Zug der Seuche - Das Coronavirus verändert die Welt | DW Dokumentation

a new virus has the world firmly under its control the virus when it gets hot let's hope it disappears miraculously some countries manage to protect their citizens others fail we are at war it's serious take it seriously it's a race against a deadly disease and competition between political systems johann will win cuba jokes china will win now we see that a strong state can also be useful sometimes you have to act without really having 100% reliable knowledge the history of the virus has to do with political responsibility and is always a story of his victims curve patient day 1 the 62 year old woman has fever and severe difficulty breathing she has the typical symptoms of pneumonia 39 days she will fight for her life the camera is not there every day some scenes are recreated a reconstruction based on the medical record what power of the unknown enemy in the body and where does the city of more than a million people come from where the rooster in central China this is where the deadly virus was first discovered, but is this really where?

Where are you from? China's political opponents will even later claim that it was bred in a laboratory or that it came from a market where wild animals were also traded; In reality, the virus spread to people here. It is only safe in December 2009. 10 doctors in. Johann was already fighting an unknown virus. In December we were informed of an increase in unexplained pneumonia in Doha. To clarify, we activate our networks. At first we thought it was a Bochum place with a single origin. In other similar outbreaks it would disappear again, but yes, he was not one of the first to warn about the virus.

It was he who, on December 30, informed his colleagues in a jet group that he had learned of a virus outbreak. it is saas there are seven confirmed cases sitting on the horn at the fish market they are isolated in the emergency room of our hospital an hour later alert a member of the group to be careful, otherwise our jet group could be closed She responded that it has now been confirmed that there are corona infections, but the exact virus is yet to be determined. Please do not spread this information outside of this group. Tell your loved ones to be careful.

It occurs as Johann's authorities fear. Silence his warnings. Lee is summoned by the police. and he has to sign that he has spread falsehoods. The family also spends valuable time from Libya, where Hannant didn't know then how dangerous the new virus is. At the beginning of January his father goes to the hospital for his annual check-up. -top At that time, all the news, all online media and video portals claimed that there was no human-to-human transmission and that the outbreak was preventable and controllable. Now he assumes that her father caught the virus during the routine. exam and that he still had a fever on January 15.

Life continues as normal in China, the New Year is just around the corner, millions of people travel across the country to visit their families. Meanwhile, Yucatán's father is already fighting for his life. life He is transferred to a clinic where corona patients are isolated every time I come. Then it brings back hellish memories: my father died on the twelfth floor of the building behind him, he died the night before, he says goodbye. to my mother by video, he is convinced that his father would not have had to die if Johann's authorities had raised the alarm earlier.

The virus is widespread in Johann, but the rest of the world, including Germany, is still busy with In Australia, due to the scorching heat, the wildfires seem to have no end. The Russian Prime Minister together with the WWF surprisingly announced his resignation. British Prince Harry and his wife Mergen will also renounce the title of Royal Highness. In the future, at the biotechnology company Cure only a few scientists have an idea of ​​what could happen in the world. After the Christmas holidays the first conversations began. and we said as soon as the sequence There is no harm in it, even if we decide otherwise later, Sir.

Let's start that day so we don't waste time. Their goal is to develop a vaccine against the new virus. It is the starting signal for a global scientific race for prestige and money. Also in Berlin, researchers immediately began developing the world's first test for the new corona virus. Shortly afterward it became clear that the scientists were right in what the Chinese authorities are now doing. Nothing has ever been done before to stop the spread of the new

coronavirus

. In several cities with a population of more than one million, around 60 million people in Hubei province can no longer travel.

Neighborhood committees control the curfew and food supply. China is a surveillance state. We already knew this before the

coronavirus

crisis. Now it has borne fruit because you are with us. The existing surveillance infrastructure was very specific and precise. Locomotives and shuttles dropped, the one-party dictatorship demonstrated its capacity for action and at the same time repressed its critics. On day 3, the 62-year-old woman's condition worsens rapidly, her breathing becomes increasingly weaker. being intubated and artificially ventilated the lungs are very inflamed on day 5 things are going up a little the patient reacts when the doctors talk to her the night shift notices a slight improvement trend have a good day ladies and gentlemen welcome to the Tagesschau the new corona virus Now the headquarters of the automobile supplier Webasto in Stockdorf has also arrived in Germany.

Here a German employee was infected with a colleague from China. We take the virus very seriously, but we can't worry too much, because there is no reason to worry too much. By the end of January, almost all corona cases in China will be recorded on the 31st. There are already isolated cases of almost 12,000 in other countries, but there has been little reaction. In mid-January, countries were told to take their plans to the pandemic. Pull out of the drawers and be prepared, something could happen and several countries have taken it seriously because they have already had this experience.

One of the few countries that is taking the virus seriously from the beginning is Taiwan Lindsay and is making sure the disease remains under control in her neighborhood. Hello, hello, hello, I'm the neighborhood leader, I'm coming to see how you are. The elected district mayor takes care of people who are not sick but in quarantine bring food and books. about a social care and control service in Taipei City in one was your temperature OK today about the number do you have a fever, cough or something else? No, nothing like that, then it should be fine. Yes.

Mr. Mario was in the US. That is why he now has to stay in his apartment for 14 days. The state gives me money for quarantine expenses. I can't leave my apartment because if his cell phone is outside, the police will immediately know from the people in quarantine that this waste is transported separately. of normal and burned household waste. Champion Renn was Taiwan's health minister when the so-called Sars epidemic hit the island in 2003. At that time, 73 people died here. I think we have been preparing for this corona pandemic for 17 years. After the Saa outbreak, we faced bird flu and swine flu, so the entire health system and also our disease protection authority were able to practice how to control a pandemic several times.

This includes Taiwan having created and maintained a buffer stock. Masks, unlike in many Western democracies, sales are controlled through pharmacies. Mask production massively increased a strict lockdown the likes of which has never happened here, a small democracy shows the rest of the world from the beginning that the virus can be kept under control until the end of. In August there are less than ten deaths here, but there is a one-year advantage. Don't catch up in a few weeks, while in Taiwan the infection routes are meticulously followed, in the West life goes on like this. In nine months. we will take back the House of Representatives and celebrate the Senate and the White House with a big gala in Berlin in the afternoon.

The festival of cinema, ostentatious glamor and world stars has already begun, as 330,000 spectators are expected over the next ten days at the Carnival Presidia on the banks of the Rhine The insane weather has reached its climax Carnival Monday in Cologne procession begins promptly at 10:00 a.m. Also in France, massive events continue to be held, the city is one of the largest evangelical churches in France. This community is becoming the center. There have been no religious services in Alsace for weeks. Samuel Peter Schmidt is the community pastor. It hurts my heart to see the church so empty.

It's especially difficult because I have these photos in front of me. For all to see, in mid-February a week of fasting is celebrated here with more than 2000 believers, one of the highlights of the year, daily services, prayer and singing together for hours. The atmosphere back then was, I would say, dramatically normal. Today in most of the world everything was fine when we celebrated the fasting week. It was a problem that only affected Asian countries. Believers are not the only ones who feel safe while celebrating the fasting week. and bathes in the crowd without distancing without a mask and without realizing it in the middle.

In February there is still normality. The policy allows large events without restrictions. Large events should have been banned much earlier in all countries. It is already late as the virus has been here for a long time and unsuspecting believers are spreading the word that thousands of infections are due to the multi-day religious service alone. China managed to level off the number of new infections already in February. The country will now be overtaken by European countries The countries are ordered according to deaths per million inhabitants, it is clear that Europe is the new center of the pandemic The corona virus continues to spread in Europe and is forcing more and more countries to take action drastic. measures.

France's fight against corona. The curfew should apply for at least 15 days. In Rome and throughout Italy, all shops are closed. Restaurants and cafes closed due to criticism of the state of Tyrol and, especially, the winter sports resort of Ischgl. We can overlay health protection, we assume that 40 to 50 percent of infections in Germany come ultimately and that a faster intervention by the Austrian authorities would have meant a completely different infection course for Germany. At the end of the school holidays, Germany also realized in mid-March that the virus does not stop at its borders. The country is not really ready yet.

It is March 7 when Marion Zech Ort travels to Switzerland with her family and friends. There are no forensic rules yet. Switzerland is considered risk-free. The whole family gets sick. In total, seven people do not know where they are. They did not get infected at the après-ski parties. sick and everyone was not feeling well and everyone had this bad symptom, so no one had a little itchy neck. That completely surprised us and also annoyed us on the way back. Husband and daughter have cough and pain at home, things. They are getting worse, especially for the 59-year-old man, but in Germany hardly any help is organized for the first infected.

Doctors cannot be contacted. No doctor came, there was some good advice on how to get there. the medicine didn't come what was supposed to come we were completely isolated here and things were very bad and I felt abandoned and I thought what if I think I thought more than if I die here now and I don't even know how bad I didn't go to the doctor and At some point I thought, "Okay, now the only option is to call an emergency doctor." I spoke to my sister again because our parents were very affected and they told me.

Call 112 now Marion Z is in the intensive care unit Pneumonia caused by the virus Only in March are health authorities and hospitals adequately preparing for the catastrophe Fear of the virus is now also growing in Germany It quickly becomes clear that the team of protection and there is a lack of masks There is no stock As recommended by the WHU for a pandemic, they relied on international trade routes where they said, well, if it runs out here then we can order it in China and in two it will be there on the plane. days and of course these delivery routes were purchased.

In Germany, science and politics have long doubted the benefits of masts. Everyone in public should wear a respiratory mask. The classic surgical mask that many use protects in a very manageable way. To formulate it like this and it is clear that these masks do not significantly prevent the spread of the virus, but the requirement for masks does not come until the end of April, when the first wave of corona has already subsided. . In Germany, more than 6,000 people have disappeared. The muuvit patient already died on the 9th. She is very well. Much worse, breathing continues to fail.

The doctors have hardly any experience in treating private patients, neither with her nor with others. We do not know the course of the disease. detail and then there is onlyWe have to run and somehow maybe we are at kilometer 22 Day 12 The doctors are surprised An additional bacterial superinfection spreads through the body The patient receives high doses of antibiotics The virus attacks more and more organs The kidney. gets worse The disease is unpredictable The federal and state governments have agreed on far-reaching measures to contain the spread of the corona virus There should not be a nationwide curfew, but in the future there will be an extremely strict contact ban to slow the spread of the corona virus, starting today most students and daycare children will remain at home for the time being.

Today the mayor announced that bars, nightclubs, cinemas and theaters will remain closed. Wealthy Germany has launched an aid package worth billions to bolster its healthcare system. Not only companies also receive financial support. Hospitals are also freeing up thousands of intensive care beds. Kogit Patient Attack There is almost no other healthcare system with such resources. We must also not forget that before the coronavirus crisis, Germany was often criticized for having too many hospitals, i.e. too many intensive care beds. The crisis as a weakness of the system actually turned out to be a strength in the crisis, as it proved to be useful in being able to react accordingly, the government is also increasing testing capabilities in order to control the spread.

I do not want to repeat the mistakes of France and Italy. That also has a little to do with luck. That is very clear and I think we were lucky that Italy showed up first, which of course was another red flag, especially for the population. And we were also lucky that they had the Bastuck truck and therefore already had experience with the virus. The federal government, led by physicist Angela Merkel, follows the advice. Experts and scientists are serious and are trying to overcome the crisis. The US is now the new coronavirus hotspot. In New York City, mass graves have to be dug.

Scientists also advise the US government, but they do not always manage to communicate unusual ideas and cause astonishment. among doctors and then there are disinfectants that extinguish the virus in the blink of an eye. Maybe you can inject it. So I'm fine with the vaccine and with the testing. If you want a test, you can get one too. There are enough of them and they are beautiful, but the president does not announce this promise. In New York City, testing is lacking when it is urgently needed. areas, but when it started here, we had tests that did not work, the world power USA, unlike its rival China, will not be able to control the virus until today.

Angry citizens in many parts of the country are speaking out against it. Corona restrictions and lockdowns There is no short-time allowance here, little state healthcare, unemployment in the US has tripled. People here often don't have health insurance. Many people have symptoms. Free trials are the only way to find it. know if you have the virus. As of mid-July, one in four corona tests in Arizona is positive. It's surprising how many people have to get tested. We were the last to close here and the first to reopen, that's a big deal. my neighbors complained that they had to wear masks and had their rights restricted, which was beyond ridiculous for fear of economic damage, not only did Arizona react late and then lift restrictions early, the result is that the number of people infected increases again that the rich United States cannot afford. long lures curves patient day 15 the doctor remembers so you have to use your entire medical repertoire, what you have learned and use and still let events overtake you again new symptoms life-threatening blood clots in the lungs an embolism anticoagulants that otherwise the work does not help the circulation is failing the relatives have been notified today the doctors know that this is very typical of Kuwaiti patients the virus attacks not only the lungs but also the blood vessels on the 22nd patient receives tracheostomy to save my For poorer countries, the pandemic is becoming an almost impossible task, for example in Nigeria, at night, during lockdown, the streets of Lagos are dangerous to protect them, residents have created a surveillance group, cases accumulate, people are alone.

The State is helplessly relaxed. We tried conventional health protection measures and then became more aggressive in tempting ourselves, but we quickly realized that this was impossible to implement in our conditions. However, everyone should stay home for 36 years. If possible, important events have been cancelled. Abdul Salam has not been able to work since the lockdown. He has no savings. The 36-year-old is a sound engineer and rents technology. Events, but everything is canceled due to Corona. After five weeks of confinement, he is desperate. I know that staying home and keeping distance is the best to fight against corona, but our government should support us with food so that we can.

Everyone survives in this pandemic. He lives in 27 square meters with his wife and his four children. To survive, we had to ask neighbors and family for food. The citizens here barely get any help. food sporadically. There are desperate fights for a little rice and bread. The lockdown in Nigeria has failed. I think it is important to look at people's living conditions and ask what the best measures are to prevent transmission. They are not just copying what has been done in other countries. What would really help these people would be a vaccine that they also have access to.

David Patients On day 27 after tracheostomy, the patient feels better again. today Put her in a chair She is awake Answer questions by nodding or shaking her head The dramatic ups and downs of the last three and a half weeks appear to be over Doctors are considering moving the 62-year-old woman to the regular ward in the coming days The tiny pathogen continues remaining unpredictable to this day. Researchers wonder if the virus really arrived in January, from where Hahn arrived in Europe, in Kolm, France, the Albert Schweitzer hospital. Here the head of radiology makes an interesting observation. discovery During the crisis, he had examined hundreds of Kowitz's patients.

The experiences of March and April came to mind. The idea is to review all the photographs from the summer of 2009 10 and look for atypical signs and he finds what it is. By searching on a lung image from November 16, you discover the typical signs of corona, especially here we also have this area that looks like frosted glass and you find another case on November 12 in December, the flu, we thought it was a strange case of the flu with fever pulmonary embolism pneumonia everything did not add up, then he performed antibody tests on these patients and they came back positive the radiologist's results coincide with the tests in other countries of the world There are indications that the virus was already spreading undetected at the end of autumn.

What we know is when the virus was first discovered, specifically in Hear, but perhaps it could have come from somewhere else, somewhere else in China or somewhere else, if it really first appeared on the market. Bonn. In the end, we don't know. that it now seems even unlikely that southern China or neighboring countries have spread the virus to people. Many scientists believe it, long before what was the starting signal for a global scientific career, because the more the pandemic progresses. It is increasingly clear that only a vaccine can stop the virus. The company Cure Weg from Tübingen is also in the running.

In this tank the vaccine is already produced in the strictest secrecy. To secure an advantage, the company began production. In April, initially on his own. Risk Mariola Foto from Leipzig made the right decision when he kicked off the development in January. Yes, everyone expects that the quantities in the dusty market will be available in a short time. With this syringe, the company's hope for big business lies in the hope of many people that the pandemic will end. About 30 vaccines are already being tested in people around the world. The active ingredient in Kovac must also be demonstrated in studies.

Try to vaccinate as many people as possible. so we can even talk about eradicating Kobe 19 and that will also be possible if many people around the world are really vaccinated, if it is only done at the local or national level, then it can be done. This accomplishes little, but states think of their own first. population, those who can afford it ensure the supply and the race for the vaccine becomes a race for political prestige and this is precisely an antiviral arms race that we are experiencing in the global race for power. The federal government is purchasing a vaccine against the Corona virus from the Tübingen biotechnology company Cure Weg The US government has doubled investments in the biotechnology company Moderne to the equivalent of 860 million euros.

The laboratories here in the country are fast, but in the rest of the world they have the ambition to do it. will be even faster than welcome this morning we were the first in the world to register a vaccine against the new corona virus Oracle shares without viral infections we have said it again and again that China is in favor and in the world in the development of a cupid 19 vaccine the virus has long been a political issue a new playing field in the power struggle between the us and china the one-party dictatorship in beijing has controlled the virus, at least for the moment rather than being in mode of crisis, China presents itself as a savior from the pandemic, sending protective and medical equipment around the world, let's together protect the lives and health of people in all countries.

On the other hand, the virus continues to wreak havoc. The leaders in Washington are relentlessly open. The country is busy with itself and others are always to blame for China's cover-up; The Johann virus has spread throughout the world. China has full control over the WHU. end our cooperation with the World Health Organization. The gap left by the US will try to close it. In the competition between world powers, the Chinese dictatorship is making a name for itself as it will gain popularity after this crisis. that China manages to keep the number of corona deaths low and minimize the economic damage and does so.

Many will say, oh look, our chaotic democratic systems are too slow, they are too weak, Cupid's patient, day 35 on this day. the camera is there in the situation the 62 year old man has good kidneys and liver failure why the doctors don't know when he turns 19 the doctors are always learning new things you feel a little behind You were fouled in football, actually you are good, but run towards the target and then someone comes from behind and claps, you can't go as far as possible, it is this in liver failure that is brilliant at the moment, so why the program now ?

There is definitely something to risk, take it on day 38. the abdominal vessels are inflamed the doctors have never seen anything like this before more and more organs are failing now nothing helps the fight against the virus is being lost day 39 10 a.m. 2 62-year-old man dies from multiple organ failure eight months have passed The outbreak has passed and the world continues to reel from the crisis in Taiwan. So far, the democratic government has maintained control. In Germany, the numbers are increasing again, like many others. -Long-term consequences: You have problems with breathing and your sense of taste. When I see how carelessly some people treat it now, then I would like to honestly say that I would like to make them think that things can turn out completely differently. and you don't know how you will feel if you have this disease Nigeria the lockdown has been lifted so far the catastrophe If scientists are not baffled, it may be because of China's young population After filming with the ARD, Leo Payen.

He was pressured by the police not to give any more interviews. The state government once again reports slight economic growth in the second quarter of 2020. In the United States, the economy is mired in crisis. Trump's handling of the virus could decide the November election. More than 20 million infected and hundreds of thousands of dead around the world. about it for a long time
