could be within reach, ah, what is it really is possible to reverse aging researchers and scientists all over the world for in a race against time they are peers and rivals with one daring goal to outsmart nature. more life starts may 28th on d, w. ah, have you lost your job or changed professions in the last 2 years? you're not alone. welcome to archiving 19 special for many people. the corona virus pandemic spelled financial disaster in argentina, more people sled into poverty. while it's 12 richest families, right?

10, billions. also on the show around the world, firms were forced to close, including private boss operators in zimbabwe and from welfare recipient to ice cream entrepreneur. an inspiring story from south africa. though the country is still battling new cove at variance life here is slowly returning to normal. a crowded venue life music good to pipes that the weapons wouldn't unto you though and his band have been missing for almost 2 years. south africa, strict cove at 19 restrictions have kept things quiet. doing that time is good for them to open up even though things was the weird. but i'm happy to see that everyone is enthusiastic. most importantly ones died of being tired. so just happy to be outside and see if we can make it work, i guess will never be normal. but we'll establish a new norm, but we have to be vigilant and still take care of us off. but i am feeling positive

and got a feeling people out and about here in cape town, seem to share most ignore the rules and don't wear a mask while indoors. this despite rapidly increasing numbers of infections, but even viral interests and not ringing the alarm bill, because about 80 percent of the population have already developed some immunity, mainly due to previous infections. the big ground of natural infection and increase in coverage of vaccines is really, really be a very helpful is tisha. those 2 things that the immunity is important. boosting that community with the vaccines natural immunity and then vaccines is very important with really needs to get most people vaccinated this, especially as early day town than you or me, concept variance be a for and e, a 5 begins to emerge. both strains were discovered by south african scientists and data suggests they transfer much faster than other people that were just infected

with omicron b, a one that was the original one. they can easily get to rein fax it with be a fought and be a 5. so we know that this previous immunity from previous infection, it does not to very protective from 2nd infection, but to his to expect the death this immunity to will be protective against hospitalization and death. as long as hospital to remain relatively empty by religious se there's no need for boss to remain empty to. that's why they are not calling for tights or covert regulations in south africa. south africa was one of the few african countries to pay social assistance to people who are unemployed and had no other source of income during the pandemic. the amount was small, roughly 20 year as a month, which spoke to controversy. but it helped many survive. and a few to even start a new business. you vent photography. that's what tandal max

would. it's before the pandemic struck, but after almost all events where cancelled, he had to find new subjects to photograph. he saved about 40 euros from his covert . grands to come up with creative ice cream design. the pictures posted on his social media channels went viral and he decided to open an ice cream parlor at his mother's house. you know, idea, this is a stupid idea. you know, we just have to try it out and, and we'll cut as it's so crazy and interesting and it makes me feel that i can achieve anything on, on good days. he now makes more than 1000 euros up to 200 customers, find their way to his home in the way to a township. and almost everyone here heard about the place on live. going my head. i got it on facebook, on social media,

on dog instagram as well, and i found it on social media. and when i found out about it, that was like, wow, this is some really cool flip doing section about the little amount of money mark. if you can see all of our marketing was interested in social media and 3 is word of mouth. so more thing, social media, i tell a lot of people that revision try and utilize social media simply because. busy it's the family house now turn into a bit in the kitchen and we make it happen. i love spending time here. i get to spend more time with my family. i missed the time where we create our beautiful palace tando and now employs his sister, a brother, a neighbor, and his proud mother. he decided limit, take a chance,

let me see the so wait and did it did way. yeah, we are to day his in a position to feed him, had to fit himself and help out in the family because my kids, when doing anything it, i think we all are well, there's no jobs in south africa. they have been to school, but tar. the can get employment annually. wow. tando is, are the type that i wanted to, or report to a pause. so wanted to be his own pass. so this is a blessing. since the business is growing fast. so wait, a creamery is now looking for a commercial space to rent, much to the liking of tundras mother who wouldn't mind regaining some of her privacy at home to under already has bigger plans. he wants to add waffles and smoothies to the portfolio and even start some food trucks. the some the pandemic created business opportunities like employees of ugandans

start up rockets, health. the tele medicine company offers health services via phone or internet, connecting patients to doctors and hospitals. at this call center in uganda, doctors consult with patients virtually dr . davis musing goosey wants to improve access to health care and uganda. in 2015, he founded rocket health. that one, we figured out that we needed to redesign a solution that really solves a lot of these problems, like long waiting times are the cost of care the quality, okay? so by putting together look at health services that starts with you just being able to have a voice call or a chat, or a video call with a medical doctor. we thought that you know, that cuts out your travel time immediately you get that the help that you need as

soon as you need it. and then also being able to integrate lab services and pharmacy services also means that you can save more time by getting k in the comfort of your home or your office, or at school. many people in uganda don't have access to regular health care. some just live too far away. pandemic related locked downs, meet visits to a doctor, even more difficult. and in person visits, also post the risk of infection. one of the 1st confirmed covered cases in uganda involved to health care worker in the months that followed. many frontline health workers were infected, most stayed in their jobs, but worried about their families. doctors working from home can help take the pressure of overcrowded hospitals and reduce the risk of corona virus exposure for doctors, patients and their contracts. it does give you some formal protection because you're not you and your client not in that you're not sharing the same space. so

you can have people stick where they are. and you have this one other doctor that i, you know, behind a telephone, able to still provide them with the same services that they would have. what if they actually went to the hospital? i think it benefits both doctors, beach in their telemedicine world. and those that are actually practicing medicine . and traditionally in june 2021, the number of coven cases in uganda rose sharply. that same month, rocket health recorded more than 75000 tele medicine consultations. the company also collects laboratory samples from their clients and delivers health care products and medicines, directly to clients in kampala and the surrounding region. clients appreciate that. they can even access health care from work. it's convenient and saves time. so sophia knotty ronda that was because it's late 2 to 3

hours with broke and killed and want to make that coil. i'll talk to that doctor. in case there is any lab that has to be done though, says someone take that is, as i quoting, it being might day to day walk, davis boozing goosey says less than 10 percent of cases requiring in person consult . but when the need arises, doctors can send out an ambulance or ask the patients to come to the company's clinic. the doctor is pleased that his company is taking off, but the sudden surgeon demand for remote health services during the pandemic also posed a challenge. we saw our number of encounters and patients who are serving go by 500 percent within a period of one year. so it also put a lot of stress and strain on us to be able to keep up with the demand that people are now having on what we have seen, even as the put pandemic,

such the sub site is that a lot of people that had that initial experience with rocket hill, tough clinton, you to use tele medicine but for people like deepest music, goosey and just rocket health company. the ideas tested during the pandemic presented a business opportunity and helped expand access to health care gander. staying in africa, we move on to zimbabwe. at the start of the pandemic, the government here bound to the operation of privately owned omnibuses. to help prevent the spread of coven 19. only the statement company could still transport passengers. d w correspondence privilege miss van hearing explains what that's meant for many communities here in zimbabwe is capital herrera. the lines of people waiting for a bus are long. it's been like this for more than 2 years. for student george,

judy city, getting to university every day isn't easy. he asked to get a ticket and to see and still clear of the many pickpocket. 100 word about half very, it's very difficult to get to work on time or to school. vasa. it's very difficult, all of the buses here are expensive from your but even as you can one years dollar a ticket up by no one can afford. that won't be a tool because we don't have that kind of money up in so, so we're waiting for transportation, we can afford what i do. but there isn't much of that. what is the affordable but as what i need to put a ticket? he can't always get to his lectures on time. at the start of the pandemic, the authorities band, private commuter omnibuses, popularly known as comedies, to help contain the spread of coven 19. to no tended jo also lives in the area. he used to be an assistant in a carpentry shop. after the pandemic kid, the transportation shortage made him late for work several times. so he was let go

. now he spends his days by the roadside, hoping to earn a few dollars playing card, games, and billiards. with about $100000.00 jobs were lost due to the ban on comedies. there is little to fill the days for many of the young people who are now out of work. some take drugs to no tend to. joe says that's not for him. he's our wedding. it. i'm a mac as ever. we are in to us dollars betting on games, not enough to live on. good. i why? it's not enough to feed my family. i know i've been a while many moody out about 20000 companies were grounded by the government's ban . many may never go back in operation. what their owners are struggling as are the drivers and other workers who oh, in chatham, whom god used to own for buses. he had to sell 3 of them,

leaving him with just one he can no longer operate. the van on private omnibuses plunged him into poverty. he used to earn at least $240.00 us dollars a day with his operation about it. now he's barely getting by working as a car mechanic amicably, dad, and i know i don't, we have to survive somehow by my, by. i started selling spare parts from my bus. so when someone asked to buy a part, i just disassembled it for my boss and sold it before the pandemic. i used to repair a computer for other owners, but that's over now to and what things are looking up in early may, the authorities yielded to public pressure and denounced plans to allow private companies back on the road. so getting to work on time might soon be a lot easier. again. d w

science correspondent derek williams has been keeping you informed about the latest convey to research this time of year asked what happened to the delta variance? has it been eliminated? bio micron? is delta now gone forever? and what do health care authorities? and scientists think mutated variance of coven 19 have have out competed, and succeeded one another. since the beginning of the pandemic with a key metric and the equation being trans miss ability. alma kron is a lot more infectious than delta and earlier variance were, and other epidemiological factors being equal viruses that are more transmissible than their fears. can al, compete them astonishingly quickly infecting the vulnerable at, at such a rate. that slower variance just don't stand much. the chance we've seen it 3

times already as, as this graphic from, from germany's disease control authority shows up over time. the original virus was replaced almost completely by the alpha variant. remember alpha, which just a few months later, last out to delta, which has now been replaced by our micron. genetic sequencing has turned up almost no delta cases in the country since the end of march. and it's not just in germany, the cdc, and the us also no longer considers delta of variant of concern of there's so little of it circulating that in mid april. it was downgraded to what's called a variant being monitored because authority say delta currently doesn't pose a significant threat to public health there, but the delta variant has not disappeared completely everywhere. in fact,

there are some voices in the research community that think a delta descendant might at some point make a comeback. and in a recent study and israeli team tracking variant genomes and waste water in the city of beer shiva, they've continued to detect delta in small amounts and hypothesized that if it remains at current levels, even if they're very low, then there's a chance that as early as the summer, it could possibly surge again as immunity. wayne's in the population. of course, it's impossible to predict the future, but it does seem pretty unlikely that delta will at some point, really bounce back. and once again, pose the danger world wide that opposed back in in 2021. and just wanna delta's descendants,

does it will likely be so different from its ancestor variant that it'll deserve a designation. all it's all non. oh no, we had to south america. a recent study conducted with support from the german free trade a but foundation shows that 12 of argentina's, richest families got even rich had during the pandemic. while almost every one else ended up poorer. d. w correspondent, alejandro. re blasio has no clue. the suburb of the argentinian capital, buenos iris is home to sociologist or ross, yoko god no, and his family. i know it's breakfast time. names of argentina's richest families make up their morning routine. there's jam by the peggotty company sugar from black

business owners and the average argentinian how nun lecher is director of the argentinian center for political economy, he and his team looked into who and argentina benefited from the pandemic. they found that the biggest prophets went to corporate networks owned by just a few super rich families. she wore sunday philip and amy ayala may for the pandemic in these rich families on $29900000000.00. allen yoshi, that wealth strang slightly at the beginning of the pandemic in uniform. but in february 2021, it was more than $32000000000.00, and a year later, it was $36000000000.00. and in the, in the same in me, chanel is his study, found that following a brief slump, as the pandemic hid these companies raised prices and still sold more. but some here in boyish irish, say, the profit growth of big companies should be kept in perspective. christiane rayos

is an analyst with one of the country's main equity firms. he monitors the share price performance of corporations. in argentina, these share prices are constantly falling and rising. that's because in april 2018, argentina's economy saw dramatic slumber. some companies still haven't recovered. india going logo lecture, angry doesn't of these days. i can't buy me too. while i am from the changes the jobs element, it's only enough awful which i cook for my children. go. i don't cook away. i used to want, this is called everything's got more expensive. felucca meets chicken pastor, right. see they every single, a full if we had a what our ceo. ca god. no, and his family are also suffering from price increases. the pricey ingredients they see on cooking shows are weird, treats the costs of food and clothing have sort since the pandemic so much so that many middle class argentinians are also worried. oh,

a boon for food producers like semen, pharaoh. oh, yeah, i mean, different, i thought it was a huge challenge for us. we had to increase production and for that we needed more capital. of course. yes, but i get a copy that liberal. so then we also had to deal with the financing. i get a po for kayla. scuse me, and we were growing ridiculously fast with kind of especially a discount change like d one or just oh, the window, the places people shopped at most during the condemning. gotta give my life davidic with his company bought new machines and hired more stuff. jose a tensor found a study job here. well, i don't, i think when from in we can make over 2000 and bananas and a shift. it depends on the client's order and the production manager. janet are only 3 shifts we can produce up to $120000.00 per day. that's what i thought of making m panata seems to be a secure business model and colombia with
