nice sierra leone in airplane. at that time it had not crossed the border of guinea, and no one pleased it was true. nobody believed that the virus existed. there were no education efforts to make sure that people knew that ebola was real and dangerous. >> so when you say didn't believe. i mean, that's the kind of thing that if you pick up a up in somewhere else in the world and read that there was a terrible disease coming, you wouldn't put down the paper and say, it's probably not true is there a lack of trust among common people, rank and file sierra leonens in this case. from what they see and hear? >> certainly, and the war is part of that, and there is mistrust of the state. the state has often traded in the lives of its people so people through its experience have learned to mistrust a lot of what they're told to do. >> we see governments now showing great concern, stepping up the nurse, putting up roadblocks, does this kind of stuff work, at least in the short term, and are there risks involved when a heavy

in guinea and sierra leone and would you say now this constitutes a global health crisis and have weched that point yet? >> we have to keep perspecti perspective. yes, it's a serious out break and no, it's not under control and highly contagious but the chances of it spreading beyond the area where it is now, it's not impossible. but it is very unlikely. the steps that need to be taken to protect yourself are rather simple so it is a matter again of educating people on what they need to do to protect themselves and to help prevent the spread. remember it's not airborne, if i touch the sweat of someone who has a fever from ebola i don't get it unless i have a cut on my hand and that is how the virus needs to come in contact of an infected person. if i don't have a cut on my hand and touch that person i don't get infected, so it is rather challenging to actually become infected with the ebola virus. it is a huge challenge and as the ambassador was saying about education, education i think is the key to getting control of this outbreak and it's finding a way to speak the language, the l

in sierra leone, we did not have a mission. we are building and working with extras on the ground to facilitate the work. our teams are staying put. and outbreak requires operation. to avoid the growth of the since these viruses know no borders. it is a national security priority to contain this ebola outbreak as quickly as possible. it would take months to end it, but we can turn around the tables in the next couple of isks, if the robust response employed and executed as planned. we are confident that we can stop the epidemic and it might take several months. we must assist developing countries in strengthening their own health systems. it is about and communities. ebola is in western africa. we have seen h1n1 coming from mexico. these pathogens can jump anywhere. and we have to be prepared to deal with these things as they occur. we are prepared to make this our priority in africa and also demonstration is working on the global health security agenda for which we look to work with you and in the plans because that would requ

the cdc team it self has had a small presence and coming out to sierra leone.he international community has been supporting. good news. and i think now we're going to see a significant shift in the response. but i think the news last week to declare a state of national emergency has shifted this from being a -- an important issue to being the issue in sierra leone right now. what we are talking about on the streets. every ministry of government is focusing on supporting this response, army, police, schools, information, so i think what we're seeing is a whole government response, and all of the organizations here coming together to support the government with that. >> i just have to say something. i read an interview with you, where a lot of us here far far away from sierra leone don't really know what ebola looks like. and you had something something that surprised me, which basically said to the effect, just about until the very end if someone has it, is dying of ebola, they look relatively healthy. >> i think you're seeing a whole mixture of different respon
