a new life after losing her father, with a help of a piano and a cat. in the garden of paradise chilly and all her christiane, our 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 school from the german capital, and passengers crown the chicken counters of easy jet lufthansa and ryan air head berlin's airport. patience is needed at the security checkpoint. before flying off on vacation, you have to do a lot of waiting finish 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 like this is bound to happen as well. so i'm here in a berlin, it's only 3 hours,

but i am silly. i would be concerned if he was 5 hours the waiting times at berlin brandenburg airport are not the worst. at other german airports such as duesseldorf, 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 you leo philmont gamba of the german aviation association. since that the chaos at many german airports is regrettable, but could hardly have been prevented. call when upon the pandemic, suppose major economic challenges to the industry as well. so unfortunately, staff had to be caught up because of and off to 2 years of the pandemic with the demand for air travel has risen dramatically or decor, and then governments lifted restrictions very short notice. so there was no real planning when it came to the race stop law. mr. game. well,

a deviation expert design, tyrene 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 has 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 of the fruit guys can pull it up. there were security checks which all passengers have to pass through manhattan provides, but they failed to hire staff. and this is what happened. circles was o t m. the german government now wants to bring and 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

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 t guns. you see all the crowds here in the halls at some point you need a break um,

but we don't get any opposed, neither from the federal police nor from our employer. i knocked austin of a debug. the passengers are simply being pushed through and there's no real guarantee of aviation security any moore's office kinda looked the hide me of your last it. 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!

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 country's cove at death tal remains astonishingly live . japan didn't implement any strict lock downs. legally the government couldn't do that. instead, will it ask 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 will medical math in public places, off to coffee bar tap, most japanese adhered to the recommended hi. jane. rules avoided lodge gatherings and socially distance. and willingly got coven vaccines to day, or the 80 percent of japan's population is fully vaccinated. yet, despite fairly low case numbers, coven, 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 e c day 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 carpet 19 patients and just turned 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. anybody that's death 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 you that he must, i spoke to staff shortages and hospitals. so the remaining staff had to do more overtime and on your night shift to the got a yeah. think i said if nick kenji chablis,

says the government's response to the pandemic was also hampered by outdated legislation to japanese infectious disease, all which was 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, in bremond testing on tracking the patient. so the medical care system, lack of integration information technology is dis, are became obvious. the government that's amounts plans to create a japanese agency, similar to the u. s. 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

lifestyle, diseases like her base city and diabetes in check remains a priority caused the access to testing back chines. joxer is important, but eventually it is about the people, equity, and a fundamental has services that would be most important to beer as a antagonist and expanded mc here in japan. pandemic fatigue had session 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 or science correspondent? derrick williams has the answers based on the latest research and analysis,

send an email to covey producer at d. w dot com this week for your mohammed, nazi at our crime, wanted to know. did other pandemic end 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 pan dynamics 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

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 in masking and social distancing, really played a role in prevention. researchers think that they helped psalm. busy 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,

they took decades to develop and distribute medications for 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 sars covey to sense the start of the coven 19 pandemic. but here human intervention said played a much bigger role than they did, for instance, during the 1918 flu panda. 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 in 2021, which translates into many more over the course of the entire pandemic. so, so human interventions really do alter the course of panned amex in big fundamental ways of even if they can't shut them down completely. m. covert 19 has claimed an especially large number of lives in peru. camila suarez 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 19. 10 people was sick and isolating in the same apartment. camilla had just turned 18 and had to attend to them all, especially the most vulnerable in the family. fortunately, no one suffered complications except her father and led our number by santa he was a strong man, but he just wasn't very careful in those 1st days, all the mom watcher aniko or ther 50. here he came down, but with a bad cough 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 camille attended to him. but his lungs were failing and he badly needed intensive medical care an alarm wood table and a gum. eventually he ended up on

a cove at isolation ward. we can 9 gone oxygen. yes. as soon as i mean, but he didn't get the same kind of treatment he would have received in intensive care. been there by an a stella by under about him, a 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 where the family couldn't afford upwards of $50000.00 for a hospital stay, but it is 3 days later her father died in a regular hospital bed. yeah, i mean he 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 had saw you just look me in the eyes yet and was practically cheering out alice. uh huh. 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 fatal. as he writes 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 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 cove it within the context of the enormous social inequality here on victoria murphy, one lafayette, or 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, they don't anymore, but we still don't have enough. i see you doctors, but he another name was it, and we still don't have enough staff to attend the needs of our population are

gonna be like he had the a couple of young camilla suarez wishes. that parade had begun vaccinating sooner than her father might still be here. she's traumatized by her loss. has panic attacks and how to interrupt her 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 and thought, camilla suarez has 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 wave 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 lia door about how to build physical and mental resilience in on certain times.

as hard always done, thanks for joining us. thank. thanks for having me. we're hum store. we keep hoping that the pandemic is finally over, but then the next wave hits and we're worried about the new variant volume about me . 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 too much. so and how do we keep it all together? just him out. is there? yes. is that resilience is a really popular topic right now. there's a lot of interest in it, but the, and that's likely to do with the fact that so many people of stress and a feeling all these various crises, somehow you, on whether it's a subtle anees, or worry, or anxiety of new log in the ang when van making not matter, isn't easy. michigan's either in absolutely in psychology, we differentiate between individual and collective resilience. we do ela again through to buy supplies. individual is looking at what's helped you through

difficult situations in the past. deploy from go to ward like exercise, or seeing friends and family more often, a good call from her or the big lighting. thus, those are methods of individual resilience with one when after and while collective resilience is when we become more resilient as a society, it was there to be that, for example, by having certain structures to live within that make us feel comfortable and secure. who will be on such a few and when you train resilience and you want that, that is a fun from a psychological standpoint. it helps when you know that there's something you can do that kind of tune as all like, wearing a mask to protect yourself or do it. no, mustn't google long. do you live? gosh. and something that makes sense to you. that seems like a good idea. what as i, as the 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 number one's a writer, their name, and on that instant pandemic, we've been observing others much more critically. why aren't they wearing their

masks? probably? why aren't they wearing 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 get through the pandemic without living under constant stress? had that wash tests are seen. as of your hm heard from ones that say this is an uncertain situation, claudius, it's unclear how things will continue a for the next few months. what things will be like by fall and often one, 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 as a 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. who warned us late over the emergence by lighter shield to wine. when clean it's similar with the climate change can that him and that can be conflict when people encounter each other. you deal with

a crisis in such different way as environment and what could help i think that might be to look at how to communicate effectively despite getting it to sean, be taught them live would require money cuts your mobile. yes. the market does fav . i'm suffering from this stress that we've been talking about, i guess, and i realized that i can't cope with that alone. what do i do? they didn't, can, owned, fast manage done as a negative practice. why there were basically 2 factors dark. the 1st is how strong are the symptoms? how stressed out? do you feel compress by smith, by others 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 several weeks or perhaps even months and your usual coping mechanisms aren't working or you're under a high level of psychological stress, lied when i recommend at least getting counseling min with my buttons lesson like i'd like to have that we can't solve everything with individual resilience methods,

ethnic. i listen interview and again for fun who isn't as a public problems we're facing a so great that something also needs to change politically under these mental health needs to be taken much more seriously and 2nd longer to come finish. thank a pleasure. thank you, lou, and now we travel to argentina where we visit she leon reiter, christiane ala con, in his garden pits, his personal paradise and the perfect place to write a 1st novel. when calvin came to argentina in march 2020 christiane anna 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, 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

and vegetables, which i'd never done before. the familiar local, municipal, and the garden enabled me to experiment. and in the process, discover how nature's clockworks really your mind and body adapt to the circadian rhythms which are connected to the natural day and night cycle, beginning at sunrise and ending with sunset tone like i you adapt to how the day breathe. sylvia with some help from antonio, a paraguayan gardener, the writer and journalist set about creating his own garden of eden. he also began writing his 1st work of fiction on the 3rd paradise. on the book ended up winning this here is alpha, gotta novel price. one of the leading awards in the spanish language literary world about the miss him it deal and, and no way lashona put in the, the pandemic just naturally flowed into the novel a communes ha, it wasn't a subject i'd intended to write about. the novel begins with the idea of creating

a guard you a paradise, a fenced in and protected chair rejoined, while em delving into the memory of my own family plan in southern chile, me a c estoppel sent me know is a while. the pandemic is present in my novel if it's not as much a theme in 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 clock in 40 l. 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,

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 muscle 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 set in 1970. so given that concept, what's the opening sci fi we end 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 how we live cabo got miss.
