one but all of them come straight from the heart to look for a senior who can afford no more delays the march into arm. from members of the world to their final resting place the russians on w documentary. it's not over it's just it's on the verge can you please get the toilet paper from the back thank you everybody it's the same thing oh no the it was one of you will score now the trees if you do me call want to. come to the school corona virus is spreading ever faster in germany. with the virus comes the fear news reports and images like these are unsettling restrictions on movement shuttered stores what effect is it having on us sorry but everybody needs toilet paper or all buying

multiple packs. the health system put to the test. you suspected corona. families struggling to balance childcare and working from home. and what not far from the seat of the german government life has been turned upside down. your money is all yours here look bananas i'm on i mean we're well supplied those are leftovers there's enough for everyone there's really no need to panic. no need to panic no shortages supermarket manager michelle linda says these words like incantations the shelves aren't empty because there are no goods to be had it's because he wasn't prepared for the sudden spate of panic buying lint has been

permanently stressed for days in these times of the virus he's even helping to stack shelves to get things under control again. it's basically i know you are going to make adjustments ourselves to them i told my staff today that we have to react day by day and unfortunately i don't. think with hold on a 2nd. sorry but everybody needs toilet paper you 3 are buying multiple packs i get a new start 2 or 3 times a week you know. it's not a problem in older people many toilet paper to it. you don't have to overreact thanks very much mr man and you're absolutely right these are crazy times. crazy times call for new rules even for customers at the supermarket is that if you know what i think i can only let you have one sorry. flower passed and canned goods can also only be bought in normal household amounts despite the stress

michelle lind is keen to do an interview for the local news. we're not standing here because i'm hungry for fame it's simply about getting the message across everybody calm down everything is fine don't get worked up in the bush people. we're not going to starve here we're really well set up and like i say it would be a big help to us a people would just settle down again the report is meant to help curb panic buying but lint still doesn't know what's coming his way. little by little the government is about to shut down public life. with a blend of state and federal governments are putting further drastic restrictions on public life most are measures our country has never seen before we're in an emergency situation a crisis scenario there will be restrictions every family will feel the effects

today schools and kindergartens across germany are closed. more drastic changes for berlin's residents among those affected in the ville to family. i've got a chair ready for you let's get you set up my mother and me pull your sleeves up so we don't get wet sebastian is a credit specialist at a bank he was supposed to be at his desk by now but work will have to wait his young son is taking a nap and he's using the time to cook with his daughter since the kindergarten closed he's been looking after the kids and trying to work from home if i do. that i can you get those 3 crumbs you can't when ordered from one day to the next it gets a bit much on the other hand you can handle it regardless. come up the question is at what point does being at home really start to get on your nerves think. the

mood is still good even though he wanted to be at his desk long before now but his wife isn't here to relieve him. he's hoping she'll come soon because he hasn't got much worked on. who were here the newer. record of them could there be. anna is a doctor she's just finished a shift at her practice 1st the work clothes go into the wash to stop the virus from entering the apartment after that she showers only then does she properly greet the family oh. i'm wiped out. there is so much going through your head it was good and then you rush back because you never quite know. he has to start work quickly and i never know what's

waiting for me here but it hears off me. i think chaos and here. for now everything is left as it is the children want to play and dad can finally get to work go and some money. sebastian hopes he'll be able to get some things out of the way before dinner if not they'll have to go back to work once the children are in bed if he has any energy by then. and still dealing with work emails. he has somehow i have 25000 messages right now so i'm trying to read a little while we play. they're holding things together for now but the family needs a break from our filming. meanwhile outside everything seems normal people are enjoying the sun there's still no sign of social distancing

at the same time measures to combat the corona pandemic are picking up speed shops are threatened with closure and for florists to do it via that would threaten his livelihood. 1000000 media reports say the government is suggesting closing stores for wall. his business partner and team have also heard about it they want to know what's going to happen so any news about reduced hours compensation. yes it has to be applied for. here it says it can be applied for at the end of the month and a ploy you can even be reduced to 0 years in the middle about as and then you get 65 percent refunded and call from one place to support center started. but only if you're forced to close right but value are still doesn't know if and when the closures will take

a fact and whether flower shops are included as his mother is worried. he's never been anything like this. in the context of so many closures none of us has ever experienced that i don't think it's happened since the war is does not. exist and it's definitely an existential threat comes that's clear loss the main thing is to take immediate action to maintain the quiddity. in the military people have to be paid by a lot of rents and other costs have to be covered and imo cost was in all the other a perilous situation but right now via has flowers to sell your business has to keep going at least for the moment. on the 18th of march the german chancellor addresses the nation. doesn't to me but we

say this it's serious you should take it seriously too. don't say i'm your strong me it won't affect me it's gets kind there's no need to stockpile groceries in germany more and more grocery stores are equipping themselves to protect customers and staff from the coronavirus. the next day we're back at the supermarket it's been 2 days since we last film tara. started to bring. a team meeting manager michelle lind reacts to the developments we're going to get used to not being so close together. no really we're going to learn different habits we don't do that anymore mrs kraus to keep a distance here to at least a little bit. i feel a responsibility to somehow do something to try to protect you somehow we still.

keep it distance and not just from the customers there should also be masks. of course now there's another problem yesterday i spent 3 hours trying to order masks and you can't get them all and if you can you get a packet like this for 49 euros how long is that supposed to last if necessary the employees are to wear scarves over their mouths also voiced his support for the rules recommended by virologists and politicians this way also i really ask you to avoid private social contact. these huge congregations of people will have consequences it's a disaster. doesn't it we get these are some big changes for your colleagues yes for everyone and for me to know what we've been talking about this for days and if we don't do it if we wait and wait i just wanted to be over it i'm sick of it i don't understand people if i fail to mention it i can't comprehend how somebody can

be so selfish to just enjoy the springtime outside while we're here sweating over this and going to bed with stomach ulcers. so we all need to finally wake up a bit. i have to take a drink. a few days after chancellor merkel speech people are keeping their distance in public but there's little chance of that in the village have families apartment sebastian is supposed to be preparing for an important telephone conference. ok. first the technology wasn't working now the children are bored. stander sit here and then try to throw into the bucket ok and see how many you get if you noticed. well no we can't do that now.

hey please listen to me i have to do some work i'm sorry but that's the way it is. government ok now i just got an email from the kindergarten saying that one of the employees has tested positive for hiv positive tested for the children i work appointment any moment and now corona it's a bit too much all at once. i have to read the rest of this quickly i only read the 1st sentence. the message has consequences that the children are blissfully unaware of. nothing certain right now. but he can't deal with it right now the telephone conference has already started luckily his wife comes home from work

soon afterwards. i built something. we have she's new doors. here's a. 6 hours work at the medical practice and kids with cabin fever but one topic rises above everything else have you read the emails i have to make a living one from i don't know i haven't read it i just saw the subject line. do you know anything more have you had any thoughts about it suddenly it's clear the virus has come very close to the family the question is how close is he gave her the children infected or not because if they were then we'd have a 2 guaranteed definitive definitely yes. that would mean i couldn't keep working as a doctor he even though she's urgently needed right now she plans to get tested the

next day. and in germany the number of corona infections has risen sharply this questioning the developments are not good and. we're all in a crisis where the magnitude always i could never have imagined of washington and we all have to be aware that the fight against the virus using the marathon is. a new day begins one that will bring more immense changes for the german capital's residents. this is where the distribution of corona patients in berlin is being coordinated the capital has around 600 intensive care beds with ventilators more than half of them are currently occupied by patients with other conditions like here at the half full her hospital senior doctor x. 2 part is checking the condition of an older patient he's one of 8 patients in

intensive care here only 2 of them are suspected of having the corona virus that's about to change course and the biggest worry is really that we could see the proportions we hear about in italy france and spain. and then there will be situations where one has to decide who is one even try to save what i think everyone is afraid of that situation. this patient is stable now it's time to focus on preparing for corona patients axl show part has to make sure that everyone on his team knows the procedure as well as we know how to change that in our emergency management plan. everyone has to be on the same page when corona patients are brought in so far they've only seen one confirmed case while still part updates the emergency management plan a call suddenly comes through from another station. ok and there's suspicion of

corona what. he suspects that. ok we'll go in the 5th floor. ok mark does it make sense if we come down with one of our beds you can't ok it doesn't matter or doesn't i don't know. the procedures have been talked through but they're not yet routine good morning how's it looking. virus routine is suddenly interrupted at 7 o'clock he's standing with his neighbor outside his store today berlin hasn't acted a further measure in the fight against corona retailers are supposed to close.

despite everything the question is when will it take effect when you have to close after it's been pronounced. my neighbor says i'm not allowed to open what now what's likely binding but. it's complicated by a believes the order isn't yet official if the shop has to close immediately he won't be able to sell anything a huge financial loss looms the flowers will wither so he simply opens up then comes good news at least for today. my neighbor just told me that the department store nearby is open today and closes from tomorrow onwards. so i still have one trading day to soft goods prevent further losses. a. week has gone by since we began filming a curfew is still

a possibility. and federal governments have agreed to wide ranging measures to curb the spread of coronavirus and some of them were given these and more strictly enforce these measures when severely penalize infringements on them. police say many people stayed home this weekend or practiced social distancing while shopping . but the number of infections that continues to rise by. a soundtrack for the crisis the normally line from the streets feel empty even during the day many stay home. including the bilk a family one of the children's teachers has tested positive for corona virus so the kids have to be quarantined i helping with the choice from now on the family take over filming duties themselves the mother

a doctor is urgently needed at work she's organized to be tested she explains the situation to her children. and. they said that one of the teachers was sick and now all the kids who were at the kindergarten up until the 13th a week before last have to stay at home for 2 weeks that includes you. that means you've already finished the 1st week now it's just until this friday ok right and so just until friday we're not allowed to but. we have to see if you get sick parents can decide for themselves. i know it's hard. so they stay in the apartment they're not even allowed into their courtyard. running around has to happen indoors. when that.

the message of the day is persevered it's quarantine at least until the test results they're not happy about it. i'd like it better if we were outside. oh really i thought you were enjoying all the things we were doing inside and crafts and make i mean. that's good too but i find it a bit silly because going outside and going for walks and smugly and when we're not allowed then it's sand and actually we're allowed to decide about our own bodies ourselves. while. they try to maintain some kind of normality so they don't get cabin fever. those who are allowed outside abide by the new social distancing rules the number

of infections keeps rising. and that's something senior dr axels top out as well aware of a patient with a suspected coronavirus infection is about to arrive after the gown the doctor needs a hood gloves mask and safety glasses that's the policy. isn't designer unfroze. in this particular case it's a patient with a suspected infection. so he's being taken to the secure room with a double door. the point is above all to protect ourselves so that we potentially don't get infected in this there were signs of. so far there's only been one confirmed case here that means there is no routine yet. and i mean it's. if you follow the current directions the protective gear we have

should be fine of course there's always a certain risk it's it's if. the patient has serious underlying health conditions his lung function is strongly impaired are you getting enough there. he's already out of it or. they want to save the patient but still have to comply with strict regulations. does everyone have a mask on. even though time is of the essence the procedures have to be followed so access to pat has to briefly leave the room. when it's there by him all there are mistakes in following the procedures i just happen to me and no one noticed the kind of sorts but at some point i realized i didn't have my protective glasses on when i went into the room of these for the next time we should internally discuss how to hand over such patients in

a more precise way so everyone is ready with their protective gear and nothing gets forgotten i guess and. for now the patient is stable later at the confirmation arrives though corona infection but axel still pat has to prepare for many corona infected patients in an emergency the hospital could activate an extra 20 ventilators the doctor hopes that will be enough and that he won't ever have to decide whose life he can save and whose he cannot. back at the supermarket manager mr lind is determined to protect his staff and keep the customers waiting in line from getting too close to each other. up it's not like i'm worried about dying i worry about what i would cause if i got sick. i could in fact column and i might have to close my store is it i just don't know for now i'll keep improvising.

but you can use this to exchange cash basically you can hide it or set it down. because someone throws the money in you put the change in any hand of. necessity is the mother of invention and lint wants to protect his staff as best as he can for every register he's devised a sneeze guard he tried to source plexiglas from a hardware store without success but clothes racks in cling wrap should do the job . also had her and $0.04 on the front lines of the crisis the workers here are suddenly a vital part of the response to the virus and a few customers are expressing their appreciation. import we have to quickly show you a good example so i. and others to everyone who works here thank you that the shop is open but you're holding fast through the craziness and for your patients and your courage stay healthy and happy

from your neighbors that really tugs at the heart beautiful out with your. florist today via is also doing ok he has to close his store and figure out what to do with his new shipment of fresh flowers but he and a coworker have set up a stall in a nearby square and in order to get rid of as many flowers as possible they're offering special deals. before we throw them away of course we add an extra bunch and give people a good price to get rid of as many as possible nothing is worse than throwing them away that's just senseless. so far business is better than expected at least the restrictions on going out have a small positive side effect for. a lot of people really really keen to have something beautiful for their home to make their home really nice. plaster put on the balcony or the terrorists or whatever they might have. it's lovely you need

a little something to lift your mood. it's the end of day 4 of the ban on close social contact but also germany's institute says it can't yet say how effective the imposed regulations will be combating corona. we already have many infected people in germany and one morning many deaths. but this is the calm before the storm. the minister of agriculture has again called on people not to panic because of the crisis. back in the supermarket with manager michel lind he's been open for half an hour already today there is no sign of the kind of panic buying of recent days it's because we're not letting so many in lintas had to resort to exceptional measures he's hired security now only 20 customers can be in the store at one time so little can now focus on other things for instance together

with other traders $20000.00 euros have been collected for a local food bank this will help provide groceries to those in need during the pandemic he wants to be there when it's handed over. it's like a ghost look out there at the train empty i must say that looks really positive. i was upset a few days ago now i have to say i get the impression the message is getting through to people that. buy them injured. some other traders convince to lindt to take part the truck with the groceries is about to arrive. that truck yes this is looking good here we go look i'm smiling again. let's get it open because that's really cool of i think truck and the food bank

will distribute them to those in need you're good now. you somehow get the feeling now that you did something good we all did the right thing and. i think that's cool it's really fun and it's suddenly taken your mind off everything and maybe it will all come back in a minute when we get back in the car but right now you have to say helping makes things better. so michelle lind has found a way to deal with the stress such willingness to help might not be to the virus but it will help make life more bearable during the crisis no one knows when the virus will disappear but it certainly will change society perhaps even a bit for the better.

keep calm. and sort of create. some. yes some new. music a kind of culture walk to me a sunny a phenomena. a family on a level. 30 minutes to. the global corona crisis you can find more information online t w dot com don t w social media channels. this
