a good. orleans here and it's really hard to see if we also are all going to. 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 with your where. now as india fights the surge of coronavirus another front has opened up on social media misinformation jonah 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 with regards to india as well this video has been shared on twitter with all the program but there isn't any lock down trying to undermine is the very easy of the code 99 there but giving no more context for example where or when this video was came again so in 2 different screenshots and frames from the video to find for example store names from there

and compared to google street view to the building structures to find identifiable featured on offense is taken in the killer market in bangalore rue in india i then look for videos uploaded over the past couple of days from that location to find the original user the person 1st applauded the video on to social media i mean that that is 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 $100.00 social media posts criticizing its handling of the search joining us now are in deep is a journalist of media now must i mean 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 contacts social media there. are things related to paid speech you know or some. the other 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 that i'm sure is there here we're having 200000 cases of beer now and 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 political speech there you don't even think about that. that was just 50 tweets but the president the sets is really not something be have seen before how did you find out that this is happening.

particular disclose this. to get done more business there received from the government world database called lawman database and i have a keep an eye on. those disclosures and. that disclosure given i would be getting orders that ok this is insane this is not like anything any other requests i've seen before. to their credit disclose this facebook and instagram and 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

the widest social media platforms to date don't like them that in 36 hours and the kind of penalties that these new regulations have for social media companies their employees in particular i mean they're they are just incentivized to. take things down and then you know look at whether they should have been taken on a little late 0 and that really sets the ground for a lot of. censorship of build and conversations that are really important on social media to pass a next thought that i was having here is the impact going into a 2nd wave if authorities deem it necessary to send some posts 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 were posting leads for things like oxygen cylinders and bags and said hey you can are was 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. decrease 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 oh come on just so i don't 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 are free

services being offered talk to us about that because that is of really that that's stood out for me for show 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 started offering help on social media right now we see 247 you know people of all political. in all organizations. backgrounds and a step forward and say here we have oxygen that we would like to. deliver to these places if anyone needs. mandalit assistance you can go over there but it's just it's incredible how quickly this has been constructed better by the 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 on is excruciating really more beautiful because young people are getting off it don't and our families are getting divorced to get rid of infertility is definitely the same and therefore the hospitalization breeders increase substantially we're going to be left no stone unturned to educate the people of illimitable can be who have been granddaughter to and it will have been educated about the random issues to be followed and about the execution really hoping the situation you soon since the execution can be in certainly a great piece i'm liz cheney is that all of marilyn was not hers and only really hot and. maybe it was. i don't know i don't look. after you and. only. now we're joined by dr zainab in both power and dr murray 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 going to be so bored i can see exactly what the park field is that 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 didn't get back to decided mission critical week or maybe even a week or maybe t.v. then back margo i think it's been a good thing. we have you not quite. got what they are but it's possible in this initial site on the lawn that we had to

look at the plaque from the building on the road and. maintaining that the questionable is because she said she even goes some up as well. although that is setting my diagonal. was a thing then that goal. was all what is happening right now but. it doesn't because of the shared some ok because that. has not been difficult then we are going like i am up there we have. to cook at home on fire so that b.m. will be has announced. that you can do more than the children don't know if you include care. how been fortunate to be back because they will have some more looking time to take care of the my kids can hold on there and other things that they're doing the day yet i think we have been working by us citizens all over the camp and my own hospital is now up

a bit but it's over the city so we didn't we had little medical that patients go back home that's going to be enough because that is quite good for the pleasing total because the patients know about this we have to be able to say. depending on the same. very very thought to be a big deal give back to our kids and give the give oxygen give all the sense of the choir don't i'm not i have a lot of questions from out online audience so take a pause for a moment to say i'm going to put some of these questions to you to think you can maybe help out only and with some of the issues to having this issue tell 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 daughter saying for right now.

binding and there is concern right now in extreme ok so the way the patient has approached for finding a bed in extreme stages of fighting saturations 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 are going to be that a limited number of ice your beds and regular in the barracks act up and a government check up as well so we said as citizens of india to be connected to a doctor what if i dealt with. that he will burst in taking this call it crisis i can only state that other than. buying a bed at the extreme stage of a gasping condition you will need a definitive he'll get in regular which is the country like india we have it is limited resources we need to all connecting with a doctor at an early stage and trying to procure a bed as early as possible trying to get an intervention as early as possible will

. definitely be wednesday night here in admission if you are to get there but i am the 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 go into house 2 and knowing that the hospitals are struggling in jail right now when should be that time i think actually monaco you are jealous so often there's a as soon as you know about it because i thought as soon as it takes that you know that it's taken on the stuff i'm told that it's a covert like a good only on on when you want to get up to the god. you have the help of never look around and if i did go up to my sister when i could see the whole movie a lot move dot com i said it has been a lot you have to be able to have to have that little device that message all out such a novel if 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 you know definitely everybody should have a pulse oximeter be right in there how this in this stage of a pandemic right now and everybody was because they all used their device got a glee in how to monitor measure the saturation which is easily visible on that the waist and again thing every. family should have a family physician and they will have a family physician community physician with them not on them in the us but does it on the deck with the doctors they can out of there or are there ways there are many n.g.o.s and what are the associations i mean the online medical consultations we're dealing they can connect with them easily with the earlier symptom and i go to differentiate whether this is related to forward or is there something non-caloric bodach everybody easy that will be ready there for them to find out and distinguish and they can direct them in a better way to how to go ahead with their disease so that other numerous business

when it where dr net family physician or it is and every association being in different modalities of connecting with the public just to help them out in this crisis. we have all seen pictures of people struggling in india in terms of just oxygen cylinders getting oxygen out of the health system collapsing in some places this has actually started a wholly out of international aid have you seen any of those self yet what is the impact of that global story happening and then aid coming into india. in my hospital they are going to be quite like that and but i got started on my colleagues and the little girl in candidly regarding what the letters are but i'm not sure about what are the little bits of her that that we get our act together and we had a little you know i would be a little a bit of that leader because it's

a little because of the patients and their relatives demand that didn't want them that one little fight that really does exist in it and they're not it. older than those that are not old or well you're not going to get in the car they have all that and they're running out in an hour they need they need like people and they are going to get a leg. i did likely for the last 3 and again of them community care and the like in delhi they have all been some of the well complicated our lives and i didn't do it very well i think that really quickly did ok. all right so let me go to a sane. and has saying thank you. right now hossein says vaccine histon see is a big issue especially in rural areas in india i've been to a village where we have many doses getting wasted there is that thought from her saying go to her saying and i want you to listen to these video comment and then react to it immediately let's play it. he would order the mission of.

the city of boston with a new tradition if you decided to. paint the euro and i think we really need to measure the distance so there you can if you selected and see if you know. me just you know that mission. saying your thoughts. as the guy was direct initially is concerned there are. many doubts in the common citizens of india getting back. on the different companies to be manufacturing back since it's only the company manufacturing that is different i think at the levels because being called. siemens or in syrup in the uk but example i learned. that the different companies are different i think at the levels but the protection will be definitely against the white house itself because

the public not to go out on the picket the levers of a different company than to have the vaccine die now whatever a vaccine we are getting they are very much they cannot order 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 indian population is actually there with the 2nd all of any of that to let it be fully show your lender he will put on line and can meet up to what i was and how is this possible this engine saying how is this possible we have the exact thing capital of the entire well how if we have why we have difficulty right now. yeah and the bell problem. occurred and their production of back the nation was not my thing but the modern vaccinating the other country of about 1400000000 people population and out of that we have been able to go back to their goal little percent of the population and the remaining we have been exporting their eggs in order helping to order the almost on though what it

would appear big country is to do all the body important to help them out on production of that act in asian vaccines would have been drummed up equally calculating the amount that was what pollution we do india out already so the bag that has been the period that will actually match a player in dollars to make a moral stand and a foundation thank you so much and also dr ahmed we really appreciate you 2 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 please stay chained to us and if you would like us to cover a particular angle of a story do let us know what always on twitter 247 at a.j. straight see you next time thanks for watching.
