a small protective of the monarchy yeah via laws. they're intended to protest they're intended to protect the most senior members of the tarboro family and they . upheld with the ultimate force a 112 of the articles from the country's criminal code says anyone who defames insults or threatens the king queen or the heir apparent or the regent will be punished with up to 15 years in prison and they do that on a regular basis in the last 7 years there's been $100.00 cases brought into the courts despite that well out of protesters in the streets the complaints can be filed by anyone against anyone by the way they must always be formally investigated . by formally investigated by the place now more than 100 people have been charged since the military so given the monica's protective status if i put it that way ask how did we get here in somewhat of a rush the former king his status of moral authority was almost never questions while his son ascended to the throne and was a and board along with him a lot of tabloid stories and i'm not saying they would hold up in the court of law

but when this topic is now in the court of public opinion and that's that's the whole thing and it seems very unlikely that facebook and the action against the military government is going to overturn anything but that said it also same's in law unlawfully that the government can put this genie back in the bottle another facebook page started just 24 hours ago about this topic has already got 500000 followers all right so that's not going to go away quickly and today how it found here for that. of the world's fastest man has tested positive for they coronavirus you saying bolt is now a self isolating at home in jamaica according to the country's health ministry news comes days after the world record sprinter celebrated his 34th birthday at a mosque free party he won gold in the 10200 meters of the last 3 lympics and retired 3 years ago. the 1st jump from a solar powered aircraft has been completed above swift skies rafaela domi on took

combating the corona pandemic. where does research stand. what are scientists learning. background information and news in. our corona update. coded 19 special next on d w. how does a virus spread. why do we panic and when will all of this i am trying to do through the topics covered and weekly radio show is called spectrum if you would like any information on the chrono larysa or any other to science topic you should really check out our podcast you can get it wherever you get your podcast you can

also find us at twitter dot com slash science. they call themselves long holders or long tail it's some have been sick almost as long as the new coronavirus has been around. covert 19 is causing more long term damage than thought. as a. problem diagnosed with some blood clots smaller blood clots in or if my lungs then i got a lot of response to treat problems your doctors just do not understand why i've still got blood clots but i want them to find out what's going on. after curve at 19 i lost almost half my hair. the hospitals and we hope the

majority of the lesser symptoms will disappear after a time but as with the 1st sas pandemic will almost certainly witnessed permanent health issues but to what extent is our 9 thousands of people of all ages staying sick for weeks even months a study by denmark's alice university found a 3rd of corona patients suffered long term side effects for some the virus just comes and goes or just doesn't go rather it stays the disease can damage the lungs heart and brain increasing the risk of long term health problems suzanna husband were among the 1st people in germany to contract the coronavirus back in march as they emerged from quarantine 2 weeks later they thought everything would be fine but we were wrong. because even now 5 months later suzanne to head for of a she is still suffering from the effects of the virus before she was very active

and highly sporty that's all changed. as you can see muhtar i'm very tired i can easily go to bed and fall asleep at 8 o'clock that wasn't the case before and that's the main problem the tiredness it's really debilitating she's not alone many doctors say they see patients who are struggling to fully recover after an acute coronavirus infection years the person's posts here we're seeing patients who are dogged by health problems for weeks even months afterwards even though the virus is no longer present and they should actually be healthy again the eigen lish. science or. nicole has also suffers from exhaustion during her illness with coronavirus she lost her sense of taste and smell morning coffee. just for me

it's very limiting because i can't really explain it it's something that really affects my quality really affects my quality of life. the cause could be an impairment in the all factory bould during the sars outbreak in 2002 experiments on animals showed the virus could work its way through the nerve endings in the linings of the nose and the olfactory in damage because with patients who present only with impairments to their senses of taste and smell which is a common neurological symptoms neurological symptom when we investigate them with imaging we can see damage to the factory bulb. the psychological stress of any proper symptoms and he's only started to feel really bad since he recovered since he recovered he has pains in his joints his knees really hurt he constantly has the feeling that he's out of breath also optimism as yet no one knows what is actually causing such symptoms or how long

they could go on for researches across the globe are working to come up with answers but it will be some time before they have them all of course joins us from the university of go to get away he's a senior physician great to have you on the show you found covered 1000 can affect the kidneys early on and that can be detected detected in a urine sample what's that mean for the course of the disease. yes indeed well we not all that sucker of haitian the quick 19 get sicker than others so days after onset of symptoms me we know that some need i.c.u. care and much allergy so our idea actually was to diffuse the urine to it identify the sucker earlier in terms of well once the urine gets closer to if in terms of the organ infection tells us that this patient is at risk. so

i actually use this urine sample. to identify you as i'm with the organ failure patient that's less so this is a good warning sign of a serious infection are there other warning signs to yes i think there are however if you imagine yourself being affected as a cope with 19 patients being at home canteen it is hard for your family doctor to check you every day for all different science of. organ failure so if you use this you don't dipstick it's easy to use like a pregnancy test it makes it a lot easier for your family doctor to to identify your year that you are at risk. and so once you are identified the family doctor will take a closer look at even transfer you to the hospital what about knowing yourself

whether whether or not you're at risk before it even gets that far mean some people had mild symptoms some have now and others get really sick that does it all come down to how healthy we are. it's a very good question that is rarely how to answer because we are still in the one phase in college 19 and the data are confusing. everywhere in the world so let me pick 2 factors that i think are quite important here the 1st vector is better so if you are a male in your sixty's or sixty's. and if your immune system simply over x. and we don't know why some it was it's a systems over eric to become seriously ill some other factors of course are being overweight or being a smoker and that that also play

a role here. and the 2nd i think even more important factor is exposed for and so the higher the virus load you are exposed to the higher your risk is. think of this. people being in operation potties they really had a high exposure and by the way that the highest exposure extreme have for their health care workers at the emergency departments and i.c.u. is being exposed to go to europe patients so please be aware that the health care workers are at the highest risk and definitely when it comes back to the patient if they take all the boxes initial to get seriously ill what measures can you take . well just to make sure that this is not an official recommendation by myself or your rosacea as there were as of my personal

opinion here is. if our rhythm including the ewing dipstick tells you that this patient is at risk i would consider it 2 points the 1st point is to anticoagulation yourself more aggressively in 2 to korea instrumentality iran's because we know that from the impala given major to plan the setting and the 2nd point is that once you are at risk to deteriorate it was very tempting to start the antiviral medication you actually have earlier before you would get sicker briefly as far as the length of time that a patient can suffer as a possible to predict the extent of damage. we

really do not know it would not be fair to if you're clear answer you're. just don't know enough about the the long term consequences of quick 19. for sure we know. at present that this isn't which a disciplinary just a clean we need to take care of and so we course sure need all the internists a specialty is after this infection to to make sure that for example. the chronic renal failure might suffer after this infection is detected and treat each any physicians out of a course at the university of getting and thank you very much for joining us today . you'll turn to ask the questions if you haven't already getting contact on how you tube channel will get out science correspondent eric williams to look into a topics you bring to being with a study mostly they agree that people who are living with hiv and that are

on an effective treatment program where the antiviral medication are not any more likely to contract or die from covert 19 and then people who don't have a child you know aspect of that though is certainly antiviral therapies that are keeping their disease in check the united nations program that's response program that's responsible for global action on hiv he has warns that in 2020 there could be up to half a 1000000 additional aids deaths in sub-saharan africa alone caused not by patients catching code 19 but occasions that those occasions that those patients need to survive in the fight against aids fight against aids over the last decade. and just briefly you don't need a crystal ball to know this was coming kentucky fried chicken is temporarily
