Are casting doubt on its effectiveness but 1st overfilled hospitals overwhelms nursing staff in mexico some fear the pandemic is spiraling out of control. According to the World Health Organization over 8000000 cases of corona virus have been confirmed so far nearly 450000 people have died of the disease that in america has been particularly acutely affected alongside brazil peru and chile mexico has been struck with an Alarming Number of infections and yet many there seem lax about lockdown measures despite the fact that over 18000 mexicans have died so far. Code while it is suspected coated case. Diego occurred and is red cross units here in mexico are on their way. Its above the patient has respiratory problems and all the other symptoms. Its another tough day for the team the pandemic has likely been at its peak here for weeks nobody knows for sure is very little testing. If its distressing not knowing how many are really infected so we wont know when this is going to end up i mean up. We dont get enough sleep where stressed out some of our colleagues have been infected and some have died but i mean because go for you if you. Go they never know what awaits them when the medics go in what they hear doesnt sound good i. The man is 81 years old and a diabetic his blood oxygen level is too low he can hardly breathe. I think he has this he 83 fever he hasnt been able to stand for 3 days. Its probably covered lets take him to hospital. But just as the crew is getting ready the transport is suddenly cancelled. Figure they take him away he may never come back but for lead. Diego archiver leaves the patient his chances dont look good with a heavy heart gets him up a wall of fear of family ties are strong in mexico they prefer to die with their loved ones even if they could be saved in the hospital before the committee the buffalo. The unit has to move on in addition to the stress of their assignments the ambulances have to fight for space and streets in mexico not everyone gets out of their way. At a time going in give me a quick month. Then next call takes them to a large family crammed into a small space. Are you afraid of catching it. Yes. When he asks if a covert test has been done they say no. But the man is having trouble breathing and one woman tells us that hes had pneumonia. It often starts that way if. Since hospitals are overcrowded the medics can only take critical patients but he doesnt have to go to hospital yet hes stable performance. A candle has been lit to ward off death. But thousands of mexicans have already lost the battle the countrys coated 19 mortality rate is well above average. The criminal toria are working flat out and theres a waiting list. Charlie cruzs life has also been turned upside down. But i think they try to do the maximum potential ive never had to deal with so many dead people before 6 bodies a day thats all the scrimmage torreon can manage. Relatives are given just 5 minutes to say goodbye. Then charlie cruise has to ask them to leave. Got off on the phone we had to harden our heart everything has to be done quickly the body cant stay here long. Its been weeks since hes had a break. If you have you have got its risky and im scared because i have a family and im afraid i might infect them with the 5 year. A relative must always confirm the deceased to avoid mistaken identity. I put in rages charlie cruz is that many mexicans deny the coronavirus exists believing that its all an elaborate government ruse. Been so why dont people switch on their brains if things continue like this i dont know when itll end not just that one. Mexico is starting to adjust to the new normal although the number of infections is still rising significantly. That varies diego october has been sleeping at a hotel for weeks and hasnt seen his daughter for a month. And i believe in soul mates were very connected but shes proud of me and im proud of her were together even when we dont see each other. Diego occur and the rest of the unit do their best to fight fatigue they want to continue for as long as it takes for at least as long as their strength. In europe many countries reacted to the corona pandemic by shutting down much of public life borders were closed face masks became mandatory and travel basically ceased falling infection rates appear to confirm the legitimacy of these measures sweden however chose a different strategy and many there hope that the controversial approach will pay all. In the long tanned. Summer has arrived inside to about a not far from stockholm banishing thoughts of a coronavirus pandemic at least for a moment but jessica and her family are convinced that the crisis is far from over. There will be a 2nd wave. This is not over yet. Sweden or anywhere else. The family contracted coronavirus early theyve recovered now and could be immune but the coronavirus are still affecting their lives jessica provides training for managers but theres little demand for back right now if you appointments she does still have she conducts Via Video Conferencing from home suddenly shes got a lot more time for her children and for books by the sea. Her husband frederick was the 1st to get the virus in mid march. It hit me on a thursday afternoon. Within just a few hours i came down with a really high temperature. And i spent 8 or 9 days in bed with a 40 degree fever it was exhausting i hardly coughed at all but i had a headache and bad pains everywhere. My wife had to look after me and the children. So my 5th. In sweden children from families with corona virus infections are permitted to continue going to school as long as theyre showing no symptoms themselves but other parents demanded that jessica keep her 3 kids out of school and this little less becoming a possible source of infection for others and suddenly becoming a social pariah was really ghastly. That it was awful that people were afraid about. Swedens approach to the pandemic has relied for the most part on voluntary compliance with precautionary measures most people are following the recommendations 20 minutes away in stucco the streets are empty many people are working from home voluntarily state epidemiology understatement wanted to avoid the kind of lockdown seen in other scandinavian countries instead heres a must to achieve a broad base of immunity. The virus will spread more slowly if more people in the population become immune no one disputes that many people have already become immune immunity will develop but the illness itself wont disappear completely. Technical believes that swedens population will be safe once 40 percent of people have acquired immunity against the virus the country my tweaks that point by late summer but without building up her immunity i do think that the long over on. Her fives may not be higher may actually be much longer i think the best estimate is some time around christmas or after christmas where we could have a vaccine ready and i do think the 2nd way it will hit us much earlier than that at present sweden is paying a high price for his controversial approach almost 5000. 00 people have died after contracting corona virus in per capita terms thats 4 times as many as in german. Care homes and densely populated immigrant districts have been hard hit techno now admits that mistakes have been made. He has lost her father despite typical symptoms the 62 year old was not tested for corona virus instead the doctor sent him home with cough syrup and antibiotics when he ended up in hospital days later it was too late dont think other governments have closed their countries. That may not have conducted in experiment with their citizens my father was a guinea pig. Because here they say that some peoples immune systems can deal with a virus and other peoples cant and dont want my fathers immune system clearly lost the battle. And some clot up. In her neighborhood many people appear to have got infected while attending church in the cemetery theres one fresh grave after another. This grave contains a couple who got infected with covert 19 they went to the same church as my father. And here there are others who died from the virus. Here is my fathers cousin and heres the grave of our pastors son. Is convinced that her father would not have died if theyd been in germany. But most swedes back the risky concept of herd immunity. There are some rules but a lot of things havent changed much. At the core of nothing but i understand that the rest of the world must find it strange that we arent wearing any masks and were outside laughing and enjoying ourselves but i think this is also important for our well being. Frederick and jessica are happy that they appear to have got coronavirus behind them and that life has remained fairly normal in sweden but they realize that others have paid a high price for the herd immunity strategy. So having me slick of metal bars our old folks are concerned there have been deaths and that is tragic but its good that we younger folk are able to live our lives relatively normally. In autumn its likely to become clear whether swedens singular approach will mean fewer deaths in the long run in comparison to the rest of europe. You know. The concept of race perpetuated to this day originated in the time of european colonialism over centuries europeans took control over much of africa and other regions in slaved around 12000000 africans and shipped them across the atlantic to work in brutal conditions this gross misuse of power created the illusion for many white people that they belonged to a superior race one which ruled the world even today such misconceptions remain anchored in the heads of many people along with a tendency to feel suspicious towards the unknown add to that an outside threat like the coronavirus and prejudice can really rise to the fore. It started in march victoria koori will noticed something had changed when she took public transport. First i thought i was imagining things i noticed people would look at my face and said elsewhere or i follow 3 of them just to make sure they werent just getting off the subway but theyd moved further down the train and were sitting in the bicycle carriage. Victoria koori which is german she is used to experiencing discrimination but once the 1st cases of covered 19 appeared here such incidents became more frequent. Although berlin is widely seen as a tolerant diverse city she encountered hatred. One man even told her. She should spray herself with disinfectant. I suppose because i feel like ive been keeping a low profile because im afraid of encountering hostility its a good i have to admit when i see a bunch of people outside a bar across to the other side of the street to avoid being hassled. Or does it. Im glad to be working from home these days because i sense that even though i live in berlin people dont see me as german. Social scientist now isnt surprised to hear that. In Discrimination Research were all too familiar with that question where do you come from i can be a german citizen i can hold a german passport and still find myself being asked this question because i dont look german underground what does not looking german mean clearly its based on fixed ideas about what germans are europeans should look like and its a sign that germany still doesnt see itself as a Plural Society because theyre. On facebook quick toria koori will contacted other people whove had similar experiences since the pandemic began there have been many reports of hostility towards people who might be for to look chinese. Hi i see you. From china and also lives in berlin hes filmed incidents of racial abuse hes experienced on the subway. And a friend just told me you should you should totally report it even though i dont have that much hope on the police but because i want to at least to show people that i have this evidence and not going to be silenced poor. Little child. Hunnam came and said jim lee also had a very nasty experience at night in the bergen subway a group of people shouting a Corona Corona party insulted them and was also sexually harassed on the platform one of them lashed out at. The police and couple called the police to report the offense we explained them the Police Officers explained them but they dont feel. That is racism. That is kind of a shock. The south Korean Embassy is also unhappy with how the police dealt with the case. The 1st thing we did was to speak to the Police Officers who were called out and we gave legal advice to the young couple. We also wrote on behalf of the consulate general to the Police Officer already as. We asked them to investigate the case both urgently and with the necessary care. To put through. Victoria also says it wasnt easy to get her voice heard that prompted her to create a website that helps bring people together and offer support. I think its important for people to be connected in this way during times of social distancing to share their experiences so others know whats going on she found others who wanted to get involved with her project they spent 6 weeks working from home on the website and now its gone online its called its been kind or im not a virus users can write about their experiences and find offers of help as well as positive responses the site has also attracted hate mail. When i get involved in activism or the kind of work were doing now its best to think about the next generation and our children and our fellow citizens so hopefully they wont have to experience such things. We have invested so much energy in working to counter racism we cant stop now. Could a wuis glad she took action. Object has definitely made me feel stronger weve gotten a lot of support from people we didnt know from people we got to know and from people we worked with its given us a good feeling. Racism is nothing new in germany and victoria couper a will fears it will be around long after the pandemic is over but shes determined to help people who are under attack feel less alone and helpless. Strong women changing the world as we know it on our Facebook Channel d. W. Women youll find stories about those taking a stand and inspiring others d. W. Women gives a voice to women everywhere. This week in global ideas we head to panama to the rain forest where the indigenous no bake people live many know by women cultivate cocoa trees using traditional organic methods this protects the trees and ensures the resulting chocolate tastes amazing. In the heart of the panamanian jungle lies the Chocolate Factory its owed by mavis ortiz under is very special because the chocolate it creates is made from organic sustainable cocoa found under fair conditions. I want to get the word out that chocolate is a candy cocoa is a plant that confers health and well being. That. Gets the book cocoa for her chocolate from a nearby village. In solid out dirty school in panama deltora province the inhabitants have preserved and ancient tradition. In accordance with the practice of their indigenous for this. They cultivate cocoa in the particularly green and sustainable manner of. Jungle clearing and plantations are nowhere to be seen nor do they use pesticides. Instead they grow cocoa in the middle of the jungle. Harvest some triacs and use them to build our timber house. That them all they had to grow various crops for food but i mean the able. And of course the cocoa we sell commercially. We use an agro forestry system we dont create monoculture cocoa plantations thats just not in keeping with our tradition. This is not that easy and i think that specialist mavis of teas was also convinced by the merits of the natural cultivation method so she decided to set up her on to his and all Chocolate Factory right next door 5 years ago she wanted to use the best possible organic so she decided to work with the Cocoa Farmers from solid that disco only their traditional cultivated cocoa grown in the heart of the jungle meets her requirements. Where all the soil is protected by leaves its healthier for people because no chemicals are used cocoa plants have a good yield and theyre cultivation is environmentally friendly when they get the right amount of shade neither too much nor too little. Being handed out on benefits. Besides cocoa bread flora also grow among the trees as well as plants used for medicinal and ritual purposes by the no grey the countrys largest indigenous people. But industrial cocoa cultivation is increasingly squeezing out the old methods agroforestry graduate mavis ortiz would like to help stop that thats why she regularly holds training sessions for Cocoa Farmers so they can further refine their cultivation methods and improve the quality of the beans. She liked it is that we actually knew would like to know how to choose the best branch for grafting particular spots upper west have made us our teas is particularly keen to support the female coco fall as she wants to provide them with an income of their own so theyre not solely dependent on their menfolk thats why she pays 60 percent above the going rate. Am jabezs if bang in b. C. The women are often unseen you dont hear them fade away of the house where they dont complain about working hard. I would like their work in cocoa farming and chocolate production to be more highly regarded i mean about yourself all of that goes down well with the women. But im also a little its important for us women to get organized. If we join together well really benefit at. Home may we look after our children and we feed them and educate them and this would allow us to earn more money to give us more opportunities. Parties processes the role cocoa anemia by thinker fust its left to ferment for several days and then it has to drawing. I provided them our grandpappy out things that water the beans are already becoming flavorful and this is when they start to taste like chocolate during this process and that i meant there were normally taste the cocoa beans after they have dried then you can tell if the harvest in the fermentation process were good for them and if they want is to eat a miniature and thats what mass his hair out isnt all chocolate business maya make a cow is trying to make a name for high quality local chocolate or t. Cells that online at trade fairs and other events and in Stores Across panama she wants to change the image of chocolate as just a sweet treat instead she sees it as a food packed with healthy ingredients and guess what thing that interests them then substances are found in the cocoa pod and if we want to retain the special qualities of cocoa then we have it with as little as possible whenever counsel me look when im in a car thats the message i want to spread and i have the feeling that its becoming more and more widely accepted that. My america car was not the only Chocolate Company that employs natural cultivation methods and despairing with its use of sugar. In the last 5 years several small panamanian businesses have set themselves the goal of making healthy high quality chocolate or teas has self. Enjoys chocolate most when its liquid. The most of the recall that when i drink this cup of hot chocolate i have the feeling wow you can taste where the cocoa comes from the farm that it comes from a core the characteristics of each individual cultivation so i look at the nameless and the former and i really savor as i would i appreciate that i recognize the potential of the cocoa produced by every family. Think of the end of the life for me i can approach most of. Them. Thats all from global 3000 this week thanks so much for watching do you have any feedback please write to us at global 3000 at g. W.
