Pandemic. I wrote an article about this, and i will talk about some of the things i mentioned in that new england journal of medicine article. The reason i believe it is necessary, if you look at some sufficient the challenge that is we face, about ending the hiv despite all of the great results, there is a thing called a care continuum. I dont want to spend time, i spoke to similar audiences about that it we dont do well, access into the system, retention in the system, and adherrence to therapy, and look at as a country, we are doing really, really badly about the number of people infected, and the percent of those who are in a health care system, stay in a system, get on therapy, stay on therapy, and drop their viral load to the point where they dont infect anybody else. We have a long way to go, even though we are doing well. One example is, circ cision, circ cision now, if you look at the numbers, started off 55 to 60 effective. In long term follow up. 73 effective. I cant imagine
Changes. Interestingly enough, the present drop in the price of oil has an impact on russia, they have balanced the budget at 100, and it is now down an 80. Russias political fast and hoos activities have had a serious effect on the russian economy, more than anybody expected to see at this stage. A serious infleet in flight. Many billions of dollars have left. Almost no foreign investment. A rubble Exchange Rate that is going 10 against the ruble. No growth in the russian economy. Oil prices down, income is down. They may account for at least mr. Putins temporary paying attention to the minsk agreement, over how to deal with the problem in ukraine. Not beautifully, not perfectly, not without exception, some of that is happening. If we could get the europeans, four 40 and 50 on russias hydrocarbons, get off that, giving them the opportunity to say to the russians, our off take is so low, we request suspend it, find other sources to. Do that, we have to find other sources for the europe
The clinics have traditionally for 12 years worked on the care transformation and focused on that level. In february of 2012, we became an aco and we will have over 200,000 patients in and 1800 providers. We had rapid growth and thats a challenge to sustaining this. We have been successful and as an aco and surprisingly so. In the interim report, we did not save money for medicare and we did by a lot. So with that it kind of was the accumulation of a good year in the commercial and governmental setting and also with our own employers and employees. We have an initiative working direct low with them going on as part of this work. Part of the reason kind of taking off about this is here and its here to stay. One of the reasons we were successful is we have been saying that my leader who many of you probably know said that for ten years. We have been planning and i would add for those of you in the Service World like we are in iowa, you dont have to wait. You can do it now and make it wor
I think breaking down those boundaries between different parts of government is very much something that weve seen and its translated into legislative action as well. Asset freezing recall, legislation that many countries have adopted. So a holding measure. E. U. Has done that. Switzerland has done that. Just after arab spring. A list of these persons, freeze their assets now. It is not a judicial freeze in the context of judicial action. It is an administrative freeze giving the countries time to prepare their judicial action. I think that sort of innovative legislation is happening. The civil forfeiture legislation that i think in america has been around for a very long time but in many other countries is still relatively new. You see that i wouldnt say proliferating but you see countries taking up those sort of legislations, so what we call nonconviction based legislation where you connect the asset to a crime. Typically on the balance of probabilities. Wont go into too many details
