let's get back to brazil.r business been affected by a huge market move in the currency, a significant change in the fiscal story, and the political turmoil your country has faced? >> somehow, this is business as usual for us in south america. we are used to big changes in the economy. markets move very fast because they are relatively liquid, and what you see in brazil is a typical example. -- thesion lost recession lost 10% of gdp. it was dramatic for the biggest continent.the the currency lost around 60% and now has recovered very strongly. the president was impeached. a new president is in power with the ongoing lawsuit and criminal investigation over half of the congress -- guy: what you are saying is this environment is business as usual because that is what happened before. this isn't new. in brazil, it was in that situation for the last six months. for now on, things will start to stabilize. the mandate, whether it's a transition government or permanent government come is quite clear. they have to reel

the facts are that there is less ka nowow in brazil -- zi in brazil ben chandler. when youd thing is have an outbreak that peaks up, it has a pattern by goes up and down. that is the way outbreaks are. we had an explosion in brazil and what we're seeing now is going down is the natural evolution. when you have a disproportionate n unpredicted season, it is because the season where usually happens it never really peaked you had a late peak. the same way we see every once in a while a strange distortion of when you have a new influenza outbreak a quiz on 2009. just to reiterate, the risk is much less now than it was in january but it is not zero and that is the reason why i will say it again, if you are pregnant, you should not travel to an area where there's an outbreak and that includes brazil. >> there's an excellent modeling yale at university -- university saying exactly what the doctor does mention. mentioned. >> i wanted to go back to the basics on the blood supply. you mentioned if you are a normal healthy now and you get better. is that person's blood likely

this is donna brazil. how she character riized it. we don't have it. okay. >> i know what she said, and i di -- >> sorry. >> i think part of it is at some point adults have to come to an agreement that, listen, we made a mistake. we were errant in the way we handled it. i did something, and i probably shouldn't speak the opening day of the convention. >> and the fact about delegate gap. if the rules were different if the debates were featured during the prime time hours or you didn't have the dnc privately leaking documents to the wall street journals. >> you're saying it's all of it. that was just an indication. >> but the irony was that hillary clinton did well in those debates. she probably wouldn't have suffered much as all had they been in more prime time. to say one thing on behalf of debbie wasserman shultz, debbie wasserman shultz did not try to stack the deck against bernie sanders of her own accord. she is, as you said, she was staff. she was trying to tilt the playing field toward hillary clinton because that's what the powers that be inside

i already covered brazil. but for example, the first baby born in florida with zika-related microcephaly was a mother who came from haiti. last month, 1000 pregnant women in columbia were reported to have contracted zika. it's already a u.s. health emergency. it's only growing by the day. and the links between our nations make this a hemispheric public health crisis. once again, american ingenuity and innovation in medical sciences must lead the way if we hope to save lives, including countless unborn children. we must begin to meet the zika virus with a sense of urgency we not seen up until now. listen to the experts around. it's time to enact serious solutions. i am proud to stand as an advocate for any legislation that would provide funding to combat zika as soon as possible. we cannot rest until we've taken action to ensure the safety and health of the american public. thank you. with that, i recognize our ranking member, senator boxer. >> thank you so much, mr. chairman, for this hearing. thank you to our

they have an interim in donna brazil. after debbie wasserman-schultz has been kicked out right before the convention starts. >> at this point it was inevitable. the case for her lack of being impartial is obvious and was long before the e-mails, how the debates were scheduled when no one was watching. everything was done to make it easier for hillary clinton. the fact that the e-mails have come out right now on the eve of convention made it impossible to keep her on. that is a victory for bernie sanders but i don't think it does anything other than to distract from what could have been a preprogrammed regular propaganda festival of the four days of any convention. this introduce as distraction that does not happy. it is a one or two day story outside the convention. the effect on the electorate but it will affect inside but the bernie sanders people are about where the cruz people were on day one of the cleveland convention, plague noise but not going to change anything on the ground the they are not changing the vice pre
