the food was going to be destroyed. still perfectly good to eat, but was labeled incorrectly in its country of origin. meadow is going to redistribute it to people in me. when kobe 19 hit, adult work became even more bible. he expanded his organization and focused on providing emergency food a to ganeth most vulnerable people. i, there's the all sets of all the people lost, the adults in the ad leveled, and that created a need for support, especially support in day we ultimately seen shelter and then at least a medicine for through our it called a 19 meg as innovation program in carven, by providing food and mid sin, they lived lieut, so called fool,

one rabble. people had getting mostly lose affected by that poverty pandemic. the corona virus pandemic has posed a serious threat to food security and gone up before the pandemic. an estimated 1200000 people were food insecure. within 2 years, that number had doubled, with no end in sight. inflation and rising food prices are making a difficult situation. worse. food for all africa was founded in 2015. the non profit is west africa's 1st and largest food bank, ada and his team have made it their mission to fight hunger and tackle food waste. since the started the pandemic, they've recovered nearly a 1000000 euros worth of food from supermarkets, hotels, and farms. they've helped feed more than half

a 1000000 people today the team has headed to a low income community, about 50 kilometers from one of their warehouses and went over good model audio. many families here struggle to access food. today at us team is prioritizing elderly women there among those most hard hit by the pandemic and to be react, considering our mothers was 60 years and above and what is the w a true i'm about half of again, is our severely oh, i'm moderately fully secure, with a remote says i monga mud as was the c s and above they are mostly affected. so we want to support them rebel for bugs. and that can also trigger down to the children and even dug on children. it's a happy moment for the community. these food donations will make

a huge difference for the recipients so that the n m. i had to take off when cobit haiti to affected me financially, not sudden, it was hard to find any food, a tool to eat it as a rule. so these food items will really help us about why a crack even amid the worsening economic crisis gone, as government has been unable to provide food relief to the most vulnerable people have been left to fend for themselves. that i was pleased when the food donations can put a smile on the faces of people in need. i feel very inspired, i feel fulfilled. it makes me see that indeed, banking is at full notion pool. immediate, and meghan see innovation in our communities. helping those in need. it's

work. the former chef is determined to continue oklahoma or in the autumn tinian capital one. as i raised a soup kitchen with a long history of feeding, some of the city's poorest families managed to keep its doors open during locked downs against all odds. but sadly, the woman who found at the soup kitchen lost her battle with the corona virus while serving the community that she was so devoted to andrea alondo has 7 brothers and sisters, her father, carlos. armando is the builder and her mother gladys are agony at us. was a homemaker in 1989 when argentina was buffeted by hyperinflation. her parents opened a soup kitchen in their home, despite their own hardships. gladys, the devout catholic, was in charge. she called it the organized community or yeah,

am some families here had very little. so they decided to make a populous jew, so there would be something to eat every day. yeah. yeah, yeah. first there were 30 people and then 50. and today we provide meals to $135.00 families, then it is single family. as an alignment of during the pandemic, the soup kitchen was able to remain open thanks to the volunteer work of gladys and her neighbor, gloria setello. the state helped with food donations. in march 2020, the official locked down, put many people in the area out of work. even though gladys, his own health was failing, she decided to increase the number of meals to a 150 a day. the shaggy ag, if if he or she wanted to continue, no matter what sort of that out. she wanted to work in her soup kitchen and support her children as she always said, asia. that's how she was see, she always wanted to help him, but it seemed. but actually we grew up with that vision of her desire to be there

for others young and there is, i seem breath out, but i love the math. eventually their children convinced gladys and carlos to start isolating to protect themselves from the virus. they only went into the dining room on the way to the bathroom. andrea, her brothers and gloria took charge of the soup kitchen. but on june 14th, 2020 gladys and her husband were hospitalized with cove. 19 gladys died a month later. since then, carla has been running the soup kitchen on his own island, mckinley fuqua ruled a year. why? she didn't worry about her own health. lenny cicio what a matter 2 or more was continuing her work carrier dinner, but she knew people needed her as she go and it wasn't only my wife so many other people believe the same thing in them. or be known more than 10000000

people in argentina rely on soup kitchens. many of the cooks, he worked in those kitchens, die during the panoramic. that's like lot. his son franco took part in a campaign to declare cook's essential work. it's much like doctors and nurses after the campaign, andrea and the other assistance begun to receive half the minimum wage to keep the soup kitchen running. it was vital recognition for their work in salary for me, i was thinking of my family 1st avia, but also of all the people from the neighbourhood. but everything was suddenly closed and many people had nothing to eat. and i, but i'm helping keep a place open that says meals to paypal meant a lot to me and what they were water for. gloria. the soup kitchen was also a source of hope. but i say i lender will manage me and my children, they give me strength for the future. worse, i guess. and of course, side of the people who come here to a local me, the elder could either is

a street cleaner. her 12 children also went to the soup kitchen. now she's here to get food for her full grandchildren. 8th, almost only. it's like a little nest for all the children in the neighbourhood for everyone in the city and there was nothing like this before. and now we have a place where we can eat their name a whole new. as on the gladys was a wonderful person, done. she was our angel. well, our tech to hasn't been, are you? oh no, no, call the whole. meanwhile, the group runs more than a soup kitchen. they also offer a literacy program for young people and adults. and there's a center that gives free legal advice named after gladys are back on the other. staying in south america, a 1000 kilometers from coin as iris and northern argentina nymph bitten by a people the pandemic is of course

a threat to this indigenous population. but they doing their best to protect themselves from the virus using their own method. ah, the and by indigenous community of 20 remodeled dos is located in the sparsely populated border region between argentina, brazil, and paraguay. so far, no one here has contracted coven 19. but they're worried. the traditional medicinal plants they rely on to protect themselves are becoming ever harder to find. oh god . oh, okay. i use our ne, doing plans to treat respiratory diseases law, but there are in so many around an alley because so much of the forest here has been filled by loggers. you would de eat, and there have been more and more forest fires the last few months when the forest is burning, we can breathe as well. what a coven 19 infection would make it was worse. ok, so of course we're worried that we're good. in recent years,

multinational corporations have occupied vast areas of indigenous lands to produce pulse for the paper industry. according to the u. n, the pulp and paper industries are among the world's biggest polluters. supplies of drinking water are now under threat. the introduction of non native pine trees has also increased the risk of forest fires. wrinkles now in single fact the community lives confined within 5 hector's land and he's surrounded by tree plantation. and so they live on top of that, the forest foss season is just around the corner. they will naturally an outbreak of cov, 19, in an indigenous community that lives surrounded by pine forest. could be very serious. so the people that won't be able to treat themselves or leave it,

they live really far away from hospitals and other health care facilities. argentina's governments, as it has introduce measures to protect them by people in the home. yeah, for me, after medical staff and essential workers, indigenous communities were one of the 1st groups to be vaccinated. their vaccination rate is 90 to 95 percent record. despite efforts to get the vaccines to isolated areas, many members of the m by a community did not want to be vaccinated. they prefer to rely on traditional medicinal plants and their knowledge of nature passed down through the generations . the it has belong to us for generations and we take care of it because we can only live and survive together with nature as a people we were here long before any one else. ah, the community here hopes to protect itself from the corona virus by sticking

together and relying on ancient traditions. oh, do you have the question about the corona virus? send it in and our signs me posted derek winslow. draw on the latest research to answer it. right to us at pivot producer i d, w dot come this week, j l wanted to know does your body wipe out the virus in tiny or does some remain in you even after recovering some pathogens remain in the body at low levels, more or less permanently after infecting you and, and they can flare up and cause symptoms even years later. that's the case with viruses. in the herpes family, for instance, which go dormant and cells long term by hiding their genetic material in ours there, it can persist for,

for long periods. and because the infection isn't active, it's basically invisible to your immune system. but in the right circumstances, like if you're exhausted the, the viral genome can be triggered and infected cells begin churning out virus again, causing for example, cold sores or, or the painful blister is known as a shingles. this kind of infection is called a latent one. and although herpes viruses and some other viruses establish latency, as far as we know, sars covey too. and other corona viruses don't work that way, but, but that doesn't mean that pockets of them can't persist in the body for a lot longer than you might think. they do and some people, especially the immunocompromised. there's been plenty of cases where researchers

continue to detect sars coby two's genetic material for months after an initial infection long past the time when it should have been cleared and studies wrong, going into what that means. exactly. one thought is that persistent pockets of corona virus in the body might, at least in some people, be linked directly or indirectly to long coven symptoms. if even small amounts of virus were still replicating in an otherwise mostly cleared patient, that could be in theory, enough to activate an immune response, for instance, that, that might cause inflammation, which in some cases could lead to problems like my brain fog or, or persistent fatigue the ones that often reflect long haulers but, but that theory hasn't been proven yet,

and there are other explanations out there for why. even otherwise healthy people can come down with the wide range of symptoms that fall under the umbrella term. long cove, it boom ah, after suffering from kevin 191 woman in berlin has had a life turned upside down. the day to day life is dubbed by severe concentration problems and overwhelming fatigue. nothing is as it was before. proseries, my code of ed louis told from germany a sunset. estes the copper line. yeah. the worst part is the weakness in your body. it's overwhelming. after a few seconds, it's so bad. i think that you feel like you could collapse slum and grunt from us when you feel like you just have to sit down and put your feet up. it's like the brain can't keep up any more. was fine as i forget things or even something i said

just a 2nd ago or what other people said to me, numbers and names, just go by miss monique arvin. my name is monica. i am 60 years old. and since august, i've had coven 19 symptoms. minute after about 10 days i tested negative again and felt great in comparison. i thought everything would be okay. that's why i was active for 2 days and felt almost 100 percent better. how about it? after the 2nd day, i noticed i'd over done it in the following days, that feeling of weakness came back and it's been coming and going ever since 6th when i'd like the voting of daily life has become very difficult, especially shopping. irv reger going out is very hard for me, but i now have a fold out chair to sit on on so i can at least sit down and check out the i can't stand for long periods of time. yes. but what i have to think about each step i take, what can i manage? how many steps can i handle are were with them. i have

a small bicycle without pedal cigar so i can at least move around a little bit. on yasamin 5, a friend of mine took the pedals off my bike, the dying. it's like a bridge to the outside world for me. for me. they are the worker thought it wasn't road as it gives me the chance to get out and do a bit of shopping and complete other essential tasks that would friend extra yon as openly as the costs. i try to manage my energy. and so i can get a little bit of something done every day. so i would status my i hope i'll be able to get by with that long term and still get to experience the outside world a bit. you're gonna, you're having ignore the calmer when i come home. i'm happy to be here again. i am . i'm happy that i made it remain for her and i feel proud that i can still accomplish something. yard as a slight are yeah, unfortunately,

experiencing an 80 or 90 percent crash is not so nice. ah 50 my vehicle 20. our cor everything becomes very weird. even reading as difficult letters don't seem to be where they belong. gov with him. go on, the broad words appear back to front tooth. when i look at this text, it's not easy to decipher. i'd prefer not to look at it at all like honey can cooking i will become on one. how can someone forget everything from one day to the next? i don't understand it at all. that takes by me writing as really important to me. i and because i wanted to write to a doctor who was familiar with the problem, can midst to hoffman at basil bits of a quorum, but then i hope to get help relate of and some understanding baker. i and maybe some tips on finding myself a doctor who had experience in this area of the, of hong but in adam,

the interactions with doctors were quite difficult for me even though they were very unreceptive and even ignorant the are one part bentley. they didn't understand what my problem was. crushed in garden, they thought nothing was wrong with me. the harmon dock on the handle, my lab results were normal. my blood pressure was good and my pulse was normal to. oh, everything looked great for us. so they thought, what's her problem? he vista, the fog of him, the most important thing to me is understanding what's happening to my body, be com to suffer what's going on with him. what causes me to fill the way i do now? i feel that i feel i research to launch anything, but i still can't really understand it. i mean, i'm not a doctor, so i don't know i, i can look up all the terms on google it again, but i'd rather have a doctor who can say to me, yes, you have this all that and maybe you can do this or that to treated psychology, whoever i think is weird, but quite probably won't get help since it's an illness that isn't treatable. but maybe every day life could be made

a bit easy. i thought no more than one. you know, i just like to go out dancing again to move my body and be around people. it was fine to experience new things and meet up with friends and acquaintances. i'd really like to go to places and see things again. i just won't be able to go away, might i? if i don't have, that's my greatest wish for it. just to be ofac, where if i went to for info by, as i m m dash more than 1000000000 people around the world are living with disabilities. the pleasure of schools and other facilities made their lives even more difficult. one father in columbia, his son needs round the clock head, decided to launch a cooking based therapy group at his house. rubio fernandez, his life changed with the arrival of his youngest child. he quit his police job and devoted himself to francisco,

who needs round the clock care. when the pandemic started, the 2 found themselves cut off from the outside world. but then ruby fernandez, had an idea he in a 2nd here in my kitchen, in my house, i started offering cooking classes for people with disabilities here. this is where the magical project was born with the cooking adventure we have for children with disabilities you. after the lockdown was lifted, the therapy kitchen project found a new and larger home in the sensory life center. trained therapists and caregivers could now join in well, let's go. this album of course with the children was super motivated, but the kitchen of mr. fernandez was too small for the entire group feel. so the decision was made to move it here, but we started with the desert project and that worked out beautifully as you're

moving into the therapists and caregivers at the center say that therapy kitchen is helping their patients put the lockdown behind them. learning to cook brings them both physical and emotional benefits will test. they must, they make lots of progress if they get out of them or attain and feel like an active part of the community. often they feel they're not good at anything, but here they can do things for themselves. so no more. d zamora is also benefiting she's visually impaired and lost her job during the pandemic. her therapist recommended joining the cooking therapy to help lift her spirits. their particular, the physicals, it's hard to find a job around her. i'm with a disability, it's twice as hard for them as it, but then it got worse. i left the 1st people they let go with the ones who shouldn't have been thrown out as their most vulnerable, because i'm will lead others. daisy mora uses the classes to learn new recipes and

cooking techniques. it also helped her get back on her feet after the lockdown. but gaskin was others, almost bored. we don't want to be pitied with us. we just like every one else. we may do things differently, but we're the same for what colors are much human beings with the same rights, but with different ability to share this. implement that be for the classes are free of charge for participants. rubia fernandez volunteers here. part of his police pension goes toward buying ingredients. isn't what i am, isn't very gallup. i said your team please. okay. k is faculty. not that appear and be the you are hello. yes. it, yes sir. okay, man, i think i've been me at another up here, but a lot of my son added up yaki, the recall for the owner came killed in, i'm which as of the fox, you're the dishes they prepare are sold at local markets. the income then helps maintain the kitchen for rubia, the therapy kitchen has given him a new vocation,

couldn't okay. you're saying, look you up in the a boy look remedied out as much on as he might as i had clag for, let him come. this cut bossy kin noise since he given a fussy fiddle with william, we set the fact building ruby or fernandez, has shared this experience with his son francisco, who feels his father's love and the affection of the other participants. ah, that's all for this episode of the coven, 19 special. see you again next week till then stay healthy. ah!
