10:16 pm
a difference out. oh i'm glad you know who. here at the vibe clinic name back to back she's making great progress in late may she was admitted to hospital with bronchitis under severe fever an initial coronavirus test was negative but after another test from a lung she was diagnosed with covert 19 lists of pneumonia and inexperienced doctor put her on a respirator. moment. that feels at 1st like water running into your lungs i was terrified and feared for my life i almost had a heart attack my heart hurt for hours afterwards i screamed and cried i was in real trauma for several days afterwards. she's lived with the diagnosis for 6 weeks now under spent the last 2 here there are strict protective measures in place at the clinic director daniel of which is one of a handful of ex covert 1000 patients the others here are recovering from cancer
10:17 pm
surgery. so i repeat here consists of physical exercise breathing sessions and methods of relaxation directed on the elevator spends a lot of time here on the cross train a. dog and it's only been 3 days now that i haven't had to sleep so much and lie down during the day there is the strange extreme tiredness after covert. viewed tightness on the long lasting loss of taste are typical symptoms after covert 19 and. not surprising for us is that the damage done to the nerves during kovac 19 massively limits our patients mobility the psychological strain is also severe they've survived a life threatening disease and they keep thinking about what could have happened and. director danielle of it spends a lot of time thinking about her father he was in hospital with cancer and the coronavirus in the spring she was only allowed to visit when he was dying 2 days
10:18 pm
after his death she had the 1st symptoms self and couldn't attend his funeral something she discusses with the doctors here. more and more former covert 1000 patients are being admitted to rehabilitation in germany health insurance companies have started covering the costs to ease the pressure on hospitals dirt and yell of it is now immune and feels liberated. just a few days ago i laughed out loud for the 1st time that's when i thought oh here i am again i can laugh out loud and from the bottom of my heart that wasn't possible for weeks. she plans to get her immunity tested regularly but for now she's looking forward to life after 90. dozens of countries have launched contact tracing to monitor new covert actions in an effort to keep the virus contained it's been exactly one month since germany rolled its own and tonight we want to ask is
10:19 pm
it working. well to answer that my colleague i mean yes if you're here at the big table with me so i mean what do we know i mean has it made a difference well there's 2 things that health experts are looking at here that how many people have downloaded this app that's one thing and in germany that's looking pretty good 16000000 people have downloaded it in the 1st month or so marking the 130000000 that's right about it's about 19 percent and an oxford study said that in order for a an app like this to be effective at least 15 percent of the population have to use it another thing the experts are looking at is how people are using this app are people registering that they've tested positive for the corona virus and is this information being passed along to the other users of the app the problem here is that out in germany in this very privacy oriented data privacy are and they don't store user data so it's almost impossible to have any real statistics on how people are using that so if they're not storing it in the data. that is proof that
10:20 pm
conscious of data privacy is that a hindrance to actually trying to prevent the virus from being spread well yeah data privacy experts are praising this ad for how good it is and not field but it definitely is a hinderance to how how researchers how that app developers can look at how this app is working so in other words the question whether or not this half is working their stories are we we have to do and we have to assume it's working right everything is based on estimates so far whether or not that's affecting how it works is another question so there is no evidence in other words that the data privacy is actually making it worse and some people are even saying that is it's more functional because the real important figure here is how many people are using and the evidence says in germany 16000000 people 16000000 people have downloaded the app in other words the more data privacy the more people download the better
10:21 pm
the app where i propose a theory and. less big brother you have there you downloaded the app right on the day it was released i think and what's been your experience i see you're still looking healthy that's right yeah and i still have my privacy so i download this app and it was pretty easy i mean you just do it once you leave it on your phone you leave your bluetooth on i have a low risk assessment i have like a green box on my phone that says that i haven't come in contact with somebody who has the virus in the past 14 days that's a good sign there were some problems in the beginning it said that exposure logging was not possible and when i went through the steps to make exposure logon to turn that on it didn't change how the app was set so i couldn't figure that out hopefully that wasn't my fault but there are some reports of users experience being less than ideal but so far a lot of people have downloaded it and well that's good to me this new interest in the trust factor is really important there i mean yes it is always i mean thank you
