Well i think the 1st priority must be what the w. H. O. Has told us over just to suppress the virus this is the 1st line of defense and much of the work of the United Nations<\/a> of the International Community<\/a> right now must be focused on helping countries to 1st of all be able to stabilize their Health System<\/a>s and to have that Health System<\/a>s response in place secondly and these are the programs that are urgently needed is to provide fiscal means governments need money right now 1st of all to respond to the Health Crisis<\/a> but secondly are also to an unfolding social and human and economic in Development Crises<\/a> and this means having Resources Available<\/a> with which to finance mitigating measures Cash Transfer<\/a> programs being able to stabilize local parts of the economy and as you also said countries very often are confronted with even the consequences of the virus somewhere else in the world take small island developing states many of them rely on tourism tourism has imploded very often thats 304050 percent of the g. D. P. Of these nations this is economic collapse but i mean what youre describing here is really that we have to give a helping hand to each other even though were affected by this condemning ourselves and this at a time when multilateralist is he is weakened and people have become more instinct theres more nationalism around do you think that this is weakened our ability to give a Global Response<\/a> to this crisis. Well perhaps in the 1st reflex there is a tendency to look after oneself and this is understandable it is natural and i think every country is confronted with unprecedented challenges right now but this virus has taught us one thing and that is that it is a Global Pandemic<\/a> that can only succeed in controlling and ultimately overcoming this or that by working together there is no go it alone solution and therefore the ability of richer nations also step up right now 1st of all through the kinds of measures that have been proposed through the International Monetary<\/a> fund but also looking at issues of debt relief and debt cancellation in order to allow countries aat 7 in need of help not to have to use the funds that they receive from the international need to pay off debt is right now there is a need for massive investment in developing countries it will rely on the richer part of the world but it is also in our current interest because even from our perspective economic recovery the markets into which industrialised nations will sell off this pandemic on the markets of also the developing world so there is a common interest in enlightened self interest as much as the need for solidarity right now in order to massively round up this support because otherwise we will not only see the economic collapse there are social geopolitical consequences that i think none of us have either considered so far clearly enough and the need urgent attention right help others to help ourselves basically i think steiner the head of the United Nations<\/a> Development Program<\/a> in new york thank you so much for your time. Now time for your questions questions you sent us on you tube twitter and facebook email as always our resident corona expert Derek Williams<\/a> stands ready to provide some answers. Are fake talent he writes of code with 19 related to blood types. Im not aware of any studies looking at faith tally rates and blood groups for covert 19 but but this is a really interesting question because what other types of viruses blood types have been shown to affect susceptibility to infection as well as severity of outcomes though we still dont know exactly why a recent preliminary study carried out by chinese researchers did indeed discover what they think are some connections between blood type and susceptibility to the new coronavirus it says people with blood group a did indeed seem to be more likely to catch it than other groups while blood group otoh appeared less likely to get it that data is still unconfirmed but if its correct it could have an impact later in clinical practice but the differences if there are there are unlikely to be really major. What risk could cope with 19 posed to pregnant women and their unborn children. If youre pregnant or have a newborn these days im sure youre probably frightened even more than the rest of us the w. H. O. Has a question and answers page dedicated to you some of the Key Takeaways<\/a> though are that 1st there is currently no evidence that pregnant women are at higher risk of severe illness than anyone else so the precautions they should take are simply the same as those were all taking we still dont know if a pregnant woman can pass the virus along to her baby durant. Pregnancy or delivery but the w. H. O. Also recommends prioritizing pregnant women with symptoms for testing as they may need special care if they have the disease and finally it says women with coded 1900 can breast feed if they wish to but they should wear a mask if one is available they should wash their hands before and after touching the baby and also regularly disinfect surfaces in the household.
