just seen a strong state can be useful all this weeks and months my new sometimes we need to add even when we're down to 100 percent so it's interesting that the suits a hobby. the pandemic has thrown political accountability and personal tragedy into sharp relief be. covert 1000 patients they want. this 62 year old woman is running a fever and having trouble breathing textbook symptoms of pneumonia. she will spend

the next 39 days fighting for her life. we don't film her every day. some scenes are reconstructions based on her medical records how does this virus affect our bodies and where did it come from. in central china has a population of over 11000000 this is where the virus was 1st identified but as this word originated. chinese critics will later claim that the sars c.o.v. 2 strain was created in a lab and according to another theory it jumped from wild animals to humans at a wet market and. whatever the origin by december 21000 the city's hospitals were struggling to contain an outbreak of unknown etiology. and late december we received a signal that there were

a cluster of an explain the manja a new one and china we had no diagnosis and it could have been flu and so we activated our networks to verify the event every day. well you know go. to a single source like most single source outbreaks were ready called through it. though. one of the 1st doctors to sound the alarm was lead when young. un december 30th he warned his colleagues and local hospitals be a private chat group. one hour later one member wrote.

me replied. lee's worst fears were confirmed when authorities moved to silence him. he was interrogated by the police force to sign a letter of reprimand and a promise to stop spreading rumors time was running out. in the u.k. yet and his family were unaware of the extent of the danger posed by the new virus in early january he took his father to his annual medical check up. at this point the news the online media and video sites were all reporting that there was no

human to human transmission. and that the break was under control and it spread could be avoided. today he believes his father contracted the virus during that routine check up on january the 15th he came down with a fever. but across china it was still business as usual preparations for the lunar new year celebrations were underway. millions of people were traveling across the country to visit family. meanwhile a young father was fighting for his life. he was transferred to a hospital where coded 1000 patients were being isolated. little made so on coming here triggers hellish memories. on call vote on fever my father die on the 12th floor of that building their home in

a car. you know that this was the evening before he died pictures of those. he's saying goodbye to my mother maya video challenged us live in. he's convinced that his father's death could have been avoided had the 140 sworn to the virus sooner. while the spread of covert $1000.00 gathered pace and the rest of the world germany included was focused on other issues. in australian istanbul's he stared lot it's

a kind and the death of bush and the incest they're also sure mr president made a video about actions on and look today actually out. how we once on a farm mag and that system can stay healthy into the clinically feel whole hype. only a handful of scientists understood the gravity of the situation. at the biotech company cierra back in 2 bingham researchers were anxiously awaiting the 1st novel coronavirus genome sequence and after the tour began after the christmas break we agreed to start as soon as the sequence was made available by the sixpence dies i couldn't do it even if we changed our minds later and yeah we decided to start the same day and not waste any time night and. the high stakes international rights to develop a vaccine against the new virus was on. researchers in berlin were also getting to work with one of the 1st diagnostic tests for coping $1000.00 was developed at her lyn shari tay hospital. before long it was apparent that scientists worst fears

were being realized. just to be heard in he not yet stool how does not need to give him the all slide on this noise to get in coal one of you will is to stop. them as you want to be stepped up to the full. in who bay province some 60000000 people faced a travel ban and were soon effectively under house arrest. neighborhood committees were set up to supervise entry and exit points and make sure residents had regular food supplies. kena is china is a surveillance state we knew that before the coronavirus crisis seeking most of in and that paid off in this case because the state is evil to use existing surveillance infrastructure here to efficiently impose strict local locked and shut

downs dual fuel called. the one party state was affective but it also made sure any dissent was squashed. kovac 1000 patients they 3. the 62 year old patient's condition is deteriorating fast her breathing is so labored that she requires him to patient an artificial respiration. her lungs are severely inflamed. but by day 5 her condition starts to improve she's response of things are looking up. and when one talks none of them want her in common such. doesn't know you all to get hold of you

was hot. deferments it's to. find us we bust orange dr off. again also he not i'm going to stick to believe me that's often feel says it and stiff you know but if you wish to take dish. t.v. there's a lot to get this kind in order. by january 31st some 12000 cases of the new coronavirus have been registered almost all of them in china. but the 1st cases outside the country are now also being recorded. miti on the way in january governments were being told to guess how epidemic plans are be playing inside a crisis or of she unfolding a number of countries took it seriously because they took pry experience of. one of the 1st countries to launch a rapid response to the coronavirus was taiwan. lim

a short was responsible for containing the spread of her neighborhood. got them all right and i'm sure wasn't a. minor issue. in the short as a township mayor some of her new responsibilities include checking up on people who are sheltering at home and bringing them food supplies and reading material it's a social service provided by the city of taipei but it also next social control or did you check your temperature today when that the 100 it was normal do you have a right. you know see her cause any of these symptoms that we know nothing. nothing that's great mr mao has just returned from the us he has to quarantine for 2 weeks . he receives financial assistance while he stays at home. i cannot believe this because if i won't be so oh then

the c.d.c. or the police. will know. even as garbage is taken care of i mean a simple trash collector specifically comes by to pick up garbage from homes of people in quarantine. it separate it from other waste and incinerated. chin chin jen was minister for health during the 2003 sars outbreak that claimed 73 lives in taiwan. and. i think that we have prepared for this. pandemic for 17 years after this break we came across the. avian flu and then that will one day me so both entire. health administration as well as i was in the sea org have practiced the how to talk about pandemic there

were plans. that included stockpiling face masks unlike in many western countries taiwan ramped up its production of surgical masks. so. each person was allowed to purchase 2 every 7 days. taiwan never imposed a strict lockdown like the one and move on. the small island proved to the rest of the world that it was indeed possible to contain the virus by late august only 7 people had died a covert 1000 in taiwan. years of preparation as well as extensive contact tracing and serve the authorities well. the west meanwhile remained oblivious to the oncoming threat or were they simply indifferent 9 months from now we are going to take back the house.

oh. oh oh why. didn't the international and fin fish be that big on land. the ice that i own up to i saved 1000 communalism. unseen target of opportunity and then caught about its whole walking on what i knew how to talk to you then who point out i just did a ton of holes and style to completion soon. france too had yet to ban mass gatherings. the christian open door church a french evangelical mega church. a 5 day rally held here became ground 0 for the epidemic in france. there hasn't been a service here for weeks. pastor sam you read it to schmidt is devastated.

for model girl the wallies which breaks my heart to see the church so empty it's especially hard because i know how fun it normally is. over 2000 worshippers attended the prayer meeting and did february. this annual gathering is a highlight on the church calendar for 5 days the community sings prays and dances together longer also a smaller less looking back i would say the mood was utterly normal in the rest of the world almost everything was still mainly a final meal on demand at the time the problem was restricted to asian country students to china and want to teach circle so that as. a false sense of security to prove disastrous for all on the 2nd day of the gathering president emanuel michael visited the city of new who was and gave a speech about islamic separatism just

a few 100 meters from the church he spent an hour shaking hands with members of the public no one more masks no one practiced social distancing was mid february large gatherings were still nothing unusual. from head to mass gatherings should have been banned everywhere much and. as a d.'s a these aspects of society that are taken for granted should have been challenge. is style but no one wanted to make a decision that would have made them politically unpopular. france was slow to realize how far the outbreak had progressed the religious gathering and lose contributed to a countrywide infection. thousands of attendees are believed to a transmitted the virus. by february china was flattening the curve in march the number of new infections in

europe exceeded those in china. or ranking of countries by corona related deaths per 1000000 made europe the new epicenter of the pandemic. just going to be able. to alice once think. comfy can call one i mean does this once and talk this idea also spent they get in a whole month and if you shift us to home some coffee basket shows and big could take. 15 am dame vinter. say and it's called i want to be a once in. a version you employ him in these instruments but everything you go to must in the unfun finish so. this was a story example of how economic interests can take

a priority over public health concerns will assume that 40 to 50 percent of infections in germany can be traced back to issue bills rolled lets out the austrian authorities intervene sooner things may have turned out very differently from germany and austria and i think. by the end of winter break in mid march it became clear that the virus had reached germany. despite the warning signs the country was not fully prepared. on march 7th martin your traveled to switzerland with her family and some friends no lockdown measures had yet been introduced the country was considered low risk. but all 7 of them came down with a new virus. they had no idea how they could have contracted it. they had attended any large parties. and. the animal was we'd never experienced anything

like it before and we all felt ill i lived we all had the same awful symptoms and all of us had it equally bad. it had us very worried after. her husband and daughter were the 1st to show symptoms on the journey home. once they'd arrived her husband's condition worsened. back in germany they couldn't even reach a doctor. on the other 2 tougher laws and a few times i were completely on our own this got past he wasn't seen by a doctor he couldn't get any medicine were isolated we were in a bad way i felt so was banned and i wondered what would happen if i died and i didn't know how sick i was i can't even see my doctor. and i was down on my bench and i realized the only option was to call the emergency services i talk to my

sister because my parents were both so sick and together we decided to call the emergency number. mom was transferred to intensive care she had pneumonia caused by the corona virus. by now the health authorities and hospitals in germany were bracing for disaster. suddenly there was growing public concern about the potential impact of a covert 1000 outbreak. the w.h.o. recommends countries stockpile personal protective equipment in order to be prepared for a pandemic however there was a shortage in germany. into knots or the authorities reliant on international supply chains. there was this assumption that if they suffered a shortage somewhere so they could order it from china and have it delivered into denny's but the supply chain disrupted. meanwhile politicians and scientists were arguing about the usefulness of facemasks

. zoid to. moscow to guard a transitional pm one should still feel it. should see the example. of somebody in this claw. devoid of a blood to reason for him. it only became mandatory to wear a face mask in shops and on public transport by late april after the pandemic had peaked in germany by the over 6000 people had already died. covert 900 patient day night after initial signs of recovery her condition has deteriorated dramatically. she has severe difficulty breathing and the doctors have no experience in tackling this new disease they can make contact and if we don't know it's clinical progression it's like a marathon and we're probably only about 20 kilometers into it times

a. day 12 the doctors are surprised to detect a bacterial superbug the patient is administered a high dose of antibiotics. ok. the virus was attacking her organs and her liver starts to fail it becomes clear just how unpredictable this new virus can be. good. contact. socialism. my thought and.

fortunately germany could afford to give not only business but also the health system a financial boost. hospitals prepare for the epidemic but you're marking thousands of beds in intensive care for covert 1000 patients. the fact that germany invests a substantial amount of its resources and health care appear to be paying off. for guests and does for their cause we shouldn't forget that prior to the current crisis gemini was often criticized for having too many hospitals or too many intensive thank you. prior to the crisis this was seen as a floor in the system but now it's proven to be a strain. which allowed us to take appropriate measures and then. in a further effort to contain the spread of the virus the government also increased testing

capacity germany didn't want to make the same mistakes as france or italy. there's always an element clearly and i think we were lucky that the crisis it's really 1st served as a wall. the general public is also touche it's going to be also got lucky with the best so close not because it causes a lot of other virus. to fall in the computer was. led by chancellor merkel who holds a doctorate in quantum chemistry the german government followed the advice of experts as it said about tackling the epidemic. by now the epicenter of the crisis had shifted to the us. new york city began digging mass graves for its countless victims.

the white house also consulted with experts. but unlike in germany their advice wasn't always heeded. and it's a president trump. on soft fear fastens those. and then i see the disinfectant but not. in a minute one minute and is there a way we can do something. injection while i feel about vaccines like a feel of a test this is going to go away with a lot of the x c it's going to go away and we're not going to see it again anybody that needs a test gets a test we go there they have the test and the test a beautiful anybody that needs it just gets it. donald trump failed to keep his promise. to new york city elect the test kits when they needed them the most. the city's health commissioner was growing desperate. we had been loudly

pleading for testing to come to our jurisdiction. and what happened was that you know things happen and the unfortunate story is that the testing. that we got in new york city didn't work. the u.s. a world power completely mishandled the response to the pandemic. to this day it still failed to control the spread. before long angry americans were taking to the streets to vent their fury and anti lock down protests. the u.s. has no short term work scheme like germany's and no uniform health system. many people have no health insurance the unemployment rate nearly tripled in april. most here have coded 1000 symptoms and free testing is the only way they can find out if they have the virus. in mid july 25 percent of tests in arizona came back positive

. it's shocking how many people really need to be tested you know but i think we closed last and opened earliest i think possibly and i think that that was a huge problem and i would see people i know my apt next door complaining about wearing masks or wanting to go to bars and their rights being you know taken away and i just thought that was beyond ridiculous. fearful of the economic toll arizona was slow to respond to the pandemic then it lifted restrictions to sue. as a result the number of cases has skyrocketed. the u.s. might be one of the wealthiest nations in the world but few countries have been a severely hit by the pandemic. kovac 1000 patient day 15. you try to apply everything you know about medicine. but even then you find yourself overtaken by events.

the patient has developed new symptoms. a life threatening clot in her long a pulmonary embolism blood thinners aren't helping her circulation is collapsing. the doctors ordered the family. by now doctors have learned that this is a typical development the virus attacks not only the longs but the blood vessels to . day 22. the patient undergoes a lifesaving emergency tracheotomy. poor countries have been defeated by the pandemic such as nigeria. at night during lockdown the streets of lagos are dangerous. residents have set up a citizens' militia. attacks

are increasingly commonplace. overwhelmed by the challenges of the fentanyl the state is powerless to intervene. we well drive a. strike very aggressive with. which they realize. this. impossible really. officially nigerians are supposed to stay home for 36 days mass gatherings or cancel. 36 year old more roof abdul salam has lost his job because of the lock down . he doesn't have any savings. he's a sound engineer and has his own small studio. events provided him with most of his

income. now that they've been cancelled he's lost his livelihood on the river i know staying indoors and social distancing is the best solution to tackle corona and get her government should give us something to eat even if it comes weekly a monthly set up we can all survive this pandemic which he did you know. he and his wife live with their 4 children in a tiny apartment. i mean back in the neighborhood we have been asking our neighbors and close relatives for food and assistance and doctors how we have been able to survive tragically. the public has been given little support during lockdown. the government has a limited food distribution scheme which has led to stampede says people scramble

to collect the meagre supplies offered in nigeria knocked on measures have failed to contain disaster from spreading i think it's very important to look at how people. leaving and say ok what would be the best measure to reduce transmission and then work it out like that and not just copy and paste what has been done in a country. like that. the ideal solution of course is a backseat one that is widely available. in 1000 patient day 27. after the tracheotomy the patient's condition improved today the nurses managed to help her into a chair she's awake and can respond to questions by nodding or shaking her head recent weeks had seen her condition fluctuate dramatically but she now appears to be stabilizing. and the doctors consider transferring her out of intensive care.

for her and that you know by the time. we have yet to fully understand this tiny novel virus. researchers are skeptical if it really only spread from one to europe in january. the out but schweitzer hospital in france. had a radiology has examined hundreds of covert 1000 patients and made an interesting discovery. if you can explain after what happened in march and april it occurred to me to look through our records beginning in the summer of 2019 to see if there was anything unusual. given just of. a long x. ray made on november 16th showed typical signs of

a coded 1000 infection. tool and it was especially noticeable is this opaque area that it would be. he found another suspicious case in november 12 more december. i think he missed we thought this was an unusual flu also the patient had a high temperature a long embolism pneumonia but it didn't matter up vision issues can can correspond if. later he gave the patients an antibody test all came back positive. the french radiologists findings tie in with the studies conducted in other countries. a number of indications suggest that the virus was already spreading around the world in late fall of 2019. what we know is when the virus has been detected. initially and then who and and but maybe does virus came from somewhere else in china where and we don't know really if if the the really

1st time this virus emerge was. market in the world. at this stage it seems unlikely many scientists believe the virus was transmitted from animals to humans in south china or neighboring countries long before it was detected it was hard. but the outbreak and marked the start of an international race to find a vaccine only a vaccine can stop the pen demick. the company cura back into being and that's hard at work. a vaccine is a production here in this tank. the research is top secret. the company began production in april hoping to get a head start. it

was a high risk move but molly all of 14 blood check is confident she made the right decision when she approved development of a vaccine in january. they had all spotted that on time is of the essence of tech that everyone is expecting a vast amount of vaccines to be available certainly. the company is pinning its hopes on the substance could it be the silver bullet the world is waiting for. some 30 vaccines are currently being tested on humans right now will cure vax back scene prove effective and safe in trials. everything goes right through. any vaccine that ends up going to market will need to be widely available.

missing out let's leak from knowledgeable we need to vaccinate everybody my 120 year olds to newborns order for soup and only then can we start to eat couvade 19 and as many people as possible around the world are vaccinated for. cheese much with vaccination programs that are merely a local or national. are not soon to come and are made being the guy. but inevitably most governments put the interests of their own people 1st. countries they can afford to can order supplies of the vaccine the race to develop a vaccine has become a race for political power. this is good other and it was even invented biden that hannan or him show off one of your their bones by tripping up you were taken to naming a queue of you as we haven't had the industry to meet in the beauty and i'm ganna.

to not make me go no i don't pick you up or him lance inch nails. have ed have a seat in ag i. guess we can use usenet soon the small. and for the 1st time in the world a vaccine against the new corona virus was registered work through the different we could only use the insurance you will know it with which we have repeatedly addressed that china is leading the world in vaccine development for covert 19 year given. the pandemic has become political a battleground in which leading nations by for power. but when it comes to managing the pandemic bashing us far ahead of washington. china is no longer in crisis but playing the role of the savior dispatching p p e and deploying doctors all over the world.

now or machine to shoulder let's make concerted efforts to protect the life and health of people in all countries mean that you can conquer their own home you know who. in the us the virus rages on embarrassing the white house administration as it ravages the public. has trumped continues to blame his domestic crisis on china. his america 1st slogan has never wrong so hollow. china's cover up of the will harden virus allow the disease to spread all over the world china has total control over the world health organization we will be today terminating our relationship with the world health organization. the us is losing its world superpower status. and china is eager to take over the leading role it long played in geopolitics. the skinnies are more dated viewed

securely locked in the chinese model is sure to gain popularity in a way through this crisis this killing given how efficiently china was able to limit the number of deaths minimize economic fallout many are likely to see. by our democratic systems solution too weak the image you see into long some. covert 19 patients day 35 today were allowed to film. a. half unbelievable yesterday or thought she was getting better. i thought we'd be able to transfer this soon. to 62 year old patient has acute kidney and liver failure the doctors don't understand. they still don't know what to expect. and pretty soon they think when you think you're close to the cold. someone comes up from behind and tackles union. or painted yellow peoples the dilated.

in the liver thing massive. vollmer place to put it we have to respond immediately. day 38. x. rays show that her abdominal muscles are inflamed. the doctors have never seen anything like it. for organs are failing and there's nothing they can do. the patient appears to be losing the fight. day $39.00 at 10 o 2 the patient is pronounced dead massive organ failure. the global pandemic has been wreaking turmoil around the world for just over 8 months. in taiwan the government continues to manage the

situation well so far there have only been 500 infections. in germany the infections are once again on the rise like many others modern humans are or it is still suffering from the long term effects of covert 19 she still has some difficulty breathing and hasn't fully recovered her sense of taste for anything when i see how carefree young people are i want to shake her and say guys you have no idea how much you might suffer if you get this illness. in early august nigeria extended the 2nd phase of a nationwide lockdown by 4 weeks the country has avoided the worst. experts wonder if this is because its population is relatively young. in china after talking to us and you pay us came under pressure from the police and was forbidden from giving any further interviews. according to beijing the economy saw modest growth in the

2nd quarter of 2020. the us economy continues to reel. in november the country goes to the polls trust response to the pandemic could impact the election. covered 19 has claimed over 290000000 lives worldwide and will continue to claim many more the virus still isn't under control and the outlook is far from encouraging. do it yourself kenyan style lincoln while my build the electric wheelchairs from scrap metal. he wants to help people with physical disabilities in an environmentally conscious way his clients are very enthusiastic.
