Cdc that will go within hours to any hospital that has an ebola case to help them provide effective care safely. Theres a lot of understandable concern about the cases in dallas. I have one slide, if we can show it, of the contacttracing activities there, and i think we have provided copies for the members. The two core activities in dallas are to ensure that there is effective Infection Control and to trace contacts. Here you see a time line in exactly what has happened in the indication of contacts. We have followed each of the contacts. When any become will, we immediately isolate them, so that we can break the chain of transmission. Thats how you stop ebola. I can go through the details when you wish. We also are working to ensure that theres effective Infection Control there, and i can go through the details of that. In sum, cdc works 24 7 to protect americans. There are no shortcuts. Everyone has to do their part. There are more than 500 hospitals in this country, and 2,500 Healt
Im here tonight to ask for your help. Im here to ask for your vote. Thank you. Thank you to our host this evening. It has been a pleasure. Thank you congressman for joining me on the stage. I think you have seen very clear differences in this race. I am not a washington politician. I grew up on my family farm in southwest iowa. Woman, i am a soldier. I deeply care about the nation. I dont support congressman braleys policy, obamas policies of higher taxes, more spending. The list goes on and on. Congressman braley has a failed record in washington. Because of that he is running the most negative campaign iowans have ever seen. If you trust me with your vote on november 4 i will fight hard for middleclass families so they have better paying jobs. I will work for thousands of iowans facing higher healthcare costs because of obamacare. I will protect social security. Thank you both. Political coverage did not stop. We are going to be online. Less than 20 days until election day. We think

Ebola spreads only by direct contact with a patient who is sick with the disease or has died from it, or with their body fluids. Ebola is not new, although it is new to the u. S. We know how to control ebola. Even in this period, even in largos, nigeria, we have been able to contain the outbreak. We do that by tried and true measures of finding the patients promptly, isolating them effectively, identifying their contacts, ensuring that if any contact becomes ill, they are rapidly identified, isolated, and their contacts are identified. But there are no shortcuts in the control of ebola. And it is not easy to control it. To protect the United States, we have to stop it at the source. There is a lot of fear of ebola. I will tell you, as the director of c. D. C. , one of the things i fear about ebola, is that it could spread more widely in africa. If this were to happen, it could
Endeavor. The n. I. H. Is responsible for early concept development, something we did relatively alone, because of the of interest on the Industrial Partners of making interventions. We partnered with someone, who you will hear from shortly, with dr. Robinson, and then we partnered with industry to ultimately, in collaboration with the fda, get the approval products. Next slide. Youve heard a lot about therapeutic interventions. Momentt like to spend a talking to you about a few of them. First, its important to realize experimental. All none of them have proven to be effective. If so when you so when you giving a drug that has a positive effect, we do not know at this point, a, is it a effect, or b, is it causing harm . And thats the reason why we carefully at these the same time we rapidly can make them available to the people who need them. The first one on the list is zmap. To dr. Brantley and nancy. It looks very good in animal model. Still needs to be proven in the human. There is

This is how we are learning ho two nurses possibly dbgot infected with the disease. And they are saying two days after the liberian man came to the hospital worked with procedures that changed on the fly and the cdc admitting vincent was allowed to fly across the United States after telling them she had a light fever possibly exposing dozens to the dangers. Angela do you believe we will get muchneeded answers . I am torn on this. It is important to Keep Congress in the loop and they hold the purse strings. There have been a lot of cdc failures. The un came out saying we have 60 days to con ain this. We cannot af two to have or three of thedays spent on a political dog an pony sh
