doctor chris alliance, is president of the global development divions of the bill and melinda gates foundationed why. it's important to recognise when there is emerging infections like this, every country in the world needs to prepare and as we learned in 2014—15 with the ebola outbreak, that the countries with weak health systems suffer the most and the places where people are in extreme poverty and 85% of the world's people living in extreme poverty live in sub—saharan africa and south asia and while we haven't seen cases there yet, we need to be prepared and so the bill and melinda gates foundation, we are working closely with the africa centres for disease control to prepare, to help strengthen the ability to detect, isolate and treat patients should this infection arrive in those very vulnerable countries. and of course, chinese workers have such a huge presence. is there concern people who travelled back home for the lunar new year are coming back to places they worked across the continent, perhaps bringing the virus with them? well, i think if you look at the global patterns of trade an

all of our diagnostic capabilities for respiratory infections and that's why the bill and melinda gates foundation has invested a huge amount of funds to improve our diagnostics so i think what the problem that you just saw in han is not too different from any respiratory diagnostic that's a matter and that's the question of sensitivity in order to be able to detect a virus early on in the infection because presumably they're not a lot of virus particles around for you to easily diagnose it so this is not actually unusual for somebody to test negative early on and then as the infection worsens as the viral load accumulates that it becomes positive we've seen this scene play out over and over again and so that's a problem you know again when this is a brand new infectious disease agent and trying to get your arms around it when you don't really know the mode of transmission there's a lot of that we still don't know the mode of transmission in detail we we think it's through droplet contact but there may be airborne transmission there may even be fecal oral transmission and this takes time and remem
