5:39 pm
lines to set up helplines and all sorts all ensure access to actions are not there you can reduce and it's ensures that the meat of the law can go. or. where your children go to live. in total because of. orleans here and it's really hard i mean you see we also are all going to. run out saying you are not alone but we will leave our 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 on a 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
5:40 pm
forward a particular false narrative that's been happening with the guards as well this video has been shared on twitter with all the for example that there isn't any lockdown 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 i compared google street view to the building structures to find identifiable featured on offense is taken in the killer market in bengal or rw in india i then looked through videos uploaded over the past couple of days from that location to find the original user the person 1st loaded the video on to social media and he said that this 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
5:41 pm
and instagram to block about 100 social media posts criticizing its handling of the search joining us now are in deep in the journalist of media 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 our. absolutely thanks for having me so the story is essentially that the indian government which regularly contacts social media. are things related to paid speech you know or some. the other it is not a divider targeted at certain communities and this time around it was purely political speech that was targeted because criticism of how the government was
5:42 pm
handling the pandemic one of the tweets that and she said here we are having 200000 cases a day now and are not we are marked 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 sense are now granted that was just 50 tweets but the president the sets is really not something the have seen before how did you find out that this was happening. in particular disclose this. to get done or is this the received from the government worked database called this and i have i keep an eye on. 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
5:43 pm
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 within 36 hours and the kind of penalties that these new regulations have for social media companies that 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 kind of really sets the ground for a lot of. censorship of build and conversations that are really important on social
5:44 pm
media to pass a next thought that i was having here is the impact a 2nd way if authorities and 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. 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
5:45 pm
systems at a time when it is so hard to. find medical attention and that is also one unexpected oh come on just so and so i think 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 something really incredible happen over the last couple of weeks as the 2nd wave started reading people started reaching out on social media and 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
5:46 pm
places if anyone wants. ventilate assistance you can go there but it's just it's incredible how quickly this is being constructed at a very 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 because young people are getting affected 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 enumerable can be to have been granddaughter doing that because jenny is i had all of my life and was not it was i mean we really hired. a legal. e.r.
5:47 pm
and again has no i don't look under the oxygen mask and enable. me on a daily they say 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. 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. real good to tell you one thing we're not going to be so bored i can see you back so what the fuck you'll do that then are going up not doing because of the not increasing exponentially by culliver you can do so not because. it was supposed to commend. even if the miniscule you know number of patients i didn't get but they decided mission critical week or maybe even
5:48 pm
a week or maybe t.v. then back margo i think it's been a good thing. we have. got what they are but it's possible in this initial site on the one that we had to look at the plot from the video on modes and. maintaining that the questionable is because she said she even goes some up as well. although that 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
5:49 pm
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 over to the camp and my own hospital is now up a bit but it's over the city so we do we have little medical the patients go back home that's going to be enough because that is good for the peas and also because the patients knowing 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 details 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
5:50 pm
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 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 by which 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 dealt with. that he will burst in taking 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
5:51 pm
a definitive he'll get in regular which is limited and the country like india we have it has limited resources we'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 rent and 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 go into also knowing that the hospitals are struggling in jail right now when should be that time i think 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 given a good job. you have an office in there look around and if i could go up to my
5:52 pm
sister when 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 all out such a novel if you will not know this doctor has done anything to add to that about when do you go into hospital when she when she can 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 use their device got a plea in how the money to measure the saturation which is easily legible on that they wait and again thinking about the family should have a family physician and they will have a family physician community physician with them out on them but does that 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 the real boiling they can connect with them is really the symptom and i go to differentiate whether this is related to forward or is there something non-caloric
5:53 pm
so that off everybody easy it will be ready there for them to find out and distinguish and they can direct them you know but their way to how to go ahead with their disease so that other numerous ways to connect where doctor and family physician are it is and every association being in different modalities of connecting with the public just who had 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 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
5:54 pm
colleagues and the little girl in candidly regarding what the letters are but i'm not sure about what little bits of her that they have that we get our act together and are very little you know i would be a bit of a bit of that leader because it's a little because of the patients and their relatives demanded didn't want them that one little fight that really does exist in it and another. 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 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 accomplices are 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
5:55 pm
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 is that thought from her saying go to her saying and i want you to listen to these video comment and then react to immediately let's play it. seems. like so many city any responsible. if you don't the citizens of isolate north. really need to systematically distance. and if you know. me just you know about these. huge acts against me if i decide. not to send your thoughts yeah they gotta recognition is concerned there are. many doubts in the. common citizens of india getting back it's all been done to depend company it's a big benefactor they will act in it's only company manufacturing that is different
5:56 pm
but i think at the levels because being talked about. humans are insecure opened up an example and i've been there for different companies or befriend to pick up a level but the protection will be definitely against the white house itself because the public not to go out on their bit because he never shows off a different company than to that act and i know what they will act in reality i think they out of body but they have enough or they know it in opposition and whenever there is a chance of getting back to their day and whenever possible one must get back in and. they've got a lot now only 2 percent of indian population is actually i would have taken it all up and evacuated because he's a senator he took people in line in school and excuse me dot dot i think people i was like how is this possible these indian saying how is this possible we have a vaccine capital of the entire wild how if we have why we need difficulty right now. yeah and the ball problem. occurred and their production of back the nation was not my thing the game on vaccinating the other company of about
5:57 pm
1400000000 people population and i'll go back we have been able to adapt and only go 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 the act in asian vaccines would have been drummed up equally gullible or thing the normal amount of it 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 1000 thank you so much and also dr. 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 corona virus from india please stay chained to us and if you
