cross one nail biter and that's how it stage by aaron our club world champions and winners of an historic sex couple. that's a news update at. $1000.00 special. the latest news around the clock on our website at www dot com thanks for joining us. the fight against the corona virus pandemic. has the rate of infection been developing what does the latest research say. information and context around a virus update nineteen's. on t w. children to come to terms. one giant problem and nearly.

5. years is laid down. how will climate change affect us and our children. dot com slash water. freshly cut grass danger a sense of smell is something many of us take for granted but what if it wasn't there. 1000 infections often lead to a loss of smell the impacts can be serious fires made noticed by was made lose interest in eating will fall into a deep depression. let's look at the strange ways kogut is tied up with our noses and neural networks. out of all the senses most people say they could do

without smell but have you thought about the consequences for your life and job about 60 percent of those infected with the coronavirus will have had problems smelling or tasting. for current starglider falling ill with covert 1000 was a professional disaster the 53 year old did not have severe symptoms what was left on able to smell or taste anything as the owner of a confectionery shop she needed to test the quality of her cakes and chocolates. from by spoon and by if i have a glass of wine for example at the same time how to taste a glass of vinegar i couldn't tell the difference but just that this is tied to both of them taste acidic but i couldn't tell you which one is vinegar and which is the wine that. alessandro bought sato says or symptoms are typical. smell loss occurs when the corona virus infects cells that

support neurons in the nose. prescribe smell training as therapy in which patients rely on prescribe sense such as those of roses and lemons. after losing their sense of smell patients can do to smell training to stimulate damaged nerve cells and start the process of healing or regeneration so the more you would. like. lies or has been using for a different sense a day to reactivate her sense of smell coffee cinnamon chocolate closer vanilla are her favorite fragrances it's a slow process but she hopes male training will bring back her ability to smell and taste things and let's talk about losing your sense of smell with scientists rachel herz what i'd like to know 1st of all is if it could be permanent. so small loss with coping 90 that we really don't know what permanent leaves so

it's only the end of 90 years though that we've been into this crisis and it's certainly the case that with upper respiratory tract infections loss occurs but there's hope for regaining it in those conditions and i think that probably will be the case here as well and there are different methods that can facilitate that especially things like snell training some people are being experiencing this learn from months and months and months i mean a year can be a long time how how traumatic can that experience be emotionally and psychologically. well it's extremely traumatic and one of the problems being in this idea of permanence how long is ringback it going to last is it going to be forever you don't know and so that uncertainty even as mortuary and very traumatic to lose your sense of smell which people unfortunately don't realise because our sense of smell is connected to everything people assume it's connected to can i smell fire or the gas that you know danger or the pleasure of food ringback but actually is connected to our emotional life in very intense ways it's connected to

our social life it's connected to our personal intimacy it's connected to our sense of self and our memories and our sense of where we are in the universe with respect to other people on the whole world so it can be extremely and grounding and very very disturbing for people to lose our sense of smell so rachel is this a side effect of something you're a logical. so with company $1000.00 what seems to be going on is that the stars could be to virus needs to enter cells in order to in fact the host that is the human and the nose has a passion covielle factory if he'll yeah that's where all factory censoring their arms are we to text mels also contains 2 other kinds of cells these also is and what are known as supporting cells and these supporting cells have a high number of the kind of enzyme that's needed for the space protein of the sars virus to enter in this case 2 receptor people may be hearing about so that their

virus can bind very easily to these cells and what happens is it causes disruption and creates inflammation which seems to be the reason why your factory sensory neurons shut down because that's where we're normally detecting smells and then that's the 1st port of entry into the rest of the body so that's the basic mechanism so one of the things i have a kind of pet peeve about is people really need to cover their nose with their mouths because that's the primary route of entry for the stars virus to get into you know just came across one of those callings in a car always perform tell us when does this happen is this loss of sense of smell is is it an early symptom as some health care workers have experienced before even testing positive i mean it could be a great warning in stopping the spread of the disease just like you were saying warnings of a bad smell of a fire of gas. yes so what we've been involved in i've been involved in research conducted with health care workers and what we found was actually that disturbance

in the sense of smell preceded getting a positive test by the p.c. ari her normal method of detecting you know biologically whether or not you've been infected by 2 whole days so this is actually a tremendous finding that smell osprey seeds getting a positive diagnosis and also preceded sort of feeling sick in other ways and actually is involved in about 80 ringback 6 percent of people who feel very mild symptoms or could otherwise be asymptomatic so having snow loss is a very very important signal to the individuals who 1st of all get tested and secondly to self isolate to quarantine themselves then because you want to be avoiding transmitting it into the population so if you can self quarantine at the 1st sign of notice things no loss that's really important and not only smell os but also alter smell what's known as rosin you know so if you smelling things but they don't smell right you know one person said to me everything's not like then if you

are and so that's also something that's a really important signal early warning sign in 19 and we saw that in about a 3rd of the people who reported smell this function in our study of i don't know if it's also a signal of all simers of bach and since disease but is that also a symptom of the new covariance. so just to clarify the per us me at the altar sense of smell is not really so much as far as we know involved in alzheimer's or parkinson's disease in those things where small loss occurs that is decades before we see other symptoms but if you ask a really good question about the other variants and i have to say that i don't know the answer to that yet there hasn't been any research that i've seen that specifically looked at what variant of the iris is causing or this star is virus red that's causing the elders and whether or not and how that's connected smell us that's a great question i unfortunately don't know the answer to that yet like so many questions in this crisis my last question can you fully breed train your sense of

smell. so the good news is that because of the fact that it's about her respiratory tract infection the cause of smell loss you haven't had neurological damage to the way that the neurons can get into the brain for detecting smell and so forth so generally speaking in these cases there is hope for recovery and the best method to date is actually exercising your nose where what you want to do is get a set a very distinctive smell so things that's not really different or that you remember still believe different like lenin or mint and you know somebody's perf you know him her cloves and things like that and smell those sense multiple times per day smell of each for like about 10 seconds and repeat that over and over let's say 3 or 4 times per day for about 3 months and then switch to another step and the good news is that although it's not 100 percent effective many people start to see improvement in their ability to smell through doing this sort of smell training is

exercising of your nuts so there is real hope you know and it doesn't take that long just as like as that you know a few minutes a couple of times a day and just have to keep keep up with ringback it and it seems what's happening there is it's both training your brain and potentially causing your receptors to become resteal a bit again reactivated to bring in more a little abilities actually snuff and vice there for neuroscience is right for us thank you very much for being on the show today thank you very much for having me over to derrick williams now our science correspondent has been looking into your questions on the corona virus. does the immunity require from the vaccine vary from person to person. yes it does vaccines never provide 100 percent protection although

a few that we've developed for other infectious diseases have come close but but everyone's immune system is difference and will respond to particular vaccines in individual ways trials showed that even after being vaccinated some people who were exposed to sars kovi to ended up contracting symptomatic pilfered 19 but the vaccines being distributed now have proven to be pretty effective at preventing symptoms caused by most variants in most people and and some vaccines have proven extremely effective at doing so a simplified way of putting it would be to say that trials in some back scenes showed unvaccinated people were nearly 20 times more likely to develop symptoms of cope at 19 during the trial than someone who got vaccinated. but the really interesting point is that and trying to return to something like normal back scenes

don't actually have to prevent covert 19 in every war and if they can just stop symptomatic disease in most of us that would ease the strain on health systems and what would be even better is if that scenes could help slow or stop transmission of the virus so if they not only prevent the disease in most people but also keep people from catching it having no symptoms and spreading it subsequently unknowingly there's new evidence that with at least one approved back seen that's the case that aspect really is key because it would break infection shades of to do that right now we're still relying mostly on on blunt instruments like like masks and lockdowns and finally there are strong indicators that even if you do catch covert 19 after getting the shot at least some of the vaccines are limiting its

severity so in other words the people who get the disease even after being vaccinated are rarely end up in hospitals so this is you know there's thanks for watching to stay safe and say you're going to search. everything all my. the labor market completely digital at this startup even much comes out of the printer. what about working from home an e-mail here a time as there was the call away from burnout the psychological hygiene or you'll get a remote telling off from the doctor maybe he needs more screen time is out of the question we have to turn back or else it's really going to be game for me to be in germany. next on teacup. to the point.

clear position of international perspectives. as covert takes an ever harsher told him their hopes on vaccines developed in record time yet in many places their rollout has been patchy the race for coping vaccines rich against poor are topic on. the point. of being 60 minutes on t w. people looking for coverage. and there are many answers. there are many reasons.

and there are many it's a. make up your own mind. made for minds. of. the digital world is the big winner in this pandemic watching from online shopping education live streaming the internet is growing stronger lockdowns of forced firms into digitizing and it's giving us newfound freedoms like flexible work and the chance to keep in contact with family and friends on a different level but it all comes at

a price the 2 faces of digitalisation our topic today are made. well it's game over for a number of top level e sports professionals the so-called athletes have hit on an incredibly lucrative business opportunity over the past few years which we've reported on before but this young have also found out all those hours in front of a screen and the global pressures of the entertainment sector can become a health hazard. reports. streaming as far as becoming a go to activity to relax and socialize can escape from the pressures of everyday life. this is me hanging out with some friends there's no way any of us could make it to the professional level jump again at x. but for a growing number of people playing video games is providing a golden ticket to fame fortune and legions of fans. the sports has moved into

a $1000000000.00 industry young gamers all around the world to pursue a shot at the big time but what price when you look at the stats of today's professional players the average retirement age is between just 23 and 25 years old . physical and mental burnout is a growing problem for professional sports players it's not something that's widely acknowledged within the industry players are finally starting to speak out and cool for a change. better known as. you'll already know who he is. in and playing professionally since the age of 20. legend widely regarded as one of the best counterstrike global offensive players in history. 2015 he helped power his former team fanatic to world number one and was awarded the title of most valuable player m.v.p.

i've been gaming my whole life of course i loved it but there was also some kind of . if you could just. escape in another world and you don't have to think about anything else but just the game and love think that is something that i really enjoyed but following a wrist injury in 2016 the pressures of real life and a grueling competition schedule started to become overwhelming and everything now is just a low figure of miss a lot for tournament a lot more pressure like normally when it's not corona we were with travel oak ridge travel like to honor plus they say year if not more and it's kind of stressful for your mind because you always have something where you have to perform and one of the times for some. people analyzing what you did wrong and everybody has so many opinions in 2017 he took a short leave of absence to to personal reasons just couldn't sleep good i was just thinking about the game 247 and like being stressed almost every day at all times

on earth came back refreshed but then in may of 2020 shocking his fans he announced in a tweet that he would be taking an extended break from professional gaming due to fatigue strain on his mental health and knack of motivation to compete it's so hard because if you see a team playing 8 hours a day that are better than you they want to play tonight and i was today big because you want to beat the right stuff and it just keeps going like that then you have like 12 hours practice plus like 5 hours individual if you keep doing it for every day i don't think it can be good for you with the cut of a pandemic adding even more pressure to train around the clock a number of the best players in the sports or announce career breaks this year citing burnout and stress. medical professionals in the gaming industry have been concerned for years about the health impacts of overtraining sleep deprivation and players taking on regulated energy supplements we're seeing so much burnout we

unfortunately had a couple deaths in the community this year people need to be addressing the mental health people and to be addressing the physical health of these athletes or or were seen repercussions are any a lot of the reasons are we're pushing these gamers well beyond how far we should be pushing anyone let alone an 18 year old kid and we're not giving them the correct support you know gaming is a pastime in sports as a career was so much money at stake professional gaming teams like excel e sports starting to make more holistic changes to safeguard the health of that player as we are doing luck tests we're having nutrition companies supporting us you know working out we're focusing on sleep was the trick oh say using an m.b.a. my name is head of performance or my status and it's really quite surreal that i have to tell the players to play less if people have a bird or have issues they're just getting replaced. in my point of view the

organization is responsible for mainly responsible why is this effete has this lifestyle a growing number of top sports teams are starting to build support for their players health into that contract providing team houses and personal chefs fitness and performance coaches physios and mental health training that industry wide and for smaller teams don't have many official regulations that are actively safeguarding professional play is there sleeping to that they're having not a structure at all so they go to bed at 3 at 5 pm they are not having enough sunlight they're looking at right to monday they're normally don't have a cook so the nutrition is really bad in football for example be off the exit. b. of coaches and so on any sports there's no coaching doesn't see it and the end it's nice to be successful not a lot of money but it's a really really disgusting when

a person is $25.00 or 30 and has to stop what they are doing because it's really unhealthy for them and they have lifetime issues with. one of my state is now back playing professionally again with his team face time that the road to recovery has been a challenging one i've been working out a lot more and trying to eat a lot more healthy think that helps me there are a lot more players are a lot more stress than they would like to admit to the public without people saying anything in the schedule will just be the same on the end it's not good for people sell to use force is still a very new industry but the tournament's in the prize money get bigger protecting young professionals from physical and mental burnout is going to become an important challenge. the pandemic has bankrupted countless businesses and continues to do so millions are out of work but then you hear the experts saying that there's no better time to start your own business than

in a crisis you have to learn how to scrimp and save when financing dries up you have to find customers when there's no demand and you need a really good idea. last year i met the founder of a tiny start up in spain that's created an eco friendly healthy and affordable beacon state from a 3 d. printer a year on the company continues to grow and continues to wow the skeptics but even tastes pretty good to tell you the truth. well well my colleague because sound by the time asked the boss of the biotech for some tips on how to develop a successful stop. people thought that was very good to begin we have heard 33 big plans may be quick. and efficient the c.e.o. and founder of not i mean which is up at startup in barcelona working on the future of the line here is my advice for you will start.

to develop your idea you 1st need to defect to appease your passions what do you get your talent i come from a tyrant specifically i was going to be sure you're nearing because they've been working all my life seen by maybe seen the building or grounds for you mind so far but a medical purpose so the beginning i was in could be secure i never thought of before but we created a new technology and once you create a new technology you want to find the feedback from the c.p.u. my case for example i went to bury a must check if this was a crazy idea or already made sense and warm very interesting or many people with the loss of experience tell you that because nothing crazy if yes then you have an extra for you to go forward. very importantly define in that sector the right of these and all the birds that

was a very good brother but then we need to find a better way to bring these products the market so you need to find the right partner ships and that i modelled you didn't for example of be the b.b.b. if you need for example in our case because direct or both the repairs and a.b.s. nothing without the right be both but i need to mark the question there is a 1st date. it's not a complicated and who even in the face that says something doesn't go as you think them bible meaning that they can take another direction and here. it is very hard to find better telling the people so you one more time and that is not important because it's being commanded to stay with you for a long time so you don't want just to. online and look for the people to come to you you really sometimes want to be the right people so going to find the

right people at the right places and i mean just basically we have 2 themes one is the 2nd a logical theory called the performance and then we have the business which we call the back when the performance is that people that's got to talk with some technology the business team is for who's done the people that you master the client the partners. you want to find the right team but my own strategy was to look for v.c. beating on the media so that. would contact me and say hey we are interested in what we are building we should poking about it and i feel that if you don't feel that your ground see europe for example i am for me. being paid more easily if we cannot find the right but that you have now or do you have guys you can have people from all over the ward investing in your company.

the next step is to scale meaning that especially now working where we have a very strong mission a very strong medium which we want to create a sustainable future. well you need to scale up to bring that product and because about advances international so the next step is to raise more money he says 2000 production fit our and allow our whole. to be available to all over the ward the next 5 to 10 years i hope that by 5 or so mandation as you're starting your business there. good tips for business there but how about some tips in organizing our daily lives in the pandemic social distancing to avoid the coronaviruses change so many things paradoxically resulted in better health fuel communicable diseases like colds and flu but everyone gets sick some

time how to visit the doctor in times of limited access if your medical consultation a line. cloudy lush uk took a look at the growing field of tele medicine she started by booking a virtual appointment herself. i need to see a dermatologist at short notice. except the next available appointment is in 4 months time. but then i discover a dr offering online consultation. after entering a few personal details on her website i find myself talking to her just a few minutes later. the next. yes i mean got tied my hands have been really really dry for quite a long time now and they each a bit too talking. washing their hands more frequently might have impaired your skin is natural protective barrier this can lead to a kind of eczema so the 1st thing you need to do is apply hand cream a lot more often than. the online consultation costs 30 euros i consider

that a price worth paying if i had a problem i was concerned about as i get help quickly and easily. in many cases we can look at the patient to make an assessment based on the severity and extent of the problem and then also determine the degree of urgency of course that's no substitute for personal contact you still need doctor's surgery for physical checking all for certain technical equipment needed for a more precise diagnosis. yet. the video consultation serves as a preliminary finding for diseases where a visual cue. by the doctor is enough this form of tell medical treatment has only been permitted in germany since 2019. in the coronavirus era patients are happy for the opportunity to save time and avoid the risk of infection and demand to soar. like so many other areas of life medical care is now also

becoming digitalized. people with chronic conditions can for example have their blood pressure monitored remotely by staff at a clinic. next i talked to a health care management expert florian kind says patients in germany have become increasingly receptive to the concept of telemedicine this is lead to greater willingness among investors to provide funding that enables young companies to acquire new technologies caught in. a lot of firms in germany of insufficient funding. that's especially the case with startups but that's no changing in some areas we're seeing many parts of the health sector getting a lot more capital that's enabled us to catch up with us for example our companies now have a better set of all round with competent teams so they can develop a broader scope. and frequent. the digital boom has benefited and given birth to a lot of startups swedish company crew has developed

a digital health that allows users to consult with a doctor of life after registering online patients answer a series of questions about their symptoms and can then request an appointment. cruise network now extends to 900 doctors across europe covering all manner of medical conditions. to viral infections special terril infections headaches many different types of pain diarrhea and vomiting eye infections everything that normally a general practitioner will deal with at short notice. try putting your head down said that your chin meets your chest. is that painful yes yes i feel it on the right side of my head where the pain was. the services available in scandinavia france britain and now in germany to its doctors speak

a range of different languages and germany consultations are offered in german or english. prescriptions sick notes and referrals are all issued electronically but doesn't that raise data privacy concerns as a lot of our a lot of people will have questions because it's also new and data privacy concerns are always great when it comes to health matters and what we're seeing people getting used to it pretty quickly because they know that it works and that doctors who have tell you medical treatment training are able to find out a lot by asking the patient questions and his if you are also for. digital applications are now commonplace in the health care world in addition to remote consultations they now also enable aftercare for acute and chronic diseases ordering medication compiling patient data and even psychotherapy services. when it comes to serious or life threatening conditions there is no substitute for

a proper visit to the doctor but telemedicine can offer supplementary help and in germany for example health insurance companies now cover both types of treatment. now all that digital work during the pandemic has highlighted the need for a new generation of computer savvy specialists children these days tend to be immersed in a digital world right from the very beginning but what about us older people if you're looking for a job and can afford the training i.t. bootcamp software to bring you up to speed in just months it could be worth it because companies are desperately looking for professionals who can drive digitalisation. the global economy is in trouble supply chains spanning the planet have been disrupted the pandemic has highlighted the limits of the present economic system and the importance of digital technologies knowing official is unhelpful in hamburg that describes itself as

a school and pool for digital talent. we are seeing growing interest in training in digital professions because of the crisis. for short courses it calls boot camps to train people in computer related fields. 3 months course in data science for university graduates costs a little under $9000.00 euros. training as a web developer costs just under 8000. digitalisation combined with coronavirus being forced to deal with these things now the. flexibility and the willingness to go new ways are more important than ever that holds for training courses to remote learning is the order of the day. we see people who want to change their lives some have been working in their

profession for 15 or 20 years and now want to change course. they spent 3 months with us doing intensive training and so they can work in an entirely new field. the need for many more digital professionals did not start with the pandemic but it has made it greater. the problem we are addressing on a small scale with our boot camps is the lack of qualified personnel there are 124000 i t vacancies in germany right now on average it takes 150 days to fill a vacancy so there clearly aren't enough qualified. digital publishing is one industry in need of more people. are publishers magazines while the print runs of its paper editions have been falling for years its online presence has been growing fast its online publications now account for

a 3rd of its revenues. we have to work on the future viability of a company all the time and that involves finding qualified staff we have an arrangement with whereby we can contact its recent graduate student. so we can recruit good candidates for our digital business. export driven manufacturing base is taking a battering because of the coronavirus crisis while digital developments are not going to speed. the digital. if we don't manage to. make them more savvy we're going to. digital technologies play a key role in just about every sector of the economy nowadays there's no way around the need to optimize people's digital skill sets. i love working from.
