we're finding it difficult. exceeds his successes in a weekly coven 19th special next on d w. ah, oh. what people have to say matters to us? ah, that's why we listen to their stories. reporter every weekend on d. w. o . o. after being canceled for 2 years in a row, the world's largest beer festival is back. welcome to the coven, 19 special. everyone here at unix octoberfest knows they could easily get infected

with the corona virus. you can't always tell if someone's got it. and that's the focus of our show this week. what percentage of coven 19 cases are asymptomatic? but 1st, let's hear moses miss sherry's cove. it's story. oh for it was scattered and the fact that i had to wait from 7 am to 3 am. then at the corridor ojo boxes and must see someone who has died for you to get a space going to the same bed. oh, scared the lord. so not make it almost this machinery. i live in a row. be a head cook 19. it does june. in 2020. i realize i was not feeling what i thought was just a normal flu. had difficulties in breathing. could note it. my wife suggested the

good to of any hospital and they did the coffee. the death of the test also did not get a bit. unfortunately the someone died. i was there though, i moved all of the switch deal and i got a space i was put on my selection room realizes coffee, who had the mass in charge, head to the foot, actually before covered dick in 20 years. we vote that being to hospital, that was my 1st time actually to be admitted and treated of serious. i didn't have any other complication. but after the treatment i realized became allergic to called called and called me from there. once i was discharged, i was told to isolate for 10 days, every thing that i'm using only me so i could only communicate through the phone.

everyone has cared at home, but the good one was infected. my wife had to start walking to pick of me because i was not able to it, it took like 5 weeks, i was declared coffee, free must feel of the way towards you can get infected. but i believe i will not any term in i'm in public. oh, really do my mosque. i have to sanitize those vaccine. it ends the 1st and the 2nd vaccination i had done the insurance cover, but who knows, discharge? they said they were not cover. so it was a shock for me to have a huge bill. i had to take a loan. i'm here to recover from their financials. i went through in care. now the government has put in places where you have to do mosque in public places. and if any position, honestly the helping,

but i don't think they're enough because they're not for loads. strictly, especially with the, the people who are, who never got the coffee. they don't know the way to feet. they assume they're not followed to the let me are the time now system coded 900 studies that have been hitting the headlines today. i want to look at another one of those studies where you read the title and go what impaired kito genesis ties metabolism to t cell dysfunction incorporate 19 just stick with me for a 2nd though, because the researchers at the university of bon, where the work took place also published an easy to understand article on what it's all about. it's titled covered 19 new energy for flagging immune cells. immune

cells do not receive sufficient suitable energy carriers in infected individuals. oh, much better, right? the research is hope the results can help. so one of the many mysteries surrounding cove it 19, why do some people get much sicker than others? but 1st things 1st. when you catch other bucks like the flu, it changes your metabolism. because when you get sick, you often lose your appetite. and if you don't eat enough, your body starts burning its fat reserves. that process produces molecules called ketone bodies which are rich in energy. they fill the gap left when carbohydrates run out. one ketone body is called beta hydroxybutyrate or li edge b for short. b h

b act as an alternative carbon source and can compensate for amino acid deficiencies promoting t cell survival in humans and mice that we'd from one of the studies authors hints at another purpose. ketone bodies have they play an extremely important role in immune system function. both t helper cells and t killer cells need the energy rich molecules to perform the key tasks. and there lies the wrap. the research is found that people with moderate to severe cases of covet 19 didn't seem to be pumping up ketone production. in them, the vital immune system cells might be starved of energy and less able to attack the virus effectively. so maybe that's at least part of the reason they develop a more serious case of the disease. the good news is that this kind of immune deficit can potentially be addressed by eating the right foods. it kito genic,

diet, one that's heavy on fats and light on carbohydrates, helped improve immune response and kept the virus and check, at least in lab mice, where the research has found a correlation between diet and disease progression. ah, ah, in the last 20 years old child and maternal mortality rates have been steadily falling at one international study shows that the global pandemic may have reversed these gains. ah! my downs and curfews have been a hallmark of the coven 19 pandemic. that has stamp worker is going to work. it is

also kept people from urgently seeking health care. scientists wanted to find out how changes in the usage of health care facilities likely impacted the number of deaths of women due to child birth and of children. under age 5. their research took in data for more than 800000 health care centers in 18, low and lower middle income countries. so the authors found that in these 18 countries, on the whole, the use of healthcare services related to maternal and child care declined. and they estimated that this has repercussions of mortality. so there are estimating that child and maternal mortality would have risen ah, as a result. another factor behind this rise is economic hardship after job losses caused by the pandemic. not being able to afford transport means not being able to get to the hospital, but the nature of maternal complications during childhood can be such that if you don't access scare within an hour or 2 window,

you might die from his babies and children can be similarly vulnerable the research published in p l. o. s. medicine estimated between march 2020 and june 2021. the number of children dying aged under 5 could have risen by 3.6 percent. oh, wow. scientists say that such a loss of life can be avoided if the lessons are learned from the coven 19 pandemic . in my mind, i keep asking how is it possible that people on the committees deciding about lock downs, forgot best. women give birth? 24 hour 7, and there are some section of society that really cannot wait even one hour to get to are essential healthcare. but some countries showed more positive ways to deal with difficulty accessing health care during the pandemic. one of the

very nice examples was that when, when the a strict lockdown was put in place in uganda and hospitals were starting to see the effects of this lockdown in both ways the staff and the patient's not being able to get there on time. they communicated directly with the ministry of health and with the national authorities to gain exceptions and to and to get information out there to enable midwives, nurses, doctors, as well as pregnant and, and pregnant women and sick children to be able to access care on time without delay good communication can boost health care. attendance midwives could make use of the fact that they have pregnant women's contact details during pregnancy and call them on the phone to explain any necessary changes to care o. changes at government level may also help prevent excess deaths due to a lack of access to health care. a centralized approach from

a health agency to give the same guidelines to the hospitals, all at once about how to deal with women in labor right from the start of an outbreak would also encourage trust and attendance. some positive outcomes from the pandemic. running water and hand washing facilities and maternity wards have increased a number. there is no one quick fix to prevent a repeat of the excess and preventable deaths during the covered 19 pandemic. but planning for the next emergency should at least try oh, it's the world's largest fear festival and lasts over 2 weeks. organizes of this year's oktoberfest are expecting millions of visitors from around the world. and none of them will be required to wear a mask. the risks of catching cove it are high, but it's not pitching any one else. oh,

these munich residents aren't afraid of cove it. they've known each other since kindergarden and enjoy being together during the oktoberfest. joking, talking and drinking friends who figured out life together from exams and broken hearts to corona, virus and lockdown is everyone here. bucks and i did wearable box and i did ring terrible. it's fine. we just want to have fun wrong just like everyone else here. after a 2 year corona virus breaks some 6000000 people from around the world are expected in munich to celebrate the world's most famous festival. like this group, they'd come all the way from california. oh,

i bring los angeles and i come every year in waco, they did, i was devastated. so i'm, i'm happy that i'm back. are you great? that was with no, there's worse events that pizza, that feel like this is fine. i feel safe. i don't feel weird. i don't feel like i have to put my mask on. i feel ok. i hope it's not regardless who you ask or where they're from. most people here feel the same. the risk is relatively low. despite the crowds. as long as they attested, vaccinated all recovered people here, feel safe retested before we came out and were real expensive negative because our heads have a good time. everyone already got the coroner. we have a super super amy doesn't with up we have 4 of

antibodies. know can care clod shores, probably a super spring or event. we never know, but are we supposed to stay in ball? was it that we still want to go out and celebrate? well, no, not i don't johnny, my flyer. good. no, i'm not afraid. i am very happy with the high and joy. i laugh. i love at the hotel the fest. some 2 in 100 randomly selected these and visitors tested positive for cove at 19. so those planning to visit the bees and we will have to accept a high risk of infection. ah. but the risk of catching coven 19 with serious complications is very low. according to freedom and gephardt from the technical university of munich,

he's already looking forward to visiting the visa. this is, it's not a motto of, i'm going the october 1st and i'm not worried at all. for 3 reasons. one very i'm the only crime variant is a virus that rarely causes serious illness. and on the other hand, we have a population that's mostly been vaccinated, one place at the same time, a large part of the population has already had contact with a virus. so there's a lot of immunity out there already. for those who don't have any risk of serious infection, they can go to the diesel and not worry. so there isn't can come. that includes the more than $13000.00 people keeping the festival running. people like stephanie spend, she's making a traditional dish called kaiser schmidt. how worried is she about catching cove at 19 me on my midday,

but i amazed somewhere in the middle. i hope we all stay healthy and we don't lose any business. and that everything runs well until october, 4th, it knocked over with the inside or outside. nobody's wearing a mask. covert tests are recommended, but they're not mandatory. it's also been recommended that people who belong to various high risk groups get a booster. but some people have their own take on ema posted, the boys have a positive attitude made that's the most important thing. so sky, don't worry about the flu, or corona virus tells me it's impossible to eradicate off. just look ahead and drink a nice glass of beer, sal, and some liquor to oysters, pure nature in it. you can't tell if someone is sick just by looking at them. doctors are expecting higher infection rates, but without the serious consequences that plug up hospital base, at least that's how it was at other festivals,

like the ones in the bavarian towns of horse and hind and paulding. let's have it's the same at this. he is of top of his knee. do you have any questions about k, the 19 ah, science correspondence, derek williams is here to answer them. just send your questions to covey producer at g w dot com on this week. he answers the question, what does the nature state are free about how many asymptomatic cases there are? oh, this question was a real conundrum. earlier in the pandemic, and a lot of scientists spend a lot of time trying to figure out percentages of asymptomatic cases back during 2020. and also during the alpha and the delta days, the estimates they came up with varied pretty widely. but some of the most

convincing studies hypothesized that somewhere around a 3rd of all people who tested positive for the disease developed either very mild symptoms or none at all. a symptomatic patients were an interesting path of research to pursue back that because most of us were still on the same page in immunological terms. we hadn't been exposed and, and learning why some people didn't manifest any symptoms after exposure. it was thought could spur new treatments and therapies. but there's a big difference between then and now of the world is moved on. we now have going on 2 years of vaccination programs and almost a year of on the chrome wave behind us. over 12 and a half 1000000000 doses of vaccines have been given and over 600000000 cases of the disease have been confirmed with

a whole lot more unconfirmed. in many places on the planet, health care authority say, most of the population has now been exposed and we're still, i think, a long way away from any declarations that the corona virus can be considered endemic, rather than pandemic. but experts now say that broader immunity, due to repeated encounters with the disease, and immune protection from vaccines, that they've helped lower the number of deaths and people with serious disease from highs last winter. and although it's almost impossible to nail down really firm data at this point, a lot of doctors believe that those factors have also pretty dramatically increased the number of asymptomatic cases out there. um, in other words, after recovering from the disease, when people get it again,

experts think they'll in general, be somewhat less likely to develop noticeable symptoms, especially if they've been vaccinated as well. um, the problem is the on the chron variant is incredibly infectious. so asymptomatic people can still transmit the disease even if they don't notice having it themselves. um, studies now indicate that in the current covered paradigm, asymptomatic people are seeding half or even more of all new cases. so even if plenty of people are now shaking off infection quickly, they're still often passing it on to others, which will continue to prolong the pandemic in the near future. ah, donated blood is essential for patients whose lives depend on blood transfusions.

but it can only be stored for up to $42.00 days and artificial block continues to be hot to make in many parts of the world that has now a serious blood supply shortage on the east african country of uganda is particularly hard hit. uganda and hospitals are experiencing an unprecedented blood shortage. many patients are waiting in vain for urgently needed transfusions. i see persons who puckett leukemia. i see persons who have been bleeding underneath that particular product or the chronic lifted. it is hot breaking. you

have preference, child hood bags because they are living. it's not a good experience at the national blood bank. authorities blame the blood scarcity on the cove at 19 locked downs. bullshit. new. everyone's, it was, was uganda had a blood shortfall before the pandemic. i repeat that one's for hepatitis b by us, which legacy last, the shortage was worse and when schools and universities had to close for almost 2 years, 17 is the minimum age for blood donors. uganda and students make up over 85 percent of voluntary donors, donating blood at centralized school clubs and medical camps at universities. with these close during locked downs, mobilizing the public to donate blood became

a challenge would gladly meet our target and we were advised was be does reserve only blood for you my this is only and leave the operations. so the vicious that needed your position said to wait law downs extended to public transport, which added to the problem says had been gone. i could go see since that he had to use his special privileges as a senior government official to enter a donation center. was even if you're, you're in covered or locked down that doesn't so we will from getting sick. oh my resident ever doing but where'd they get it? if ever would it cannot come off. so for us,

a few of us will go to more than we heard the option of moving to this place. donated the little we can well mobile as to whether so on with this. im getting the sometimes to us a little tricky. but with hospital struggling to catch up with medical procedures that had been postponed during the pandemic. blood remains scarce even now that lock downs have been lifted with less than $450000.00 units of safe blood collected annually. uganda is below the world health organization recommendation, which requires at least one percent of a country's population to donate blood we made done no day yesterday, yesterday but to one. we came to day not only to hello with his death and the good as the weight took city hours. so i'd be here and wait for the blood.

you come expecting you may be and we'll see you. but do you ratio in your mind? that is, that us be doing in the blood. and those in the lab have been amazed. and that is joe you. how gotcha, and how, what dick, where those bit according to the w. h. o, the pandemic lead to a 30 percent drop and blood supply globally blunt banks are trying to encourage more people to become donors and also appealing to people who already do so to give more blood even more frequently. so ah, dash will be back next week with another my cove. it story

justice lea at the bow from dana tells us how doctors wrongly diagnosed him with typhus back in february 2021 after they finally diagnosed him with k v. 19. it took him another month to recover. fortunately, he's not suffered any long term health problems. see you next week, and until then goodbye in stay healthy. ah ah, with

who in britain, happiness isn't national go. it's lay down in the concentration and if even measure for the gross national happiness index. but how does one of the poorest countries in the world keep up in hampton?

we take a look at the malaysian kingdom on its way to medicare medicaid with happiness. in 15 minutes on d, w to the point and strong opinions, clear positions, international perspectives, job referendums, annexation, so the large construction draw vladimir putin is trying to salvage his special military operation or protests are increasing and thousands of russians are playing on to the point we discuss, is russia finally turning to the point with on d w. a . she's got any issues with all say what grade for

me when you work as an architect, go online or not at all. women in architecture. why are they so invisible to the larger publisher? we decided to ask them and women go up with the inefficient model. if they can't identify with certain professions about their guiding principles. and what is the poetry, the secret of the houses and i'm home about their motivations. architecture does so much to you. it moves you the end goal of architecture is to create habit for human, about their struggles and dreams. class sponsibility is huge. they have so much to

lose. shattering the glass ceiling women in architecture. this has to be really, really can start september 30th on d, w. ah ah ah, this is dw slide from berlin, russia prepared to formerly attics for regions of ukraine on friday. bosco says it will incorporate the regions which voted in so called referendums. the stage is being set for an annexation ceremony in.
