will be the journey of his life far from home. ali can finally become the person he's always wanted to be. and i have only spare medley elementary credit that will go through with it. i was born in berlin stuart's march 30th on d, w. ah, the corolla virus pandemic has taken a massive psychological toll on people worldwide, from recovering from serious infections to experiencing deaths and one's family, or circle of friends, or even job loss and isolation. people are coping at least in part in very different ways. but today's program we'll see how volunteers and places like india

are looking after corona virus patients. but in other parts of the world, people are ignoring the virus and the risk of infection. but 1st to hong kong, where those entering the country 1st have to quarantine or reporter hung chin experienced it 1st hand but didn't let it bring her down with cooking 19, not only causes an illness with physical symptoms, but it can also impact your mental health drug and damage corona virus restrictions put many people in a form of isolation that is unprecedented in the modern world, i'll say, experienced it in quite an extremely during a 14 day quarantine in hong kong. the city is well known for his harsh crone of ours restrictions. i was confined in a hotel room, not allowed to see any one. and i'd like to share with you how the confinement turned out for me. this was the hotel room where state for 2 weeks. i have to say

that i was among the lucky ones. my room was relatively comfortable. i could opened a window a little bit, even though this is forbidden, in a lot of quarantine hotels. and from the window, i could observe how people were living their lives. i got my music 3 times a day. but that didn't mean i got to see anyone in person when it arrived. it didn't take me long to discover this little notebook. i quite like the sentence on the cover. if you don't like something, change it. if you can't change it, change your attitude out of curiosity. i checked out the term while cation online. it's a program organized by the center for suicide research and prevention at the university of hong kong. oh, i had nothing to do. so i decided to call them up, they didn't do my guys. elation what happens when people are isolated for too long?

just, you know, they are long diversity did a number of surveys throughout the pandemic. a lot of times the interview you said they felt very lonely. how come it don't get lingo, could they got their level of anxiety and depression also increase. he's always of the houses that say, you're a young high kuanz. all i am human beings are very used to being and control of something i'm told yet. see how it holds. i know. yeah. and normally we can decide what to do and what not to do. come guy crunching. his oak is out of high during a quarantine. this isn't really the case or the high call. so in our booklet, we introduce some little exercises to make people feel that they have the power to decide on something. again, how you can even get your l tyler mean they had secure like we also asked people to clean their rooms or dressel dresser, even if they're not going anywhere. okay, so all of these things can bring back the sense of control. got back. so hi john, hold you got you? sonya got got know little practices like this brewing

and savoring a cup of tea to train all mindfulness. and they also told me to exercise every day. it felt good. another tip from the team of to stay connected with others. i was really glad to have many friends visiting me regularly. i oh, additionally i said different personal goals, like practicing guitar and learning russian a few times a week. i was isolated but did not feel lonely. and now the week passed by quickly. soon i found myself packing my luggage once again in about 10 minutes. i will leave this room after 14 days of quarantine. i'm super excited, but i'm also

a little bit scared to step out of this room. i've been captivated for too long. anyway, i see you later. bye bye. the 1st welcoming home ever since i arrived here after my friend pick me up. we took a taxi back home. hello, i'm almost there with 1st time seen my parents again in 2 and a half years. unfortunately, hong kong is experiencing is, was corona virus we've ever,

despite his tough ruse, the government is responding with even tougher measures to cut the spread of the virus. so for me it's like moving from one quarantine to another. but i think my experience in the past 2 weeks has made me mentally a little stronger. it is a difficult time, but i'm sure everything will turn out fine. and if you are in isolation right now, please hang on. because one day it will be over while some are learning to cope with quarantine and isolation, others are still trying to ignore the corona virus 2 years into the pandemic. this is not only prevalent in european countries including germany, but also on other continents. in brazil, the population's willingness to wear a mask or to get vaccinated has declined significantly. sheesh. in the past year, corolla by sellers, marcel has administered more than 15000 doses. she is convinced that the vaccine is

the only way to control the pandemic. although the unvaccinated r a minority in brazil, they represent 88 percent of current hospitalizations in the country. working on the front line, she has witnessed the skepticism of many with a j. j. a lot of people are coming to get vaccinated for the 1st time. now, while some are even taking the 4th dose, what did they a lot of many are only coming now because they have an uncle or a sister or someone close to them who got the virus and developed a complication or is intubated, you know, really, and that has made them realize the importance of the vaccine silversmith on last month's brazil recorded the highest number of new infections. since the outbreak of the pandemic even surpassing the deadly peaks of the 1st and 2nd waves. almost 100 percent of those cases were caused by the omi cron strain. but despite the

difficult situation barely any one still wears a mask or maintain social distancing. after 2 years with the virus brazilians, the tired of the restrictions, but relaxing those restrictions could lead to an explosion of infections. research have initiates olivera from feel cruise. one of the most respected scientific institutions of brazil refuses to meet us in person to avoid the risk of transmission. he anticipates a challenging situation in the coming weeks or mental good. i did a little better, will see a large increase in the number of infections even much larger than the dusting capacity. so we'll need to look at these that are very careful. you will see an increase in hospitalizations on deaths, which will continue to rise for another month or 2. you will maintain a high level of hospitalizations compared with whether we had in november and january because families are corolla,

finishes her shift at this health center and goes to another one where she also works. she knows that the unvaccinated under threat from the contagious omicron variant could push the country's health care system to the limit . hulu, even as many countries in the world have been easing their corona virus extractions . the pandemic is still on the present. children in particular have suffered a great deal over the past 2 years. they've often not understood what's happening around them. that makes it all the more important for adults to take the time to explain it to them. children pick up far more than adults realize. covet measures affect them directly. they see images of the war in ukraine. in addition to news about animals going extinct and

the worsening climate crisis. sometimes they simply feel the tension fear or anger of the adults around them. that is why it is important that we talk to kids about the crisis. but how do i do it right? hold on, i have a few tips for you. and you guys take children's feeling seriously. a crying child needs comfort. believe it or not, he don't have to be afraid, isn't the best way to respond to a child's fear. it diminishes the feeling making the child think their concern is inappropriate, and maybe even forbidden. a better response. i understand you, it scares me to. ah wait, you want me to admit that i'm scared to. won't that scare my child even more? nope. don't be afraid of your own fear. children benefit when adults are

authentic. in order to have a conversation about feelings, adults should be aware of their own emotions and capable of expressing them. what we shouldn't do however, is overwhelm the little ones with our emotions. they shouldn't feel like they have to soothe and comfort us. okay, i got that, but what do i say now? let the child guide you. you can use the child's questions to determine the level and complexity of the conversation. you shouldn't lecture just guide based on what the child wants to know. what is my child? ask what we can do to help. is it a good idea to participate in protests with children? i'm glad you're asking. that brings me to my last point. children expect adults and especially their parents to protect them. that means that being informed and having effect based conversation sometimes isn't enough. we can also try to make positive

change with our children by participating in a demonstration, for example, or collecting donations. do you know, with self efficacy is on the feeling of managing a difficult situation on your own? exactly. we cancels any of the major crises as individuals, but within our means, we can work to make change. they are by strengthening our self efficacy and reducing feelings of helplessness. this applies to children, but also to adults. ah, doing something for yourself is a way to cope with crisis. it's helped lots of people during the pandemic. in india, there are also volunteers who support affected families with groceries, medicine and money. for some of them, it's a part of their belief system. that's the case for these volunteers at an n g o,

near new delhi. there have now been more than $1800000.00 infections in the region over the beef men of orland, during that time to practice a central tenet of citizen service to the community. that includes distributing free food, also known as lung that, the lawyer, good breed, thing to me. the head of this seat temper says that these meals will go out to the homes of good on our spacious boy, there is no discrimination. go to gov, a members of every community. sit together, wait longer, even backing longer here to send to the homes of people who are well, this is what grew knocked out. last year. this commitment to service meet the difference between life and death for thousands of people. india, 2nd wave of corona virus cases driven by the delta variant over vend hospitals and

exhausted oxygen supplies. we visited the camp, set up by cancer, help international to distribute free oxygen with them on it for preserve, benita 100 oxygen cylinders every 2nd. really all. or we have each truck scoring supplies all the way in direction of the other taller v p for the oxygen in full, and we distribute it for free, only vertically loving over here. in 6 weeks, the camp helped over 14000 people. deeper was one of the warranty years at the medical center. her family didn't want her to walk during the delta. we've given the risks at the oxygen camp, but then casa help saved her uncle, where you, my uncle searched everywhere in the state, and he couldn't find medical oxygen. he finally got help here, or say, now my family completely supports my decision to work here. i feel proud of being part of this out for those whose lives were saved during this difficult time.

drew me is a heal. but he says serving the community is integra to his faith. the damper offers free medical treatment and check ups, as well as corona, lightest, vaccinations, and tests that also providing support to families and financial difficulty due to the pandemic be by one. families gone. neglect vivo, adopted 60 to families who have lost their bread winner to the crew. elijah e p. their children school fees as a debit card. we send them food rations at am groceries or will go back, visit their their course until one of them can start any garden mirabel with other things i tom right now that will kill noah, but drew me says his steam is already speaking to medical experts to find out how to prepare for the next wave. his own bouts with the good on our latest. don't scare him. he says, he's just trying to live up to his duty to help our

science correspondent derek williams has also wanted to help out since the beginning of the pandemic. he answers your questions and hopefully removes a little bit of your uncertainty in the process. this time susan em wants to know. what does research say about repeated infections? this is one of those $1000000.00 topics that we're still learning about. it's been clear from the beginning of the pandemic, that, sorry, covey to might potentially re infect people regularly over time. after all, there are other corona viruses, before which generally cause cold like symptoms that can in fact us, multiple times throughout our lives. now, 2 years in it's clear that source koby 2 might share that ability. we know that immunity to wayne's over time. that's why covered 1900 vaccine booster shots are

now recommended. but what does the potential for reinfection really mean? well, let's look at what the data says so far. since we know that re infections are possible, a big question is, how often they could reoccur. health authorities largely agree that an otherwise healthy individual who recovers from over 19 is at low risk of getting it again for at least a few months. but that's not 0 risk. it's basically impossible to quantify your own individual risk because each person is going to have a different immunological experience with the disease. some infected people will get bad cases and others won't even notice they are infected. and those experiences have an influence on your immune response to subsequent exposures. one

place the evidence is really pretty solid though, is that what's called hybrid immunity, which is a combination of vaccination and infection that it provides more robust protection than infection alone does. so experts say that even if you had the disease, it's still a good idea to go ahead and get vaccinated anyway. but it's also important to note that the arm across the very end has changed the playing field because it's more immune evasive than earlier variance. more that means that it's better at infecting people with existing immunity, whether they've acquired it from, from vaccination or from prior infection. that ability, the experts say, is a big factor in the massive spikes in numbers of infections that we've seen in many

countries in the last few months. but what does that mean when it comes to disease severity? i mean, if you get over to 1900 again, will it be less severe? they are. the news from studies is cautiously positive. one conducted in the middle east involving over $1300.00 confirmed re infections, for instance, said that they were 90 percent less likely to hospitalized or to kill people the 2nd time around. so when reinfection does happen, most experts are saying they would expect the course of the disease to in general, be milder. in the some people have used art to process what they've experienced during the and demick, including a young photographer from bangladesh, who now lives in berlin. she created

a series of photos that have been featured in an exhibit their dedicated to the people in her homeland and their suffering. ah, the weak equal died with the close release of our settings to see. i know lots of people the last day meetings and they couldn't manage to see them for the last time as well. sam, i, but in pretty aims to show the effects of the corona there is pandemic in her home country bangladesh. with her photo series torn it's also way for the 37 year old artist who now lives in berlin to come to terms with her own distressing encounters with a virus. a. my father in law died that

day and also i got back will be i had like barman in damage on my days and i go desponding laces, disease through the copied. and you can imagine like so many things, and we didn't have that, not that much time too late to think about laws and been we are just having so many things. one after in and our been, when my father in law died ended up after 8 months later, my mother in law's so died and i got this long time go beat. so we, i feel that i'm in a battlefield and fighting all the time with the situation. i had it, you know, land while con, call we'd so wind up will read again tomorrow. vish, you know, everybody's supposed care will know how to re,

egg would or not pin. so in the meantime, there was loss of news game. but to the newspaper and social media reach surprised me a lot, shocked me a lot. and i started collecting those news. personal experiences about not being featured in bangladesh, strictly regulated media, as part of a scholarship pretty began to focus on them and to show people stories in her pop up photo studio in tucker island. to me gum, some ting may be more focused on trauma or more focused on being an individual individual, you know, in newspaper and ottoman diddy maybe so many cases is common one after another. but i wanted to make it focused on individual incident. the plight of working class

people is at the center of put his torn series. the lockdown cast them into an existential crisis. from one day to the next ah, window of global started. then we found that this situation burned monte extreme for the working glasby. but we knew that that is winged, knew that these things exist visible, but we are very ignorant. so back time, i 1st experience that someone is coming in from my road and asking for rides and working just people. they don't more like they work on daily basis and they get payment and they leave the life like this. they don't have any savings on one of mother. she just like sold her here to get some rice. they like this guy know people. they suffered

a lot and they're starting billing that it's better to die read gardener rather than hunger. when bangladesh garment factories reopened with a corona virus, still prevalent workers were suddenly faced with a new kind of problem. when they stay in the city, they have to rent a place, you know, and small place. lots of people staying to hear that because they cannot afford to be alone in the city. and if we are one room. so in one room during the call with gun will. so when everybody's talking about our i solution, if you go to the slum, how good a man is. they solution pretty blame spun ladders, class society isbell as a government poor covered policies for people. it's needless suffering during the pandemic. i raylyn is one of the policeman. he is suicide.

when he got co heat, he just fell off from douglas. he jumped, i should wanted enough. he just jumped from the roof. uses carol so. and if you, if you don't have like a different on any thing, we will get more confusion, more depress, didn't know what to do with this team. and we're scared and more incident clean, have been torn, has already been on show in berlin by the photos were also short listed for a talent of what the jury citing the impressive and contemporary take on the subject. ah ah, we've all learned many new ways to deal with the corona virus pandemic, whether alone together or providing help for others. hopefully we've been able to provide you with a little food for thought the virus and its mutations will be with us for a while,

making innovative approaches that allow us to better cope with the situation all the more important. we'll explore some of them in our next show until then, so long and stay healthy with with

ah, with who to the point. strong opinions, clear positions, international perspectives, a u. s. president who originally wanted to take care of the home front, travels to europe, looking to shore up the united front, with e. u and nato allies biden versus pu team. can us stop the war in ukraine
