Doctors Tarsila Vieceli and Tsion Firew, and university student Basi Letebele"We call it a double burden", says Doctor Tarsila Vieceli who spends her working hours in a Covid-19 unit in Porto Alegre in southern"Women work business hours, and when they get home it’s like a second job – they’re responsible for cooking, cleaning and raising their children," she said.
Vieceli is one of the workers on the front line of the pandemic who have been sharing their stories about the extra pressure they face as women., alongside her role as a special adviser to the ministry of health in Ethiopia. She told the BBC that most health workers in the east African country and the US were women but senior leadership was mainly men - something which she suggests has life-threatening consequences.
“We’ve noticed how certain PPE [protective kit] ] is made for men," she said."Even the hair covers are made to fit men.”, university student Basi Letebele is looking for work after losing her job at a supermarket a few weeks ago. She was using the money to pay for her studies and support her three-year-old daughter.
“One of the applications I came across said that they would prefer men. That discouraged me, because in this economy we’re all looking for work.The three women were speaking to
correct yourselfs 36 have died in england rest of the UK's fine
Still not reached the levels of the 1968 Asian flu epidemic.
how long's that 'temporary pause' eh?
Hardly a pandemic then...HOAX
History will paint a different picture. School children in the distant, much more decent future, will ask why the mainstream media accepted these fake figures, despite all the reliable detractors against them? I hope they'll be told they did it because they were in on a scam.
Who are these figures for? History will paint a very different picture of them. School children in the distant, hopefully much more decent, future will ask why the mainstream media accepted these fake figures, despite all of the reliable detractors against them?
Can't believe some comments, 'would have died anyway, with or from '. These are official government figures, excess deaths, do you not understand the term ?!. Worldwide now half a million dead, yet you infer the figures do not reflect the true situation. Are you in denial
As all hospital deaths of patients with coronavirus will have it on their death certificates even if they were already dying from something else, it does make me think what the real total is. Just because you carry a virus doesn't always mean that you will be affected by it.
It seems this terrible toll is the only thing Britain can boast about that is world beating
‘With’ coronavirus, not ‘from’ or ‘of’
It’s all meaningless - most (not all) would have died anyway which of course is devastating for those family members and friends. They also died having the awful COVID virus.
Numbers always low at the weekends let's wait and see what Tuesday brings when all weekend numbers are added up.
x2
Despite the doom mongering about packed beaches in May, shopping outlets and protesters, week on week cases are down by 25% and that’s with an increase in testing too.
Let's wait for the data at end of July. Recent events will certainly alter those figures.

Doesn’t look like an epidemic, let alone a pandemic
When are we suppose to hit the second wave?
Dear BBCBreaking maybe you should watch this before you do anything else, it may help.
Blaintant lie gonna be way more this week....like last week!
Keep it Cummings people, 1,199,066 have signed the Petition that's is an awful lot more people that the Tory Party Members (191,000 2019) who imposed Johnson/Cumming onto the UK
311515 Confirmed 43,550 deaths 1364 Recovered? Where are the rest Corona has a run time from 10-14 days, so there should be more deaths or more recovered
Well yes but that's because they forget to count over weekends. 100+ next couple of days.
BBC continue ad nauseum with their daily death declarations. Totally inaccurate and when viewed by population, are barely significant. Time to stop now! If you must do daily deathcards, use new cases and location data instead.
Be safe everyone around the world
Here come the second wave Wendys 🙈
BBC continue ad nauseum with their daily death declarations. Totally inaccurate and when viewed by population, are barely significant. Time to stop now! If you must do daily scorecards, use new cases and location data.
Where’s the 311,151 not in hospital course not there out & about spreading to all us cheers for that
Can please report accurately that the figure is ‘at least’ xxxx amount, to reflect the true death toll which should include the ‘excess’deaths. The true figure is in excess of 63,000.
🙄 CORONA-HOAX
HFormiguinhas E Portugal é que não é aconselhável 🤗🤗
Why, when you click on the link to the article, do the UK wide numbers you’ve shared add up to 21?
Anyone else have a kung flu dead pool going at work to guess how many have died the previous week ? .... not far off this week !!
Does temporary pause mean they are waiting for what figure Cummings wants to put in. Are we sure boris was doing press ups or was he hiding Hancock and was caught
. The UK Government has done as little as possible to protect its people DontVoteTory CoronaVirus Covid19
Still it's not bad.
Every death is horrific. With England having higher rates than every country in Europe combined, please listen to governance and carefully follow the guidelines. We'll all be out again later.
'Died with coronavirus'? Do you not mean 'died from covid19'? I thought that coronavirus was the common cold, so I think it's important to be clear.
“One ....... One and a half ........ One and three quarter ......... .TWOOOOOOO.” BoJo doing his daily exercise.
Still sadly' to many poor sod's have sadly passed away! All thanks to disgusting wet market's in China, and abhorrent spreading of diseases, the world thanks your vile nation
Maybe MattHancock can happily announce only 36 people died of Covid 19 today?
36 ? Absolutely no-one believes this figure. It will be adjusted tomorrow and be well over 100
Reconciled the figure will be nearer to 300 on Tuesday.

Is there any scientific reason why on weekends the number of deaths is lower than week days?
Well done to the NHS!
How long is temporary?
is this less than last sundays or higher?
Meanwhile BoJo is going for a press-up personal best
Wash your hands, stay in and have as little contact as possible with others, it's boring, but it will save your life, and it's the only defence you have.
It’s okay though because morons are flocking beaches & having street parties. 🙄🙄🙄
Can anyone with some expert knowledge tell me if the virus is weakening?
With or from? I'd be really interested when these figures will actually come out.
In the UK? Not Scotland as they had 0 deaths. Must be all England as I know Wales and Ireland have also had extremely low numbers.
Hope they were all brown
Terribly serious
