00:11It appears without warning and spreads like wildfire.
00:22Emerging in 2019, the new coronavirus is very unusual because its transmission seems much easier among us, between
00:31individuals.
00:32Since its discovery in Wuhan, the capital of China's Hubei province, in late 2019, the virus has already killed...
00:41thousands of people and infected hundreds of thousands more worldwide.
00:47For every person affected, it seems we will have up to three or perhaps even four others who will also be affected.
00:58On the first day of the Chinese New Year, it was chaos. Many people arrived, and they were very worried.
01:09Wuhan and other cities are placed under quarantine in a desperate attempt to contain the spread of the virus.
01:18Nearly 500 million residents are, in practice, isolated from the outside world.
01:25I cried a lot because I was really worried. The epidemic must be very serious, since they were isolating the city.
01:36What exactly is the new coronavirus that emerged in 2019?
01:41Can the spread of this highly contagious disease be stopped?
01:48What is the new coronavirus that has emerged from?
02:14A climate of fear grips Wuhan, the capital of the Chinese province.
02:23Many want to know if they will be the next victims and, if so, when?
02:31They also face the possibility of losing loved ones to a mysterious and deadly virus, spreading chaos throughout the city.
02:44In just a few months, the coronavirus killed thousands of people.
02:50The disease infects hundreds of thousands at an astonishing rate, becoming a new global pandemic.
03:00The novel coronavirus of 2019 is very unusual.
03:04We learned about SARS and we were able to control SARS in about six to nine months worldwide.
03:12Which was actually incredible.
03:15Looking at the numbers, we had eight thousand, ten thousand patients in total.
03:20And this went on for several months.
03:23But, looking at what is happening with the new coronavirus of 2019,
03:28We see very large numbers that have increased rapidly in just over a month.
03:38It all begins at the height of winter, in December 2019.
03:43Without fanfare, a deadly situation unfolds in the city of Wuhan.
03:48when some people are affected by a mysterious illness that causes fever and cough.
03:55In Wuhan, a very unusual, atypical viral infection emerged.
04:01And, in clinical terms, it was what we would call atypical viral pneumonia.
04:07That's what we would call it.
04:09Typically, the patient complains of fever, headache, a slight cough, and muscle pain.
04:15It seems like an illness similar to the flu.
04:17But we know something is wrong.
04:19Because the chest x-ray gives an abnormal result.
04:23And many of the tests for the influence come back negative.
04:27And for other groups as well.
04:29And we see groups of people presenting with the same disease.
04:34Everyone following the same pattern.
04:38Chinese authorities identified the first patient to present symptoms on December 8, 2019.
04:46Therefore, a handful of cases can turn into dozens.
04:51Two of the first patients worked at the Huanan seafood market in Wuhan.
05:00The seriousness of the problem soon becomes clear when previously harmless symptoms cause the first death.
05:07On January 9, 2020, the mysterious virus killed a 61-year-old man.
05:14A regular at the market.
05:19Initially, the investigations seemed to show that most of the few cases they had pointed to that specific area.
05:30from the market where the trade in wild animals took place.
05:34Based on this information, the virus appeared to be somehow originating from wild animals.
05:44The transmission could be between species, because the animals are all kept together in cages.
05:49And it's a good way for the virus to jump from one species to another.
05:53And from there, they could, say, jump species barriers and infect humans.
06:02China alerted the World Health Organization about a mysterious viral epidemic in Wuhan on December 21.
06:10When the WHO declared the epidemic a global emergency on January 29, the virus was already everywhere.
06:1831 Chinese provinces and in more than 25 countries in Asia, Europe and North America.
06:26When I see the story, when I read about it, I feel a sense of déjà vu.
06:32It's very, very similar to the SARS outbreak we had in 2003.
06:38And indeed, the number of cases increased, and suddenly there was an explosion of cases.
06:46There are frightening similarities between the 2019 novel coronavirus epidemic and the SARS outbreak in 2002.
06:54At the time, SARS spread throughout the region, infecting approximately 8,000 people and killing 774.
07:03When the new outbreak is detected, Chinese authorities deny that it is the SARS virus, Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome.
07:11Grave, from 2002.
07:14Subsequent findings reveal that the most recent outbreak is caused by a coronavirus with a 76% genetic similarity.
07:22with regard to the SARS coronavirus.
07:25The difference is that, compared to SARS, it appears to be less lethal, although much more contagious.
07:34For every person affected, it seems we will have up to 3, or perhaps even 4, others who will also be affected.
07:43So, if we have 6,000 patients, we could have at least another 20,000 or 30,000 people affected.
07:52And these are conservative estimates, because the numbers are probably much higher than that.
07:59The novel coronavirus of 2019 is very unusual because its transmission seems much easier among us, between individuals.
08:08So, when we get close enough to talk, we can spread the virus.
08:13Unlike SARS.
08:18Preliminary studies suggest that the incubation period of the virus, that is, from the moment of exposure until the appearance of symptoms...
08:26symptoms,
08:27It takes 5 to 7 days.
08:30It is likely that patients or carriers of the virus can infect other people.
08:36even when they are asymptomatic, showing no signs of the disease.
08:44We had asymptomatic infections and mild infections.
08:49So, we learned that contagion could occur even during the incubation period.
09:00The situation is different in the case of SARS, which appears to have lower infection rates.
09:07Infectious disease specialist Dr. Leong Ho Nan is very familiar with the deadly virus.
09:14After all, he himself was a SARS patient.
09:17He contracted the virus in 2003 while treating a patient who had arrived in Singapore from Hong Kong.
09:23SARS patients were infected in the second half of the disease cycle, after the first 7 days.
09:32In other words, if I got sick, I could isolate myself for the first 7 days.
09:38And in practice, to prevent the transmission of the virus to other people.
09:42But the new coronavirus of 2019 is different.
09:46We can find the virus in people who have no symptoms.
09:50And even China's own health minister declared that these asymptomatic individuals,
09:58These individuals, without any symptoms, can infect other people.
10:03And we don't even need to wait for symptoms to appear after 7 days.
10:07The disease can spread even before that happens.
10:12This allows the virus to spread rapidly across huge areas with many, many inhabitants.
10:20And that's why we're seeing unprecedented numbers of infection spread.
10:30Coronaviruses are common in many animal species, such as camels, cattle, civets, and bats.
10:41Occasionally, viruses mutate and pass from animals to humans.
10:48This surge became clear in the case of SARS in 2002 and Middle East Respiratory Syndrome, or MERS, in 2008.
10:562012.
10:57And now with the new coronavirus of 2019.
11:02After all, the possible ground zero of the epidemic, the recently closed seafood market in Wuhan,
11:09It regulated the trade and consumption, both legal and illegal, of exotic animals.
11:17The cages are not cleaned and feces are left to roam freely.
11:23So you end up breathing in the virus, which has already adapted to the animals that are there.
11:30and that one day it will adapt to the humans with whom it lives, coming into contact with them.
11:36One day the ideal mutation will occur, in which the recipient will adapt well to the human body.
11:44allowing transfer from person to person.
11:48But what specific animal was it, and where did it come from?
11:53This kind of thing is something that will take us some time to figure out.
11:57It also took us a while to find out, in the case of SARS, about 10 months.
12:02If I'm not mistaken, then this is still going to take quite a while.
12:07The situation is evolving very rapidly.
12:10The virus is getting stronger, so the number of infections is expected to increase.
12:16So I think we should prepare ourselves psychologically for something worse than SARS.
12:26How are ordinary people reacting?
12:28And what about the healthcare professionals working on the front lines?
12:33The nurses neither ate nor drank anything during their shift.
12:37I was very worried.
12:39I woke up at four in the morning and saw the news about the lockdown in Wuhan.
12:43I called my mother immediately, and as soon as I started talking, I couldn't stop crying.
12:53In mid-January 2020, the number of reported cases of people infected with the new coronavirus in China begins
13:01shooting.
13:04Hospitals are facing difficulties in caring for people who may have contracted the deadly virus.
13:11Resources are also scarce, with the number of patients with fever and respiratory difficulties increasing every day.
13:23As nurses, we cannot shirk our duty.
13:29We didn't eat or drink anything during that shift.
13:35The entire medical team gave up the Chinese New Year holiday and has been working every day.
13:39I have been working 10 to 12 hours a day.
13:42But it's nothing serious for the doctors.
13:44We are used to working hard.
13:46This is a very big problem.
14:16Regarding the serious epidemic, she immediately volunteered with the Department of Infectious Diseases.
14:23Although she has no training in dealing with infectious diseases, she doesn't let it faze her.
14:30She feels compelled to help her colleagues, who are lost amidst the crowd of people seeking assistance.
14:39Since there were only three nurses dealing with patients with fever, they needed help from the other nurses in the hospital.
14:51When she learns about the viral epidemic, the Chinese New Year holiday is just a few days away.
14:58Many hospital employees are already on leave.
15:01This contributes to the shortage of healthcare professionals.
15:05And it's only a matter of time before chaos takes hold in an already deteriorating situation.
15:11quickly.
15:15The first day of the Chinese New Year was chaotic.
15:19Many people arrived and they were worried.
15:23My shift was from eight in the morning until four in the afternoon.
15:27More than a hundred people showed up.
15:30Not all of them needed medical attention.
15:33About eighty patients needed to see a doctor.
15:38Although some people had no symptoms, they came to the hospital anyway.
15:45They were motivated by fear.
15:47They feared they had been exposed to infected people on buses or trains.
15:53That's why they asked to be examined.
15:58All hospital resources are working at their limit.
16:02Many videos are being shared on social media about what is happening in Chinese hospitals.
16:10And as a healthcare professional, I pray for the healthcare professionals in China.
16:17Because they are in a very difficult situation.
16:20And you can see the fatigue and exhaustion on their faces.
16:24And they don't know if they'll be able to hold out for another day.
16:28Joe is facing emotionally difficult times.
16:32Including when it becomes necessary to separate a child who has been infected with the virus from their parents.
16:38But she needs to be firm for the safety of her family.
16:44There was a child whose parents had returned from Wuhan.
16:52The adults had no symptoms.
16:57But the child had a fever.
17:00When the child developed a fever, we asked the parents not to stay in that ward.
17:11Only the grandmother was allowed to care for the child and remain inside.
17:18It was a very difficult situation for all of us.
17:22It was painful to separate them.
17:25But it was for their safety and for our safety as well.
17:32January 20th is a crucial day for how authorities handle the viral epidemic.
17:39Four weeks after the virus emerged, authorities still insist that it was confined to animal vectors.
17:48On this day, however, the renowned and respected Chinese epidemiologist, Dr. Zhongnan Shan, drops the bombshell.
17:57In a TV interview, he confirms cases of human-to-human transmission of the deadly coronavirus.
18:04This dramatically alters how China is handling the epidemic.
18:10In a bold and unprecedented move, China has declared the city of Wuhan, with a population of 11 million, a foreign territory.
18:17people under quarantine.
18:20All roads leading to the city are blocked and public transport is suspended.
18:26The lockdown has been extended to several Chinese provinces, affecting the lives of millions of people.
18:33The Chinese government has at least tried to restrict the entry and exit of people from many provinces.
18:39Travel to and from China has been reduced, which has helped to contain the flow of people.
18:45They also extended the Chinese New Year holiday period.
18:48In situations like this, when there is an epidemic, mass hysteria can cause more problems than anything else.
18:54So it would have been better if they had released the information sooner.
18:57I think it's an excellent strategy.
18:59And I think that would only be possible in China.
19:04Nevertheless, many Wuhan natives remain concerned about the fate of their relatives trapped in the city.
19:13Liu Uyuan, 22, is one of them.
19:16She has been working in Beijing for a year and was eager to return to Wuhan and celebrate the New Year with
19:21The family.
19:25But the long-awaited return home was delayed when news emerged confirming human-to-human transmission.
19:33When she received a call from her mother, asking her not to return to Wuhan, Liu was devastated.
19:40She could hardly wait to spend New Year's at home, after a year away from her family.
19:49After Dr. Zhong Nanshan's interview on TV, when he said that human-to-human transmission was possible,
19:55My mother called me.
19:57I will never forget.
19:59She asked me not to come back.
20:00I was very confused.
20:29She is spending New Year's alone in Beijing.
20:32But this doesn't reassure her, as she continues to think about the safety and well-being of her parents.
20:40We have two video calls a day, at noon and in the evening, during mealtimes.
20:47I see what they are eating and how they are doing.
20:51And I check if they left the house.
20:55I woke up at four in the morning from a nightmare and was very worried.
21:00And when I woke up, I saw the news about the quarantine.
21:05I called my mother immediately.
21:07As soon as I started talking, I started crying.
21:11I cried because I was very scared.
21:14The epidemic must have been serious if they were isolating the city.
21:18At the time, I asked my mother.
21:20And now, do you have enough provisions?
21:23I had read that people were trying to flee the city, and my mother said she wasn't going.
21:29Nowhere.
21:30She was going to stay home.
21:32First of all, it became clear that the contagion before the lockdown was unprecedented and spread very quickly.
21:43Secondly, many people were getting sick and they were going to leave Wuhan to celebrate the Chinese New Year in
21:52other places.
21:53Therefore, the spread would be even greater.
21:57So, what the Chinese government did was correct.
22:01It was the best attitude.
22:02It seems very cruel.
22:06It seems unimaginable.
22:08But it was the best option.
22:12When SARS spread in 2002, the world was caught off guard by the virus's lethality and speed.
22:19propagation.
22:21Today, the speed at which the novel coronavirus of 2019 is spreading is equally alarming.
22:29On December 31, 2019, a few days after the World Health Organization was alerted to the potential outbreak...
22:39of a mysterious virus in Wuhan,
22:41Countries are responding by strengthening their internal defenses against the potential spread of the virus.
22:49Singapore, for example, has adopted thermal monitoring at airports for all passengers arriving from Wuhan.
22:57And then, ban all Chinese and foreign visitors who have recently been to China.
23:04Today, countries on almost every continent have taken similar actions.
23:09closing its borders to foreign visitors from China,
23:13Meanwhile, the number of cases outside of China continues to rise.
23:18There are hundreds of thousands of confirmed cases of the new coronavirus in hundreds of countries and territories.
23:27There are many problems, but international travel is one of the biggest.
23:31Because, you know, even if you say, we're not going to receive people coming from China,
23:36We already have many people affected outside of China.
23:39And these people continue traveling.
23:42So, we remain vulnerable.
23:45This means that we have many asymptomatic people around the world.
23:49who do not show symptoms and can transmit the virus.
23:54And we still don't know how infectious and contagious it is.
24:00Painful memories of SARS have left their mark on two Asian cities.
24:04Singapore and Hong Kong.
24:06They were the most affected by the respiratory illness outside of mainland China.
24:13There were 299 deaths in Hong Kong and 33 in Singapore.
24:18But the painful experience helps the region deal with the deadly new virus more efficiently.
24:25The people of Hong Kong were great.
24:29Hong Kong's administrators knew what to do.
24:32They did not hesitate to close schools, declare emergencies, and quarantine individuals.
24:39And in Singapore, which I know very, very well,
24:44We have annual training sessions for viruses like SARS.
24:49We've been preparing for this for 16 years.
24:54Therefore, we are ready for the new coronavirus of 2019.
25:02We have stacks of books with defined protocols on what to do if you get sick.
25:07What to do if you don't stay, where to find the quarantine areas,
25:11where people should rest, where to get extra labor,
25:15What happens when schools close?
25:17What happens if nobody can work?
25:19Where does the additional workforce come from?
25:22All the questions had already been answered long before this epidemic.
25:29Dr. Yuji Ziyan is the chief physician of the infectious diseases department at a hospital in Shenzhen.
25:37When he learns about the mysterious virus, he is caught off guard.
25:44I was with my colleagues at the office and we read about the outbreak on the internet.
25:49We were very surprised.
25:52At the time, it seemed like just another infectious disease.
25:56We didn't expect it to spread.
26:00So, he assembles an emergency team at the hospital, recruiting volunteers from other departments.
26:08I am a member of the response team and also the organizer.
26:13To combat this epidemic, the departments that handle cases of infections and fevers are not sufficient.
26:22Another innovative strategy of Dr. Yuji Ziyan is to create a telemedicine unit.
26:27The idea is to provide important information for people who don't know if they are sick.
26:33In addition to reducing the workload on hospital staff, caused by the ever-increasing number of hospitalizations.
26:41We assessed the demand and created an online information platform.
26:46Through this online service, we can better serve our patients.
26:51Yesterday alone, more than 1,600 people consulted with us.
26:55The online platform is more convenient for patients and can help reduce public concern about the new [virus/system].
27:02coronavirus.
27:08Since the coronavirus outbreak, we have been receiving more patients at our hospital.
27:17Doctors are under a lot of pressure.
27:25That's why we quickly launched this platform, to provide information about the epidemic.
27:34We can respond here or by phone.
27:40By cell phone, we can respond at any time, even after work hours or during lunch breaks.
27:47We leave work at six o'clock, for example, but we can respond from home, by phone.
27:55Actually, lately we've been working until nine or ten at night.
28:03Official consultations end at ten.
28:06But if we are free, we can continue responding after ten o'clock or until midnight.
28:20The pediatric nurse volunteered to undergo emergency training so she could help patients affected by the new disease.
28:28respiratory.
28:32The training is good.
28:34I'm a nurse in the pediatric ward, but I've already received eight training sessions on this new type of pneumonia.
28:43From the new year until now, the training has been constant.
28:47I attended many training sessions.
28:51One of the hospital's priorities is to prevent healthcare professionals from becoming infected.
28:59China's efforts to expand treatment and containment measures also include the construction of two new hospitals.
29:07in Wuhan.
29:09They are completed in less than two weeks.
29:12Authorities summoned thousands of workers during the Chinese New Year holiday.
29:17paying double or triple the salary.
29:20And they worked 24 hours a day building the two hospitals, which offer 2,500 beds.
29:27But many challenges remain.
29:30At the heart of the containment strategy is understanding what doctors call the pyramid.
29:38At the top of the pyramid, we have the people who exhibit symptoms.
29:43And right below them, we have the people who are a little less symptomatic.
29:48And finally, we have a huge asymptomatic group at the base of the pyramid.
29:54So, to understand how to contain the disease, it's necessary to know the entire pyramid.
30:00Because if you only focus on the tip of the iceberg, you'll be hit by what's underneath.
30:07Medicine tells us that, with limited resources, we must treat the sickest patients.
30:14So, the sickest patients are hospitalized; they are at the top of the pyramid.
30:18And we are only treating about 10-20% of the total number of patients.
30:24And all the rest, the 80%, we're not seeing, we're not treating, we're not quarantining.
30:32Instead, those 80% are returning to the population, where they can, in turn, infect others.
30:40What we're not seeing is the base of the pyramid, which could easily be 40 times larger than the...
30:49which we are seeing now.
30:51She is responsible for the active spread of the virus.
30:57After the World Health Organization declared the novel coronavirus outbreak a global emergency,
31:04The international reaction is swift.
31:07All flights to and from Wuhan and Hubei province are cancelled.
31:12And citizens are advised to cancel non-essential travel to China.
31:19Dozens of nations, including Indonesia, the Philippines, Japan, South Korea, New Zealand, France, Türkiye, and the United States,
31:28They are rushing to evacuate their citizens from the city of Wuhan, while China struggles to control the outbreak.
31:38Should China be blamed for the new epidemic?
31:42During the 2003 SARS outbreak, the government took about four months to warn the world about the
31:48The seriousness of the crisis.
31:51He was then accused of withholding information and covering up the facts.
31:56In the current epidemic, the government takes about a month to respond after the first case is reported, in
32:03December 8, 2019.
32:05On January 12, Chinese scientists identified the virus as the novel coronavirus, similar to SARS.
32:14Then, the government demonstrates agility and political will to control and contain the outbreak.
32:21The Chinese government has at least tried to restrict the entry and exit of people from many provinces.
32:27Travel to and from China has been reduced, which has helped to contain the flow of people.
32:33They also extended the Chinese New Year holiday period.
32:36These measures offer some room for optimism.
32:39There are also signs that the Chinese government has taken some correct measures.
32:44I think we need to discuss the cause of the problem, to find out what emerging or re-emerging disease it is.
32:50And to understand the dynamics and nature of its transmission to the human species.
32:57Where exactly did we go wrong?
33:00Why do we allow wild animals and humans to come into contact?
33:07We have to stop this.
33:11With the spread of the new coronavirus, there is a growing fear that deadly pathogens or viruses
33:18They can mutate and become even more efficient killers.
33:30The first case of the novel coronavirus was discovered on December 8, 2019.
33:36And after the first few months, the streets of normally bustling Chinese cities are silent and deserted.
33:47Now, these strange scenes are becoming increasingly common in the country.
33:51Growing fear of the coronavirus is turning once-dull metropolises into ghost towns.
34:03Many people are staying home, isolating themselves.
34:06Many parks and public attractions are closed.
34:09I stay home all the time, I hardly ever go out.
34:13Liu's reaction is the same as that of many Chinese people.
34:18The fear of catching the virus is forcing many people to avoid public places and outdoor activities.
34:28I don't leave the house, so I haven't experienced any prejudice.
34:34When I called my mother, she told me not to speak in the Wuhan dialect.
34:39People may avoid you or they may distance themselves from you.
34:47However, she is more concerned about the situation of her parents and friends.
34:53Despite all precautions, they know that it may be impossible to avoid contact with the virus.
35:00not knowing if and when they will be affected.
35:06I sense that they are worried, but as parents, they don't want to show it to me.
35:14Most of the worrying news and information comes from my friends.
35:19Some of them returned from vacation early, so they are already in Wuhan.
35:25They either stayed in Wuhan studying or working.
35:29And our communication is more direct and realistic.
35:33They tell me what they are feeling.
35:35They are nervous and worried.
35:38They can't get a taxi.
35:40But, like my parents, it's always
35:42We're fine, everything's alright, there's no need to worry.
35:49The truth is that the residents of Wuhan remain gripped by fear and anxiety.
35:57Despite all the efforts of the authorities to contain the virus,
36:01The death toll continues to rise.
36:07Meanwhile, the scientific community is racing against time.
36:12to try to produce a vaccine that can help prevent the disease from spreading further.
36:19Is there a chance that an effective vaccine will be found soon?
36:26The good news regarding the new coronavirus is that
36:30We can leverage existing knowledge about the SARS coronavirus vaccine.
36:36and apply the same principles to the novel coronavirus of 2019.
36:42What they need to do now is create the vaccine.
36:46which is relatively easy to grow
36:49And, in the meantime, show that the vaccine does exactly what it was designed to do.
36:54Therefore, the prototypes would have to be manufactured in large quantities.
36:58so that we can offer them to a large number of people.
37:04The bad news is that, according to experts,
37:08Creating and producing a vaccine against the new coronavirus will take months.
37:14She will have to undergo several clinical trials.
37:16before it is ready for use in time to combat the epidemic.
37:22This will take nine to twelve months.
37:26Even if the vaccine were created now,
37:29at this very moment,
37:31We would need several months to produce it in quantity.
37:36We're talking about several million doses.
37:38for the population of China,
37:41for the population of Asia and for the rest of the world.
37:44And that will take time.
37:48Meanwhile, in the absence of an effective and widely available vaccine,
37:54Immediate preventive measures need to be applied aggressively.
37:59China has banned the popular wildlife trade.
38:02until the end of the health crisis.
38:05And the international scientific community
38:07has been appealing for the ban to be permanent.
38:13This is, in a way, what happened after SARS.
38:16Just look at the wildlife trade.
38:21You know, if more things had been done,
38:24seven, fifteen, seventeen years ago,
38:27Maybe, well, it's impossible to change history.
38:29Humans and these animals were not made to coexist.
38:34Viruses like this exist in nature.
38:37When you create a situation in which human beings
38:40and also wild animals end up living together for a long period of time,
38:47These things can happen.
38:49And I think we're playing with fire.
38:52We tend to eat anything that flies, swims, or crawls.
38:56And when we bring these animals to the dinner table,
39:01We carry their viruses with us.
39:04Perhaps you don't come into contact with it when you eat.
39:07because they will have been destroyed by the cooking process.
39:11But the boss, while preparing it, the animal's breeder,
39:15the market vendor who has to deal with those animals,
39:19They will invariably be exposed to viruses.
39:22That's what we saw with SARS in 2003.
39:26In 2003, we discovered that the animal breeders
39:31They had found a form of SARS,
39:34a variant of SARS, before the other form emerged.
39:38So, they developed immunity to SARS.
39:42One way to combat this is to do what the Chinese government did.
39:46To prevent exotic animals from ending up on the dinner table.
39:50Perhaps we need to rethink what we eat.
39:56While the battle against the virus continues,
39:59There are still uncertainties and questions.
40:01that need to be answered regarding the coronavirus.
40:05For example, how lethal is this virus outside of China?
40:09What will the consequences be for the future?
40:12How infectious will it be in a few months?
40:15The coronavirus, which is spreading with alarming speed in China,
40:19It is now a global pandemic.
40:22The truth is that so far the virus has killed thousands of people.
40:29The statistics have already surpassed those of SARS.
40:32both in terms of the number of fatalities,
40:34how many confirmed cases in a much shorter period.
40:38Still, there is hope that the worst is about to pass.
40:43It's just a matter of how and when that will happen.
40:52For those on the front lines of the battle against the novel coronavirus,
40:57The risk is even greater than previously imagined.
41:00given the scale of the epidemic.
41:04Even so, nurses like Zhou believe that China will turn the tide.
41:09And the war will be won sooner or later.
41:15I am confident because the preventive measures have been implemented.
41:24Everyone is wearing a mask on public transport.
41:27in supermarkets and gated communities.
41:34This prevents the virus from spreading.
41:41Many people are isolating themselves.
41:46Many parks and public attractions are closed.
41:51From this point of view, I am quite confident.
41:56As a native of Wuhan, I think we did the right thing.
42:00And we showed determination by isolating the city.
42:05I understand that other cities, like Renan,
42:10They acted quickly and efficiently to control the epidemic.
42:15So, I believe the government reacted very well.
42:22In the long run, when the dust settles,
42:25A great deal of self-reflection will be necessary.
42:30It seems that, as long as humans and animals live together in such close proximity,
42:35Future outbreaks of infectious diseases are likely to occur.
42:41The virus began spreading in China in December 2019.
42:46And nobody knows when the epidemic will reach its peak and lose strength.
42:50We can only hope that it will be soon.
42:55At best, we may start to see a drop in the numbers.
43:02But I haven't seen that yet.
43:04We can only begin to discuss this when we see the numbers actually falling.
43:08Currently, the number of cases is only increasing.
43:10And the number of dead too, of course.
43:13So, unless we see these numbers stabilize,
43:16We cannot predict what will happen in the region.
43:20This will continue for quite some time.
43:22We are resilient.
43:24Without a doubt, we will lose some comrades, relatives, loved ones.
43:30But the world will emerge from this stronger.
43:33The world will be a better place.
43:35It is not?
43:35Let's remember those who have passed away.
43:38But with these memories,
43:40We will prevent further deaths from happening.
43:46The world will be a better place.
