11:45 am
a little more argumentative. you and we had to give each other more room in data losses. bassio's account. we're a 4 person family. what and we each need our space. you gotta came to nicotine. this was, but you go mad. living together in a small space, all these kids so sadly, sadie eastern sheriffs does his job. i was on stand by for uber every day, even though we had no customers know 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 months, la companies got going again and it wanted their employees to be driven to work. and 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 remained consistent until today. young i got a little trouble. he lowered us could. is this a momento? it was good for us because there was hardly any traffic yellow feature. la la,
11:46 am
how did you have input via tropical? well, i would have thought of this minnesota in either your numbers, really 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. here to me, i kept anti bacterial gel in the car. if i was paid in cash and i tried to disinfect it, i was kept them all. if, if people threaten the they think that'll let me cancel. the mexican government didn't want to mandate a locked down at 1st, but i really didn't want to bend anything out of asking the truth is we needed more restrictions during the 2nd wave. when many people die, okay, because the 2nd wave was awful. booker will not have what i could, we did, i think, well now layla gave his, his tool a was for that easy. 30
11:47 am
c mckaylin as well as the i have damaged my lungs. it puts a strain on me at work and sometimes makes it difficult to breathe because peter lou sh. treating the dangerous long term consequences of a covert infection is a challenge. world wide. johan ramirez met a long covey sufferer in quito the capital of ecuador estefan. ron had covered 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 is as he does here. now my life has
11:48 am
changed completely and i've had to alter my diet. for starters, i think one of the, of the ne, 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. 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 is 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
11:49 am
particularly expensive. so far he has had 14 of them a process a little, see a transfusions are not just about blood, you know, go to can they include a special human to logical component that i receive, which enables my body to react better by monday, the weekend with the transfusions reduce my tiredness, i think they help me brain more easily. was young as i think it was be done before they enable me to lead a normal life and have time for my work and my family go the important law. 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. yes. but each transfusion costs between $121300.00 us dollars and the water ecuador was severely affected by the pandemic. despite months of strict locked downs, the virus continued to spread and the country's health system was brought to its
11:50 am
knees. hundreds of people here are still suffering after effects from the illness, despite no longer testing positive for it. and 10 of the countries 24 federal states. the government has now set up centers offering after care for coven 19 patience. then only choice, god bless you. we decided to specially trained some of our medical professionals home as busy induced as in reading, mainly specialists and pulmonary rehabilitation, to be able to deal with the various long problems that occur, either defeating it, whether so that they can recognize them and help treat them. it says using specific exercises for reactivating lung capacity up the web backup. i see that good more left this every i think this is for patients who have had coven, once or multiple times, will know what he has mrs. cole. esteban ron has another doctor's appointment. he
11:51 am
comes here for a check up once a month. it was given 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. the a check of your iron levels reveals that your serum iron is normal. michaela is the hero electrostatic with on the love it on. your iron deposits are low though, so the hematologist may decide to give you another transfusion to top them up, but i never did get they asked for a step on their on 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 mach has to enable
11:52 am
a clear 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 k they'd infection this is barling, and this is polly. like all dogs, they have an incredibly sensitive sense of smell. here. research is that 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 don't so usually able to correctly identify smell samples from infected patients. or the prep of a sam he got his in the accuracy rate is surprisingly high. mrs. but also movie come home. and so 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 senses x. not this
11:53 am
portentous of the dogs are much better than rapid antigen tests and the internet has. so how do dogs detect cove infections? anyone 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 st. lucie, i'm with a synchronous the hunter and shines m m m. we actually found out that the dogs were able to identify long covered samples along, but only when they were presented alongside negative samples. we pulled monitoring soon, even eager to pull them presently it wouldn't when presented next to samples of acute cove. it, the dogs preferred the acute samples, your coupon affiliate, and our dos these ministers. why not? so we concluded 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. behind each sniffing hole is
11:54 am
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, but research has found that it can also be used with cobit samples. now he, them doors gun. after each run, all the slides or reposition showed that only one hall contains up positive sample young insect. but all other halls contain negative samples. when, if the dog keeps its nose in the hole with the positive sample for long enough strung, then of feeding mechanism is triggered through dogs, magenta's most in a secure laboratory at the university of iraq purchase prepares the cove it's samples, saliva, sweat, and urine specimens are used in the training so that they are no longer infectious . the samples are chemically treated beforehand. listen, if we're not you, we have to deactivate the samples because dogs and of course the people who trained
11:55 am
the dogs could otherwise get infected like law. now the samples are no longer infectious and can be used for training. in 2020 scientists conducted the 1st tests with the specimens, and discovered that sniffer dogs can indeed detect coven 19. but could sniffer dogs also be used in every day medical practice? jada sustained gone? yes, it's feasible math because the dogs really do it very quickly. heaped smokeless cotton units. what's going there are ways to train them. meanings put, there are training programs, not so much for disease detection. at the moment, it's mainly training to detect explosives, more drugs did, but you can also transfer the expertise to disease detection. what i did conks detects yawn. all 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.
11:56 am
it wants to support the scientists, and they canine assistance into the feature. so coming up on the next covey 19 special join us at a christmas market in berlin. now after 2 years, then does the finally able to serve the public again? me until then, bye bye, and stay healthy. ah ah, with
