finding it difficult, he sees his successes and in a weekly coven 19 special. next on d. w. as you go to use is to thought they will gray you over a neighborhood volunteer group and 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 cove at 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 teeniest wave of coven 19 and influenza infections. and can it be prevented? but 1st we visit a group of graffiti artists in zimbabwe. them 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. after their focuses on problems affecting women and girls,

they 1st visualized their ideas with sketches on paper and on the computer before they set to work on the murals or us in san every imagination of our future and re imagination of our contemporary life. and also i'm going back to our traditional 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 years leg leg. ringback 200 years ago, the general is a good that have been passed down through the through generation. so that showed us on 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 causes 19, the needs to be a concerted investment in developing messages that are relevant threat 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 right out to propel messages that ensure the protection of girls to also are put forward messages. i've had guardian 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 so as going on. so we'll call, bless ourselves in his face. it was yes that i am known by now. after that lead out, we identify our dual credit i attended for is above winston kosa 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 community in element with way can call up on it and work as a quality of people is to do that through covered and did it online. but soon after

coffee people realize the importance of all up what i soon learned collective with . at the height of the pandemic, the artists raised awareness of covert 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 like the artists plan 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. that was even tree before the curtain of iris appeared on the scene. the influenza virus in particular can lead to severe illness. together with the rising number of caves, 19 infections x, that's 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 coven 19 has studied since the end of august. for the past several months. the be a for and be a 5 am across 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 into 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 compounding 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 reduce 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. although 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, this is also potential risks that some health co workers can infect 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, long 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 it increased of risk as to the side. is there any data or evidence to support this that i know if you don't know, logical data is support again, eli between long core it however many feeling sums of long corporate eyes. this extra, if a say that was to find out behavior. but example, many people get along with a depressed. it had been suggested that at least 50000000 people at least 50000000 people around the world. i mean long it developed depression and didn't know the depression is associated with suicide on behavior. how my long covered lead side of

thought. many studies over many years, had shown as a physical pain, lit the suicidal behavior. it depends on an individual perceptions. some people who had pretty serious chronic pain and not suicidal, while some is relatively mild and may become suicide. know also as people with long call it frequently has called me give him parents. and many studies have shown zip code. and if impairments eyes the day that they find, they'll be a, could it also related to new logical changes in the brain after recovered infection? is that projection is that, is it called 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 course with problems. i feel like it to and your biological changes in the brain. and i have what's called it may add port, a lot of corporate may have and you're a biological basis. so what does all of this mean for policy makers? what needs to be done to address the situation? first, i would suggest that more research needs to be better. it is possible that long or it is not really one disease when it's not really one condition, it may be a group of medical illnesses. it is very possible. obviously, policy makers need to make sure that it's always long for it and get an appropriate medical help. and obviously the logical help. thank you. and if you,

with the corona virus pandemic, and the ukraine war have made it clear how crisis preowned 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 coven 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,

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, la cardeana, 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. see, should i look? but to do this, we also have to generate not just productions, but knowledge. sandra asked us by menu factoring here in argentina is that we are bringing knowledge potential. what they sal, this is health competitiveness is created. see us competitive does either 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 percent 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, alberta, it's owner martin ra bellini says that between 2019 and today it is. quinn toppled its exports to chile, bolivia, paraguay, and uruguay. their blossom afforded him. we have pushed hard on chinese and european products with some targeting lower valued products, and europe targeting higher value one's a little by up and under a law of wrote to them a shorter one on that de la. it was 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 rap illini, european ceramics companies have doubled the production costs due to the increase

in energy prices. gina, in 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 mccardle 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 local. it is all legal viewed as a reconfiguration of global value chain, only, whether it be near showing or french 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 the newest on any of your papers are not yet at pre pandemic levels, or marcellus but it's not at the peak like it was during the pandemic bit all over the market restrictions and thoughts and the restrictions are very harsh to sporty . so can 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? derrick williams has fiances, based on the latest research and analysis. right,

to k, the producer di 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've had the disease too, 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, birth, sars, covey, 2 and the vaccines that were developed to fight it. but even in the past, it was hard to nail down and, and compare the power of immune responses. some studies conducted mostly during the delta era, jested 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 our micron 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 om akron and its 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 a 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 in fact had. 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 community, they say whether it's gained through infection or gain through vaccination, will provide some future protection from severe outcomes. am making face mask some protective clothing collecting food and distributing it to those in need. volunteers from the neighborhood association, so must table, and madrid lent a hand wherever they would need it. during the pandemic and created a social network,

the association received an award from the parliament for its work. we went to meet some of the volunteers of familiar walk fo julio on yet to morrow, and she makes her way into her neighbourhood association. during lockdown, paula meadows became the headquarters for locals, who rally together to help their fellow neighbors. why the above. they created an organization called so most 3 bu we our tribe. and as i, as i don't believe people are, we began by coordinating all the help that was needed in our neighborhood, such as shopping for vulnerable, elderly people are going to the pharmacy or walking their pets. 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. you know, back they did buffy. and then we distributed the milk and yogurt and saw on another

face. yes. yeah. come on, beth's 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 diana pop. 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 stood up and 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 you know what they saw. now the 1st person who lasted for a mask was a bus driver that i made. they did the promethean, right? that's when i started an, an s t i e. c. most a little boy. they watch that. i set up a whatsapp group of women who knew how to say as best we got in touch with health workers who didn't have masks and gowns and got to work. and i get going up what he was manners, hello of it. if we made these masks the free sellers and grocery store workers, our home, and i thought 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. a lot of kids had a hard time understanding what was going on. like when i woke up our, our to be on no, wasn't scared. even though she delivered masks to people working in miss central

services. that of who, if her doctor became sick, many people would suffer thousands nearly. so i didn't think about myself getting color than tell. 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 covert 19. again. landra hagi, denny m. a postal owner ask reba ponti boa coordinated all the food that was packaged and sent out from palomares. look at the new quote uniform. hm. you had often done the few events you had cause brought food to be was home. here's where we set up, laid back in the fall on the cell either there was a free stan will often i for did here and over. there was rice, lentils, things like that, all alone in there. has it. oh, oh i been phoebe a diverse we prepared more than 8 tea food baskets a day for families with that's a lot we have you ever lucas and therapist the whole apartment buildings had come

down with cove it and with her again, we left the food at the main entrance and the residence handed it out. we couldn't go inside. oh did he people's hands so we left the ferry to their front door. them well then we called them to say we brought the food to buy more. yes. hello. our only contact with people was by phone, the name of on that the county for us, everything a file has 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 almost 3 bu was receiving the european citizen award from the european parliament it or say last no, russell is 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. or by 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 met 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
