that's sierra leone and there's the border crossing. do you see security, do you see military?ho would stop someone coming across this border? not only does it spread across the borders of the original country as occurred with ebola in west africa, but it crosses seas. it crosses continents and that constitutes a pandemic. endemic is your worst-case scenario. so you fail to control the outbreak, you fail to control the epidemic and you fail to control the pandemic, and now that microbe is a permanent feature in the biological landscape that humans are living in. the worst example of that is hiv. we started off with tiny outbreaks in a handful of places and the world responded completely incorrectly. it became pandemic and now endemic, so we have 37 million people living infected with hiv and there is no country on the planet without this virus. >> before the devastation of aids, there was smallpox. smallpox killed 500 million people in the 20th century alone. more than all the wars in that century combined. whenever an infectious disease truly catches hold, it forces health wor
