5:31 am
a young woman tries to build a new life. after losing her father was a help of a piano and a cat in the garden of paradise chilly and all her christiana con, has written a novel on a possible future after the pandemic. ah, 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. they dispense their 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
5:32 am
like this is bound to happen as well, so here in a berlin it's only 3 hours, but i am silly. i would be concerned if you was fargo's the waiting times at berlin brandenburg airport are 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 just equal when upon in japan, demi, i suppose, 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 at very short notice of us. so there was no real planning when it came to the race stop law. mr. game of all,
5:33 am
avi asian expert who's antonini sees things quite differently. the very 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 that we have a major staff shortage, especially in passenger control and of course can pull it up. there were security checks which all passengers have to pass through manhattan resign, but they failed to hire staff. and this is what happens. and also tim, 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
5:34 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 decide foreign 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 munsey
5:35 am
t guns. you 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 know switching of a debug, the passengers are simply being pushed through and there's no real guarantee of aviation security any more as others kinda lost the hide me of your last it. germany's biggest airline lufthansa has cancelled 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 covered 19 infection numbers. there are surprisingly low. why is that? phoebe m are also reports from tokyo.
5:36 am
sh. at 1st glance, japan would seem to be a country that's quite vulnerable to cove at 19. it has one of the world's oldest populations in it says he's a densely populated. yet the country's cove at death tal remains astonishingly live . japan didn't implement any strict locked downs. legally the government couldn't do that. instead, and all it asked citizens to voluntarily change their behavior was 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 were medical math in public places, off to coffee breakout, most japanese adhered to the recommended hi, enrolls avoided large gatherings and socially distance. and they willingly got coven vaccines. today, over 80 percent of japan's population is fully vaccinated. yet despite fairly low case numbers,
5:37 am
coven 19 stretch to pants health care system to its limits. even though japan has the highest number of hospital beds per capita, or among o e c d countries, there are few intensive care beds. the health care sector is largely privatized. many small hospitals lack the staff and resources to deal with coping 19 patients. and just turn them away. state run hospitals couldn't entirely compensate for this deficit. so many patients died a lauren at harm. even before the pandemic, japan's hospitals were short staffed. despite the relatively low number of carbon patients work has suffered from stress and burn out. that he's been enough there that the height of the pandemic nurses working in the hospitals caught covered or became close contacts as well. so they weren't able to work with local united, must just lead to staff shortages and hospitals. so the remaining staff had to do more overtime and on your night schiffer. so they got a young guy sid. if net kenji chablis,
5:38 am
says the government's response to the pandemic was also hampered by outdated legislation to japanese infectious disease or ritual set. 120 years ago, one not this was not necessary updated properly. so the ease disruption between public health and medical house medical care in terms of improvement, a testing and tracking the patient. so the medical care system, lack of integration information technologies, dis, ah, what became obvious the government, that's amount plans to create a japanese agency, similar to the u. s. centers for disease control and prevention with an aim to streamlining its bureaucracy. it also plans to revise legislation to ensure greater provision of hospital beds and more universal access to medical care keeping
5:39 am
lifestyle. diseases like obesity and diabetes in check remains a priority. of course, to access to testing back scenes drugs. 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 august and expanding mc here in japan. pandemic fatigue had set in 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? are science correspondent derek williams has the answers. based on the latest
5:40 am
research and analysis, send an email to covey producer at d, w dot com this week for your mohammed nazi, or our cr. i'm 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 calms. so comparing one pandemic to another is kind of apple, an oranges to illustrate what i mean. let's look at a couple of band amex and how their course was affected by human intervention, starting with what's viewed as the most severe one in recent history. the 1918 flu
5:41 am
pandemic. back then, there were no vaccines to prevent infection with the disease and no medicines to treat it. so only mitigation measures like quarantines, and masking and social distancing. really played a role in prevention. researchers think that they helped psalm, 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,
5:42 am
it took decades to develop and distribute medications for that and, and even to day, 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 sars covey to sense the start of the coven 19 pandemic. but here, human intervention said played a much bigger role than they did,
5:43 am
for instance, 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 vaccine. so far. no one recent study calculated, they prevented at least 15000000 deaths and 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, even if they can't shut them down completely gone cove, it 19 has claimed and especially large number of lives in peru. camila suarez,
5:44 am
has 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 1910 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. i lay down on my son that he was a strong man, but he just wasn't very careful in those 1st day. so though mom was just gonna go arthur 50 here, he came down with a bad cough and be a saw at the set of math. 10 days into his own this 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
5:45 am
tayo on a gun, eventually he ended up on a coven isolation ward. we can 9 gone oxygen as often as i mean, but he didn't get the same kind of treatment and he would have received an intensive care been there by an estella bryant alabama. horrible. in the 2nd corona virus waived, peruse, house cast system was overburdened. camilla says there were only 11 intensive cab adds for covert patients, but 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 applied 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 way i have saw you just look me in the eyes he had and was practically cheering out oliver 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 at infection pay tell us he right in the world. doctor says monica
5:46 am
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 is still pending merrily at the instead of one pandemic. we've actually had several here because we've had outbreaks of several different diseases, not just the cove it within the context of the enormous social inequality here. or if you wanna see i know purine 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, but cove. it exposed the weaknesses in the countries health care system and cannot be done. the hospital has definitely improved what, oh, bigger island 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
5:47 am
our population. i called last year the a couple of nephew on camilla suarez wishes that peru had begun vaccinating sooner than her father might still be here. she is traumatized by her loss as panic attacks and how to interrupt her studies. mm hm. okay. if the narrowness 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 put by an thought camillus. whereas his life has been forever changed by the pandemic. but she's trying to find a way to put the pieces back together. the pandemic affects us all and with every new way of, of infections and our hope that one day it could be over is shuttered again. d w reporter hung assure and li talks to psychologist leah dole about how to build
5:48 am
physical and mental resilience in uncertain times as had always done thanks for joining us. thank. thanks for having me. what we keep hoping that the panoramic 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 in new crane that will come in and the climate crisis. yeah, that is a certain point. it gets to march, so man the how do we keep it altogether? just him out is there yet? that resilience is a really popular topic right now. there's a lot of interest in it, but this early, and that's likely to do with the fact that so many people of stress and a feeling all these various crises, somehow goof run. whether it's a subtle anees, or worry, or anxiety of missouri in the ang when van making not better, isn't easy. michigan's either in the pacific. in psychology, we differentiate between individual and collective resilience. ela victor again throughout with 5 individual is looking at what's helped you through difficult
5:49 am
situations in the past. deploy from gloat ward like exercise or seen friends and family more often. mm hm. mm. yeah, good call from her order there gliding. thus, those are methods of individual resilience with 11 after 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 ian, i'm on said this is a fun from a psychological standpoint, helps when you know that there's something you can do with kind of tune as or like, wearing a mass into protect yourself or do it new muscles, google long to gush something that makes sense to you? that seems like a good idea. what are those doors 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 in mid century must nam on. so vita, their name and on. since the pandemic we've been observing others much more
5:50 am
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 so shall, didn't sing options, but what is a healthy thought process to gets rid of hand. emily, without living under constant stress, had dashed as stan, as of your hammer from wounds that say this is an uncertain situation, claudius, it's unclear how things will continue for the next few months. what things will be like by fall and often on that, and people react to this kind of uncertainty and very different ways. as with the, i'm the, again, from, might be 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 rather with what people get so tired of all the information that they don't really want to be well informed any more than here that night that they'd rather just brush the topic aside. who warned us late over the him early by later she'll to one. when clean similar with the climate change can that him and that can be conflict when people
5:51 am
encounter each other. he deal with a crisis in such different way as environment is increasing and what could help i think that might be to look at how to communicate effectively despite dang it, to shower. he taught them liberal to com when he cuts your mobile. yes, the market does faith, i'm suffering from this stress that we've been talking about. i can and i realized that i can't cope with, let alone. what do i do? they didn't can aunt fast manage done as a negative? practiced by there were basically 2 factors. dark, the 1st is how strong are the symptoms? how stressed out? do you feel accomplish by smith, by other strong feelings of anxiety that you can't really come down from any select if you don't want a horn current, but it's visor order and how long have they been there and for i think they've continued for sound weeks or perhaps even months and your usual coping mechanisms aren't working or you're under a high level of psychological stress, like one of i recommend at least getting counseling from in with my brighten to lesson on black. i'd like to have that we can't solve everything with individual
5:52 am
resilience methods ethnic. i left my interview and one of the, again, 500 and as were the public problems were facing us so great that something also needs to change politically and under the men house needs to be taken much more seriously and 2nd longer to come finish. thank j. a pleasure. thank you. oh and now we travel to argentina where we visit, she lee and reiter christiane ala kahn in his garden. it's his personal paradise and the perfect place to write a 1st novel. when colvin came to argentina in march 2020 christiane ana khan had just finish work on his weekend cottage, an hours drive from buenos i race, eager to escape the lockdown in the city. he made this his home angel a i needed a place where i didn't feel so confined to that, that there were 2000 square meters of land here. plenty of space for growing fruits

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, me a c it up at st. and me know is a 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 lapaul. she really, that there been some beautiful doodle 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,
5:55 am
not only on daily life by some people psyche to leper damien. as 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 and chance always. it must be 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 have a scene set in 1970. so given that concept, what's the opening? cnn, cbs, up on the me, the pan demik 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
