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 This is outdated because it is from yesterday.
Skating, about you we only lasted for about 45 minutes when we are usually out for two hours. The cold weather is here. Not keeping folks inside. I talked with firefighters to see how they are preparing for the winter blast. This freezes up and could crack a line or something. It makes it inoperable. One place you dont want a pipe to burst is on the fire. They are preparing to drain the tanks on a colder weekend. We could shut off the valve that would make the onent and the drains and let the water out. The technician also showed us the warm weather gear. Gloves and body suits need to be able to stay outdoors for hours. We come out and start the fire on the coldest day. It will be hot and sweaty and it needs to be dry. They recommend the same for all of you working outside. The many players and hard labor can make you dehydrated. Just like the hot summer days they warn drink plenty of water. We found just about everybody bundled up for a walk with their dogs. Ellie even willing to give
We have less than an hour until the close of trading. Lets go to the breaking news desk where scarlet fu is looking at the action on the street. Scarlet the action was concentrated in the moment morning. There is some drama that has given way to a quiet afternoon. A sharp drop, and a recovery. We reached session highs about 90 minutes ago. We have since been drifting lower. The morning did feature disappointing economic data. An unexpected drop in Consumer Confidence for one, and another month of contraction in the richmond manufacturing. All of this is as the fed began a twoday meeting that concludes tomorrow. Right around the time the data came out, there was report that irans military seized a u. S. Cargo trip. The pentagon denied the report saying the ship fired upon was flying a Marshall Islands flag. Treasuries did fall with yields currently at session highs. You can see right there, the 10year at 1. 89 . The dollar weaker as well as we head into the final hour of trading. Matt t
