world is as well prepared as it ever has been historically it's a very different time than it was in 2003 when sars curve are submerged there's incredible communication and transparency in information coming out of china and the w.h.o. has been involved in helping to coordinate information as well so every country is aware of the risk of travelers coming in who are infected and are set up screening at airports and entry points and so there's pretty good surveillance systems in place ok and one of those measures is that more than 40000000 people have been quarantined in china will that stop this current virus from spreading especially this weekend when china is having its holiday the chinese lunar new year. well unfortunately this comes at a bad time given me amount of travel with the lunar new year but also the fact that this fire seems to have a 14 day incubation period so before the horn teams in the cordoning off of cities

was set up there were people who may have been exposed infected who perhaps are asymptomatic and may have moved out of the area so we expect that there will still be travel related cases moving throughout china and also internationally and do we have any confirmation yet. of this virus and how we can really prevent this kind of outbreak from happening again. yeah the good news is we do have a really good understanding is related to this one this is a virus that's closely related to a sars virus that emerged in 2003 and what we know very well is that there is a group of corona viruses that are carried by bats including sars and likely including this one this virus is about 96 percent similar to the sars virus which we know is carried by small insectivorous bats in china so what we still don't know is exactly which animal may have infected the group of people who are in the market but we can say with confidence and there's a paper out 2 days ago by our colleagues in mohan talking about the genetic

relatedness of this virus that coronaviruses so likely this is a bad origin virus and we need to understand how it was transmitted to people in that marketplace. ok john epstein the eco health alliance thank you. thank you. now let's take a brief look at some of the stories making news around the world. tens of thousands of iraqis have gathered in central baghdad to denounce the u.s. military presence in their country the demonstration was organized by shiite cleric and politician mortada outside of an iranian league forces oscillated 2 protesters were killed and 25 wounded in separate anti regime protests in the city. in chile police deployed water cannons to disperse protesters in the capital santiago the demonstrators were marking 100 days since social unrest began in october at least 27 people have died in the protests driven by anger over inequality and high
