prepared joining us now is lijana wen, visiting professor at the george washington university school of public health. welcome and are we ready that's the question? >> well, one thing to clarify, this is a very quickly evolving situation. the new coronavirus covid-19 was discovered two months ago and this week has been a watershed moment because we're seeing now over 40 countries that now have transmission in their country, not just travel cases, but also countries that have person-to-person transmission in the community. these are new developments but just because there are new developments and just because the disease is spreading, it does not mean that the u.s. is not prepared actually we are prepared the work of local public health every single day is to prepare them for emergencies just like this and just because things are getting worse, it doesn't mean that the actions that we've taken so far are ineffective it means this is disease progression. >> dr. wen, we should say you are the health commissioner for the city of baltimore so you have experience on the front lines making sure that cities

of the most important studies i've seen. it was done by yale university researchers from the school of public health.e of the world's oldest and most prestigious peer reviewed jourm, the lan set. so those items alone make this a very, very important study. and they do make the case. they looked at a broad range of the economic studies done taking them all in account. they have an interactive element of the research showing how much can be saved if this or that happens. equally important, one of the things that's been lost in this debate is the human cost of not moving that medicare for all, and how many lives will be saved. and, you know, there have been reports that many thousands of lives have been saved since the affordable care act was passed. and that's true. more than double that would be saved if we moved to medicare for all. so it's really important in making -- these research efrz have no affiliation, no financial connections to either side of the debate. >> 68 lives saved every year. can you plain to me what sort of lives or con dirgs that's people would have that they would now survive ins

school of public policy at the university of maryland. thank you so much for being with us. >> i'm glad to be here. >> now, i do want to point out your background is political science, not public healththat, let's start with the likely impact of the various travel bans that have been put in place. and, of course, with china confirming more than 17,000 cases of the coronavirus and 361 deaths so far, a travel ban seems to make perfect sense. but you and the world health organization disagree. why? >> that's right. so, yes, it does seem like a common sense public health measure. but on the one hand, public health folks will say it has actual -- actually limited evidence these measures stop disease spread or limit disease spread. on top of that, these measures can also cause a range of harms that can undermine outbreak and response to the current outbreak and to future outbreaks. >> how do you convince countries that travel bans are not the best way to deal with the situation when most politicians, they want to show their citizens that they are making every effort to stop potentially infected individuals from a arriving in their country? it's counter intuitive to think, just let people k

of the public health delivery system there. >> and as a faculty member, my last home institution was the university of california davis, school of medicine. the reason why i give that background is last night it became personal for me because it's hitting close to home. the first novel coronavirus case potentially person to person, non-transmission is in sacramento county as we speak. that patient is housed at uc davis. i have been in communication with my former colleagues that are over there. there are a couple of concerning issues that, you know, as we go through the hearing i am going to want to ask questions about. if i think about this particular case, initially it arose in sewano county, which is close to travis air force base, one of the points of entry where we're quarantining patients as we evacuate them from overseas. thus far, we don't know if this patient did not have any travel history, and we're not aware of any contact tracing. that work continues. the patient arrived at uc davis last wednesday or thursday, was intubated at the time on a ventilator. at that juncture the doctors at uc davis and medical staff di
