very cramped conditions there's no soap it's impossible for people to take even the most basic hygiene precautions and that's what's worrying because it means they cannot do anything to stop the spread of the virus if it were to arrive in the capital the aid organization doctors without borders runs a hospital here on the outskirts of the camp there are hardly any coronavirus testing kits and this is shortage of doctors many patients already have respiratory illnesses and weakened immune ety which makes it much easier to contract the virus . we have a lot of people who are very vulnerable anyway we have a lot of very sick children also suffering from chronic diseases diabetes very serious mental health issues and obviously we have adults to have been traumatized so it's difficult to predict but in principle all these people are extremely vulnerable to yet another health threat the greek government says it's prepared for

this scenario that there is a chronic crisis plan but the camps aid organization says they get to see it. that's why they're taking matters into their own hands. and team humanity is small n.g.o.s refugees so surge. musk's they can make up to 300 today. their volunteers are amazing in this room i was sitting there from 7 o'clock in the morning on till 9 in the evening and just want to do it would tell them to go break they don't want to take a break i just want to work they want to help they know how dangerous this is everybody knows this is because of this threat there's really only one solution which is that the european union must now do everything possible to evacuate these people as quickly as possible let's pause morea camp is not a place where you can handle a potential corona threat and the action needs to come now. but as european countries continue to seal off their borders many refugees are afraid they'll be

a different difficult time for all of us and i don't know how long time we are going to drive because we got today information that we did use our. buses from tomorrow i hope that i will get enough money to survive but it's not. taurus disappearing social distancing and efforts to limit time in public mean that ever more berliners staying close to home commuters especially steering clear of public transport to spice it keeping a regular schedule check seems to a fair a little better because. these measures have been implemented. but on the other hand it's affecting quality of life. at work there's not a lot to do many people can't go out and older people are scared. and that's a little sad of course. culture of all tastes has been hit hard here at the door

that may be a challenge in coming weeks for children and adults alike. people in the u.s. capital washington are also suffering the consequences of the kobe 19 epidemic especially those who are current teens at home. lockdown hits home it's an experience liz burns and her family could have never imagined but since they're all p.r. was hospitalized with a high fever the burns are quarantined inside their house the only way we can conduct an interview is by phone through the window. initially they like something you know and weren't too worried about it and sent me home and she did it all while they continue to run. over the next 24 hours because there are more cats and

realize she was negative for everything else and no. 9 1 to get her. were very unsuccessful the whole health authorities said that she. was burns blames the u.s. government for not responding to the coronavirus threat quickly enough big could have done a lot more at the beginning. i think we should have learned from the pandemic that had happened and asia and. other countries on it very quickly and forcefully. on the streets of washington d.c. life has slowed down dramatically the usually busy streets remain empty restaurants are open only for takeouts. universities and schools and many states remain closed putting additional strain on students and families. of the albert einstein high school in the state of maryland stuff pans out bag lunches offering some

efforts to combat the virus go far beyond china. research is all over the globe are racing to contain it. and children of chinese scientists published the genetic code of the virus in early january enabling scientists around the world to start working on it. at home home university pathologists of grain the new coronavirus and human tissue to find out more about its properties one of the basic. things which people. to know about this farce is the firstly what is a place in respect of the fact or in the human body in which the us is replicating and the 2nd is what sort of damage is it causing to the body and then also to see how the body reacts to this virus damage. the ultimate goal in the fight against any virus is to find a vaccine multiple teams around the world already searching for the magic bullet

that can be used to immunize people one of them is based in belgium at the university of life and vaccine development takes 1015 years before a new vaccine may come so no the entire scientific community is trying to get foster there to through. help in this emergency. the belgian team's research is partly conducted in a robotic lab that separates researches from hazardous pathogens they hope that within a few weeks there will be able to test the 1st vaccine on mice. between mice and using this in humans is still a long long part because you need to do all kinds of tests safety tests and and animals and then you need to test it for safety and human volunteers. in germany's capital berlin physicist buckman and his colleagues have been working on a global risk assessment model analyzing flight data they calculate the risk of the

spread of the disease for different countries in the you know and in fact on my experience is that in this area of research all the teams around the world are very tightly knit we exchange all our data and information it wasn't like that during the a bullet crisis or the h one n one pandemic this is really new and neuer. the fight against the new corona virus is a race against time and while the response to the virus has been one of the quickest in recent history the west wing outbreaks in iran south korea and italy could be an indication of just how close that race will be. after. the artist.
