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 and that one, we figured out that we needed to redesign a solution that really solves a lot of these problems like long waiting times or the coastal 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
12:38 pm
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 posed 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 contacts. he does give you some formal protection because you're not, you and your plant are not in that you're not sharing the same space. so you can
12:39 pm
have people stick where they are. and you have this one other doctor that i had 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 bit of it's late,
12:40 pm
2 to 3 hours, went broke and killed. i'm want to make that coil. i'll talk to that doctor. in case there is any love that has to be done. they'll say someone take that is, as i continued 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's 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 patience was having 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 heavy on. what we are seeing, even as the post pandemic, such the sub site is that
12:41 pm
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. in uganda. staying in africa, we move on to zimbabwe. at the start of the pandemic, the government he had 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 correspondent cripple. age must fan here, he 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. her student george,
12:42 pm
to the city, getting to university every day isn't easy. he asked to get a ticket and to see and steer clear of the many pickpocket. what i'm wondering about that. it's very difficult to get to work on time or to school. vasa, it's very difficult. all of the buses here expensive. hm. yeah. but even if you can one years dollar ticket up, no one can afford that won't be a well 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 or what is the affordable, but as why i need got 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 where he used to be an assistant in a carpentry shop. after the pandemic hit, the transportation shortage made him late for work several times. so he was let go
12:43 pm
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 yet. you already make them up as ever. we are in to us dollars betting on game, and it's 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 babylift. their owners are struggling as are the drivers and other workers. oh, oh. oh, in chatty, i'm honda used to own for buses. he had to sell 3 of them,
12:44 pm
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. how did you let him 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 boss. 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
12:45 pm
convey to research. this time of you, i asked what happened to the delta variance? has it been eliminated by omicron? 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 on the chron is a lot more infectious than delta and earlier variance were, and other epidemiological factors being equal viruses that are more transmissible than their peers. can al, compete them astonishingly quickly infecting the vulnerable at, at such a re, that slower variance just don't stand much of a chance. and we've seen it 3 times already as, as this graphic from,
12:46 pm
from germany's disease control authority shows um, 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. and genetic sequencing has turned off almost no delta cases in the country since the end of march. and it's not just in germany. the cdc in the us also no longer considers delta of variant of concern on 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,
12:47 pm
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 in 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 this 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 burrell of wine, that opposed back and in 2021. and if one of delta's descendants does,
12:48 pm
it will likely be so different from its ancestor variant that it'll deserve a designation. all it's all gone. oh, now we had to south america. a recent study conducted with support from the german free trade. a bad 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 moved the suburb of the argentinian capital. buenos aires is home to sociologist or ross, yoko garduno, and his family of its breakfast time. names of argentina's richest families make up their morning routine. there's jammed by the peggotty company, sugar from black here. their cable services come from nope,
