namely, individuals, who have gone to south america, or caribbean, have gotten infected there, have come back, and gotten ill in the continental united state. that's a travel related case. we have not seen local transmission, namely, someone who is infected, say, in brazil, comes back to the united states, a mosquito bites that person, then bites somebody in the united states who has not left the country and you infect that person. that's local transmission. we haven't seen that yet. we expect that we likely will see small outbreaks of local transmission, as we get into the robust mosquito season. so get to go your question, what we need to do, because there are other diseases mosquitos can cause, when you are in the summer month, there is a lot of mosquitos, particularly the scenario that you mentioned of children going to cam or what have you, you should protect yourself from moth cessation. where, clothes that can cover as much as the body possible, and be definitely use insect repellents. sometimes people are afraid to use insect repel ends, but the insect repellents now approved par

we recommend if you're coming back from the caribbean or puerto rico, you should actually use mosquito repellent for about three weeks because you may have picked up the virus silently. if you get bit by a mosquito in your own area, that mosquito could pick up the virus. it is not really intuitive once your home to be born on the repellent. but that's what we recommend. but we do think the health department should be out there looking at the mosquitoes in the area. if there's more than one case we want to understand if it's a householder nearby, these are drills really that the states and locals need to do now is the weather gets warmer so they can react promptly. we need to search lab testing, we need to get the communication out there, we need to make sure the doctors know how to do evaluations. a lot of work to do. >> do you have any sense of how likely it is, if someone goes to brazil or puerto rico or somewhere where it is clear that there is local transmission, how likely is it that someone has gotten infected, has gotten bitten and doesn't know it? >> we know that over 500 peopl

years and for the first time for cuban born americans to be allowed to arrive or indeed leave as it turns out. the caribbean is an amazing market potentially for the cruise industry. cuba is bigger than all of the other caribbean destinations. essentially havana is to cuba what miami is to florida and the question is whether they can open up this island with its almost unlimited beaches and koevs and other islands and whether, of course, crucially there's the investment for that. for the cruise industry, they want to be there gorks there, and do excursions. on the other hand they don't want to invest their own money. they could go to china with these ships if they so chose. so if you listen to carnival's ceo, obviously he's over the move that they're the first in with this ship. again, you get quite a guarded answer to the question how much you can spend here. take a listen. >> cuba has been very cooperative. we'll invest alongside whoever they're going to invest. it's great for the entire caribbean. it's not just for cuba. >> yeah. it's interesting the degree to which perhaps the rise of cuba will take awa

central america or in south america, picked up the virus there or in puerto rico or in some of the other areas of the caribbean and then have come back to the united states, but it is yet to have a transfer that we know of from any individual in the united states to another person in the united states. again, that doesn't belittle the issue, but i want to be able to put it in the context of where we are. we are at the early stages of dealing with this as united states citizens. in puerto rico and other areas, it is very advanced and there are hundreds of cases that are there. so now the determination is what do we do? c.d.c. has already stepped up and trying to intervene, trying to find ways to be able to not only develop a vaccine for it, which they feel confident they can do. i met with the director of the c.d.c. not long ago. he feels very confident they will be able to have a vaccine within a couple of years, but then we have a couple of years that we're dealing with in the process. just the development of the vaccine and then the distribution of that vaccine. the main thing that can be done right now is a

is under british rule, cuba is under spanish rule, most most of the caribbean's in jamaica, barbados, trinidad trinidad and to beg or under british rule. have these two independent states, that is to say haiti, revolutionary haiti and the dominican government which has been able to oust the spanish after they've been invited back by the dominican republic. so the idea in washington under ulysses s grant was tonight's the island or at least the dominican republic and ultimately haiti itself, then deport the newly freed enslaved population in mass to the island that particular scheme was a barely defeated in the u.s. congress, otherwise a person like myself might not be sitting here speaking english, i might might be sitting in the island of his manual speaking creole, french or spanish. that is where this particular book ends but sadly enough that it's not where the travails of the island and. i'm sure you will recall that approximately 100 years ago there was a u.s. military occupation of both haiti and the dominican republic. we know that the u.s. occupation of haiti did not end until the administration of franklin
