11:39 am
run out saying you are not alone but we will leave that conversation beth 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 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 the current india as well this video has been shared on twitter with also plain see for example that 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 and when this it was getting so into different screenshots and frames from the video to find for example store names from there i compared google street view to the building structure is to find identifiable featured on offense is taken in the killer market in bengal or rule in
11:40 am
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 is 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 disappears 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 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 is that people read the headline and see what you've got up to go ahead . absolutely thanks for having me so the story is essentially that the indian
11:41 am
government which regularly contact social media. are things related to paid speech you know or some. the other is not better targeted at certain communities and this time around it was purely political speech that was started because criticism of how the government was handling the pandemic one of the tweets that and she said here we're having 200000 cases a day now. we don't we're 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 she find out that this is happening. particular disclose this. to
11:42 am
get done more business to receive from the government world database called this 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 because this facebook and instagram and youtube 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
11:43 am
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 down a little later 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 of a 2nd wave if authorities in india deem it necessary to send some 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.
11:44 am
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. the credit 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 a lot of 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
11:45 am
something really incredible happen over the last couple of weeks as the 2nd wave started reading people started reaching old on social media and people started offering help on social media right now we see 247 you know people of all political are in the mall or organization. backgrounds and a step forward and say here we have oxygen that we would like to. deliver to these places if anyone. been delayed in assistance you can go over there but it's just it's incredible how quickly this has been constructed on it 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 and on as exclusion bingley more beautiful young people are getting off it don't and our families are getting
11:46 am
divorced to get rid of infertility is definitely the same and therefore the hospitalisation breeders increase substantially we're going to be left not to and i'm going to educate the people of illimitable can be to have been granddaughter too and it would have been good about the regulations to be followed and about the execution but i'm hoping the situation you soon since a vaccination campaign certainly a great piece i'm liz cheney is that all of maryland was not hers and it will be really hot in. a legal sense. you know you know i don't look on. oxygen mask and. only. now we are 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
11:47 am
the situation the cases what are you seeing what would you say. we are getting almost all not going to be. what i can see you back so what the fuck you'll do that then are going up not doing because of it not increasing exponentially by culliver you can do so not because. it was a political mendis. 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 of margo i think it's been a good thing. we have. got what they are but it's possible in this initial fight on the lawn that we had to look at the plot from somebody on the road and. maintaining that the questionable
11:48 am
is because she said she even though someone says well tired of it is setting my. things in that goal. i don't know what is happening right now but. then because of the shared some ok this doesn't take as long to be difficult then we are going like i'm up there we have. to cook at home on fire so the pm modi has announced. that you can do more than the children don't know if you include kids yet they see how been fortunate to be back because they will have some more looking time to take care of the my kids can hold on to and other things that they're doing yet i think we have been looking in violence because of the overdose because of hampering my own life but who knows now if i even did but it's a little so we didn't we had little medical that patients go back home that's going to be enough because that is good for the fees and also because the patient knowing
11:49 am
that we have to be able to. depending on the back saying. very very thought to be a big deal to give back to our kids and give the give oxygen give all the gains of the choir don't amount to 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
11:50 am
a bed in extreme stages of fighting saturations or less than the 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 at up and the government set 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 into eating this because it crisis at an early stage that other than. finding a bed that extreme stage of a gasping condition you will need a definitive he'll get in regular which is near my neck and they like india they have it there's limited resources they've all been acting with adults 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 they went and i see an admission if you are to get there but i am that a qualified doctor i said does my saying i have 2 doctors i fortunately on the seem
11:51 am
to have 2 doctors the idea about when do you go to hospital. and you have covered 19 when you go into house 2 knowing that the hospitals are struggling in jail right now when should be that time i think actually monaco you are all well off then there's a as soon as you know about it because i thought as soon as it's sick but 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 in a good job. you have an office and there's a look around and if i could go up to my sister and i could see the whole movie to a lot move down myself it has been a lot you have to be able to have to have that little device that message will alter your 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 is this in this stage of
11:52 am
a pandemic right now and everybody must because they will use their device got a 1000000000 how to monitor measure the saturation which is easily visible on that the waist and they can think it but the family should have a family physician and they will have a family physician community physician with them out on them but those on the deck with the doctors they can either there. are ways or there are many n.g.o.s and what are the associations and in the online medical consultations we're dealing they can connect with them easily with the symptom and i go to differentiate whether this is related to forward or is there something non-caloric so that also everybody easy it 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 p.c.'s so that other numerous ways to connect where dr net family physician or it is and every association being and of different modalities of connecting with the public just who had them out in this crisis. we
11:53 am
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 it will 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 a little column guardedly regarding what the letters are but i'm not sure about what little bits are rooted that it is that we get our act together and there are very 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 among the i didn't want them that one little fight that really does exist in it and another. older than those
11:54 am
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're going to get in there. i definitely for the last read on that and again at the community care center like in delhi they have all been some of the well complex as i live and i didn't go there or anything like that and that really quickly ok. all right so let me go to a sane. and has saying thank you on you tube right now ha same says vaccine histon see is a big issue especially in rural areas in the area i've been to a village where we have many doses getting wasted there was 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. good access to the city any responsible to. the citizens of isolated north.

11:56 am
