recruiter is the community spokesperson, he told us people here were caught off guard, so that this go what he does would have been we weren't prepared for it since the last 15 months. we were totally free since march last year. we didn't go with the in south africa in suddenly it says we're being in, as i already mentioned, what we were pretty bit. there isn't any place in the heart of the community, but it has no capacity to provide care for people who are seriously ill. because the hospital is about 200 kilometers away, while most people who tested positive, hardly experienced any symptoms, no one wants to take any chances. i was negative, but my, my gosh, i was born. so i decided i want to do it for you. if i was positive,

then you will do it for me all. so that's why i stay in my house in my room in florida. and also of course i don't wanna infect some out of peoples of i don't run that has to be infected. that's why i one thing my residence agreed to impose a quarantine on all of clip. i'm 65 households to slow displayed in fiction among the people of the type mid community everyone isolated from each other and the outside world. however hard might have been, the exercise proved rewarding. most people are now free of the virus and there is the general feeling that the worst is over for the brand. but just as people felt safe to come out again with youngsters resuming part time, places like this game of rugby, fresh, nationwide restrictions mean the newly found freedom will be short lived. well,

let's have a look. the way health systems work outside the big cities at dr. ernest dot com is the founding partner abroad reach health care. it's an expert in developing and implementing and large scale public health programs and join us from cape town. welcome to the w. dr. we've just seen that small town hit hard by the pandemic. other ment, likely to be many more like that in south africa. unfortunately at this point, yet there are, we were always worried about a 3rd wave based on the fact that we're going into winter. and this was with the previous variant. and then it would be worse for the delta variant that apparently is much more highly transmissible who coinciding with are going into the serious part of winter. i think that's a bit of a been a deadly combination. unfortunately, i think we can expect more infections and all you expecting rural areas in small communities to be hit harder than perhaps the big cities i wouldn't necessarily

say harder or less, i think across the board. i think everybody's going to be quite hard in particular, if we have more of more aggressive variant and we're talking about being in winter time and winter in south africa pipes with year we have temperature is below 10 degrees centigrade in the evenings. and oftentimes, no doubt to 0 in the morning. so people will stay indoors with close windows, and that's going to increase the sprag both in urban and rural areas. so here we are putting ourselves in a worldwide pandemic. how is the government of south africa doing? is it giving sufficient priority to the, to the folding funding of health care facilities? it is actually already one for the government i thought after. and i think that we see exemplified by the president himself who stands up and personally gives these updates is clearly a big priority. however, the country has experienced quite a few big challenges in trying to address the probate. in particular,

we're trying to get back to nation program up and running. so because he's still been a bit behind, meaning that the new very he does at a time when not enough consult, have been faxing the x. and what is, what is keeping that back? is it that same supply as the vaccine has been seeing what's holding the the program back at the moment? i think it's primarily been issues related to supply and, and then secondarily, some issues related to preparedness and planning. but for the most part of the company, i struggled with some major issues of supply early on the shows the astrazeneca vaccine, which was ineffective against the barrier that we had to pull the plug on back. and then they moved to the g n j back the in however, that got halted for a while at the study, the blood clotting issue and then were put on hold of you to contact a nation issue. so the 2 main vaccines which are got interrupted, which has nothing to do with the country at all. and the country then has also

invested in the 5 impact team which finally arrived. but it's 2 doses. so yeah, there been a few fundamental struggles getting out of the block overall and done, i think very good. we can see the progress wrapping up. right. about a 100000 people a day. we need to be at about $350000.00 a day to be on track. and i think they have a big commitment to get the country they're good talking to to thank you for spending the time dr. dr. doc and katie. my pleasure. thank you so much. australia is also tightening restrictions as new clusters of infections emerge. also linked to the delta variant. care workers looking asked to be elderly, now have to be vaccinated. several cities of impose locked downs and mandatory mask wearing the forces fair. this latest wave of cases is the most serious so far. sydney's iconic opera house shrouded in silence. it's puzzling streets deserted.

decision has responded to an outbreak of the highly contagious corona virus delta variant. with the 2 week lockdown. meanwhile, a lockdown in darwin has been extended. the reality is, we are not out of the woods yet, not by a long way. the risk to the community has grown in the past 24 hours. we are now in an extremely critical period. we must die lockdown while we keep this bar as trapped. other cities have made mosque wearing compulsory and limited social gatherings. australia has recorded relatively few cases. $30000.00 since the pandemic began. but its success in keeping the virus at bay is being threatened by a stuttering vaccination campaign. only around 5 percent of the population is fully vaccinated. we really faced the most serious crisis in the covert pandemic since the early days. in february, march,

last year. it's made the worse because this was a largely avoidable and foreseeable crisis. but thanks to the very poor procurement and roll out of the vaccines, we don't have that strength to, to respond to the situation that emerging as the virus forces life to a standstill. australians can only hope that the vaccination rollout picks up speed soon. a large part of united states and canada are experiencing a have way, one village in kansas british columbia. so temperatures hit nearly 47 celsius the weekend. at 116 degrees fahrenheit, the cooling dip to beat the summer heat. residents to the water, a sister mama rose above 40 degrees celsius in seattle for the 1st time ever.

yeah, i mean you just send around like i you can breeze is so high for me. definitely have to issue. yeah, yeah. the pavement, even gravity. no, thank you. go back inside the heat was too much for this farmer's market. very few times that we do close the market early, most of the time of which we've ever had to close the market earliest because because of the heat. i think that's the 1st time we've ever closed early because of where the temperature is like these are no coincidence. the past decade has been the warmest on record and the 5 hottest days were all recorded in the last 5 years . the main thing going on is, is highly unusual weather pattern. but that being said, climate change is real. our temperatures have warmed here, especially summer nighttime temperatures. and so that has just kind of raised the baseline in made this heat event that much more severe. while some seem to revel in

the extreme temperatures, many environmentalists say this heat wave bears all the hallmarks of a climate emergency. and sports tennis is wimbledon fortnight is back after the pandemic forced it to take last summer off of a joke of it for the men, an ash party for the women of the favorites to win. but the funds of the famous total amount skirts of london are just glad to be back. the sun shone early on the expense of the all england lawn, tennis, and croquet. club fans were in fine mood. there weren't as many as there might have been because of restrictions, which meant easier access to the traditional strawberries and cream and the glasses of pims. it's amazing. there was no limit in last year and we heard the one very excited to see the post. just getting on the grounds is cause to be excited. after all this tournament builds itself simply as the championships,

wimbleton has been around since $1877.00, so they pretty much have the right to attach any label they like the face. of course, we've been to obviously in a long time, so really looking forward through today we'll see some good matches are made away. randall sales don't mention the rain because then of course the rain came and the covers went out, as they so often do inside central court though under a roof. novak joke of which was added against a 19 year old brit jack draper, who actually won the 1st set and had a stunned crowd on its feet. but top see the joke of each one, the next 3. and that was that still the oldest and most prestigious tennis event in the world was back. i just saw no varsity again. and therefore we can watch over here on tv,

just watch the whole the rain clouds did give way and fans were treated to day one of the championships, a dozen more to go. that's it's, you know, up to date, well, well, years of the top of the hour, i'll leave you now with some more emotional scenes at wimbledon, where the crowd gave a standing ovation. that hadn't healthcare workers for their efforts during the pandemic. and they paid particular tribute to sarah gilbert, one of the scientists who created the oxford astrazeneca vaccine have the club chairman invited to the wrong individuals, a representative of organizations who have contributed so much in the nation is responsible to the dentist and to help to make this women possible. today, they include the job to develop the end to tell you the vaccines in

the fight against the corona virus pandemic. how has the rate of infection in developing? what does the latest research information and contact the corona virus? the 19th special next on d, w to or not to own. what about a sharing economy?

change in thinking is changing the economy to create something new to be eaten nomics magazines and germany on d w the me? ah, what a difference a year makes. the football fans follow the european championships in some places even without mass bands are playing before live audiences and people are traveling again. but it's all of that a good idea. just over a year ago, the corona virus made the world shut down, brought death and to spare me,

i'm seeing young patients, old patients, people of all age ranges who are just incredibly sick and you can even hear it. now that as i'm walking through patient rooms in the hallway, you just hear oxygen. now the, our vaccines and countries where many people have had them more than half the population in the worst country, the u. s. in britain, that's even 2 thirds. after more than a year of coven 19, we've become familiar with complex medical terminology, difficult biological concepts. but we also realize it's not going away that easily . britain in the united states, are having trouble convincing more people to get vaccinated. delta very and spreading rapidly. and vast regions like africa, still lack of scenes. is it really time to celebrate

in the welcome to your coven, 900 special? i'm chris, kolber, and berlin. life is beginning to return to normal in many places, as the worst of the pandemic looks like. it might be behind us, but there are spots in the world where it's a different story, like an australia where several cities are re introducing restrictions to try to contain new coven, 1900 clusters. some linked to the delta verite sydney. and darwin have begun new lockdown while other cities are re introducing mask. where are the 5 percent of australia's population have been fully vaccinated? now the shows dealing and living with the virus is still necessary for now covered $900.00 isn't gone. let's get more on this from julian tang, he's a biologist and a clinical micro biology professor at lester university in the u. k. welcome to

d. w. julian for more than a year. the current of iris has the term of the daily lives of people around the globe. now you've been researching respiratory viruses for years. how is this virus different so this far is not really behaving much differently from a typical pandemic virus entering a totally separate human population. i think what's different about this far as now is the way we can actually study it in real time. and also track with different computations as well as the case number, the death rates. the magic this symptomatic transmission and infection plus also the vaccine development on the anti virus trials are being developed that for this pandemic that the current of ours is not as badly as a bowl for example, nor is difficult to combat of h i v. nevertheless, it has triggered an unprecedented global crisis. how exactly

so each of the terms attached to certain groups of the population and the bill again is very geographically confined, whereas the, my team is really affected. everybody from every country or socio economic status individual. and also including the help coworkers trapped them. so this is a facet spreads very much one of the vein of influenza. the measles, for example. we also turn cause ace inspect infection, and it's very transmissible preceptor magically which is different from the previous saw as far as back in 2003. and also different from things like small fox and, and the bowl as to some extent. because they connected me with it up to 5 days before sent and onset and some people never develop symptoms at all and kill those spread the virus. and i was seeing a penetration into the, in the population in primary school, secondary schools. but these children mixing classes of 20 to 30 every day, 5 days a week and bring the vice home to the parents so that i don't care is. and i was

seeing much, much more of a focus of the population the vaccinated yet. now the younger population being more affected by the current of ours is one of the things that has many people worried when it comes to the delta vary and how worried are you about this mute? so this for the reasons one is like is actually breaking through the double dose, vaccinate individuals in the population to come a time when the vaccination of the older people have been mostly completes it. so there was still seen some breaking infections there, but now is focusing on the younger people and the young people are the ones who are still working and driving the economy as well as in full time education. and also seeing an emergence of long coded in a greater way than previously. conspiracy was obscured by deaths and hospitalization cases. but now we see lots of long favorite emerging fish, 50 people having hard coded to get long have it become a chronic, helps

a burden on the society during when the current virus started developing these various word among scientists was, well, variance are more contagious, but probably less deadly or less likely to trigger severe cases is that still the case when it comes to the delta vary? so it's hard to say at the moment and now we've got, you know, delta plus with the delta a y won carrying the south african for 17 and mutation if these parents keep emerging and changing as we tried to assess. and it's very hard to actually find severity in a very different way. but one aspect that we haven't really picked up on now that we did discuss it last year, was this idea of antibody dependent enhance. but i just wondering whether the previous community given by vaccine or national question to the original who had virus, might be wrapped in a different way to these new a variance that may actually allows me to have severity of illness based on that

baseline of immunity induced by the previous one, virus special immunity, or the vaccines which are based on the original virus. that's something that we need to look into. now, scientists have learned a lot about the current virus and just the course of one year and quickly develop effective vaccines as well. what are the things that researchers do not yet know, and that they're specifically looking into ok, so there's just some news come out from you about the mixed vaccine regimen. which shows that if you give one of the actors and then a 2nd, those are the 54 weeks later you get a very good level of community. so this mix and max fact seems, seems to work quite well. and even the reverse order seems to be quite effective, so that will help hopefully, broad. the vaccine options globally, of course, the money will actually to try and this. the other thing is whether read infections or breaks infections also have a kind of higher risk or lower risk of long favorite versus just natural infections

of the 1st time. we're not sure what the consequence the reinspection would be, because a lot of infections, a milder we don't know whether that actually increases or decreases the risk of long have it as well. doing in your opinion, have mistakes been made and research might have contained the extent of the pandemic briefly if you would. yes, i think all of europe and north america realized that it could have acted earlier and will dramatically like se, asia in australia, new zealand locked down the virus earlier to give time. so the fact seems to be developed and distributed ministered. so the countries like australia, new zealand, and soc is, is in countries the got it right. the 1st part, the pandemic, the now what we seeing is a increased degree of action hesitancy. and refusal in those same countries actually did very well controlled the virus because they see the prices less the threatened, the vaccine proposed effects. and that change in that mentality needs to be made to

place every body from ongoing reputation virus on the generation of new variance. jillian tang of lester and versity. thank you for your thoughts and now it is time to put one of your questions to our science corresponded or williams paul new code 19 variance just grew stronger and stronger over time. oh, this is a test question to answer because it assumes that evolution is predictable, which it is. that mutation happens randomly in virus genomes, as they replicate. and the physical changes that those genetic changes end up causing and the virus is what we mean when we talk about it evolving a tiny fraction of those mutations by just by sheer dumb log,

they'll provide variance with evolutionary advantages of some kind, a big advantage as we've seen, for instance, with the alpha and the delta variance, as far as covey to is. if a variant becomes more transmissible for some reason, but trans miss ability can increase for a range of reasons. one is say that a variant is able to get yourselves to make a lot more of it than your average work a day stars toby to virus can. another would be if a variant were able to remain viable longer and the environment hands increasing its chances of infecting someone. so very different reasons. same effect. see what i mean about predicting this stuff. so when you say stronger and stronger, which i assume means causing worse and worse disease, then you have to start by asking whether doing so would provide

a variant with an evolutionary advantage of some kind and, and it's hard to see how it would a lot of biologists say, a more optimal combination of traits for a virus is to grow, eventually more transmissible, but at the same time, less deadly. because if a pathogen doesn't kill people, they're going to be around to spread it to others, and they're more likely to let down their guard. and in fact, each other with it. so, though we can't predict with any certainty what future, sorry, covey to variance, well, work like many experts expect them to spread more easily, but cause less severe disease. and they could well be that within 10 or 20 years, getting over 19 won't be any worse for the average person, then say, catching a cold is today. but because of illusion isn't predictable. that's just the hopeful guess me,

evolution isn't predictable. well, that's all for this edition of code 900 special for more information about the pandemic. you can check out the cobit 900 section on our website at w w dot com until next time. thanks for watching ticket. the news. the news news. the news news, the the
