8:39 am
a little bit insecure. her we like since tourism was coming back to more foreigners morocco's opened the borders loudly drew her. yeah. or people from all over the world. so we're yeah, so i've read from another wave of, of it. i had him, neural any new surgeon infections would also hit the roughly 2 and a half 1000000. traditional crafts people here at the start of the pandemic. some felt it was unfair that the tourism sector was given higher priority when it came to government handouts aimed at safeguarding jobs. but they to recognize that their income depends on a healthy tourism industry. and how the tourists feel about traveling. are they worried about a new wave of infections? album, mother isn't. i don't think people have had all 3 shots need to worry. okay, so yeah, i think covered 19 is here to stay and we'll keep spreading from just another

8:45 am
a passion for detail that i haven't found anywhere else. and they have especially good customer service. kimberly you talk to real people, that's what sets them apart on orlando. there are 70 independent publishers in columbia. they're little known among the general public. but during lockdown they posted record sales, publisher ed guy blanco thinks that's down to their flexibility in his as he could . ok. we're always struggling actually. we're always trying to reach our readers in different ways and in this and then his empathy, right. so in the totally unexpected hammond the global pandemic, we will prepare a until now and then that mean our job, easier in his brit alcohol going up on the regular oil books from these independent publishers give a platform to new voices on the colombian literature scene. but during lockdown, customers couldn't browse in bookstores. sales mostly happened through social media

8:49 am
bathroom was a huge undertaker. i arrived completely exhausted, a shower, sitting down in bed. i still have days where a shower sitting down because of exhaustion era. her partner takes care of most of the housework. although myra has made a good recovery, she still needs help with many every day tasks. her breakfast consists of a cocktail of drugs and she's by no means the only one. at least she has a partner to help. many in mexico feel left alone with their problems. says are medina also has long covered after losing both his job and his partner? he set up his self help group or more nautical monique air. no one's talking about these things about what can happen, and so your family partner, friends and others, and start to feel skeptical. so and think you just imagining a dinner element, what is good of that could be assessing, been down below group on facebook now has 6000 members. although an estimated
8:50 am
1600000 people in mexico are suffering from long covert. the government has not made any funds available for examinations or treatment, says amadine as group works to raise awareness of the problem, particularly among government officials and departments. medical doctor giorgio fine uti believes that the apparent lack of interest among politicians has more to do with the health service, not having the capacity to deal with the problem. eric, one or 3rd law, see all of these patients really need to be referred to the relevant health care systems and they've been but those institutions, they just aren't in a position to deal with all the problems that arise from this illness goes a line for them either mexico's public health institutions say they have treated 878000 people for post coded problems and have
8:51 am
a 188 facilities that offer comprehensive rehabilitation. psychologist marta lopez who takes care of long covert patients, assured us that multi disciplinary medical teams have been created as well as online therapy to target the problem about their, their, at their grad, a mask. one thought that valley apart from providing more medical consultation with these types of patients, if a long covert rehabilitation courses have also been carried out, all that kinda spicy causes are accessible to all your patients can simply join in from home. well, the next day that i saw the course of but the government is still refusing to recognise long covered as an illness. that means that public health bodies can't write patients of sick. myra has no health to be closer to the university where she lexus and psychology. even so the one our daily commute, combined with the teaching is tough. it's 3 times
8:52 am
a strenuous for her as it would be for a healthy person. and the strain is exacerbating her symptoms when not islam is not, but it's a little you're no longer the same person and that's hard to understand and to cope with it each day a fresh sized because you know, your life wasn't like this before. but that during the sickness and everything suddenly changed like you like and now you can no longer live without hope from others. oh, do you have a question about the corona virus assigns, edited derek williams, gives you the latest research and analysis. sent derrick and emailed. i writing to cover producer at d. w dot com this week, his answering this question from seth underwood. oh, is the pandemic now claiming only as many lives as a bad flu season? oh, a lot of experts hate comparing influenza to cove. it because it paints the current
8:53 am
epidemiological picture with a very broad brush and because there are so many vague factors involved in trying to nail down the data, starting with the fact that reporting on cobra 19 mortality has been really spotty in many places and, and complicated by factors like light, clear attribution after all, just because someone is testing positive for the corona virus, when they die, it doesn't necessarily mean the virus is what killed them, especially if their elderly patients. um, similar problems apply to defining flu mortality. many of its victims aren't killed directly by infections with the viruses that cause influenza. but instead by the pneumonia that getting flu can lead to okay, i got at least some of the car, the outs out of the way. and you all know now how much gas work is involved,
8:54 am
but let's see if we can come up with some kind of an answer to your question. based on the data that we do have to start with flow mortality according to the world health organization in the years leading up to the pandemic. influenza killed between 29650000 people annually. and really bad years. therefore, around 650000 people died of it. now cove, it, i added up the w h o statistics for weekly corona virus, deaths in 2022 and came up with around 850000 for the 1st 6 months of this year. if you double bad for the fall calendar year, then it would add up to a prediction of around $1700000.00 deaths due to coven in 2022. so roughly 3 times as many as
8:55 am
a really bad year for flu. this is of course, over simplified and kind of cheating because cobra 19 waves are, are dynamic and they're ongoing and they're unpredictable. um, you might have noticed on that graph, for instance, that the most recent statistics show the global death count from the disease is currently lower than at any other time since the beginning of the pandemic. since last april, cobra has only been killing between around 10017000 people world wide every week. it's a positive trans that is at least partly due to higher levels of immunity and populations due to vaccination, previous infection or both. but. but even if that positive trend were to hold steady in the future,
8:56 am
we'd still be looking at the corona virus causing at least as many annual deaths as the number attributed to flew in a really severe outlier year. and probably more, boom in the next program will show you how school children from around the world are getting back to school of student teachers and parents. prepare until then. bye bye. ah ah, with
