A pastor the pastor had died because he also refused to get treatment he continued to do the practice of laying of hands he died of a boat and then contaminated his family. A boner is a reality a boner is not supernatural a boner is not paranormal a bowl is disease that is caused by a virus it is a disease that is curable when patients are treated very early. Seeing so obvious to us who have got to grips with what stops us from spreading but thats a former Health Minister trying to explain to the country what about the rest. Maybe a little let me tell you quickly a short story. That was last year when. We were sitting up there. And i was talking with one of the survivors trying to figure out what the people thats. A. Point meet different people were walking weve. Come a point we just realized that those people were not what. Those people were actually all in danger we were injured because we didnt know it would be so we can even imagine that it might be a ritual in. Place they have no idea what it will feel some of them so its a huge huge huge huge what youve been doing to educate the population and raise awareness. And of course complicating the story even further was this news that came out this week just on monday dear seems Health Minister who you just saw in that clip there quits over government handling of it both he stepped down after the president s office took charge of the d. R. Congos deadly ebola epidemic he tweeted out his Resignation Letter and in that tweet he also mentioned this which ive highlighted here because people in our community are picking up on it he says it would be fanciful to think that a new vaccine proposed by actors who have shown an obvious lack of ethics by voluntarily hiding information from medical authorities could have a Significant Impact on the control of the current outbreak so dr subgroups subway id like to talk about that vaccine because this from albert on twitter heres his take he says given the ministers explanation it appears that there are ethical and practical concerns that those advocating for a new vaccine should address a new vaccine would hurt lives are at risk and the vaccine currently use cant be trusted so talk to us about the 2 vaccines at issue here. After subway yes so yes you are getting the vaccine i think the. Current leader is a one vaccine. Have been used and since the last. Is the b. S. P. Vaccine from the American Company so the scene is experimental roxanne is not license yet have been used to west africa break or so in the break and now in the know not people and. This is. A recommendation from that bridge you saw. Recently so there has been discussion about the and to adoption of 2nd bites in and again is doubly sure to. An Advisory Group that rich or i think you. And your accommodation was like this so theyre recommend to continue to use the correct vaccine deviously vaccine for the contact of contact and also from the. Workers so this is the 1st requirement and order so. They also say that they are open to to to test the 2nd vaccine but out of desire of the current outbreak that was the requirement this in so in order if you know how as how effective are these vaccines what do we know about them the johnson and johnson one which is the new one and the mark one. For the for the 1st world there is nothing. Called truck. Or. Seductive. Magic im just imagining that i am i live in the r. C. And all i want to know is will it save my life right when can you tell me that. When you actually think should i say well it saved my life thats all i care about thats all i can well. Yeah yeah thats not so i care about people dying around my Health Workers are dying i just want to know is it time to save my life dr let me just take you back to africa when we were using them right now nobody is saying yes to me thats scary. Its you taking me back to west africa which was the worst outbreak on record all right and thats the only one that gave these facts. So each week that we would have done it so why not write a 2nd one as well why not indeed was the debate thats a question i think the. Concerns raised. Would provide evidence that this is. Really to provide. Right so maybe weve touched upon something here now in my community have touched on something here that there is a real to a fight going on behind the scenes to watch what you know about this. Yeah behind the scenes is. There some kind of distrust now and difficulty because people arent used to it fools that is trained to say hey we really are you know about see each. Of the c. D. s on tuesday and from that the local communities here the folks want davis in integrity because these ideas have been in the 4 decades. Seen so many people from the waist economy and you know the not is the wildest. Sort of you know the kind interested in the resources of lady gold so that a lot of all the folk also think that maybe that is and. To to to take the and. Rich so that they can somehow Land Resources or call lately they are down for decades since wisely bury it before that and when you look at it in a lot lately the ordinary person may want to understand the whole idea to these seen. The i dont know that it means starting 6 came out to decide he. Sees that one need not actually cause solution in dollars of the need to deal with a lot of people but also what the. Oath box nation lacked and drugs im glad that you mentioned the ordinary person your average person because we got a video comment from someone who says its because of those average people here every day people that we need more than just a medical response we need more of a human to human response so this is a common we got from Anne Marie Connor she is a National Director of the Charity WorldVision International and heres what she told the stream. You know i want you all right here. Me here in the. Informal heres my iron on our side. To the fight against a wall that. They were married to me and how. Much. Information to share. And each individual. Gene. So yaps is saying this is more then a medical response that we need what do you make of that you know its more done much better thats beyond. You some mention is design of conflict so it would be hard to solve all 3 if we dont. Do you find so because those people fighting its going to accept the Response Team to stop the whole team when they believe that theyre coming from the people well right so they need a Political Engagement more than what you have there is no way a technique i thought he should be solved that we could problem. I want to show our audience just to remind us where the d r c is and then also to look at where the areas that are most at risk happen to be so lets start with the map lets start with the epicenter of the about a crisis were going to put that off on t. V. So you can see it there you go many north kivu province is the epicenter let me show you how many cases to date that we have seen of a bowler and also the number of deaths as well in the dark or unsure about see these are the countries highest risk of a boulder getting outside of the d. R. See already traveled into uganda that was from a family who had been in the d r c n n let me show in the pale orange areas areas that are at risk but at a lesser risk i am just wondering dr what a Global Health emergency for the d. L. C. About a crisis what does that do that changes that that map those areas of risk right now doc to go ahead. Yes this is so i think. The bump will not change so the situation before the declaration and after the declaration. Is not changing the things is changing now is the owen is. Now we have a case in goa so the risk of the spread of the disease. Increased so to do this is to cross the border and to become an International Concern so but in the ground india asked the. Activity to response activity will continue the period of the response activity will continue. But in the International Level there will be more engagement of the government to bring more resources to control the other break in india elsie and the neighboring country of the same risk related to to to the people with tribe or across the border to those country so i guess the still the same blood now the awareness is just increasing and now we need to to put more for 2 and a break where is the target. Someone on twitter this is lawyer who picks up on what youre saying there and says that this declaration does not release any more funds for the w. H. O. But what it does do is ensure that the world knows that the outbreak of such a severity is to warrant that classification there is so much that needs to be done in such a short space of time but when it comes to what more needs to be done as you mentioned there we got a video comment from someone in durban south africa and he calls for a pan african approach have a listen. I would like to see ministers of help from across the Southern AfricanDevelopment Community work in partnership with the African Center for Disease Control to mobilize resources and to provide Technical Assistance to the ministry of health of the d r c so that we can ensure that human rights and the right to health is at the center of or prevention and response occasion events and to express reading at regional solidarity at a time of tremendous crisis for people often see its a time for us to pull together at a time for us to Work Together as africans. So you leave by there is calling for an African Response what do you. Make a declaration i think 2 days ago theyve already called a peace and Security Council so that they can be part of the of the response and also the world here but i want to go beyond africa african really the continent i mean we have also all the African Diaspora they can also find a way to support. Or financially we have to feel we have done good didnt quite a number of those people left supported in west africa i think its time also on a portrait for africa to solve these issues my call it all our country i thank you so much gentlemen its been really interesting hearing the context of which you are walking right now and trying to share the information about what is happening in the eastern part of d. L. C. Particularly with the about a crisis as weve been live right now what if youve been finding from our online audience i will end with this tweet from howard who says hopefully lessons can be learned from experiences in liberia and sierra leone where local institutions including religious actors played essential roles in overcoming stigma and misinformation in communities that are tackling a boa and i will always see you online ad age eyestrain on twitter. And so on
