The importance of really targeting resources to where the virus is, to where people need treatment. Where transmission is ongoing. Given what the Global Funding climate looks like and given the fact that we are beginning to bear down on this. I have to thank you, because i was at many of the sessions and have read so much that has come out of the conference. That was the best summary of everything that happened. You got the best summary right here. Thanks jan, and Baxter Kaiser incurred for hosting us. And congratulations, chris. Youre a sent to being president for the next two years and and moving towards durban, which is very exciting. I was really struck by the emergence of opinion. Justin sitting and listening to , to Michelle Sidi bay. Degree to which is a very mature in advance consensus around what needs to happen is remarkable. This is not a community the set in deep controversy and division. I was at times a little irritated. This is really a sign of success. It, awas embedded
We need to think about that. Im not sure theres any nearterm solutions to this, but it was another one of those dark, dark and somewhat implicit implications for this terrible tragedy. Thank you. Thanks. I actually want to pick up on one thing you said and then come to a couple of you as well around some of the turning points. I agree, that speech that president clinton made was quite extraordinary and im not sure everybody it got the attention it needed given how extraordinary it was. But the other thing i wanted to say is that the ias itself in the way the ias responded was also pretty phenomenal because there had been a few calls for should we go on with the conference and the ias came out immediately and said we are going on that, we have to go on. And that really i think just gave a lot of energy to people that people needed and the way you adjusted to the Opening Ceremony to address it was very admirable. So thank you for that. So theres a lot to pick up on, and im just going to
The ceremony is overshadowed by the attitude towards gay rights a night of mayhem. A festival goes awry in a college town good morning to you. Thank you for joining us on Al Jazeera America live from new york city, im Morgan Radford. An apology from the dallas hospital at the center of the ebola scare in the United States. Texas Health Presbyterian took out a fullpage ad saying it slipped up and is sorry. The only u. S. Ebola patient died at the hospital, and the two nurses that got infected worked there.

In addition, in this ad, the hospital talked about the training, admitting that nurses and doctors hadnt been train, adding that they were in the process of being trained. Change is not something you do with one session or workshop. Training for this virus requires more time,

I think that there needs to be something to augment their capacity. I think that there needs to be some kind of coordination unit. Ive heard here today that the World Health Organization has the lead. Maybe, maybe not. I think something with a bit more of an operational edge to it is called for.
