2050 northside or no i got to thrilled a man illiterate that is the fundamental human right that is the divine guard which the nature of the body has given to us and goes through all of this legend that we've got to learn who are struggling over the right to freedom against nature that i can just walk. the problem in society we have at the moment if everyone is afraid of making a mistake what may happen if we don't do any. pandemic has changed life as we know it. but what comes next. will our fast paced lives pick up again.

will we continue to innovate regardless of the cost. live lives profit driven. and globally connected. or has this pandemic sparked irreparable change. hello and welcome to the show this week we're thinking about life after the pandemic we're asking experts in areas like urban planning climate change and even nutrition to tell us what they've learned so far and what those lessons mean for the future today we look at crisis management and began with a report from taiwan located near the airport told in hospital was one of taiwan ski keepers 2nd the pirates authorities have stan the 5th of confirmed cases here for cheap men since the start of 2020 but in january this year. and infected doctor

to guard the fresh outbreak several of his coworkers were later tested positive taiwan based its biggest core of the virus crisis since the start of the pandemic in the. hospital acquired infections very serious and hard to control the patients in the hospital need health care workers to take care of them was there next to each other it's impossible to just quarantine hospital workers and leave patients alone you are in for a. long work service center epidemic command center his 3rd decided to set himself up in the hospital to directly oversee communications from the command center but woman. we had to contain the virus county. in the large hospital of more than 2600 employees and they were all 700 in patients one wrong decision coolie to the charge of the similar to the 2003 sars outbreak

then the government locked down a hospital where even healthy people were not allowed to leave leading to 154 infections and 31 death. it was ok when there were only one or 2 cases in the hospital bridge but when there were more and more people come from positive tests we were definitely nervous we were afraid of getting phone calls in the middle of the night hearing about yet another new case. this time the command center reacted quickly tracking all possible contacts and hold quarantine over 4300 people they also transferred negative test to patients to other hospitals to decrease the workload on the staff after 14 days with no new come from places all hospital employees have to do mass testing to convince the public that a hospital is safe in 44 days it was contained with only 21 cases and just one death transparency. and honesty is the very important and you have to keep the

people the reason why you want to have. a very strange encounter very strange in home quarantine and this is we have to show the evidence that it is very very useful to prevent a future pandemic chen said no parties can fight alone but i would like to emphasize the importance is the prudence of it as we have to keep by all the possible outbreak in all the countries to prevent its spread off now to how and hospital is back to relative normality the starts experience reminded the government and its people not to let history repeat itself a lesson not only for taiwan but for the word in its approach to tackling this vast breading virus. martin reeses co-founder of the center for the study of existential risk an interdisciplinary research group focused on studying and developing

strategies to risks that could threaten humanity martin good to have you on the show 1st of all let's start with the pandemic before we start about talk about exits existential rest rather can barely even say the word we just saw about taiwan and how its management of the pandemic has been shaped by sars but it seems time other countries have had their own experiences with infectious diseases and yet they've struggled in their management of the pandemic why do we see that it differs so much from country to country when i think we have the u k. but it was we didn't have the expense of sars and of course coronaviruses need different preparations then you protected the crippen for everyone and it's hard to develop a vaccine etc so we in the u.k. were badly prepared as i think in some respects were. european countries and i think the taiwan other government that was more trusted perhaps than our u.k. government was by these people and not. do you believe that we're worse long term

planners than we believe we are potentially or do we just lack imagination or is it a combination of both and i think real worst long term planners obviously we can't predict when the pandemic will strike but no one could say it was unlikely given that we had sars and murders in the past and i think there's some lessons we can learn obviously one is that it pays to build in a bit of slack in the system or resilience and in france as i know in germany you had more empty beds in your intensive care ward than we normally have we try to keep them full time which means you've got no knows their capacity and also we shouldn't spend so much on supply shades for manufacturing because if you have just one long chain and one link breaks that screws up a lot of manufacturing so i think we've learnt that it's more put have resilience than maximum efficiency ok so perhaps we're not the best long term planners for

things like pandemics even though actually they're quite likely what about for truly existential threats where you're focused on that could be anything i gather from a more serious illness to an asteroid potential asteroid strike what's that mean for planning for those threats. of course you can't they're just extremes and i should say that lerma astronomer i'm not kept awake at night by asteroids threats etc because they are small threats and no bigger now than they were of the dinosaurs they are rare but the threats that need to worry about are those which are caused by humans either collectively changing the climate and causing mass extinction or by misuse of powerful technologies by 0 and. so does the bar about and they will give us a bumpy ride through this century they could cause a complete extinction i think that's frankly very unlikely we're concerned with

these extreme risks which we need to prepare for and going back to the covert 19 it's going to cost the world at least $20.00 trillion dollars over the next 2 years and then at the specs given it was a dozen likely we should have spent probably hundreds of billions of dollars in the kind of preparation making sure that we monitor all are places where the disease can transfer from humans lanham us to humans it's etter and we more prepared to stock up on a plate of clothing in all mass we've learned our lesson that it's worth a bigger investment if you will prepare that investment that preparation that readiness that always comes with other costs not just money for example there's certain social costs that come with that as we've seen in the pandemic as well just responding to the crisis that's been a great cost in terms of social well being perhaps in terms of economic wellbeing for for livelihoods have we had we falling measured the social and economic impacts

of the pandemic or does it mean for our planning for crises. well we have it and i think one possibly the 9 effect that requires this is to really realize how important workers are not just in the health service but delivery drivers care as a people are now it's who in our system are under supported poorly paid and in secure jobs and i think one lesson you ought to learn is to. minimize will reduce inequality this was to be actually accentuated by the pandemic and people like myself for instance who go on working from home cetera but many people can't and those who are in cramped apartments with no guards etc and the really tough times i think the experience of the pandemic has excess rated the effect of inequalities which many of us think are far too great anyway and i hope we pressure

to reduce them aren't rhesus co-founder of the center for the study of x. existential risk i'll get that word right especially martin thank you so much for joining us thank you very much. for science correspondent eric williams is also thinking about the future here he is with a question on the future of m.r. in a technology. we came up with maxine for a covert and under a year what do developments like that mean for the future of health care. could 19 has sparked advances in a really wide range of fields but i want to focus on one advance in particular that experts say will change health care in fundamental ways and that's messenger r.n.a. technology in cells and more and a is the molecule that allows information from the archive of the genome to be

turned into into the physical metabolic reality of proteins and controlling and tailoring proteins is a tool of incredible power the scientists have been trying for decades to harness the m. oron a information system to fight a huge range of diseases then the pandemic hit and all that hard work ended up turbocharging the development and the launch of the m r n a vaccines now in use the 1st ever to be approved that's released the floodgates i think and we can expect more vaccines based on the platform to hit the market in the next couple of years including highly individualized vaccines that help your immune system for example 0 in on cancer mastering m.r.

and they will allow us to shift treatments for many diseases away from today's approach which is to mitigate symptoms with medications and towards addressing the real roots of diseases and that's huge. and that's it for today's peak in the future. check back with us tomorrow that's watching stay safe so you get. people in trucks injured when trying to treat the city center the mob or spends more refugees are being turned away from others on the tube to script going to clean up the system the straightest the of people seem excrete

but 1st many jews in israel and around the world are marking young hotshoe our or holocaust remembrance day commemorating the 6000000 jews murdered by the nazis or meanwhile here in germany a massive effort is underway it's a preserve the victims memory volunteers are digitizing millions of records of people imprisoned and slaved and murdered by the nazi regime and it's all happening in the tiny town of. here's more. tucked away in an industrial hall in western germany is an inconceivable room the hour olsen archives with 17500000 names of people persecuted by the nazis the most extensive archive of its kind index cards from concentration camps deportation lest clothing remnants from exuma bodies. there are the names of jews forced laborers concentration camp prisoners an unprecedented memory of suffering.

the goal is to make the archive available online for everyone to use taking part in the digital tagging of the millions of slips of paper is a new way of remembering the action hash tag every name counts is an invitation for everyone to participate. so you just need access to the internet and you come to our website and from there you can access documents you can put the names and birth dates of nazi victims into our database and then these names will be published and will be accessible worldwide forever for everybody globally and he signed for that fight. from both is one of 17000 volunteers already digitizing documents often the records are handwritten in old fashioned script or with abbreviations were simply illegible no automatic machine can transfer these last biographies into. current technology it must be done by hand.

and that's really been done on the one hand it of course benefits the people who are looking for someone and can't completely trace their history but it also helps us to be even more aware of what happened back then and to deal with the topic in a completely different way yes i'm often guns under the guise the chef to. go to yosh works in city government she says that's further motivation to participate in this project because people like her used to fill out these cards and were part of the un just nazi state. the random generator shows yokota yosh a document for a viennese man it indicates how i fled became a political prisoner in 1943 by simply reading a leaflet in the future everyone will be able to trace the story of i fled he came to boston vida via oceans allied documents show that he survived the war by

migrating biographies to the internet the arrows in archives are helping preserve memories and to prepare us for everyday life. charities and i think raising awareness of the historical depth of discrimination and patterns of discrimination anti semitism racism that's not history that's still happening today every day in europe and all over the world. 17.5000000 names and every single one counts. so far there are rows and archives have digitized 3 and a half 1000000 documents and these days the art world is also going to digital with investors bending enormous sums on artworks that exists only on a computer networks until now digital art was so easy to copy that it didn't make much sense financially but now that's changed and the implications for the art market her huge. the magic word is n f

t or non fungible token and it's revolutionizing the art market this technology records the owner's identity in a blog change while the work itself remains publicly visible on the web for anyone to see. so what and it is a technical stand there you need additional work of art where any any. essence you need so you get it will be me. was the artist was the size and that you bought it and it you are the rightful owner in this online gold rush a flying cap sold for $650000.00 a tweet for several 1000000. crypto cats or virtual basketball cards sold for millions. and now christie's has got on board auction in

every days from artist people as its 1st tokenized piece. the sale not only meant recognition for digital art but it's helped christie's reap millions in a win win situation. over it does scare him of us and i think when there's money at stake people take things seriously so many people who used to not really take this art form seriously are now having a closer look and that's great and then of course the artist who created this work will go down in art history on that site so it's not a conspiracy so i'm sure. the buyer was a singapore based fund that had made a fortune with cryptocurrency 90 percent of the bidders at christie's were unknown is a new crypto elite divvying up the market. people they're all right now. they're . onto the market forms with really open i do not have much

knowledge of the art market and our enemy. and just really. that could up end the traditional dominance of art galleries and museums when it comes to determining what art is valuable and important for crypto art could turn out to be an unprecedented speculation bubble but even if that bubble bursts it's still likely to shake up the art market. and let's talk a little more about how and the f t's are shaking up the art market i've got d.w. reporter michael kruger here with me so mike a lot of people are asking is this the new art market or is it just a bubble or do you think well 1st of all 2 words have met here on the one hand this young man that generation knew a pocket full of bitcoins cryptocurrency and on the other hand the very professional investors who are not really interested in art and yeah and this is

maybe the reason why we have these incredible sums that being paid for it now and if the value of trip to really increase in the future is something we still don't know the excitement will go down i'm quite sure and the odds will return at the sunset again but nevertheless people like me pull will be a chapter in the history of art where there's a lot of excitement now also though in the music industry some people are saying and if these are going to shake up that world what's that about. well they're really threatening the monopoly of streaming services right now with the subscription base economic models because after the streaming services the record labels the musicians seem to be at the end of the food chain and this could change with an f.t.c. they are back in the control the music is back in their hands and they can decide the value of a song. so this is

a really thrilling development and the list of musicians were experimenting with and of teas is growing longer and longer we have festival grimes we have show man this and the king of limbs for example but everyone in the music world is that into n f t's there with the with the criticism well in the moment it's still a very exclusive sokol right now because if you buy in and see and if the music you you were buy it all you woodstock and that means it's works just for the musicians who are already very famous i mentioned grimes for example and she's already rich husband is one of the richest man in the world and another really big question is what happens when the own a dice is ownership of an n.f.t. inherited and but one thing is quite clear once you own an n.f.t. it's really safe from being stolen well i'm going to leave it there for now michael

krueger thanks so much because speaking of theft and art theft dutch police have arrested a man they believe store priceless paintings from 2 museums on lockdown security footage shows a burglar smashing through reinforced glass at the singer lauren museum last year in march before taking this painting by vincent van gogh entitled the parsonage garden at noon and spring and 5 months later if 15000000 euro work by dutch master fronts holes went missing from another museum that's actually the 3rd time it's been stolen since 1988 police say they have yet to recover those 2 paintings. and if you're into art mysteries netflix has just put out a 4 part documentary about the world's biggest ever art heist the series this is a robbery it examines how 2 thieves dressed as police officers ripped off 5

$100000000.00 worth of art from the isabella steward gardner museum in boston back in 1990 including a painting at the dutch master or rembrandt the works are still missing to this day . well all over germany are red and white mannequins have been popping up on public squares a kind of monuments to life put on hold to the coronavirus the traveling art installation that is stopping pedestrians in their tracks. at 11 am in front of cologne cathedral artist dennis hughes if mez a good. 111 man. he calls his installation it is like it is it's meant to symbolize the coronavirus pandemic and its social. and represents the movement restrictions that we have during these carona times we can't do what we'd like to do and move around the way

that we're used to especially in times of crisis we see how our lives can change and things we have taken for granted can suddenly become a thing of a past. history an area around cologne cathedral is just one of many places where the artist has staged his mannequins since the beginning of the pandemic last year they've already toured more than 30 german city. plates posed in front of the berlin stock. conquered pottstown. and occupied the old bridge in limbo. the figures wrapped in red and white warning tape symbolize social distancing and the standstill of public life. even. on a ski slope. i mean him it's his the mannequins come from different places for example from boutiques that have had to close their doors during the pandemic but also from a hobby hardware store that had to shut down so i was able to buy all the mannequins

at a reasonable price. in may dennis you said message will be awarded the crayola creativity prize in zurich for this project and if conditions permit he plans to take his mannequins on tour to other countries. that's it for this edition of arts and culture for more stories though check us out any time at d.w. dot com slash culture see you next time. one continent. 700000000 people. all with their own personal stories. europe. we explore every day life for. what europeans fear and what they hope
