but the protection will be definitely against the white house itself

or the public not to go around the ticketing levels of a different company than to the vaccine by now whatever vaccine we are getting they are very much safe enough or another operation and whenever there is a chance of getting vaccinated then whenever possible one must get vaccinated. because as of now only 2 percent of the indian population is i connected with the 2nd order of any of that to let it be cliche. people whine and cry and give me the doctors and then when i was like how is this possible these are indian saying how is this possible we have the vaccine capital of the entire well how if we have why we have difficulty right now. yeah and the problem. and production of back the nation was not matching the money back and i think we had a country of about 1400000000 people population and out of that we have been able to adapt and only go percent of the population and the remaining we have been

exporting the act in order helping to order almost around 0 what it would look at big countries which is also very important to help them out on production of their act in asian vaccines would have been ramped up equally calculating the amount that was population with india out already soledad that has been the period to actually match a player in dollars to make a moral stand and. thank you so much and also i thought zainab ahmed we really appreciate you to doctors on the front lines of the covered 902nd wave in india making time for us here on the stream deltas thank you so much we have to leave it there so we will continue to cover the story of coronavirus in india at least a change and if you would like us to cover a particular angle of a story do let us know we're always on twitter 247 at a.j. straight see you next time thanks for watching.
