10:02 am
their ads to the over 1700000 confirmed cases of the virus in that country. that's the highest anywhere on the continent d, w. every increase is there and brings us this report on an alarming situation. the methods shouldn't be new to anyone, one into half years into adobe pandemic wash your hands maintain social distance where mosque. but the disaster management officers in cape town have observed that more and more people and not sticking to the rules. i'll plead to them really to consider the loved ones, even though they may be resistant to, to comply with total. but they must think of the family members and they want to know because how they feel if they carry dividers, they don't want to comply with people. i don't and potentially losing enough to i'm not wearing math in public as a criminal offense in south africa. yet many people don't,
10:03 am
but mostly this mosque and everything is for each people, you know what i mean because they have so a lot of money. they don't want to die. bullet eating us. it is tiring. it is especially for those who goes to school and like kids now there must go 2 days a week. like, it's all it's frustrating then it's frustrating for a lot of close to me die because are far already on the 2nd wave. so i'm, what are you doing this ted? belief so far, the province of how ting around south africa, economic kept your hand. this book has been hit particularly hard making up for more than 60 percent of the you infection. scientists expect strict lockdown rule soon, but will the 3rd way fits the entire country harder than the 2nd? no, we don't expect to in the, the areas at listing the close to provinces of south africa to be worse than the
10:04 am
2nd wave. why that is because the 2nd wave was very severe in the coastal regions of south africa. and we also know from the science that we have done that the people that got infected with that the variance had released a very high level antibodies. so we expect to see a kind of population immunity around because i never did, i didn't tell him that he was out the management, the courage and the elderly to sign up for them. what you recall, what, but the problem is they are still not enough vaccines available south africa order the scenes for 75 percent of its population, but only about 3 percent were an auction later so far, mainly due to global supply shortages. the latest setback about 2000000 johnson and johnson, those that already arrived in the country can not be used because they were possibly contaminated during the production process. in the u. s. a. at the current pace.
10:05 am
the vaccination campaign here won't make a big difference during this 3rd wife. while for more, let's speak to young boom. he's an epidemiologist and the africa representative for epicenter the research arm of doctors without borders in yoni camera. and thanks for being with us, professor boom. the vaccine shortage is a problem for the whole african continent. 98 percent of people that remain unvaccinated. the w h o estimates that 225000000 doses are still needed. is the continent at risk of being left behind the continents are really being left behind. you now in 6 months, think western country have we seen the vaccine and now he's forgetting to have some for some of the country that are exposed. so it is true that all the country africans who don't have the same challenges, but us,
10:06 am
so we're showing africa really is a challenge if you don't have the vaccine. why it has been our valuable global yesterday, the w h. o announced plans for setting up a back seen production hub in south africa. how significant is this? how fast can i help fight the pandemic on the continent. i think of all it's worth beatable to have been produced in the country. but for the 3rd wave, for these carrying our brit going not a bit late. actually what we need is to have those 15 available even for even those on may be late for country life. again, the africa was currently heard because we've already something good for the upcoming ways and also for the other disease. remember that we are going to produce those by not only for me,
10:07 am
but my also be important for all the disease for which you 40 by africa. ok. now we've seen the more transmissible delta variant of the corona virus ravaging through india and now rapidly spreading around the world. how worried are you about the impact it will have on the african continent? i think we are quite concerned because you see the country that are no quite the clothes from the top, which is like, you know, bus, uganda, you know, media country that receive a lot of problems coming from india, which means more exports of having that's the death of our, when you look at the population because you like the gun, the way we have actually put our research on fund bike because of the increased number of keys. you will have a large part of the population who are hobby or b c. i potential and diabetes, so we have the main concern of the high number of people my di already seeing some
10:08 am
of the so called morbidity is playing a role there. and you say africa has already been left behind. the pandemic forces, by definition, a global problem. if we fail to tackle the pandemic properly in africa, what implications could have for the rest of the world? you know, we are all inter defense. if we don't stop there and then we can, after will be rolling some new value in the entire western population. that's already seen the pfizer, the more then i all of our team at some point, those byron with combine me and faxing. so we are all together. maybe we are literally relating to the printer and he's africa off of the sun. i mean, there is no one who would be able to grade. nobody's say everyone say, professor yup, boom, africa representative of the research branch of doctors without borders speaking to
