now, ebola, as the ebola outbreak widened, hospitals in west africa quickly became overwhelmed with ebola patients. and one of them was the kenema government hospital in syria leone. sierra leone. for many years the hospital had a laboratory for investigating another african hemorrhagic fever virus that is delaware stating and is considered -- devastating and is considered to be a biosafety level iv agent because there is no vaccine for lasa and no reliable cure for it. a number of american researchers, including this woman here who is an assistant professor, associate professor at harvard university and affiliated with the brode institute of genomics at harvard and mit in cambridge, had been working there for years doing research on ebola -- i'm sorry, on lasa. here we have the bode institute where they do genetic sequencing of all kinds of organisms. a colleague of hers and she are among the subjects of my recent new yorker article about the ebola outbreak. sabeti is quite a remarkable scientist. among other things, she is a singer and a songwriter for an indie band, thousand days, and

but as the ebola outbreak widens hospitals became overwhelmed with ebola patients. one of them was in sierra leone. but for many years and had a laboratory for investigating the virus that was another fever virus that was devastating to be level for agent because there is no vaccine and no reliable care. the number of american researchers who is an assistant professor at harvard university affiliated with to nomex and harvard have been working there for years doing research on this. here they do genetic sequencing of all kinds of organisms. there are two subjects of my recent article about the ebola outbreak. but she is quite a remarkable scientist and a singer and songwriter for a big and 1,000 days and they had to put their fourth album on hold due to her involvement with the ebola outbreak. she began working with physicians at the hospital. with their research unit was the chief physician. and early on so it is decided so it is said general sequencing of ebola. is certainly mutating. because that genetic code the rna viruses known to make an error when they copy

check and report ebola. that care package has a thermometer, a fever log, health information, a wallet card, a number to call if they get sick. over the past couple of weeks at least four people have gotten sick. they've taken their temperature, they've had a fever, they've called that number. the state health department has arranged for safe transport of the individual from where they are to a hospital that's ready and waiting for them, and all four of them ruled out for ebola. but they were cared for safely in that system. yesterday we notified people that starting today we'll be doing the same kind of active monitoring for everyone arriving from mali. not because we believe there's widespread transmission in mali today, but because there are so many contacts there and we're not yet confident those contacts are all being identified and monitored daily. so if one comes here, we don't want to take the risk that they become ill and the health care system would not bay wear of their illness in time. we don't k

with ebola in mali. she was diagnosed with ebola after she had that's the first time they knew she had ebola. now this, she worked in a hospital, in a care center that dealt with the elite. some people would call them the 1% of mali. but she dealt with people in the elite. also u.n. peacekeepers that had been injured. and after she deceased, they found she had ebola. and they didn't know where it come from. the first ebola death in mali was eight days after we had our last hearing in here. i think it was the 24th of october was the first death. then they went back and they figured out that -- they were trying to figure out how she had contracted this. and then they went back and they found out that there was a 70-year-old gentleman that had come from i don't know if it was sierra leone or where it was, but one of the -- it was guinea. he came from guinea. he apparently -- the person who brought him to the hospital was later deceased. they're not sure if that was ebola. they found out instead of kidney di

so, what is ebola? ebola is a virus member of the a family called filo viruss. f-i-l-o. if you look at it in a micro scope, it's an ugly looking virus. they have these filaments that look rather intimidating from someone who has looked in the microscopes for viruses over so many years. it's one of the ugliest ones that i've ever seen. the transmission cycle, we know what happens from human to human, but there are still some unanswered questions. it exists in fruit bats and certainly infects non-human primates. it kills off these non-human primates intermittently. it jumps species as some, if not most of emerging microbes do. it's fundamentally an animal virus. it's not fundamentally a human virus that stays in the human population. it bleeps up in these outbreaks that i told you 24 of them and we're in the middle of a massive one right now. and the way it gets there is really not clear. eating animals, touching them, slaughtering them, preparing them for food. but once it gets into a human, it's transmitted only by direct contact with the bodily fluids of an individual t

i am deeply concerned about ebola. so was all of america. .ut the home and abroad there is a national consensus that agrees that we need to contain the disease and we need to eradicate it. diminish the fear that it generates. 13,000 500 cases of ebola in west africa. here in the united states of america, there are currently no cases of ebola. we look forward for that to be ratified or corrected by our esteemed panelists. the united states of america has ebolad nine patients with , to have contracted it in texas , a have recovered, one has passed away. there have been nine in america. 13,005 hundred and west africa. the situation is serious. it means that all of government has to respond in a way to do so. my strong suggested principles of this, first we must fight the disease at its epicenter in west andca, in liberia, guinea sierra leone. we also want to look at countries near these areas where it has not spread. we want to use the expertise of the department of state, usaid, nih, fda, any government agency that can p

ebola at that time did not have a name. nobody knew anything about its characteristics and it was assumed to be a virus, and nobody had any idea how it was transmitted person to person but it was obvious it cost averaging and had an extremely high case of a fatality rate. the reported case of the early outbreak is around 90%. nine out of 10 were said to die but one wonders if that is at all accurate. i don't think there was careful to epidemiology done. but the doctor went to bet in a small bundle of next to the hospital that night and reported later the first i was called a night of quiet and silence because people were dead but then at 5:00 in the morning a woman was brought in. she was in childbirth and in terrible distress. shaking with fever of very high fever and averaging profusely from her birth canal. he was the only doctor on the scene that could make decisions to do anything. the obstetrical ward was clearly not the place for this woman so they set the table on the porch in front he had flashlights for eliminatio

related to ebola?i think, i think there's a lot of people trying to understand the science of ebola. if you go into any of the major journals, nature, science, the new england journal has been on ebola all the time for the past several weeks. you'll see them trying. the experts are trying to gather what's known. okay. and solidify their understanding of what the remaining questions are and how to approach them. hence the science argument -- about how to proceed with vaccine trials. so, the verge community will rise to the occasion, but it will do so as it does research, investigated by principal investigator. what i'm looking for -- figure out how to rationally design the vaccine. i think there's different avenu avenues, it's an exercise, some of this is a manufacturing exercise, but i think i would organize it differently than basic rnd and i would argue it's time, not just because of ebola, and not just because of epidemic threat, but because of economic competitiveness, it's time for america to have

so, what is ebola? ebola is a virus member of the a family called fee low viruss. f-i-l-o. if you look at it in a micro scope, it's an ugly looking virus. they have these filaments that look rather intimidating from someone who has looked in the micro scopes for viruses over so many years. it's one of the ugliest ones that i've ever seen. the transmission cycle, we know what happens from human to human, but there are still some unanswered questions. it exists in fruit bats and certainly infects non-human primates. it kills off these non-human primates intermittently. it jumps species as some, if not most of emerging microbes do. it's fundamentally an animal virus. it's not fundamentally a human virus that stays in the human population. it bleeps up in these outbreaks that i told you 24 of them and we're in the middle of a massive one right now. and the way it gets there is really not clear. eating animals, touching them, slaughtering them, preparing them for food. but once it gets into a human, it's transmitted only by direct contact with the bodily fluids of an individual

can transmit ebola. they canone recovers no longer spread the virus. however, ebola virs has been found in semen for up to three months. so that's something also to consider. as of october 29, the current epidemic in west africa caused the zaire strain has resulted in intrafficking over 13,000 and close to 5,000 deaths, which brings the current case mortality rate to about 36%. the three main countries are liberia, sierra leone and guinea. jeer that had 20 cases and eight deaths and was declared on october 19. senegal had one case that ebolaed and was declared free on october 17. of sierra leone have reported at least one case and ivory coast is at the nextst risk to be country that could get the disease. , the interestingly, the inst outbreak that happened 1976, the case fatality ray was about 80%, and that was the zaire strain. the lastout break, in 2000, 2001, had a case fatality rate of about 32%. getting close to the personals that we anticipate that are going to be for this strain.ar we all know th

we're going to discuss the whole issue of ebola. and we do have experts to deal with that, but again each time we are surprised because we did not anticipate that kind of activity. in activity -- in africa we knew that many cases all the way from malaria after typhoid and so when. number one we're going to discuss the people specifically, -- the ebola specifically what are some the challenges we're going to face in the coming months and years. finally, we're going to discuss also the security issue which has to do with, particularly racing what happened with isis. i suggest we look at some of the other groups as well. for example, the hezbollah, and we also mark this month in october, the 31st anniversary of the attack on the marine base and the french forces in lebanon. and i think we have to look at hezbollah was -- as well because with the hezbollah is a much engage as we know in syria. and according to all kinds of reports, hezbollah was able to upgrade its capacity. and according to different reports, there are probably about 1

how does ebola spread? now recent studies have clearly indicated that fruit bats are a reservoir for ebola and that nonhuman primates such as the ape and monkeys are carriers that transmit it to humans. now let's move to human to human transmission. the way in which it appears in human, humans at the start of the outbreak is so far unknown. we know how it comes but really don't know what exactly happened. the first patient becomes infected through contact with infected animals, such as fruit bats, as i mentioned, aep primates. which is called a spill over event. person to person transmission can lead to a large number of people getting infected. and small past ebola outbreaks, primates were also effected and a lot of primates died during these outbreaks. and humans when they consume those primates or touch those primates got infected. humans can spread in several ways, through direct contact, broken skin, mucus membrane. eyes, nose, mouth and body fluids of a sick person. and it is not limited just urine, s

more than two thirds of all ebola cases and over three quarters of all ebola related deaths have come from these two countries. by the end of this month, we anticipate having a total about 800 staff in those two countries, and by year's end, we expect this number to exceed 1,000 working in four ebola treatment units, two in liberia and two in sierra leone. i would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge dedicated and courageous international and african national staff working in our treatment centers. they are from liberia and sierra leone as well as many parts of the united states, europe and other states. our staff is compromised of doctors, nurses, technicians, specialists in water sanitation and hygiene, logisticians, mental health professionals, custodial workers, and burial teams. in addition to the treatment units, we have established several services for groups just now arriving to combat the outbreak. one example is a training center on the ground in liberia. it will teach and train staff from all organizations engaged in the fight to contain ebola, and show them how to

now we're adding to the injury by ebola, major injury to the countries with the ebola outbreak. the first focus needs to be on relative simple thanks to decrease mortality in west africa. they suggest intravenous hydration replacing electrons, managing nazi, fever and superimpose bacteria infections with relatively inexpensive measures that could be part of a bundled package that would dilute the west africa. there is critical need of the dance as i mentioned in the most affected countries the proper training and protective gear need to be provided to the hospital staff take care the patients into the burial staff dealing with the corpses. that are complex, ethical challenges which abound and are related to the use of untested interventions, quarantines, special care and other issues. in the u.s. national institutes of health biomedical research has always played a critical role in improving physical and mental health of americans and the globe which in terms of yield significant social economic and societal economic benefits. federal funding has been the cornerstone for nih, th

ebola free. we all know about the cases in the county, united states and dr. kadlec talked about in detail, and the problems and issues with preparedness and recognition of disease is big, is something that we need to look at very carefully and appreciate. there were a couple of the cases, one case that is in new york right now that was diagnosed on october 23 in a physician who worked for doctors without borders and is currently being treated, and all the tracking and some of the people who was in contact with is being done in new york. there was another potential case in new york of a little child, five year old child was taken to the hospital but who tested negative. there was a case in maryland that was taken to the university of maryland medical system on october 27 and then it turned out that that was not a positive case of ebola. so two very interesting things i think that happened on octobe october 27. cdc outlined plans to monitor travel. most health care workers returning from west afri

but ebola spreads by direct contact with someone who is sick with ebola.nd we know that two main ways it spreads are by unsafe care giving in the home or in health care facility and unsafe burial practices. the burial practices that are spreading ebola in west africa are not things that we do here, so not to be concerned about. but care giving is. that means for every individual who comes back from a place that may have ebola, very important to be monitored actively for 21 days. at the first sign of any symptom, even if it's not severe illness, what we're seeing now is, as appropriate. people are coming in, being tested. coming in and being isolated. as soon as that happens, we reduce the risk of spread. so from everything we've seen for the last nearly 40 years working on ebola in africa and from everything we've seen here where no household contacts became infected, ebola doesn't spread widely. it doesn't spread like flu or measles or other infectious diseases. but it's deadly. that's why the hospital infection control is so important. but from everythin

this is prevention to the case of ebola. now, before closing, there is closing about just ebola. ebola has been pretty all-consuming for all of us. we take the sample itself, this view them, or we can look into that sample. we don't know what is going to come out of this. we can think rapid diagnostics of infection, of drug thestance, perhaps identify strengths ready more. this might change the way we understand certain it's -- current infections. there might be multiple infections. this might not be someone making someone the sickest. that is all interesting theoretically. it means that we can save lives, money, time. thean cut time out of detection and make outbreak smaller. that is a promise but we need to continue to invest in it. this is where we had dozens of another disease, there was an outbreak, it turns out there was multiple different. once sequencing machine can create enough data to overload 100 computers. data isnt of mind-boggling. the fivethat over years, this initiative will transform the way we do genetic epidemiology for some of our conditions and we are able t
