they weren't pandemic. they weren't mutations justin allgaier spray their feature there are feature shared with other circulating influenza viruses especially those in birds and we share some of those behavioral features with some of the pandemic areas that dr. fauci alluded to. the most important thing is not to just understand the historical phenomenon but as an example of what could happen in the future and uses information to help us gear up for how to prepare and predict how bird viruses can adapt to humans what mutations would correlate with a high virulence and what we can do to prevent it. thanks. >> as an epidemiology spends significant effort studying how pathogens like the 1918 influenza that spread in the population. can you tell us about what the investigations have taught us about the spread of the 1918 pandemic and how was different than what we have seen in other pandemics? >> what made it unique was the data from countries around the world. some we see was unusual and epidemics running that

pandemic influenza preparedness and response framework which can be used as a pandemic planning guide the influenza risk assessment tool which possesses potential pandemic risks posed by influenza viruses that currently circulate in animals but not in humans. a strain is scored on ten factors for the likelihood that it will change to impact people and for the potential severity if it does. the pandemic severity assessment framework guides public health officials to anticipate the severity of the pandemic once the novel virus is identified and responding in a sustained manner. ... >> so what progress have we made? due to global investment in endemic investments there's a a global lens of surveillance and response is with mechanisms to share laboratory and surveillance information. laboratory capacity has shown exponential improvement in recent years. we can sequence a full influence of virus genome and single day and they are great in protest to detect novel viruses and these are shared with more than 100 warty labs around the world. there is personal protective equipment to prevent tr

for the first time, we have actual pandemic and charts. a policy that would disperse funding to the poorest countries automatically when an epidemic reaches a crucial state. we're the first to provide any financial support during the ebola operate. that is not what we do but i happen to be an infectious disease doctor and i called my friends and find out this is the worst and never ever seen so we -- they had ever seen, so we made a commitment of $400 million, but it was probably 10 months too late. this new instrument will provide $50 million, as much as 50 my -- $50 million right away out of the cash window, but if the epidemic continues, once it crosses borders, once there's a certain number of cases, it will automatically disperse as much as $450 million. on a three-year bond, pandemic bond, $450 million, is anyone going to buy this? they could lose. it is called capital at risk. meaning all of the 450 million could absolutely be gone and they would have none of their investment left. it turns out in today's market if you offer the rig

for the first time, we have actual pandemic insurance. a $450 million policy that will disperse funds to the poorest countries automatically when the epidemic reaches a crucial stage. we were the first to provide any financial support during the outbreak. i heard that this was the worst thing they had ever seen, so we may be first amendment of $400 million but it was 10 months too late. this new instrument will provide $50 million right away, out of a cash window. if the epidemic continues, once it reaches a certain size and crosses borders, it will automatically disperse as much as $450 million. we found that on a three-year bond, we thought is anyone going to buy this because they could lose -- it is called capital at risk. all the money could absolutely be gone and they would have another investment left. it turns out that in today's market, if you offer the right interest rate, they will buy it. we sold this on the capital markets at about 8.7% and for the first time ever, we have insurance. we can move faster to prevent pandemics and

we can move faster to prevent pandemics. for the first time this risk in low income countries is shared with the financial markets. so we are asking, can we do this for other problems. why not famine, why not other humanitarian crises. can we create a famine bond, famine insurance, can we create humanitarian disaster insurance? last month we announced a new accelerated effort called the hupen capital project. we're partnering with the best health economists and using super computing power and new methods to analyze the quantity -- analyze and quantify the stock of human capital in the world and its impact on economic growth. we always knew investing in people is the right thing to do. now we are learning that economically it may well be the smartest thing to do. over the past year we've done several different analyses and are finding that investments in human beings, especially in health and education and also social protection, are more powerfully correlated with economic growth than we ever thought. too often we still hear

to the aids pandemic with equal issue of groups acting up to fight the stigma. can you talk about repositioning or dealing with the discomfort when one is confronted with a until decline, makes people uncomfortable and not willing? >> do you want to address this first? >> one of the biggest things is what we are doing now, talking about it. the more you talk about it, the more you get out there and say this is alzheimer's in my family, this person, the more you talk about it the stigma starts to go down and that is part of the goal of myself, my cousin, my siblings, why we want to do these things, to help decrease that stigma. >> the other thing is it is not just the stigma of mental illness but also the fear especially if for example in lindsay's family these are people who are still of working age. one of lindsay upsets who passed away had long-term care insurance, that is becoming scarce to get because insurance companies are ahead of us and know it is expensive so it is hard to get, if you don't have it you are in a lot of trouble the younger you are when th

, including pandemics caused by bad actors. in one hardtalk. i just wanted to say that there are three — three, which i consider to be kind of existential issues. right now — now, and now with those — now, with those. now let's get to climate change. because you worked very hard withjohn kerry and others on getting the paris deal... we'll go there, we'll go there. ..and donald trump's walked away from that. that's right. and, frankly, it doesn't look as though the american public cares that much that donald trump's walked away from it. first of all, i do want to make sure it's understood that what president trump did onjune first was announce the beginning of the process to withdraw from the paris accord. formally, that cannot occur earlier... until right around the time of his first administration coming to an end. until the day after the next presidential election. i understand. and so, i don't consider that a done deal, but obviously quite, uh, quite disturbing. but, but — but look at the facts, you know, whatever he can pra

alzheimer's disease is the medical pandemic over time. it doesn't care about your income and doesn't care about your politics or your education or your religion and doesn't care if you are a celebrity. it's an equal opportunity killer. i do believe that we as human beings are capable of coming together in defeating it and we have no other choice because whether it is in your family tree or not it will impact you. one of the doctors i interviewed my book was a soviet immigrant vemed dimitri and he is the first person who discovered any germanic mutation the guaranteed alzheimer's. we know about three ofan them. at the time there were more than 20 research teams around the world that were trying to date do the same things as dimitri. there were later other scientist who took credit for his discovery and he doesn't care. this is what he told me. so many people are working on a problem it will be soft. personally, i want to see as many people as possible working on this problem whether they are research scientists or universities that allow t

health experts and scientists in washington last week to talk about and then make preparedness -- pandemic fairness and response. this is 2 1/2 hours.

bush who said this pandemic must end. i remember henry hyde said if left untreated, it will be like the bubonic plague. already claiming the lives of so many people in the united states but also sub saharan africa where it was particularly raging and destroying human life. there's a significant cut as well in pet far. i don't think it's going to happ happen. the budget passed, $6 billibill allocated for the pet far program and it will be overcome by congressional intervention. if you would speak to how important these programs and others -- been here through democrat and republican administration and remind colleagues president obama set up budgets that cut tuberculosis by 20%. we added it all back. he added a program that neglected tropical diseases efforts, cut it by $120 million. we put it back. i tried to get it to $125 million, failed, but at least got it back to straight lining. we've introduced the bill that was significantly prioritized these horrific tropical diseases, including worms, which about a billion peopl

revolutionary in terms of every woman of childbearing age should have folic acid to lessen this growing pandemic in the world. in america 1 of every 68 on the spectrum of autism in the world it's very similar, as far as they can tell though the studies have not been as robust. but we are there are 70 million people in the world on the spectrum for autism. and in africa we're talking about tens and millions, quote-unquote. so approximately 100 million people we'll have huge numbers of children suffering, parents, no other intervention, no other processes that helps those children. folic acid, first 1,000 days is just one of a number of initiatives that could make all the difference in the world in the life of a child and mother. obviously we all know one of the greatest answers for that is to have a venue where the woman gets skilled birth attendance and access to safe blood, which another issue. my own daughter-in-law when she had one of our grandsons had a very serious problem with hemorrhaging in a princeton hospital, and they had had to go to other hospitals to get enough blood in her blood t
