7:40 am
more than ever. if you're looking for some makin no. gov. caceres says that nurses took on around 80 percent of patient care rather than thinking that the number of young leggett got him or more just me, or they got dr. lee in general. the risk of an infection is an occupational hazard . locus up with well prepared for that as we can be better known up on the bus in a panoramic lot. we have to think about our families to i had actually on my left armenia, katherine worked in an isolation ward set up the tor new hospital in point as ari's clinic. they're gone thick through a by name. yeah. now yeah, we watched one patient after another die or if it wasn't easy, foster glad i'm in the. she says that nurses were inadequately protected to seal them by the coin, but i'm glad i went to court to demand p. p e and the government manipulated
7:41 am
protocol saying for example, that a certain mask was not necessary to perform a certain activity that the me i want to recall. diego domingos is catherine boss. we went through a law together once when the patient collapsed. we ran over to help him without thinking about our own safety. yamma. many of their colleagues had severe cases themselves. for, for made, often there were nurses working in the isolation ward if it came down with covey data element it, it didn't really matter. and to this day have a major problems such as blood vessel damage and breathing problems or so. but i remember every day doria, lambert, marianne ellen, though the pandemic, claimed the lives of more people working on health care than in any other sector name. yeah. carolyn, acosta. this is on her way to a demonstration in downtown, when, as ari's, even before the pandemic, she belong to

7:45 am
a little more argumentative and we had to give each other more room in that a lot is patio zacalo were a 4 person family. what and we each need our space. you got back into nicotine, this was but you go mad. living together in a small space, all teens kids. so saudi. sadie, easterling tariffs does his job. i was on stand by for uber every day. even though we had no customers, no business was really slow. for the 1st 3 months of the pandemic, i had to feed my family out of my savings as this was after those 1st 3 mozilla companies got going again, look at it, wanted their employees to be driven to work. so they had more protection. if it's active, i don't, we don't like the bar e b then since then, the over services stabilized again and is remain consistent until today. young i got a little trouble. he lowered us kid is this a momento? it was good for us because if there was hardly any traffic yellow feature law,
7:46 am
how did you have input in north africa all over the studies, minnesota in either you know, literally low. i was listening to the radio and was horrified when i heard the news . where it was my job to transport people through the pandemic. the i put up plastic to protect myself from my passengers. going to me i kept anti bacterial joe in the car. he, if i was paid in cash and i tried to disinfect it, i was kept them all. if people totally disinfect, that'll let me go. the mexican government didn't want to mandate a lock down that 1st story. they didn't want to ban anything out of asking the truth is we needed more restrictions during the 2nd wave, when many people died. okay, because the 2nd wave was awful. booker, when at the but i could, we did, i think we'll now layla. he gets his tool aim was for that
7:47 am
easy. 30 c mckaylin as well as thee i have damaged my lungs. it puts a strain on me at work that we and sometimes makes it difficult to breathe. because peter lou josh, treating the dangerous long term consequences of a covert infection is a challenge worldwide. johan ramirez met a long covey sufferer in quito the capital of ecuador estefan, ron had coven, 19 back in 2020. 2 years later, he still having his blood tested every 2 months. the initial infection left him bed bound for 11 days. but it wasn't until later that things got really bad. he started suffering from headaches, fatigue, shortness of breath, dizziness and overall weakness. it's as he does here now,
7:48 am
but my life has changed completely and i've had to alter my diet for starters, in one of the, the north that up it'll see moist already that i'm now very strict about particular foods. i can't eat any fat home and i certainly can drink too much alcohol for letting me have a good guess. in her sport used to be a central part of my life. i used to exercise almost every day, but now i can only exercise 2 or 3 times a week. i'm just too weak, look him up. i have to do it in small amounts. otherwise my body can't cope on the one. but on top of these physical effects and limitations on his life, there was also the financial impact. so far, his treatment has cost more than $18000.00 us dollars. and he is one of the lucky ones. as a university professor, he has private health insurance, which covers the costs. blood transfusions are particularly expensive. so far he
7:49 am
has had 14 of them. in process of that rascal see a transfusions are not just about blood like article. they include a special humor to logical component that i receive, which enables my body to react better. by monday that we can, with the transfusions reduce my tiredness, i think they helped me break more easily. william is asking if well, that will be done before they enable me to lead a normal life and have time for my work and my family with god. the important la without them i would have to keep taking breaks and having naps, to help me relax and recover the yeah, i said about having to see this yesterday. but each transfusion costs between $121300.00 us dollars doesn't, doesn't belong ecuador was severely affected by the pandemic. despite months of strict lock downs, the virus continued to spread. and the country's health system was brought to its
7:50 am
knees. hundreds of people here are still suffering after effect from the illness, despite no longer testing positive for it. and 10 of the countries $24.00 federal states, the government has now set up centers offering after care for covered 19 patience. can only chase, god bless you, we decided to especially train some of our medical professionals home is busy and is t as in reading, mainly specialists and pulmonary rehabilitation to be able to deal with the various long problems that occur in 2015 if well so that they can recognize them and help treat them. it says using specific exercises for reactivating lung capacity up the web. back up, i see that good mac the survey. i think this is for patients who have had coven, once or multiple times, will know what he has. this is scott estefan. ron has another doctor's appointment
7:51 am
. he comes here for a check up once a month before you before. oh, how are you doing? good. i'm doing much better than i was in those examiners. today's blood test is the 1st one without signs of anemia. we see a normal hemoglobin value of 15.6. a check of your iron levels reveals that your serum iron is normal. michaela is the yield rule. you rosetti with a little bit on your iron deposits are low though, so the hematologist may decide to give you another transfusion to top them up. but i think that all good, if they ask for a step on drawn, there's light at the end of the tunnel. he can cycle through kito and he hopes that one day he'll be back to his previous fitness levels. one of the unsettling characteristics of long cove it is that there are no bio marcus to enable
7:52 am
a clean medical diagnosis. that's where all 4 legged friend could come to the rescue. researches in hanover have discovered that specially trained sniffer dogs can detect along caving infection. this is barling, and this is polly like all dogs, they have an incredibly sensitive sense of smell until the 5th researchers at the university of veterinary medicine, hanover, are training the 2 dogs under a dozen others as part of a study on diagnosing long cove. it with training, the dogs are usually able to correctly identify smell samples from infected patience or the scope of a sam he got his in the accuracy rate is surprisingly high. i mrs. but also movie government. that was also such a eureka moment for us. when we began the study that says this by sensitivity, globally, the accuracy rate of dogs is 81 to 86 percent north fulton distance is x. now this
7:53 am
portentous of the dogs are much better than rapid antigen tests and the inch notice . so how to dogs detect cove infections? any one who has contracted the virus, emits volatile organic compounds. the dogs can sniff these out, and apparently even long after a patient has recovered that, cyclists, i'm with a sink under sooner and shines. i'm the women's, we actually found out that the dogs were able to identify long covered samples along, but only when they were presented alongside negative samples. cool man, i think we'll need negative form present yet. when, when presented next to samples of acute cove, it, the dogs preferred the acute samples your cooking comb with for the at and a dash these mid us. that's why not. so we concluded into that there is some kind of degrading odor profile. and we're trying to confirm that in further studies of sd these are the inner workings of our machine.
7:54 am
behind each sniffing hole is a slot with 2 samples, one with the cov, 19 virus, and one without. the machine was designed to train dogs and the detection of drugs and explosives that research has found that it can also be used with kobe samples. now hidden doors gung after each run, all the slides are repositioned so that only one hole contains a positive sample, nuggets like that. all other holes contain negative samples. and if the dog keeps its nose in the hole with the positive sample for long enough strung, then of feeding mechanism is triggered for dogs magenta's most in a secure laboratory at the university of i. religious prepares, the cove, it's samples, saliva sweat on urine specimens. i used in the training so that they are no longer infectious. the samples are chemically treated beforehand. listen, it wound up. yeah, we have to deactivate the samples because dogs and of course,
7:55 am
the people who trained the dogs could otherwise get infected. now the samples are no longer infectious and can be used for training. in 2020 scientists conducted the 1st test with the specimens and discovered that sniffer dogs can indeed detect cove in 19 but could sniff dogs also be used in every day medical practice yard. as the thing bar, yes, it's feasible math because the dogs really do it very quickly. heaped smokeless cotton hundreds which can there are ways to train them. meetings put, there are training programs, not so much for disease detection. at the moment, it's mainly training to detect explosives, more drugs, but you can also transfer the expertise to diseased detection. what i did conks, they picked soon. oh, the research is in hanover, will present their results next year. the world health organization is now also recognizing the potential for using the animals sensitive noses to detect illness.
7:56 am
it wants to support the scientists, and they canine assistance into the feature. so coming up on the next covey 19 special, killing us at a christmas market in berlin. now, after 2 years, then does the finally able to serve the public again. mm hm. until then, bye bye. and stay healthy. ah ah, with
