2 months locked down at delhi, the construction sector is one of the 1st to reopen. it relies largely on migrant neighbors who have been returning to the big city from the villages in the hope of finding what dw, whenever a child re sent us this report nearly we laborers gather here every morning to find work. do you all usually is one of them. he's an unskilled migrant labeler who has been working in the informal sector in the capital for almost 6 years. but times are tough for him. he was left without any work when delhi went into lockdown after the city was hit by the 2nd week of school with 19 we're barely getting any work. there is so much unemployment. many of labor also come back from the villages. they wait for a job every day, but there just isn't enough work. your guest says you find casual work,

only one or 2 days a week. hardly enough to make a living. economist of hockey thing says the problem is much bigger. he says that many migrant workers are choosing not to come back at all and are dropping out of the workforce because this the few opportunities of finding employment. and he thinks any recovery will take time. it's not go why the cycle, it's just the economy type. it is basically the larger effect of the 1st we've still lingering. and it will compound with this 2nd 3rd, and determine possibly get into a bigger effect, or it will take on longer time for the economy to, for the labor market to, for the employment needs to come to the nominal or normal gauge. the unskilled worker remembers how landfill millions were left jobless during the national lockdown. some of them never found work again. she feels that the scene we happened

to him was. i'm thinking that if i don't get work soon, i'll go back to my village and it looks like i might have to just seems to be no work right now. it was another day with no job for you. he will be back again at the same spot tomorrow morning waiting for work, but he doesn't know how much longer he can hold out. so here we are again talking about lives and livelihoods, whether or not to open or reopen with roger the school to chairperson of the center of social medicine and community health at jane. and you and deli. last time we spoke a couple of months ago, the situation was, dia, 1000 is dying every day. hospitals will close to collapse. they'd run out of oxygen . how are things now? hello ben, good evening from new delhi. last time they spoke, yes, it was a dire straits. this time of cause. people have the value of the leave.

notwithstanding the losses. each family has gone through things, certainly a lot better now. but typically in most of the high incidence states economy, different sectors of the economy as you said, are opening up and the challenge before electrician as well as that ministry does, is how to balance the needs of like the likelihood. i think the key challenge at this point is maintaining the, the coven preparedness, but also making workplaces safer from the corporate point of view. you don't quite optimistic in your judgment of the situation, but the debt was on the spiking again, just a few days ago. i mean, we had the highest numbers reported so far just last week. when could that has certainly been high. as i said,

it's been very painful for almost each and every family last week. but that's good to be understood in the context that several states actually reviewed and audited that goes sometimes under directions from their respective high court. and therefore some of these corrections have actually taken place. it's not that the absolute number of that in the preceding week has been that high. and yet therefore, the best that we have ended up with a certainly higher than it seemed. and some more states are going through this correction or the process and the tally could actually be a little higher than even what it seems now. well, the health department and be how one of the india is poor states revised it's total covered related death toll from some 5 and a half 100298 half 1000 on wednesday last week. what's going on is this down to, under reporting in some places. that is certainly an element of

under reporting. this is not necessarily to, to indicate that, that this is been deliberate, but it's part of the system coping up. there is also the advisory board last year as early as april 2020, as to what home physical with that. and it seems that the clarity of that document of, of those definition. and certainly some of the top tech of those definitions perhaps didn't, didn't really, didn't really tell even what a, what tell departments are actually doing. and therefore, as in the case of b, ha, the high court of the law actually asked for this audit review process. and it's a and then there's this, this change, or the optic in the figures is really a combination of that product. what about this highly infectious delta barry? and if i, if i can part in that well the,

that the very end which is actually the sub lineage of b 6171 was identified in india earlier this year in the southeastern districts of the very last year. it's now subsequently swept through several large states and voting. the late the late actually has been, has been affected both by the alphabet and as well as by the delta variant. and therefore, a lot of what we witness in the 2nd 3rd and india does, does a lot. so the to the damage caused by the delta variant. and therefore in there has now gone to this very large, maybe have gained in that experience space have woke up with, with this in various manners. and we certainly see that the

delta v and lead subsiding in most states, including the limo, my as the, the report indicated. and therefore, therefore, life is certainly limping back to normal. you mentioned before the businesses and not giving enough attention to preventing the spread of coven 19 in the workplaces the economy reopens. is india? on top of this is the country taking the right steps? i believe making workplace is safe. and by this workplace, i do not just mean office spaces but, but in fact, all walks of economy, people are working in your environments. that's something which we really need to focus a lot more beyond the usual platitudes of maintaining distance, etc. because in real life situations, workplaces not definitive, this is true of, of many countries in the world. aside from those who actually have the option of

working home, those are actually need to be physical in workspaces. do face a lot of risk. anecdotally, these are the people who have suffered much of the brand in the 2nd wave. and therefore we really need to do a lot more on making places safer, just going beyond washing and so on. because the structural issues of the buildings, the rooms, the ventilation, the air conditioning systems that are there are available. these certainly need a lot more attention and detail. ok. you heard it from roger, the school from the center of social medicine and community health. thank you. thank you, ben. we talked about it before for several weeks. it was referred to as the indian variance. i know if i were indian, i'd take offense. it was a long, complicated lineage category, but now it's called delta. more than that, with derek williams and the few questions paul used to be 16172 very and smoothly was one is more contagious. oh,

this very into concern which has been designated down under a new naming system recommended by the w. h. ho. it was 1st identified several months ago in india, and it has subsequently been found in many other parts of the world. although final proof is still missing, there's significant evidence that be 16172, or delta is a lot more transmissible than the original version of the virus. and even more contagious than the the alpha barriers that hit some countries hard. last winter. in particular, britain, they are, delta is now causing fresh concern after the country planned to leave lock downs behind on on june 21st. delta is estimated to be call thing around 9 and 10 cases in

a new surge in the u. k. were still flying blind in many places when it comes to tracking the spread of specific variance and tying them, for instance, to, to hospitalization. that makes it hard to currently say with any certainty whether the delta variant causes more severe disease. but the evidence is mounting. it possibly does. britton's responsible agency said that it's early data indicated that people who got the delta variance for more than 2 and a half times more likely to end up hospitalized than those who had contracted the alpha variance. and, and chinese officials, according to the new york times, have also said more patients in a new outbreak linked to the delta various their are showing up at hospitals more severely or critically ill. so. so evidence would appear to be mounting that the

delta variance is indeed more dangerous, especially to people who haven't received at least one dose of vaccine, but health care authorities. and many scientists don't think the evidence is robust enough yet to make an unequivocal case in the the the, the, the, the,

the, the, the, the, okay. so the last season wasn't all about partying. course there was still plenty to celebrate. the emotional highlights of these in, in the 2nd part of our recap, the 30 minutes on d, w. ah,
