and uncertainty surrounding this outbreak for more on how people's behavior is being at impacted by coronavirus let's bring in sissy ologist alexander yandell from life sick university hello to you dr yandell so are there typical ways in which people respond to health crises like the one we're seeing now. well luckily we can see that most people expect every every rational and they agree to. come. to very unpleasant rules and the german population for instance is very. well it just means and also excellent sign. on it's. own on the other hand there is of course a man i want to tee off people who do not always behave in solidarity i went shopping today for instance and i saw that there was toilet paper is missing what i

have read in the newspapers actually will be true and also that some pasta or whatever was i can find that in one of the supermarkets and there's also people who steal it as impacting but luckily that's a minority and so there are some people who act panicky and answers and sometimes even egoistical and that's of course also people a minority of people who deny the dangers of. virus and both groups try to come a social psychological point of view try to control and take control control over something which is not easy to control because it's not easy to control something like a virus and how we react on this crisis has a lot to do with how we were brought up for instance in which environment that we were we brought up an environment of safety for instance and our families or did we

have dysfunctional families where there was a lot of mistrust and desire to be so such a crisis can have a negative effect on those who are. stuck and of if i could just jump in there for a moment i'm just interested to know in what all of this can we learn something from the current crisis just based on how people have been reacting. yeah we can learn a lot of that and that it's a cause very sad what's not. on the other hand there's also a chance this crisis reminds us of that we have to be besides being very cautious that we have to keep congress the only for a week and we should not panic courters but we should not and we have to listen to scientific experts and don't believe in stupid conspiracy theories and also what we can learn now is that we have. a how what's how that people.

behave and solidarity and not behaving am interested we can learn quite a lot of that and it was so i think with us now now now it shows ask new ways for instance of how we are working the necessity is the mother of invention song it will change all of us. says the ologist dr alexander handel we thank you very much thank you very much. there watching d.w. news coming to you from berlin up next an in-depth look into whether electric cars could help slow climate change for now we'll leave you with some heart warming moments from italy people there of course are confined to their homes because of the krona virus locked down but entire neighborhoods are raising their voices to fill the empty streets with singing have
