a new life after losing her father, with a help of a piano and a cat. in the garden of paradise, chile, an author, christiano law con, has written a novel on a possible future after the pandemic. but 1st to germany, many people wanted to take to the air again. but airport chaos is keeping them grounded. summer break has begun for schools in the german capital, and passengers crown the chicken counters of easy jet lufthansa and ryan air at berlin's airport. patience is needed at the security checkpoint. before flying off on vacation, you have to do a lot of waiting babies because they're low on staff from what i hear. and they seem unprepared to what i did enough. if after 2 years of not flying, a lot of people have been laid off or are looking for another job than something
12:32 am
like this is bound to happen when it was so up. here in a berlin, it's only ab 3 hours, but said silly, i would be concerned if he was fargo's the waiting times at berlin brandenburg airport or not the worst. and other german airports such as dusseldorf, it's not uncommon to have waiting times of up to 5 or 6 hours before the security check. and it's been like that for weeks eulley, a full man gamba of the german aviation association. since that the chaos at many german airports is regrettable, but could hardly have been prevented. the call went up on india pandemic supposed major economic challenges to the industry as well. so unfortunately, staff had to be caught up because of, and after 2 years of the pandemic, the demand for air travel has risen dramatically, or decor, and then governments lifted restrictions very short notice of us. so there was no real planning when it came to the race start law. mr. game, well, a vh,
12:33 am
an expert who's i taught him, sees things quite differently. the verde trade union secretary looks after employees of the private service companies that carry out security checks at dusseldorf. airport, he says that in the past 2 years of the pandemic, the companies have simply fired many employees. and now they're too few workers. the star, the state which is responsible for this task is passed it on to private security companies and they want to make money. they're not social welfare organizations. i've been, they save money by keeping staffing levels low on the puzzle. now we have a major staff shortage, especially in passenger control. in the fuqua's component of there were security checks which all passengers have to pass through manhattan resign, but they've failed to hire staff. and this is what happens. so also, sodium, the german government now wants to bring in thousands of workers from abroad, who would fill in wherever there's a staff shortage. the problem is that anyone who works on the apron where aircraft
12:34 am
are handled or at the security, checkpoints must be screened. the official mandatory background check can take up to 10 weeks and that's not all spend boggling of the verde trade union warned months ago of chaos at the airports. even filling staff shortages with foreign workers won't be able to stop it in time. if you that had fallen workers are not a solution for the security checks themselves as workers need very extensive training to be deployed there. the employees from 3rd countries won't be helping in those areas. by then summer vacation will be over. so for the time being airports are not likely to see any relief and a german airport security employee tells us that the constant stress for the staff is having dramatic consequences. he wishes to remain anonymous mazetti guns. you
12:35 am
see all the crowds here in the halls at some point you need a break on, but we don't get any opposed. neither from the federal police nor from our employer . i knocked austin of it. even the passengers are simply being pushed through is yeah, and there's no real guarantee of aviation security. any moore's office kinda lost the job mega viola that germany's biggest airline lufthansa has canceled about 3000 flights this summer due to poor ground handling. british airways has had to cancel $10000.00 the repercussions of the failed airport personnel policy during the pandemic are now being felt across europe. japan was one of the last countries to lift entry restrictions for taurus back in june, 2022. for more than 2 years, the japanese have had their country to themselves. coven 19 infection numbers. there are surprisingly low. why is that? v b m are also reports from tokyo. sh!
12:36 am
at 1st glance, japan would seem to be a country that's quite vulnerable to coven 19. it has one of the world's oldest populations in it says he's a densely populated. yet the countries cove at death tal remains astonishingly like japan didn't implement any strict lock downs. legally the government couldn't do that. instead, and all it asked citizens to voluntarily change their behavior with. and the majority complied. that was one of japan's great strengths in its pandemic. responsible, even prior to this pandemic, many people in japan will medical math in public places. off to coven burrow town, most japanese adhered to the recommended hygiene roles, avoided large gatherings and socially distance. and they willingly got coven vaccines. to day are the 80 percent of japan's population is fully vaccinated. yet despite fairly low case numbers, coven,
12:37 am
19 stretch to pans health care system to its limits. even though japan has the highest number of hospital beds per capita, or among o a se, date hunt praise, there are a few intensive care beds. the health care sector is largely privatized. many small hospitals lack the staff and resources to deal with cobra 19 patients. and just turn them away. state run, the hospitals couldn't entirely compensate for this deficit. so many patients died a lauren at home, even before the pandemic, japan hospitals, short staffed, despite the relatively low number of carbon patients work has suffered from stress and burn out. at the height of the pandemic nurses working in the hospitals caught cove, it became close contact, so they weren't able to work with you very much lead to staff shortages and hospitals. so the remaining staff had to do more over time and on your night shift . so i think i see this next kenji chablis says the government's response to the
12:38 am
pandemic was also hampered by outdated legislation. the japanese effects of disease all which was set 120 years ago. why not? this was not necessary updated property. so there is disruption between public health and medical house camico care in terms of implement the testing and tracking the patient. so the medical care system lack of integration information technologies. these became obvious to government that amounts plans to create a japanese agency, similar to the us centers for disease control and prevention with an aim to streamlining bureaucracy. it also planned to revise legislation to ensure greater provision of hospital beds and more universal access to medical care keeping
12:39 am
lifestyle, diseases like her bay city and diabetes in check remains a priority caused the access to 10 staying back scenes, docks. ha ha. is important, but eventually it is about the people, equity on the fundamental ah, how services got, who'd be most important to be resilient harris the next on the mic here in japan. pandemic fatigue had settin mobility data shows a steady rise in people ignoring government appeals to avoid large crowds in future, relying on a compliant public might not be enough. do you have any questions about coven? 19 our science correspondent derek williams has the answers. based on the latest
12:40 am
research and analysis, send an email to covey producer at d. w dot com this week for your mohammed nazi, or our crime wanted to know. did other pandemic and through human intervention, or does each have to run its own course? every pandemic is different, while the measures that we employ to combat them have a wide range of impacts depending among other factors on how a pathogen is transmitted and, and how infectious a particular disease is, or how infectious that becomes. so comparing one pandemic to another is kind of apples and oranges to illustrate what i mean. let's look at a couple of band amex and how they are course was affected by human intervention, starting with what's viewed as the most severe one in recent history. the 1918 flu
12:41 am
pandemic. back then, there were no vaccines to prevent infection with the disease and no medicines to free debt. so only mitigation measures, like quarantines, and masking and social distancing. really played a role in prevention. researchers think that they helped some, but they weren't applied universally, and the pandemic was a devastating one. it only subsided after about 3 years, and it killed at least 50000000 people. let's compare that to h. i. v. aids, a modern pandemic that's now been going on for decades. it's a very different disease from influenza, not only because of how it transmits of course, but also because the pathogen that causes it persists in the body. so h, i v can't be cured, it can only be managed that took decades to develop and distribute medications for
12:42 am
that and, and even today, not everyone who needs treatment has access there's, there's still no vaccine against h i v. so, prevention efforts, focus on education and, and diagnosis. those interventions have helped drive down the number of deaths and new infections and the last decade. but according to the w, h o, a round one and a half 1000000 new infections with h, i v still occur every year, and it still kills an estimated 680000 people annually to compare again, that's around the total number of deaths in brazil directly attributed to stars covey to sense the start of the coven 19 pandemic. but here human interventions have played a much bigger role than they did, for instance,
12:43 am
during the 1918 flu pandemic. it's really impossible to say exactly how many lives have been saved by measures like, like lock downs or, or masking. but there's no question that it's a huge number. on the other hand, researchers have taken a stab at estimating how many lives have been saved by vaccines. so far. no. one recent study calculated, they prevented at least 15000000 deaths in 2021, which translates into many more over the course of the entire pandemic. so, so human interventions really do alter the course of hand amex in big fundamental ways of even if they can't shut them down completely. m cove, it 19 has claimed an especially large number of lives in peru. camila suarez has
12:44 am
family was also affected during the pandemic. she took care of her family members, but now she needs help herself. in february 2021, camilla suarez is entire family came down with cove at 19. 10 people was sick and isolating in the same apartment. camilla had just turned 18 and had to attend to the mall, especially the most vulnerable in the family. fortunately, no one suffered complications except her father. and then our number by santa he was a strong man, but it just wasn't very careful in those 1st days though, mom will chair on a go or ther 50. here he came down with a bad cough and be a saw at the set of math 10 days into his illness. pablo suarez could no longer speak or get out of bed. a doctor gave them advice and camilla attended to him. but his lungs were failing and he badly needed intensive medical care and along with
12:45 am
tail and a gum. eventually he ended up on a cove in isolation ward, we had not gone oxygen. yes, i said, i mean, but he didn't get the same kind of treatment and he would have received an intensive care been there by an a stella, by under about him, a horrible me in the 2nd corona virus waived, peruse, house cast system was overburdened camilla says, there were only 11 intensive cab ads for cove at patients when the family couldn't afford upwards of $50000.00 for a hospital stay, but it's 3 days later her father died in a regular hospital bed yard. i'm in a hurry. i was at least able to give him pain medication, had uploaded a lot, a and i told him he don't worry. i'll stay here and won't leave you alone. you're not the lawyer. i'll tell you just look me in the eyes he had and was practically cheering up. oh, i love somehow because he'd already resigned himself. if thou gl model, i think now what happened to pablo suarez is not unusual in peru, the country with the highest cove. it infection pe,
12:46 am
tell us he right in the world. doctor says i monica of perused. national center for epidemiology says that's not only due to deficits in the health care system, such as a shortage of intensive cap ads and oxygen. ist upon them merrily at the, instead of one pandemic, we've actually had several here because we've had outbreaks of several different diseases. not just cove it within the context of the enormous social inequality here on victoria murphy wonder c i o perry had its 1st registered cove. it case in march 2020 soon. hospitals like the via el salvador were overflowing. that's changed also due to peruse vaccination program. the cove. it exposed the weaknesses in the countries health care system and cannot be done. the hospital has definitely improved what? oh, they don't anymore, but we still don't have enough. i see you. doctors are younger than animals. and we still don't have enough staff to attend the needs of our population are gonna be
12:47 am
like the idea. couple nephew on camilla suarez wishes that peru had begun vaccinating sooner than her father might still be here. she is traumatized by her loss. has panic attacks and how to interrupt us studies. is that the k, if the narrow neck together, what i need is a psychiatrist, i psychologist, who can help me cope with my depression and anxiety. and yet, i feel like a lost little girl now that my father's gone but a good me, but by an hour, camilla suarez is life has been forever changed by the pandemic. but she's trying to find a way to put the pieces back together. the pandemic effects at all and with every new wave of infections or hope that one day it could be over is shuttered again. d w reporter hung assure and li talks to psychologist leah dorm
12:48 am
about how to build physical and mental resilience in on certain times. if ha domains, dom, thanks for joining us. thank. thanks for having me. we'll have still, we keep hoping that the pandemic is finally over, but then the next wave hits and we're worried about the new variable lion very. and then there's also the war and new crane that will come in and the climate crisis. yeah, that is a certain point. it gets to in march. so under how do we keep it all together? just him out. is there yet just had resilience as a really popular topic right now, there's a lot of interest in it. what the hell, and that's likely to do with the fact that so many people are stress and a feeling all these various crises, somehow increase you on whether it's a subtle anees, or worry or anxiety, i often log in their own and van making that better isn't easy michigan's either than absolutely. in psychology we differentiate between individual and collective resilience. we do ela, look again through about 5 individual is looking at what's helped you through
12:49 am
difficult situations in the past. deploy from glad ward like exercise, or seen friends and family more often. mm. hm, yeah, you're good for from her order there gliding thus, those, the methods of individual resilience with $11.00 of the and while collective resilience is when we become more resilient as a society, i was there to be there, for example, by having certain structures to live with them that make us feel comfortable and secure, who will be on such a few and when you train resilience and new concepts, this is a fun from a psychological standpoint to help us when you know that there's something you can do with kind of tune as or like wearing a mass to protect yourself or do it new muscles rig along to gush. something that makes sense to you that seems like a good idea what as i stood or it can be about making decisions for yourself or with your family. i know for me about your surroundings and how you behave regarding things like protective measures, mid century, must now on the writer their name and all that in the pandemic. we've been
12:50 am
observing others much more critically. why aren't they wearing their masks? probably? why aren't they? where one at all, even though it's mandatory, why aren't they social distancing options, but what is a healthy thought process he gets rid of hand amy, without living under constant stress, had dashed as steen as of your ham, her from 130. this is an uncertain situation club. yes, it's unclear how things will continue for the next few months. what things will be like by fall going off on and people react to this kind of uncertainty and very different ways. as with the, i'm the again, from about some people immersed themselves and information and want to read everything about earlier than most, not the writer and, and, and then there's the other option, which we're seeing more often after 2 years of pandemic. it's not ever thought that people get so tired of all the information that they don't really want to be well informed any more than here that's denying that they'd rather just brush the topic aside. won't fly off the emerald uber by lighter shield. wine, when clean it's similar with climate change can that him and that can be conflict
12:51 am
when people encounter each other. he deal with a crisis in such different way as environment treatment and what could help i think that might be to look at how to communicate effectively despite that is to shown be taught similar to commonly cuts your nucleus. the market does fav. i'm suffering from this stress that we've been talking about i again and i realize that i can't cope with that alone. what do i do there to can, can, owned, fast manage done as a negative. practiced by there are basically 2 factors back. the 1st is how strong are the symptoms, how stressed out, do you feel accomplished by speech, by other strong feelings of anxiety that you can't really come down from van selected. you don't want a horn current, but it's further order. and how long have they been there? and for i think they've continued for several weeks or perhaps even months and your usual coping mechanisms aren't working. or you're under a high level of psychological stress. like with i recommend at least getting counseling with men with my brighten to lesson on black. and i'd like to add that
12:52 am
we can't solve everything with individual resilience methods ethnic. i left my individual in one of the, again, 500. and as you probably problems were facing a so great that something also needs to change politically and under mental house needs to be taken much more seriously and 2nd longer to come finish. thank egg. a pleasure. thank you. oh and now we travel to argentina where we visit she lee and reiter christiane allah con in his god. and it's his personal paradise. and the perfect place to write a 1st novel when colvin came to argentina in march 2020 christiane r khan had just finish work on his weekend cottage. an hour's drive from buenos aires, eager to escape the lockdown in the city. he made this his home. oh a i needed a place where i didn't feel so confined to that thought there were 2000 square meters of land here. plenty of space for growing fruits and vegetables,

12:54 am
creating a guard you a paradise, a fenced in and protected chair adjoining while em delving into the memory of my own family clan in southern chile, m u c. it up at st. and me know he, so while the pandemic is present in my novel, if it's not as much as female itself as a way of imagining the future more a leprosy really that deal bins. i mean to fl duda alarcon presented his new book at an event, marking the 10th anniversary of anthea an online magazine. he himself founded argentine actor clocking for a yell when excerpts from the 3rd paradise. to imagine a garden is to submit yourself to a new consciousness of the steps i will take will be determined by the land air light that water and time the event turned into one big party. even though argentina was going through a 4th covered wave at the time, though cases have now started to fall. still the pandemic has left its mark,
12:55 am
not only on daily life by some people psyche to epa damien. as to the pandemic brings us closer to the idea of mortality, and makes us more existential money it confronts us with the message. you can die to morrow might be your last day. so our actions are no longer so innocent. suddenly we become aware that we're only passing through this world multi path and then we're sometimes more careful. sometimes more chance. obviously muhsin denzel's on weekdays, alarcon leaves his little paradise on earth and drives to the university and nearby la plata. here he teaches students how to write a novel using his own book as an example, if you, we, of a scene sat in 1970. so given that concept, what's the opening scene in phoebe and up on the me, the pandemic taught us the transient nature of relationships. but we're also willing to make new connections which nurture us. that has an impact on society and
