the military which sees power 4 months ago being a tax on health care workers, me as schools reopen, some teachers and students are also making a stand defying the hunters calls for full classrooms, which would only help the virus sprayed. hundreds of thousands of people across me m i have been calling for an end to the military tank over the country is in turmoil. and the health care system is one of the most effective sectors of the nurses were the 1st to go on strike. thousands refusing to work under a military, beijing that also poses a problem for coven patient. my on bazillion is head of mission for doctors without borders in be in my and join us from young. gone. tell us about the difficulties of your work. first of all, i mean you're trying to save lives at the same time as putting your own lives at
4:46 pm
risk. oh really? yeah that's, that's true. and that's being part of, i guess at the moment our life is not very high situation for people and be march very to fear before the actual international stuff. it's not a dish for our national stuff, challenging periods. not only asking them to, to do more than we usually do, we are up scaling our activities due to the increase needs at the same time, they're facing psychological stress from, from what is going on in their own country. so yes, for our, our stuff, our national stuff here in the office around 11 people, which is a very testing testing time they're doing to,
4:47 pm
to bring the services we want to bring in these times and the breakdown of the health system here and and i guess the psychological impact also has a political angle to the w h. i was talking about a 179 attacks on medical staff in facilities since the military took over. also 13 death dozens of arrests. and i mean, how do you go about reaching the people when the health professionals are being attacked? yes, specifically, that helps us help workers to our own cdn. so it has to be to be targeted. these are the health workers working for are you still have health workers working for private sector or charity sector like my transition. so our
4:48 pm
doctors are continue their work. they're not striking. and therefore their national that targets directly. but you can see the fear among our stuff as well, and that's basically from coming to the office having to police checks potentially being searched. there is definitely a fear we're not directly to talk of because we are not working in the public health. thanks for joining the civil disobedience movement. that's do you you national stuff is definitely very aware and very my and can you tell us just how diet situation is with covert or how bad the numbers are? i believe the daughter isn't reliable the days i don't know. right. i've also,
4:49 pm
after the military take for the basically the country stopped at testing there the whole to see the section nation program came to stand still. there are a few 100 tests today because there's nothing to compare to before the military girls were, which means we don't agree idle it also means that we are in besides the whole prevention that say testing tracing. fractionation. there's also a lot of things happening in the country that are messed instructions. the whole banking system is collapsing, spray p. m. she'd like reading and the region are right. so we are reading of the outbreak in the m
4:50 pm
r michelle system at the current status. let's get another view from georgina phillips and emergency physician in australia, who's trained doctors and nurses and me, and my, and his published a corporate solid dowdy in the lancet. some of the authors of that letter had fled the country or in hiding or have been detained. astro gina, though about the consequences of the qu for the people of me and not. so the government health system has essentially collapsed as a result of the civil disobedience movement and the targeting health care workers. so before everyday health care systems not available for the people and people suffering from covered, for example, neither getting tasted nor able to access emergency care. the consequence for health care workers is intimidation and arrest all or flaying the country. and so it's a health system in collapse and during the panoramic. now we can anticipate
4:51 pm
that there is a search happening in may and mother bordering countries. are going through a serge mortality, mobility morbidity statistics, and not a viable. we don't know tasting. it's not available. we don't know how many people are positive and people are frightened to go to healthcare services. they might sales might be targeted. the health care services are extremely limited. there's charity clinics, there's private clinics, but they are limited in what they can provide for people. and therefore, we anticipate that people are suffering not only worsting of their normal health condition, but quite likely suffering from the escalation and search of the kinds of and naming. this wasn't always the way it was, georgina you mentioned before, the qu that health facilities, we're in good shape. that's true. so price at the qu the cove and respond to
4:52 pm
me and my old quite right bust my colleagues in the emergency care systems in emergency medicine relating the clinical response. the government hospitals had quite strong tasting screening, korea, and critical care responses. there was a system for treatment, escalation of treatment, transfer that positive patients. there was a robust, public health response people, of course, for a public health response. you need people to be trusting in, in the ministry of health and government systems. and that was happening. there was context tracing and the vaccination vaccination program was rolling out the military coup. the 1st of february has called a halt to all of those activities, and most of those things are no longer progressing. the doctor i spoke to before said me and my wouldn't be able to handle it that way. what, what is coming there? why do you think? i think it's quite likely that there is
4:53 pm
a 3rd wave happening in me and at the moment that there is no available, reliable data. i think you can anticipate that that is that is happening given the neighboring countries, the situation of the neighboring countries. and i do think that me and my will not be able to handle this search. the government hospitals are bailey functioning. government health work is very limited to the workforce is severely restricted and the charity clinics and the private hospitals are not able to provide a service. and the people i'm most reluctant to attend the military hospitals. so in terms of accessing acute care covered people with acute infection and serious symptoms that will be severely diminished in terms of contact pricing and the public health response. that's that's minimal. and the vaccination program,
4:54 pm
i think, is also severely restricted. time for derek williams and your questions on the corona virus call it some people can still get the virus even after being vaccinated is heard immunity, even possible. questions like this, or why many scientists don't like the term heard immunity because they feel the word immunity implies the point where the pandemic suddenly stops. a lot of them prefer the term heard protection because that feed drives don't make everyone in a population magically immune when enough people have had shot. they just, they just help protect people who are still vulnerable and protection implies ongoing vigilance, which is what pretty much all the experts say we're going to need going forward. and there are a few reasons why heard protection will be very difficult to achieve. not least
4:55 pm
that as you say, a few people still contract the disease even after full vaccination and can presumably pass it on to others. this phenomenon is called vaccine failure and the person that happens to is known as a breakthrough case. but data from the end of april, from the u. s. has confirmed something that had been reported from israel, which is that breakthrough cases, at least so far look exceedingly rare that could of course, change as, as more time passes. but right now, the data look great, it's a sign that heard protection might not be unachievable, at least in some local or regional, or even maybe national contexts. but even if transmission is brought largely under control in some places, few experts believe, sorry,
4:56 pm
covey too is just going to go away, because to wipe out the virus, we'd have to hit the vaccination goals globally, which will take years. and in the meantime, immunity could begin to wayne and those who were already vaccinated or the virus could still mutate in ways that would make her protection even harder to achieve me. thanks for watching. see you again. ah, the news,
