This virus really doesnt care. The more you have no location the more virus production the wider spread can occur. But occur. But we need to be thinking about in the way of security and why this is different than what it has been prior this is the first time in north america we have had a high pack virus travel teefive wild birds to north america, the first time, and it is because it has adapted itself to these dabbling ducks and is moved across the bering strait. It never happened it never happened before. Low path may be, not high path. So what is different now is we at least have to consider bio security where was fine and well and good for what we were dealing with prior to this we must not consider to me after more importantly the density of farms does facilitate the potential for rapid transmission.

When we really began looking at the disproportionate impact of the epidemic in africa back in the late 1990s and early 2000,
Here. It is interesting, the Faith Community has been a partner in response to hiv since the beginning of the epidemic both domestically and globally. So i think pet far was an out growth with faithbased organizations on the domestic side for a number of years. When we really began looking at the disproportionate impact of the epidemic in africa back in the late 1990s and early 2000, it was a lot our interest and a lot of the pressure that was brought to bear on the u. S. Government and policymakers was from faithbased organizations who were on the ground in africa seeing the devastation that was occurring on the continent. So theyve been a natural partner for us faithbased organizations and faith backers have been a natural partner with those of us working in the hiv and aids response from the beginning.

While some republicans spoke about the Confederate Flag issue it was mostly the house to make rest that spoke on the floor. In a news briefing about it. Here is that briefing. Nancy pelosi good afternoon. Today we had action on the floor. I presented a privilege resolution that would have captured the action put forth two weeks ago.
