If we think about the basis of Global Health security, it is a threepronged approach containment, mitigation, and then treatment. This is the third hearing that i am chairing on this subject. The first focused on the containment strategy. That was the first hearing that congress held. The conclusion of that was the initial strategy of trying to contain this disease with travel bands, etc. , was likely not going to be successful. Very difficult, and i think what china did was ambitious.
