retorting 22 point 3250th anniversary year on. this is d w news live from berlin the world passes a grim milestone as more and more covert 1000 cases are reported india's prime minister tries to boost morale in a country under lockdown but millions of day laborers left with no income are barely surviving also coming up a life line for the elderly with seniors and the seriously ill and or curfew in

turkey people there are doctors getting their neighbors and. goods leaving the lockdown lives people around the world stuck at home are turning to music and basically anything else they can think of to fill the analysts hours. i'm sara kelly welcome to the program more than a 1000000 people around the world now have confirmed corona virus infections and 50000 are dead sure some of the latest developments in the pandemic the united states has registered the world's highest daily coated 19 death toll thursday saw 1169 confirmed deaths from virus related causes there and south korea has refused entry to 8 foreigners who refused quarantine measures all overseas arrivals

including south korea nationals are required to self isolate for 14 days and germany now has more than 80000 confirmed cases and over 1000 covert 1000 deaths that's as the head of the country's disease control agency says that deaths are probably being undercounted. one country with a relatively low infection rate so far is india which has $2500.00 confirmed cases in the population of $1300000000.00 last week the country introduced a nation wide lockdown to stem the spread of the virus in a video message broadcast on friday prime minister narendra modi tried to bolster more out by urging people to like candles for 9 minutes on sunday night. but for millions of day laborers and india who lost their incomes when the country went into lockdown candle light is not going to fill their bellies he has to be surprised while reports. waiting. sometimes for

all that and. this is what every day looks like now for these daily wage workers. social distancing boxes seem meaningless in the face of hunger. at the end of this particular way it to oranges none of these men are originated from delhi they migrated to the capital from villages in neighboring states looking to own a livelihood. some work in small restaurants are those at construction sites every meeting depends on the days. but with businesses closed for india's 3 week lockdown these awnings and the meals have dried up now didn't try to go home but were the bus stations were closed the police told us to stay here. but there are no medical services available here and we're not allowed to leave we would have to

call an ambulance the police to let us go. yet with food at hand these men are the lucky ones. the government is so why even people would have hundreds of shelters like this one yet the demand far outstrips the supply in addition many are physically unable to reach these centers because of the lockdown. this is where civil society is stepping in goons an ngo that has worked on disaster relief during floods and earthquakes. is now adapting to a different challenge to a disaster that cannot be seen but that is everywhere. this time fall fewer aid workers are being called in to maintain social distancing and they're taking up tasks they have never had before relief work especially in the midst of a lockdown is the government's responsibility. but workers here believe there is no

time to assign blame lives are at stake and not just because of the good or no iris because good men big government was noted for making an effort but there's a gap we need to work together this is not an issue of survival of this that i will go to her. but even as these groups walk to our lists leave to provide protection and food to the city's poorest. the fight for survival promises to be a long one crowding together shelter social distancing is a luxury these men cannot afford but for now at least there is food to eat. and that report was from d.w. correspondent fall in delhi earlier she gave us her assessment on the address by prime minister narendra modi. rihanna's just wolf at length about the need not to get despondent in isolation and going to continue to be that despite the distance

we are i could die in this fight against that when i was but to not give a speech already to this is a constitution media in india and often questions about why have there been no policy measures announced and even if you want measures why is there not more information about in yesterday just what you guess fight what is happening about just what is happening to. project protective equipment what is happening about oil goes into congo because it was knocked down so why are the prime minister and congress indians just stay strong and that is all i want to isolate there's also hate to see criticism but his message and that was g.w. correspondent mission wall in delhi cove in 1000 cases are also rising sharply in turkey the country currently has more than 18000 confirmed cases and 356 deaths associated with the virus president wretch of type out of one is under growing pressure to impose a general lockdown to slow the outbreak he has introduced

a curfew for the chronically ill and those older than 65 people who have their own special needs. home delivery turkey style. for many istanbul residents this is not a novel way of doing their shopping but with the corona virus epidemic worsening it's now become a lifeline for the city's elderly if there are. no cool shopkeepers have quickly adapted to it as other cities up we have started to delivery service so they call us and we help them let me really care if they want something from the shop or the market particular to their homes because they are elders solution. the curfew for citizens older than 65 was among the 1st measures taken. by the turkish government in their battle against the epidemic. we did it

was local authorities have been told to be strict. to enforce the rules and send people home. at 1st however many pension is wouldn't listen to an arson from these general municipality tells me a lot of the. eba sharda nothing really changed during the 1st days but when you look at it now you can see that the use of public transport for example is down 90 percent and this is a strong sign that our older citizens are more aware of the importance of the issue now following the rule if more than before. the more pensioners stay at home the more work there is miniscule support teams across the city they have delivered groceries to tens of thousands of quarantined istanbul lights. but despite the early introduction of the curfew for the elderly it has proven to little in the fight against the virus more measures have been taken. he

stumbles grand design one of the largest in the world is now closed as are schools museums sports clubs bars and cafes. all international flights have been stalked and domestic travel severely restricted its jumbles new gigantic appu ward and he and deserted and shingle an arson predicts that move measures will come to the sulu fires the old out here in istanbul the population density is very high hearted so it's safe to say that we will need more radical measures eventually after all is somebody has to be a hot spot at this epidemic. and watch a priest start. with more restrictions. looming he stumbles patients will be tested his will is the slowly darity of its people.

and as fear infections and lockdowns move around the world we asked some of the network of correspondents to give us an insight into how the pandemic is changing daily life. deserted streets empty restaurants closed shops in the u.s. capitol to stop the spread of the virus more and more states are ordering their residents to stay at home but not everyone complies if you days ago police in neighboring maryland interrupted a church service where 50 people gather it and none of them were social distancing the oh so it is can only help that such attitudes will change soon as people understand what's at stake staying at home is challenging for everybody these days but now imagine staying at home if you live in a shack no one room shack with a lot of people at a very crowded space this is the reality for millions of south africans and although the lockdown rules of the 3 week locked on extremely strict many people

simply not able to comply when you talk to cartoons you don't get the sense that people are really panicking this certainly hasn't been the kind of runs on toward paper pasta that we've seen in many countries you can even still find mosques like these in some of the pharmacies even though they are now selling about 3 times the price is one place that is on this empty square at the top i mean now home to about $100.00 ukrainians in fact which releases you about 50 of them are now reported to have left illegally and now face fines of up to 400 euros if not. all scientists around the world are searching for ways to stop the spread of covert 191 woman in new york who recently read just recovered excuse me from the disease has told me that her blood plasma hoping it can be used to help other patients. tiffany picked me has been to the brink and back the mother of 2 recently came out on top in

a battle with colvin 19. i remember being on my bathroom floor crying and crying and saying that i need you to hear me from this no she's denaturing her blood plasma in the hope it can heal others. it is definitely overwhelming to know there in my blood there may be answers doctors believe the answers may lie in antibodies her immune system generated to attack the virus and they want to help others fight the disease the technique was successful during the 1918 spanish flu pandemic. we just hope it works we want to do the right thing for our patients and we don't want to just stand there are we by watching this coming out of us we want to do something and hopefully it will be something which causes some good another term for this is passive immunization so that this is a way to make somebody immune tensional equal iris for short period of time and was

used before they were back. with the wait for a vaccine likely to be more than a year away tiffany want others to follow her example i would definitely recommend both individuals to get we tested to ensure that they are in fact negative negative and to donate their plasma because it could potentially help and save hundreds and thousands of lives now she's free to leave her new york home again she'll step out into a different city to the one she knew before perhaps no she'll be among those helping to fill it with life again. and with most of us forced to stay indoors and away from friends and family social media is helping to fill the void videos and news have become sources of smiles the cheering the crisis let's take a look at how some people have been showing their creative sides. this music is the

medicine of the minds crane a virus has its own john rocker. for some home office means blowing off some steam. for those getting a bit more restless. how about some sports. no equipment and just improvise. even if the goods are in short supply. we've seen disappearing costs. not to mention disappearing parents. some just want to ride off into the distance. others have been sharing their time for state attempts at home a face masks just don't forget our canine companions i'm to fail

just potty. here watching t w news i'm sarah kelly in berlin don't forget there's always more on our website at the t w dot com and you can follow us on social media thank you so much for watching this is it. combating the corona pandemic. where does research stand. what are scientists learning. background information and news. hour corona. that 19 special next on d w. how does

a virus spread. why do we have it and when will. it just through the. weekly radio show is called spectrum if you would like any information on the drawing a line or any other science topic you should really check out our podcast you can get it wherever you get your podcast. also finance and. science and in the. corner silver now. really silver is the weapon against coronavirus others of the corona virus and has been able to eliminate it within 12 hours. jim bakker the televangelist has now been sued for selling these fake coronavirus cures the fraudsters are wasting no time to make money from your fear the hoax

likely originated from a widespread spread belief in silva's antibacterial properties some tooth brush from the mantle to in order to boost sales but scientists agree silver has no effect against the corona virus in fact exposure to colonial silver can be toxic. well other fake remedies against covert 19 and fake news about the outbreak are flooding the internet right now so let's have a look at what's right and what's wrong about this is your covert 19th special on the news. in berlin welcome times of crisis are always great times for fake news and propaganda and the more ridiculous the claims it seems the more traction they gain on social media feeds tips like drinking alcohol to kill the virus and fight the disease as tempting as it may sound for some it is it or religious claims that corona was

a punishment dished out by gold or mother nature team from did obvious science has put together a selection of some of the most outrageous fake news about covert 90. whatever you do don't try this attack this widely shared on whatsapp is just one example of the many coronavirus related stories circulating on. 9 the problem as the disease continues to spread fake news is going viral. in india a picture purporting to show an italian boy taking his life after all his family members died from coronavirus went viral there's a fact check revealed that the footage actually shows the suicide of a woman before the outbreak. and this photo doesn't show dead bodies on the streets of italy it's actually an art installation in germany. also doing the rounds conspiracy theories among them the just south korean series forecast the

corona virus outbreak back in 21818 just one of many stories describing the pandemic as a premeditated event. platforms like facebook are rife breeding grounds for the spread of fake news the social networking giant is among several companies pledging to take stronger action to prevent the spread of misinformation others too are doing their bit to make sure people are getting the right information about corona a service called africa check recently to rebuff a south african mayor's claim that a vaccine against corona virus is being developed. much of asia seems just over the hill and most of europe is in the battle against with 19 africa is bracing for impact fake news is not helping society is there to prepare for the onslaught let's bring in vincent. deputy kenya africa chicken joins us from

nairobi vincent how much of a problem is corona fake news in african countries right now. thanks for having me coronavirus misinformation is a big big problem and the reason is that the more people believe misinformation then they will not follow the instructions are going to wash their hands only practice social distancing and they will not stay at home so the strings mean that if they don't pay attention wires threats more and on top of that you have people throwing certification or is or medicines that have been proven not to work we've seen in nigeria for example that people have been poisoned by chloroquine because they heard it could work. out what's the weirdest piece of fake news you've come across so far. or the weirdest i have come across is that if

you take some orange peels and you boil and you inhale the steam you're going to cure coronavirus and we know that's not sure because your body temperature internal what in temperature never really changes all you end up doing is burning in from high. of people actually believing this kind of stuff well people believe misinformation particularly about health because it's tied into the here people are afraid of diseases that are difficult to cure and so this gives them hope when you give them a hope they will try and secure is doable i am medicines fake medicines if they have to or. you should know just that really we don't see a lot of fake news about a disease like malaria because we all know it's curable and medicine is clearly accessible. to people across africa generally trust the governments to

take the right measures of false starts misinformation on fertile ground. people are are burra less trustful of the government and the reason they are is because they know who the government really can do them most to protect what we have seen is a bitter dissatisfaction with the measures the time being taken so for example in kenya we knew that for example the number of tests have been rising but these are concerned that they are not enough and also the fact that a lot of people live in an informal economy in kenya so they have to go out every day and earn money and it's very difficult to tell people like that to stay at home and so why so late unless you're providing them with money so that they can stay inside. who benefits from these fake news

and not people benefit there are people who wants to grew their insurance online and they'll spread it anything but his fate whether it's about coronavirus or politics it doesn't matter then there are people who want to actually make a business selling fake cures so that you can actually spend your money to to buy a free cure or to do things that are not true for example or in shapiro water and then finally you've got people who want. to drive political agendas or they're going to capitalize on people's fears to spread stories and that way spread the agenda that's probably the system it's wrong and therefore you should form because i have a solution so there are people doing its digitally online and they have. to come

logical results others have commercial reasons and some have all the 2 koreas. benson's and gave me the deputy kenya at the time and africa chick thank you very much for joining us from our oaxaca 3rd. oh it's time again for your questions keep them coming on you tube facebook and twitter all send us an e-mail today our science correspondent gary williams will do with some of the most viral and fake news stories unfold claims about the coronavirus. is this virus genetically modified to be used as a biological weapon and this was one of those conspiracy theories that was bound to pop up in the midst of a global pandemic right i mean there's been too many books and movies with that as a plot line but a team of researchers that studied the genetic makeup of the virus recently published some compelling arguments for why it wasn't engineered but must have naturally evolved 1st they said source code to most closely resembles coronaviruses

found in bats that don't cause disease in humans and of course and evil scientists trying to build a superbug would have started with one that's already been proven to make a sick 2nd in our computer models the changes to the stars code to genetic sequence that allowed it to start infecting us just don't look like they should work very well they aren't mutations that any bio engineer would have chosen if they were trying to build a superbug because the models would have said they don't really work so no the coronavirus was not designed by humans. can supplements like fish oil zinc ovitz in the. supplements or an area of nutrition where there's very little consensus in the scientific community under ordinary circumstances much less in the midst of a pandemic the idea that you can somehow boost your immune system i mean what does

that mean anyway the answer to this question is a resounding no the only thing that we currently thing. it will prevent you from catching the virus is if you've had it already and developed antibodies that will prevent you from getting it again i'm not saying you should stop taking your fish oil or your vitamins just don't expect them to keep you from catching covert 19. there is agreement that notes of smell is a sign of a severe case of paid 19 can we hear more about that. recent large scale study in britain that collected data from hundreds of thousands of people reporting on and up showed that from those who eventually tested positive for the disease around 60 percent had that symptom to a greater or lesser extent that certainly sounds pretty convincing the only problem is that losing the sense of smell or taste is also closely associated with other

respiratory infections it's a lot more common than you might think that's why as of this morning at least the w.h.o. was still reviewing the issue and hadn't yet decided to add the loss of smell or taste to the official list of symptoms of corona virus infection but that could very well happen in the coming days if there's enough evidence to support it. from a science department answering your most pressing questions and that concludes code with 19 special forces day for more on the pandemic do check out our social media channels and our website that's w dot com which has dedicated covered 900 pages in 30 languages now before i let you go let's go back to africa where musicians are fighting against the coronavirus together with local health authorities the foremost across the
