the drc is greeted by the second worst ebola outbreak on record. thousands of people have died and thousands more have been infected but once again health workers trying to hold the virus have been attacked and killed. we are heartbroken that people have died in the line of duty as they worked to save others. the world has lost break professionals. these constant attacks must stop. more than 300 attacks on staff trying to tackle ebola since the start of the year, mostly attributed to rebels who do not believe ebola exist and think the medical response is part of a plot to wipe out communities. in the last weeks, there were seven cases of ebola down from a peak of 120 per week. any interrupted to the response could lead to a resurgence of the outbreak and more people could die as a consequence. the tragedy is twofold, a deadly disease ravaging entire families combined with continued attacks against people trying to tackle ebola. gareth barlow, bbc news. a climate sit—in is underway in sydney. the theme is ‘bushfire response.‘ because the fires

i mentioned earlier in the testimony we now distributed 250,000 vaccinations in the outbreak of the drc. the second part of your question, the issue of how it's transmitted in an untreated, an vaccinated arena such as what's going on in the drc, that is the mortality of about 67 - 70% which is transmitted only by direct contact with the contaminated bodily fluid. that was really important. so someone gets ebola and incubating it and get a fever but not having diarrhea or bleeding or vomiting, that person is really quite non-contagious and that's a reason why there was not concern of people back when the patients in texas got infected, it was a concern that the nurses were infecting people and they were not. when you get influenza, influenza is transmitted by the respiratory route, there iss a window of when you're actually not very sick and you can transmit it because you're shedding virus for a period of time before you know. there is a substantial difference inal transmissibilit, it is tough to get infected with ebola unless you have direct contact with a really sick person whereas yo

meter so because biden was famous that was his initial advantage and i would say if i was head of the drc form an intelligent service i would drive media posters because those polls of the temple for money, conventional wisdom, press coverage and everything else but once again back to the first question once you get to the smaller arena the mayor pete and the warrants can show up and start to sell tickets. biden for all his strengths and still has some has the burden of being a front-runner in the competitive markets where people know about slowly other candidates and he is not fearing as well. mayor pete is emerged as the biden understudy and should he collapse if biden finishes third in iowa which i think is a possibly or maybe even fourth but if he does when he's supposed to be superman but if he can't lift up a locomotive not only is warren who may be the real biden a slayer in there's room for someone else who will be in new hampshire and the dynamic becomes printed really interesting. in new hampshire you have a big independent vote. we do not carry republicans when we cross george

makingcountermeasures, malaria, tuberculosis , you bola on the middle of you bola right now so you go to the drc where i went to a week and a half ago to visit our site and youasked somebody, are you worried about influenza. they'll laugh at you. what are you talking about influenza . >> and mark don't vaccinate people because they had enough problems with malaria and tuberculosis and you bola so it is a perception which is a misperception that it is not a serious disease. but it's as casey said hundreds of thousands of people die of each year and when you get a pandemic, millions and millions of people. so we really do have a problem with how the world perceives influenza and is going to be difficult to change that unless you do it from within and say i don't care what your, where to address the problem in a disruptive way and an iterative because you will . in the on overtime, amortized 2009 hundred and 70, with have ended up being a better thing for you mark x no. because i'm in, we had a, not simply a as serious as the 1918, but we had a pretty bad pandemic in 1957 and 1968. that didn't chan

the second part is the issue of how it is transmitted in the untreated on vaccinated arena like the drc the mortality that is 60 or 70 percent and is transmitted only by direct contact with the contaminated bodily fluid. that was important so if they get a fever they are not pleading or vomiting it is non- contagious not a concern of people so if you get something like influenza and it is transmitted by the respiratory route and there is a window you're not very sick and you could shed the virus before you get sick so there is a substantial difference in transmission it's tough to get infected unless you have direct contact with a really sick person you get the flu on the elevator next to you. >> thank you mister chairman i will yield back. >> thank you i like to add one more document. clearly it indicates while these are safe for most people there are some for whom it's not safe with a billion dollars that they did not mention 46 percent were for the influence based vaccination for quite it want to ruin the love but i should not be cavalier for those for whom it is an appropriate and w

in an untreated, unvaccinated arena, such as what's going on in the drc right now. that is the mortality of that is about 67, 70%, it is transmitted only by direct contact with a contaminated bodily fluid. that was really important. so somebody gets ebola and they are incubating it, and they have a fever but they are not having diary, other not having bleeding or vomiting. that person is really quite non contagious. and that is the reason why there wasn't a concern of people back when the patients in texas got infected, there was a concern that those two nurses were infecting people, and they were not. where is when you get something like influenza, influenza is transmitted by the respiratory route. there is a window of when you are actually not very sick, when you can actually transmit it because you are shutting virus for a period of time before you get sick, there really is a rather substantial difference in transmits ability, it is tough to get infected with ebola unless you have direct contact with a really sick person. where is you can get influence on an elev
