and. if you would like any more information on the crawl along or any other science topic. you can also find us. this is the. questions. of the. big question mark. by the pandemic. is appointed as knocked on destructions to the famous line.

the us ambassador. is wrapped. up. i'm british manager welcome to be wus a show of glad you could join us a world health organization team in china to investigate the audit of the code on the virus has ended its mission without definitive answers to the question on tuesday the team said the virus most likely jumps to humans from bats through an unknown into media the species scientist also called out the possibility that the virus leaked from a lab in the city of. the stated goal of the world health organization's mission was to identify the origins of the corona virus the mission they weren't able to

accomplish. sars cove 2 may have originated from 0 knowledge of transmission but the reservoir hosts remain to be identified so let's so all the work that has been done on the virus and trying to identify all regions continue to point to what's. reason of this virus and similar viruses in but population. it was here in just over a year ago that the world's 1st cases of the novel coronavirus were reported in the city of 10000000 went on a hard lockdown for 76 days only bare essentials were let into the city this market believed to be the ground 0 from where the virus spread was closed down testing samples were taken and it was fenced off. who hans hospitals were swamped with

patients in the images of the new deadly disease traveled around the world. about a year later w.h.o. experts arrived and. as well as scientific challenges they face diplomatic ones fears from the west that china might try to whitewash results and fears from beijing that the mission might be politicized. scientists spent 2 weeks in coron teen leaving just 2 more for field work including visits to the seafood market and the region's virological institute despite not accomplishing the missions main goal experts say they were able to all but eliminate a controversial theory that the virus had come from a lab oratory and. the findings suggest that the laboratory incidents hypotheses. he's extremely unlikely and.

to explain the introduction of the virus into the human population but the more pressing question identifying the intermediary species that might have transmitted the virus from bats to humans remains a work in progress. joining you know one of the members of the double edged sword mr geisha and team epidemiologist dr fabiani lend from the prestigious robert koch institute here in berlin and was assisting the team in china from right here dr linda pleasure to have you on the program am i correct in understanding that the team isn't sure if the corona about us originated in china. we still have no good evidence for the place over that's right. do you think the team would have had a better idea if it had sort of been in china much earlier. well you know it's it's always the better because the tracks are still fresh or

whole ever it's not too late of the investigations and so not diseases have started much much later than this one so i think there's still a good chance to find out what happened so you are convinced that we that they will come a time in our future that we will know where the corona virus actually originated from this is a very complicated puzzle especially since this virus causes all mild symptoms or no symptoms so it's harder to follow back the tracks to the patient 0 or the index case however i'm very confident that at some point we will know which spent species the right virus so the interests are of all the human virus is and perhaps to get an idea into immediate which may have played a role in that transmission if we will ever find out where exactly and how exactly it happened that's

a big question mark the team spent about one month in china for 2 weeks was spent in quarantine indoors do you think this was sufficient time to try and investigate the origins of the corona runs. so that the whole mission is taking much much longer than that we had discussions with i want chinese colleagues in the weeks before and the mission still continues even if the team is not on site so that was the moxy moon we could. time for know and. the aim of this 1st mission was anyway just to see what the chinese colleagues had done already which day to day and without the gaps to design future studies so i think the time frame was ok for that do you think the date of a push shared with the doublets returning from the chinese side was sufficient or did you find that the chinese side were transparent and helpful in their dealings

so that the data are not sufficient but not because they are hiding them from us it's because they're not there yet so this these are these future studies which have to start now and which will hopefully fill the gaps in the big house. also interesting was that. we did not get any evidence for well then hiding concrete data from us we got to saw some of the raw data we discussed all the figures and we really had investigations together so the general gut feeling is a good one however as everybody knows who has tried really you never know what they're hiding. the team also said in the press conference that there could be a possibility of so-called cold chain transmission of the virus which is to say that the virus could have spread through frozen food packaging for instance this is

a theory that china has been putting forward especially in the past few months would you say therefore the china has been vindicated. well so in the recent outbreaks in china they have generated good evidence that those outbreaks had some seems to was a cold chain of question throw doubt however those are now all new outbreak starting in the middle of a pandemic where there are lots of people there all the rules who can constantly need food packages so the question if that plate rolls at the beginning of the pandemic is something we need many more data on and the food packages nothing where the virus is bought right it's coming from the food packets that has to be content mean aged either by symptomatic human or by an animal that carries the virus and so that believe it is difficult to pinpoint and so a little bit too much attention on the food package because it's just the right

right now a lot has been made about the origins of the corn of autism because of causing a lot of politics and finger pointing over it but just scientifically speaking do you think it's even a bulletin to know where the corona virus or to genetic from. i think the most important thing is to understand how it emerged because only if we understand the problem we can try to take contemn measures in the future to reduce the risk of something like that happening again if this event happened 10 meters to the left or to the right to a border between 2 countries really doesn't matter. dr fabia thank you so much for putting it into perspective we'll leave it there for the time being thank you so much for speaking to us thank you. now the new year ringing in the year of the ox comes around this friday but as we all know the pandemic has made it

a tough time for celebrations people across. the traditional events and gatherings because of covert $1000.00 restrictions and. is no exception. the gravity defying. dances this performance at a shopping mall. one of many in 2020 but this year. as part of malaysia's coronavirus restrictions line dance troops have been grounded equipment and whips during the busiest and most lucrative time of the year. period to cover every expenses for the. because the pandemic is bad the government has banned line dance so i will do what the government says and hope next year it

gets better. the lion dance is a much loved tradition among malaysians more than 7000000 ethnic chinese. dating back thousands of years it's supposed to chase away evil and bring happiness and good fortune. reason enough to stay optimistic. once the pandemic over every day is part of new year one and. the trip is making sure it won't be this lions last dance. with a vaccine now in our lives hopefully those lions will be dancing in no time but over in vietnam there is certainly no such problem with dancing a rap video from the u.s. ambassador ahead of lunar new year that's gone viral daniel kryten brink has

the us in vietnam from now to forever the trusted partner prostration together sigman now more from your poor boy in hanoi to mindanao spread the joy to him and now i have no. the fate of the corona virus pandemic. has the rate of infection in developing what does the latest research say. information and context the coronavirus update 19. on t w. it's 26. clean because i want to see a gemini with me the last few years have been quite. early. and heard it

a lot higher but when it comes to. the iceberg perhaps the biggest on the new 100 on the grid i look to be used there are pros in their account but when you feel the getting there realize it's called just another way of living are you ready to meet the devil and join me right just do it on. a single shot back and enough for the world would put an end to these pandemic that's not the reality most required to jabs some have to be stored in a deep freeze and many still await approval. plus not all of them are as effective . china is supplying developing countries with vaccines that don't work as well and the global rollout of covert shots is slowed less than 2 percent of the world population has received just one dose of

a vaccine so far. is showing the way in europe the prime minister was the 1st european leader to get the pfizer biotech vaccine or internal affairs minister called the russian jab and the health minister posed for one of china's shots the message vaccination should be about geopolitics it's about our health but it's not always that simple. even during the pandemic customers still come in for their coffee. georgevitch has run this cafe in belgrade for 3 years a topic often discussed by patrons is which vaccine is the best u.s. company pfizer and russia have so far only delivered a few 1000 doses china has already sent a 1000000. what i choose to get the chinese vaccine chinese people have been getting it they wouldn't be harming their own people maybe i'll take pfizer's vaccine they are an economically strong company it's a bit of

a dilemma for me. serbia's government has promised to buy various vaccines from providers all over the world it's then up to citizens to decide which one they want to get. to get the chinese or russian vaccines not the pfizer one it was not missenden if i had to choose i'd take the russian one. or the russian one i like russia i have russian friends i trust. who to trust there's a lack of detailed information about the various vaccines that's why many serbian doctors are hesitant with their advice. and is not as i get at least 10 calls a day people asking whether they should get not exonerated and if so using which vaccine cause we only have information on the pfizer vaccine i just don't know enough about the other one is. known as. no one seems sure but plenty of people are

driven by their fear of getting sick older citizens can receive the vaccine at a total of $200.00 special sites like at this exhibition center in belgrade serbia purchased 8000000 vaccines from western supplies from russia and china but only china can deliver millions of those of copied 19 vaccines in a short period of time. so trying on the balkan is on the rise in the meantime boy in georgia which has made his decision in a somewhat of. any of my customers who come here no more than i do about vaccines would you. now i have to so i did to get the chinese one with the book you know but it applies like many serbians they take the pragmatic view that the best vaccine is the most available one and here china seems to have won the race. well i thought it was a race against the corona virus isn't that what we should be focusing on. which.

technical officer for the vaccine preventable diseases and immunization program in europe why aren't we the world winning this race. thank you for having me and thank you for this question. believe that theo meaning the race you have. invented. he is the sorry. before so generally last year there was a general of. night south of i was available to the community and in november december it gave the 1st thing on the market there is going on this show and there are about as. many more to go because as you will know all of us are still as an all around earth and there are many cases and. we've managed to achieve the unachievable according to so many people but the simple things like the

lack of information on the various vaccines in many countries why can't we solve that sort of thing. it's at the show of challenges and you prague look it's scientific information 1st is a new product it's always caught complete information a lot of and how and what can be related to and on the other side it's a scientific information which is not easily transformed into a language it's acceptable to have to budget and is easy to follow so it's combine all the edition of vanity in the situation to make back their acceptance in public odo's new products and to have people mock you if you took a few minutes to drug on is not something the world health organization should be doing and is responsible for. and it's true it's indeed the fact that they had doing on the basis of the scientific approach there is

a procedure for creek approval although any congressman to come in if you are facing called the emergency said thing that really show is using our mechanism to collect as many as possible technical information us and get me a pro emergency you was leasing of that grow group to be the yard all around hurts to fight aids. epidemic in the case that it's not to the i know these continues or the meaning that that's product i'm asked to be quarantine is the monitored and controlled for the quality for safety and efficacy and that's how they are ensuring that the all the countries and book or nation he's receiving the high particular road it's relevant for the global oil because not all the countries have capacity by their own national guard this go through and the

programs and it's also kind of the mechanism that if you are the place for a bill you want to supply and be the callbacks that every single country candy lie on these results and have the technical information and they got it's giving the proper information of you're trying to haul off all these things are information are going to additional question send us or send communication also for the operation but also for healthcare workers how they can communicate the quality and benefits of the works and the political. will being at the w.h.o. os specific vaccines more suitable for specific regions than. no although i've seen c.h.r. approach are equally also in and out of the over in this moment that is on leave on the scene of each received images he was listing but to be whole field a means of february this year to have 3 or 4 more of them he's my dad not the other is us that as i make that there is a seizure in any shape for the example you'll see in china and in russia so we hope

to have more available tools to fight it this and that various want. and again we need the existing knowledge for the plane as they have status and really mean to us and so i want to contest in the different parts of the word all it seems are showing. us a c. in preventing our money for station of the said our case of this is that and preventing the better than all and then burn out all the health system which are relevant in this moment of the undoing tell me what you recommend for foster global growth out of these covert vaccines. well we have many works as a trustee only procedure of approval so inviting all the manufacturers to continue to say just book buying get permission for use of the x e n there is a critical need to increase capacity to produce physically more goals of our same because we need then again as for us also smaller is better and it's also they show

that it should be equally this you're going to on the global level meaning that actually causes them to thier but they see a thing we would like to see that all people at the 1st level of the face and all people belong to the 1st the nice groups mailing adélie people and people who go back now that conditions and they see that seeing this one as possible we are not and smash a safe globally until everyone of us is safe and preventing all of the cases is also preventing all the further mutation of the years with a virus which is normal for the i.o.c. so wherever whoever is getting what i said and as many of us get immense is a better for all of us give each from the w.h.o. europe thank you very much thank you. is that part of the show when derrick williams takes the floor to answer your questions on the coronavirus. if you test positive can you be vaccinated anyway or should you 1st recover then

get the vaccination. this is the biggest vaccine campaign in history in just a little over 2 months about 140000000 doses of vaccine have been injected worldwide and around 5000000 more are now going into arne's every single day so it's no wonder that questions like these are common the answer to whether you should be vaccinated anyway if you test positive for the disease is actually simple but the explanation is slightly complicated the 1st thing to understand is that if you already have covert 19 then it's too late for a vaccine to fix things it takes at least 10 days after a 1st dose for your body to start ramping up an effective immune response to sars kovi to do so so getting a vaccine right after testing positive for the disease won't help you the general

recommendation is that you should wait to recover before even thinking about vaccinations and aside from the dangers that getting vaccinated why are still sick might pose to your own health it could also expose others everything i've read indicates that if you've completed the recommended isolation period and are symptom free then it's ok to go ahead with vaccination although the c.d.c. also recommends that patients who are treated with monoclonal antibodies or or with convalescent plasma that they should wait at least 90 days before getting a shot in general the experts say the. the chances that your contract covert 19 again within that period are very slim anyway as naturally acquired immunity caused by the infection seems to remain strong in practically every water for at least

long. there are billions there and keep sending in your questions to our you tube channel i'm been fizzling thanks for watching stay safe and i'll see you again very soon your only dumping about.
