oh, really knows. welcome to tech told me about hackers and paralyzed me to your societies computers than elsewhere. you and governments that go crazy for your data. we explain how these technologies work, how they can go across and for a group. but how they can also go terribly what you know on you to ah, did a neighborhood volunteer group in madrid. many spaniards ran errands and organized food for those in need during the pandemic. they were honored by the e u parliament for their efforts. welcome to the cave in 90 in special

report long cove. it can lead to severe mental health problems. we talked to psychiatrist leo share about just how severe and why . class, how dangerous is the so called twin demick, a single tiniest wave of coven 19 and influenza infections? and can it be prevented? but 1st, we visit a group of graffiti artists in zimbabwe. damn murals! tell the stories of women and girls during the pandemic. at the studio in zimbabwe capital herrera graffiti artists are working on concepts to help stimulate debate on social issues made worse by the pandemic. oh, after their focuses on problems affecting women and girls,

they 1st visualized their ideas with sketches on paper and on the computer before they said to work on the murals or as in san every imagination of our future and re imagination of our contemporary life. and also i'm going back to ox, additional knowledge systems, you know, and there's been a lot of getting the comp time to realize that. and they, we, we, we took halves, we took conclusions that were used like, like, 200 is ago the 100 is ago that have been passed down through that through generation. so that showed us the importance of traditional knowledge system. the graffiti artists have been painting murals on the streets of some of her are, is poorest neighborhoods. their imagery incorporates the faces of influential women . the hope is to inspire young women and girls who have been negatively affected by

the pandemic. in zimbabwe, the number of teen pregnancies rose sharply during the lockdown. over 4000 girls did not return to school. when they reopened in early 2021 girls and women's rights advocates say the arts are an effective way to communicate and to spark change. based on the learnings and experiences with head out from 1219, the needs to be a concerted investment in developing messages that are relevant thread messages that i informed by experience and evidence message is that hi me as the power of the us both the visual and performing arts to propel messages around goals writes out to propel messages that ensure the protection of girls to also are put forward messages i regarding sexual into productive health rights and information.

the pandemic is also shaped. zimbabwe is urban street culture through the fashion collective fabric party. young people are exploring issues around identity that took a back seat during the pandemic. that in the core with he said down hell, but enough time to look into the internet and see what's going on. so we'll call, bless ourselves and let's face. it was yes or i'm not. but now after that leg, oddly identify or how do we create an identity for the law? winston cosa fabric party is developed into an art movement that brings together graffiti artists and fashion designers to explore new possibilities for collaboration. when people spend 2 years log down, when missed that elemental or common, it's an element of by a can collaborate and work as a quality of people who is to do that because it did it online. but soon after

carving trib warren is the importance of all of what i should learn connected with . at the height of the pandemic, the artists raised awareness of coven 19 by painting murals, encouraging people to follow health regulations like wearing masks and social distancing. they drew on the star power of influencers, who they painted wearing masks, the artists planned to keep working with the concept to spark conversations about what humanity can learn from the pandemic. o respiratory infections increased dramatically during the cold season. ringback that was even tree before the curtain of iris appeared on the scene. influenza virus, in particular, can lead to severe illness. together with the rising number of caves, 19 infections experts, a warning of the so called twin demick. but it's possible to take preventive measures. hm,

the global number of new infections and deaths due to cov, at 19, has studied since the end of august for the past several months. the v. a for and be a 5 on the chron sub variance have driven most new cases. but scientists say a number of worrisome new subtypes are also fueling the pandemic in the us, but also other places. they include 3 types that together now account for around $1.00 and $7.00 newly reported cases there in europe. a lineage detected 1st in asia has grown and prominence in the u. k, which has a top notch surveillance system. experts are tracking the possible rise of still others. and indian scientists and authorities across the globe are chasing data on a troublesome variant dubbed x b, b and singapore estimate show it could now be causing over half of all cases

as we come in to the winter time. now we are starting to see further increases in sales, curvy to activity, and so, and part of that is being driven obviously by these different omicron variance and another infection as compound and concerns the flu. earlier in the pandemic measures that slowed the spread of the corona virus also helped people avoid getting infected with other pathogens, like those causing the flu, influenza, and the next ask her the to is a respiratory infection. so the measures that will put in place to reduce covey transmission also impacted influenza transmission. so when we reduced our mixing with people when we reduced our international travel, that also reduced the ability of influenza to spread. but as the urgency of the pandemic subsides and measures relax, flu cases are also rising again. both diseases pose

a particular threat to groups like the elderly, or people with underlying health conditions and also to health care workers. though they may not be elevated risk of severe disease if they fall sick, then they're also increases absenteeism from work which has important implications and for the workforce in its ability to the health care system to operate. and of course, there's also potential risks that some health care workers can, in fact their patients as well. in an effort to head off the worrisome scenario of a twin demick during the upcoming winter healthcare authorities from the world health organization and other institutions are now spreading. a simple message, timely vaccination against both diseases can save lives. so far along cove, it has been associated primarily with extreme exhaustion and physical pain. that

research is also wanting. if hidden risks, more and more sufferers are experiencing depression and even suicidal thoughts. we talked to psychiatrist leo sure about the development. however, for sure can long of an increased risk of suicide. is there any data or evidence to support this that i know it be done? now logical data is support again, eli between long corporate and however many fields of long call it, i actually say that was to find out behavior. for example, many people get along with a depressed it hadn't been that suggested that at least 50000000 people at least 50000000 people around the world. i mean, as long as it developed depression and didn't know as a depression is associated with suicide on behavior. how might long covered lead to

suicide of thought? many studies over many years have shown as a physical pain, the suicidal behavior. it depends on an individual perceptions, some people who has pretty serious chronic pain and not suicidal while from relatively mild and may become suicide. know also add people with lung call it frequently have cognitive impairments and many studies have shown is it coordinated impairments. i so say that the 5 l b a could also be related to new logical changes from the brain out to recover infection. is that correct injections that call the wireless ne and use your inflammation and inflammation in the brain. and it may affect more behavior and obviously of physical house.

so yes is a, is that is an a year. is a long cord with problems. i feel like you're a biologist called changes in the brain. in other words, cause it may as for a lot of course, it may have and your biological basis. so what does all of this mean for policy makers? what needs to be done to address the situation? first, i want to generate more research needs to be data. it is possible that long or it is not really one disease. it's not really one condition, it may be a group of magic felt illness. it is very possible, obviously, policy makers need to make sure that it always long for it and get an appropriate medical help. and obviously the logical help. thank you. if you

in the corona virus pandemic, and the ukraine will have made it clear how crisis prone global traders supply chains collapsing while transport costs are rising dramatically. as a result, more and more companies are bringing back home production that was previously outsourced to other countries like china. the offshoring of past decades is turning into near shoring. as these 2 examples from argentina and straight in december 2020, between the 1st and the 2nd wave of cov, 19 the american giant whirlpool and its president for latin america. the brazilians, while carlos breaker, decided to set up a washing machine factory in argentina and export from there after a 20 year hiatus. the plant was inaugurated this october con local. should you, me to the up and with the emergence of the pandemic it has. and with the political

repercussions that we are facing today, as a need to make sure that the supply chain will not be broken if something happens far away or has increased also lack adina, this minister for the past few decades. the phenomenon of offshoring took place by which industries from america migrated to china. during the pandemic, there was a shortage of freight. and with the war who became more expensive, the new buzzword is near shoring. an opportunity has opened up for those manufacturing nearby. not they'll do the discipline, i have no doubts about that. so should i look, but to do this, we also have to generate not just productions, but knowledge. st. louis, stuff by man. factoring here in argentina is that we are bringing knowledge potential what they sell this house. competitiveness is traded. see us competitive . does eda is not only about cause it's is meant to put coastal whirlpool had just $160.00 employees in argentina. now there are $500.00. the company invested

$52000000.00 to produce $300000.00 washing machines a year and exports 70 per cent to brazil, and the rest to south america. it is also reinforced its presence in mexico to supply the united states. quite a few argentine companies are taking advantage of near shoring, like ceramics, albert, he, it's owner martin. rob aline says that between 2019 and today it is. quinn, toppled its exports to chile, bolivia, paraguay, and uruguay. their plasm afforded them and we have pushed hard on chinese and european products here with some targeting lower value products. and europe targeting higher value ones a little up and under a lot of road to them are short on that de la, both the war and the pandemic had a big impact on the increase in logistics costs and also on inflation. because they've been lame, flashy on. according to wrap aline, european ceramic companies have doubled the production costs due to the increase in

energy prices. gina, a, china has had an impact that the greatest impact has been on the logistics level. the containers that were around $2000.00 before the pandemic. now, cars $20000.00 to $25000.00. prices have dropped again. but they're still much more expensive. but as you, but while it would your mccarrow latin american countries with some industrial development like mexico, brazil and argentina can take advantage of export opportunities in a region traditionally focused on the extraction of raw materials. be economist in university professor leandro mora, i phone scene, analyzes the phenomenon of near shoring, little legal viewed as a reconfiguration of global value chain, only, whether it be near showing or friends showing a started before the pandemic case. what did the pandemic do? was it accelerated, everything because there was an increase in demand post pandemic. one that supply

chains were not prepared to respond to more often seen. so to study by the inter american development bank that confirms that latin america could replace 10 percent of chinese exports to america, argentina must reduce its 83 percent inflation. but despite everything, whirlpool believes in its new factory. but they also hope that the cost of freight drops after the pandemic. i'm done with stuff on the field, but it's not yet at pre pandemic levels on los angeles. but it's not at the peak like it was during the pandemic beetle meant the market has restrictions and don't, and the restrictions are very harsh was produced. and that is why investment in your shoring is continuing to accelerate. yesterday august, the pandemic is still having an effect on the global economy. oh, do you have any questions about k? the 19. are science correspondence? derek williams has fiance's based on the latest research and analysis. right to k,

the producer, d dubey to come this week? he answers the question, does the data show that natural immunity is stronger than vaccination? oh, in berlin, at least it seems like every one and their mother currently either. has coven 19, has just had it, or expects to have it soon, regardless of their immune status. i personally know people who've been vaccinated for times who subsequently tested positive for the virus. and i also know people who have the disease to or even 3 times, even people who are up to date on their vaccination, some alma chron sub variance are simply really, really infectious. and the fact that cove at 19 is so widespread in so many places has made it impossible to provide simple answers to questions like whether natural

immunity is stronger than vaccination. after all, most of us in 2022 now have our own long, highly personal history with sars covey. 2 and the vaccines that were developed to fight it. but even in the past, it was hard to know, nailed down and compare the power of immune responses. some studies conducted mostly during the delta era, suggested that disease induced immunity was more powerful against that variant than vaccine induced immunity was. but there were others that found just the opposite. um, there were also one showing that the 2 were roughly comparable. the rule of thumb before on a cron swept end was sort of that being infected was roughly equivalent to

a single dose of vaccine. but since it hit last winter, those variables have changed. the average person and many parts of the globe, well by now knowingly or unknowingly, likely have been exposed to our micron and it's family of sub variance repeatedly. it sounds unclear, i know, but there are things that the experts do pretty much all agree on. one is that attaining some level of prior immunity to coven 19, whether it's through vaccination, or, or through infection? that that reduces the chances that you'll catch it in the near future or catch it again in the near future, as the case may be. a 2nd. is that if you do get coven 19 after previous exposure or vaccination, then it's a lot less likely to be severe. i'm number 3. is that most

experts say that people who've been both vaccinated and infected. so what's called hybrid immunity, that they in general exhibit more durable and more potent levels of immune protection. and. and finally, there's one last point where the pros agree, any prior am unity. they say whether it's gained through infection or gain through vaccination, will provide some future protection from severe outcomes. m making face mask, some protective clothing, collecting food and distributing it to those in need. volunteers from the neighborhood association. so most people in madrid, len to hand wherever they would need it. during the pandemic and created a social network, the association received an award from the

e parliament for it's what we went to meet some of the volunteers a familiar walk for leah on yet to morale as she makes her way into her neighborhood association during lockdown. paula meadows became the headquarters for locals, who rally together to help their fellow neighbors. why does he go above? they created an organization called so most 3, bul. we are tribe. and as i f, as i don't, but he has a feel we began by coordinating all the help that was needed and our neighborhood went out such as shopping for vulnerable, elderly people are going to, the pharmacy are walking their paths. one day a company contacted us and said that they had a batch of dairy products that they couldn't use. look at a, they asked if we wanted them, and we said yes, bring them over. okay. you know, back they did it by and then we distributed the milk and yogurt and saw on the face

. yes. yeah. come on the 1st thought. julio came to so much 3 blue every morning to help out before going to work. as a lab technician in the gregorio madeline yarn hospital at the height of the pandemic, them out and yawn was overflowing with more than 1100 covered patients with hundreds more turning up every day. look in my mind, what impressed me was the silence umbrella. the manion hospital is normally allowed and lively place, always bustling with activity. but during the pandemic, it was his client as a cemetery. and there was a kind of horror we'd never experienced before. even many people were deeply affected by what happened then. and still our bucket. oh, i worked in the emergency unit and we go, we didn't have enough face masks when the pandemic hit a mockery. yes, there just wasn't enough material for them. yeah. but again, that november 30th, another founding member of so most 3 bo is out to the anna pup. she decided to act

after hearing of shortages of face masks and protect of clothing for health and essential workers. i mean, i will select florida. yep. i've always loved sewing of all, so i found some tutorials and how to make face masks. e mail post. this was our last i, when i used my daughter's bed sheets to make them go, what were they saw now? the 1st person who lawson for him ask was a bus driver told them if they did that for me, the money. that's when i started an, an est gdc most a little boy. they watch that. i set up a what sat group of women who knew how to say, what, as best we got in touch with health workers who didn't have masks and gowns and got to work. i get going up what he was manners hallowed out. if we made these masks the fruits salads and grocery store workers. hm. and after that he, us a, is that these were nice for young people, the initial quote. we made these ones with cartoon characters for children or whatever. and lots of kids had a hard time understanding what was going on. like when i woke up ira adriano wasn't scared, even though she delivered masks to people working in miss central services. but if

he, if a doctor became sick, many people would suffer thousands nearly. so i didn't think about myself didn't pull up until one of the most important aids provided was the distribution of food to the elderly, struggling with locked down. and families unable to go out because they had come down with coven 19. i can landra hagi, denny. i'm a westhal owner. ask reba plenty boa. coordinated all the food that was packaged and sent out from palomares. people look at the network. what uniform. hm. you know, condemn the few events you had cause for food to feed was home. here's where we set up, laid back in the salon. this time either there was a free stan will often i for did here and over. there was rice, lentils, things like that. all along, and there has it. oh, oh, i bring cbs diverse. be prepared more than 8 tea food baskets a day for families. well, that's a lot we have you ever lucas? and did, of course the whole apartment buildings had come down with coven 10 with ariana. we

left the food at the main entrance and the residence handed it out. we couldn't go inside. oh, did he people's homes. so we left the ferry to their front door. them well then we called them to say we brought the food have i'm or you fellow or only contact with people was by phone. the name of on that the question for us everything. a final, as taco bell is for, these are the flyers. we 1st made with phone numbers on them when we put them in our cars, say that the police wouldn't finance for breaking, locked down the highlight for so most 3 bu was receiving the european citizen award from the european parliament. it is say last. no. russell's gave us the award and though you can read about it online, i learned last year in march, members of the european parliament came to a park near by to give us their recognition on monday that they were. and in november we went to brussels to collect our reward on every corner from yandell,

while it's almost to be blue no longer exists. it's legacy lives on in other groups that serve smaller neighborhoods. in the vi, eastern district of madrid, the center at palo, mad us is a resource that supports vulnerable women, but they still distribute food to the elderly and help people who are suffering the impact of long covert. so that's it for today. see you next week on the coven 19 special, till then stay healthy. mm hm. ah, with
