2020 china reports the 1st known death from the illness. by now, authorities believe the virus originated in a seafood market in wu hun, and most probably jumped from a wild animal to a human. the rest is history. the corona virus pandemic went on to suite the world . it won't be the last pandemic in risk of infection that can cause potentially lasting damage to the heart. lungs and brain could be a new normal. is that only a matter of time before the next pandemic strikes coming up on in good shape? mm. with the 19 has infected well over 600000000 people so far, and that's only the official me. but well,

some people have barely any symptom divine. it can be life threatening to the elderly and chronically ill. young people are more likely to get out lightly, but the panoramic has affected them in other ways. locked downs, quarantines close schools and millions of kids and teenagers has to stay home today screens. the last few years of taking, they told me kevin can finally play basketball again before the pandemic. he spent most of his free time after school on the court. what about devon? it was a simple goth i do. i have is i sit around stuff like that, hang on your friends, they boyfriends like these kids right here. and you know, stuff like that. but from one day to the next life changed locked downs,

curfews school shut down, sports facilities, closed even hoops removed to make sure nobody played for me. it was rudo because like i said, i didn't really know. i know was like a table as a right. i didn't my knowledge on like activities was home low, so i was miserable in the house. that was home alone. most of the time i was out work. no 16 hour shift. a little boring. the only thing i really want to know was my dog at the time, books and games. kevin's mother is a single parent. she worked in a nearby hospital during the pandemic. she had very little time to take care of her son. she was horrified to see how lonely he became and how he changed physically. the hardest part of the pit demick was seeing my son. when i come home in the same spot, i left him. the started snacking more. of course,

he's sitting home watching television. there's nothing to do, you can go out, started on helping thrown a few pounds. you started seeing a way get up probably respond to some of his weights, who was too exhausted to cook. healthy mills, obviously exhausted, to stand on lines. so wait for you to go inside of a grocery store and, you know, obviously exhausted during the pandemic, the number of 4 week children rose dramatically in the us, especially in less affluent areas, and among ethnic minority. sorry to do her weakness the trend firsthand. she's a pediatric cardiologist in brooklyn, new york specialist or overweight children. we would do one with a camera. everything just got exaggerated during it. so the kids, the way it went up, kids were already very obese and they got much more bees that kids will pre diabetic diabetes. that rate of diabetes went up a lot in this community. the people had high blood pressure people at

a less strong. and people became totally be conditioned. they were not doing any exercise the dog. serrita duper has been trying to change that years ago she found at the organization live light, right? the paul for fitness and nutrition courses for children and adults. during the pandemic, everything was online. now it's back to the sports field. sarita duper stresses that obesity can be dangerous, especially for him. if a 10 year old child is one and a half times his, with all his organs are aging, he's not an almost 10 year old. his body is like of the 40 year old. his heart is betty stiff. it's serious. i'm even seeing liver dysfunction. i'm seeing kids get fatty liver, that kidneys are not functioning good. i've seen patients going to early heart

failure. kevin managed to get his weight problems under control with the help of online videos provided by a new york based non profit organization that gives tips on how to get back in shape using simple methods help me to live. it definitely spread among all is all i different work out to do instead of the push i've so i sit up roughly, jake spread in my not an artist of i even, cardio. i didn't know you can do cardio home at the top. kevin's experience during the pandemic has changed him. he wants to study kinesiology and sports medicine, and teach other people how to lead healthy lives, eat right and stay fit. he knows 1st hand how important that is and also how hard it can be. covered 19 symptoms include a sore throat,

cough and high temperature. the lucky ones feel better after a fortnight. but cove it can affect multiple organs, not just the lines. also the kidneys, heart, liver, and brain. in severe cases, infection can lead to lusting damage. what's called long cove, it. this means chest and muscle pain. disturbed sleep and speech disorders, forgetfulness and impaired concentration. constant exhaustion and fatigue, and a loss of taste and smell, that can last for some time or caffeine. lamenting can finally enjoy the market with all its sense. soon as it's wonderful, it certainly changes the quality of life i've. she had lost her sense of taste and smell for almost a year and a half after cove it infection. the mother of 3 says the fact that she couldn't

smell anything was hardest. full huh. oh, no not taught somebody to not be able to smell freshly mon grass, for example, to cook or freshly baked bread. so her freshly wash laundry. so i love of the climate kind, those are some of the little things that i missed so much money kinda on sitting with my kids on the couch in the evenings, kentucky and i each child has their own center and not being able to smell them. that was really tough. she had seen her family doctor and an ear, nose and throat specialist, but they could not help her. she then turned to the austro path and trauma surgeon, dr. oliver votes. he manually treats the folks the re bree, which separates the cerebral hemispheres. a corona virus infection could harden it . he says, sometimes tension is already there. but if a cove infection with swollen mucus membranes comes on top of that, then the connection between the f moines bone and the olfactory nerves,

and therefore the brain is permanently blocked. phillips tries to remove these blockages. it can take up to 6 weeks for the therapy to work with a f ma, nobody the hall to perform. but after the 1st session, i went home and had a light tingling sensation in my head and thought about over the 1st few days. i didn't notice any improvement of them, but then slowly i could smell again. funnily enough, the 1st thing i really couldn't smell was an onion. it vacation dog all hung up. gone are the days when she had to ask her children to do the tasting of a meal or test if the milk cruise off or not, once a figuration could have ended badly, but going to pitts i'm. we'd forgotten that we had a pizza in the oven. my son came into the kitchen and noticed the oven wasn't smoking, but the pizza was inevitable and burnt. and i did my smell it with your head. and these days she can smell in tast around 60 percent, says carrying lamb,

adding the 38 year old regularly tries to train her sense of smell, co confusion. i can smell curry, but not necessarily peppercorns, but it's getting better. have you done that? sometimes it's a bit mars again, let's do. i'm positive about the future that i will be able to smell properly. again, we can con ah, ideally it's best not to get infected at all. at the height of the pandemic, pretty much the whole world war masks the most effective are, if it be to and k in $95.00 once, including against the army kron variance. if you come into contact with an infected person, even at a distance of 1.5 meters, there's a 99 percent risk. you'll get infected after just 3 minutes. but if you're wearing an f, f p to okay, and 95 mosque, the risk is considerably lower. 20 percent off to 20 minutes,

going up to 50 percent after an hour and a mosque is good protection, so long as it's worn correctly. the nose clip needs to be adjusted, so it fit snugly. the mask must completely cover both nose and mouth, but the best protection is, of course, to get vaccinated. some 13000000000 jobs have been given so far. which vaccine depends on where people live, different countries have approved. different vaccines over 30 have been approved. the aim is to protect against infection leading to severe illness and death. but in some cases, the vaccine can result in complications of this been moment on by right now, i'm about 10000 years out of pocket for that alone cost 270 euros were and i've already gone through various asthma sprays. one even contains cortisone all hello, after eva button was vaccinated against co. 19 she develop serious health issues.

the 28 year old as a german power lifting champion and holds many records but couldn't take part in the world championships this year. she already had my long pain and heart palpitations after the 1st 2 vaccinations, but still she found doctor's advice and got a good me going fished exclaimed i felt really unwell for no. i had a bladder infection, my kidneys hurt. and then i started having problems with my breathing. i have to catch my breath a lot now of if you turn the stinging in my chest came back really acutely veteran come home. and i noticed that i had no energy at all. it's rock complet owner and again and that continues to this day. eva doesn't know exactly what's wrong with her. she has high hopes for her appointment at the university of marble police here bingo is also looking forward to visiting its long covert special outpatient clinic

. the 28 year old has waited a long time for this is her miss d. i'm hoping that something can be done now that will make me feel better or at least still not being some of the symptoms hasn't told my grandmother. when felicia, being at that vaccinated in may 2021, she posted the video and instagram an actor. she thought she'd finally be able to work again without having to worry. but then she began suffering from chronic exhaustion. hives, numbness and allergic reactions. don't come in even m. i kept developing more symptoms and neurological problems out and went through a marathon, visits to doctors. i realized none of them took me seriously. ms. ads here in the special outpatient clinic. felicia bingo is thoroughly examined. professor schieffer wants to find out what's causing the vaccination side effects. demand is high. patients have to wait 9 months for an appointment or they're missing tut ticklish. we actually have to produce many, many different areas, very carefully to be able to say what the problem stems from each patient and why

the immune system took a wrong turn after getting the vaccine up. what's yen tins? fetch up all, miss matt, not me. nobody has ever listened to me or taken me as seriously as they did here. it's a huge relief. first, we'll say life to will in germany, 75 percent of the population is fully vaccinated. now, discussion has ignited about the proportion of severe side effects. 0.02 percent, according to official figures, far more important than the exact figure says professor schieffer is taking those who are affected seriously. that's a help think he's young. women of reproductive age are 3 times more likely to be effective than men types. but they are all young people of human mention. felicia being is now being treated with special medication as tougher does is put in, i'm hoping i'm one of the 85 percent in health. and now for the 1st time, i have hope that i'll be better in a few weeks. eva boats,

and hope so too. she holds a german record in the power lifting squad. but right now she doesn't feel like a record breaker. she gets dizzy when she trains she just wants to be able to do everyday tasks again, want him walking the dog, i'm going shopping without any problems and getting back into training. and so starting. eva woodson also has an outpatient appointment in margaret soon and hope to find out what exactly is wrong with her. and scientists still can't explain why complications linked to a vaccine can occur. but a clear majority of medical experts believe the benefits of vaccination outweigh the risks they protect against severe and facial cases of cove at 19, including new on the crown variance, according to the w h o. over $300.00 new vaccines are currently in development. one

of the most promising options is vaccine in the form of a nasal spray. since the 1st contact with sales covey to occurs in the upper respiratory airways, it makes sense to stop the infection in its tracks. with further advantage, administering the vaccine won't require the same scale of trained personnel, and getting regular boosters will be easy and painless. there are also medications that can help tackle the disease. they use various active ingredients, but have 2 things in common. they need to be taken as soon as possible after infection and are primarily intended to help patients who are especially vulnerable . what about patients who have just a scratchy throat and a slight fever? standard treatments for basic colds can help, as can tried and tested home remedies. ah,

and immunity boosting spicy tonic from the u. s. believe to be highly effective. fire side as it contains horseradish which helps to loosen flame and clear the airways and cold busting ginger chillies, onions and garlic, fill the whole thing with apple cider vinegar, and sweeten with a little honey. take note fireside and needs to steep for 4 weeks. so bit of prepare a few bottles in advance. tama goes zaki from japan is ready to drink in a few minutes. simply mix an egg with sugar, slowly pour in some hot saki japanese rice, wine and stir. the sweet creamy drink is best served in a cocktail glass. many japanese people swear by this home remedy during the cold season. the delicious sour and spicy tell me m

soup also comes from asia. this traditional tie recipe helps fight cold with its generous helpings of ginger, lemon grass, mushrooms, garlic, and hot chillies. a very simple but effective drink is prepared in some regions of mexico in spain. during the cold season. garlic tea, put a few cloves of garlic in hot water, add lemon juice, and a little honey. hold your nose and knock it back. and lastly, the hot toddy. this comes from scotland and contains you guessed it, whisky. mix with honey cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg and some lemon juice for an extra shot of vitamin c. then pour on some hot water. the alcohol is supposed to help you fall asleep. just make sure you don't overdo it.

is the situation improving? we've learned a lot about the corona virus. we now have vaccines and millions of people are me and because they are recovered. do we no longer have to fear the virus? can we finally stop worrying in ferguson? it could be the opposite, because humans are destroying animal habitats. the risk of pandemic has growing. globalization is also part of the problem. above all, environmental destruction is forcing animals species together that previously had no contact. this increases the likelihood of 0 noses, pathogens that spread from animals to healing. ah z, mona's alma is an expert on. so no, says she strongly believes that we need to be paying more attention to the causes

of pandemic. or they'll keep occurring when finished i, if i don't do everything we can to tackle the mechanisms that lead his lunatic diseases. there's a high risk that we'll see. another epidemic in a couple of years without a bowler. marburg via is disease plus the fever, swine flu, bud flu. we've had salvas and now coven 19. and the time lapse between these diseases is getting shorter and shorter emotionally. that's why virus monitoring is important. here in kenya, researchers are worried about mergers, middle east respiratory syndrome, 1st discovered and saudi arabia and 2012. it can be transmitted from bat by a camel's to humans moors. it's also a corona virus, and light cove. it 19, it keeps mutating. it could end up deadlier than it is right now and become a pandemic. ah, in this laboratory, a team of scientists lead by epidemiologist eric fence one to find out what

influences the transmission risk. there is a renewed interest in anything to do with viruses, anything to do with the sonata diseases because of the whole are covered issue. and for me, for us, for my team, for the people we work with, that's very important because we, we understand that it's, that it's essential to keep an efforts on trying to understand the biology of these kinds of pathogens. in marber, germany, scientists are working to prepare new vaccines against new murders and cove. at 19 variance. they've developed a vaccine platform harmless viruses that the scientists can easily activate with the genetic information of new cove at 19 mutations. for example, most was a supporter, but you can compare it to building a ship out of lego. all it's gonna be our ship is 95 percent ready. how tish? we just need to add that one last lego. that's the novels corona virus. and we can

do that pretty fast. cannot, you know, as my role, i just bowed up. laughter explains, it's impossible to completely prepare a vaccine against a future mutation because it helps. so here you can never be fully prepared for a virus mutation item. you cannot prepare a vaccine because you don't know how a virus is going to evolve. take basic influenza every year, well, have to see how the flu virus has mutated and just the vaccine accordingly. so you can't really do any preventive work against a pandemic under me. again. in 2015, a 64 year old, died of merce in this hospital and all sna brook. experts are concerned that murders could pose the next global threat. for now, it's not as infectious as coven 19. the patient became infected well, monitoring. this mouse, yours is young of yours as us. we've known about the merced virus for some time

reason. it mainly affects the lower respiratory tractor. if this house is, that means that the pathogenic not as easily transmitted at the south covered to virus slash course, the current pandemic is housed here. hm. named him also for now. the situation is tables were not, although we have to keep a close eye on it. but there are plenty of other diseases around the world. we also need to keep a close eye on lisa, and which are potentially more relevant than nurse globally caching on google maps . accountable. for example, global warming is encouraging the spread of the tiger mosquito which can carry up to 20 diseases, including donkey fever the herpes virus, kansas, $400000.00 cases of shingles and germany every year. some $200000000.00 people worldwide contract malaria each year. and some 1700000 people die every year of age . and there are still no vaccines available. area under 20 guns if there's

a whole range of infectious diseases worldwide that affect many people and climb many lives with food. so these are what we need to continue to focus on while malaria, tuberculosis, and various other diseases. alhambra conklin, in the case of south corona virus to we could react fast at a juice. vaccines, thanks to new vaccine platforms relatively quickly, which could then undergo accelerated approval procedures ponder chlorophyll cronin . so that's one of elephant react. you can cut vaccines are being developed at high speed production capacities, are being expanded everywhere to manufacture enough vaccines for as many people as possible as soon as possible. they hope that the next pandemic caused by a corona, virus mutation or other virus can be brought quickly under control. ah, regular sports is one way of boosting the immune system and reducing the risk of infection

. fitness trainer lilia shows us how to easily incorporated into daily life. hi and welcome. i was in the supermarket, and now i train. i take my grocery shopping and instead of taking the car, i walk hope when you walk, bring your shoulder blades together and squeeze your stomach. and if you need a break, bring the bags on the floor. shake your arms, and then you're ready. go ahead. with this exercise is the perfect full body exercise because you train off because of the

walking your legs and because of your grocery shopping to train your arms and your whole upper body, you can make your training harder when you take a supermarket, who is more far away or you buy more products just make sure you're back in time to watch the next edition of in good shape. see then ah ah, with ah
