The candidates can check the box now, guys. I know they were nervous yesterday. They would never admit it probably. But they have that first debate in the can now. One down, two to go. It all happened there at Hofstra University last night. Theyre going to play it safe. This morning, were going to detail it. When the two of them came out, it was surreal. There youve got the woman referred to donald trump as a sexist and racist the last year or so the last six months and then youve got him whose crowd has shouted lock her up and he calls her crooked hillary and there they were shaking hands. Thats when it started. It reminded me of holy field tyson. You watched their careers but never fought each other. You finally started in the same ring at the same time. That leads us to the question, who got the knockout if it went to the cards . Who would the judges vote for . Just like a man to give us a sports analogy. Youre absolutely right. We were all watching last night to see how controlled
Of the individual from where they are to a hospital ready and waiting for them. They were cared for safely in that system. Yesterday, we notified people that starting today, we will be doing that same kind of active monitoring for everyone who arrives in mali. Not because we believe there is widespread transmission but because there are so many contacts there and we are not yet confident that they are all being identified and monitored daily. If one comes here, we dont want to take the risk that they may become ill and the Health Care System would not be aware of it. We dont know that we have the perfect response but like everything in Public Health, everything for clinical medicine, everything in science, we use data to continuously improve practices. That is the approach we will take. We work with the Health Care System to strengthen control. They have visited three dozen hospitals all over the country and a dozen states to assess the ready. They provided the tests for ebola. Usually
Every one of those cases needs that kind of response that i described. Going to be incredibly difficult. A reminder that cases are still growing. Despite some progress, there was more cases in west africa in october than there were in september and though the numbers decreased in liberia, we believe, there are so many cases that we are not able to do the kind of outbreak control as needed and so many communities that have not yet had cases that need intensive control measures. In october, west africa had more all of the than in recorded ebola outbreaks over the last 40 years. We have a long way to go but we do have proof of principle and we do have tremendous commitment from societies. My team was describing how many communities themselves were taking action among they identified buildings or schools to isolate and care for people with ebola. They tracked the contacts so they would be rapidly isolated and would not further spread disease. This is outdated because it is from yesterday.
