Too many blind spots and weak links in places in africa and elsewhere. We have large amounts of travel and animal human interface and large members of people. All three of the cdc components and all of the components are so important. The cdcrelated components are domestic and stopping ebola and preventing the next ebola through the global work. I know its a few weeks ago and they are four individuals from cdc in guinea. France is taking the lead on Ebola Response in this country because the United States needs to take a more leadershipactive role or does it have the capacity to do so . Excuse me. For the cdc specific response, we provide a comprehensive Public Health approach in each country. As of today, we have approximately 175 staff on the ground. We have the most staff in sierra leone. We also have more than 20 staff ....
They are almost complete and they are very optimistic that they start next phase of the trial with both of those vaccines in west africa. This slide indicated that there was a third company, but they were not expected to engage in phase one trials until the fall of 2015 which is a substantial ways away from where we are today. There other potential vaccine candidates in the pipeline. We are supporting some of those. They are behind this timeline and we are right now focused on trying to figure out if these vaccines are and effective and if they are, get them into use to control the epidemic in west africa.

If my written testimony, theres one paper from the new england journal of medicine that reports that 95 of the cases of ebola incubate in 21 days. The inference is 5 not until 42 days.

Former head of the cdc about why the cdc botched the testing. Larry summers will tell me how low he thinks the markets will go. Ill talk to tony blair about how todays World Leaders should navigate this historic crisis. We are all in this together. All that and more. But first heres my take. The outbreak of an epidemic is something of a natural disaster, a spontaneous natural eruption that is no ones fault. That doesnt mean we do nothing about it and let it run its deadly course.

Unfortunately that does not describe the response of the United States government to the coronavirus pandemic. We can track the speed of the outbreak since january by which time the virus had spread from china to other countries. In south korea, after an initial spike, the ....
