The Real Risks of Ebola

- Опубликовано: 8 дек 2014
- The Ebola outbreak in West Africa, with more than 13,000 reported cases and nearly 5,000 deaths so far, has laid bare the world’s inability to mount a rapid response to an infectious disease crisis. Emerging in a part of the world with weak governments and collapsing health systems, the disease has unleashed a massive humanitarian and economic crisis. In recent weeks, good news has begun to emerge: the World Health Organization declared Nigeria and Senegal Ebola-free last month and recently announced a decline in new cases in Liberia. Panic over cases in the United States has begun to subside.
Now, as the media wave of Ebola coverage begins to crest and the international aid machine at last grinds toward a response, it’s time to turn to the larger message of the outbreaks. Is Ebola a litmus test for poor health systems, demographic change and environmental degradation? What does this crisis tell us about culture, security and governance in a globalized world? Are we able, and willing, to respond to an epidemic of this scale?
This panel discussion includes two veterans from the front lines of fighting infectious disease in Africa. Dr. Alex Coutinho, director of Uganda’s Infectious Diseases Institute from 2007-2014, has led first response efforts again Ebola outbreaks. Jane Coyne, on the board of Médecins Sans Frontières USA, managed many on the ground emergency relief efforts in Africa for more than a decade. They will be joined by an Ebola survivor who will share his unique perspective on the outbreak.
Speakers Alex Coutinho, Chair, Board of Directors, International AIDS Vaccine Initiative; former Executive Director, Infectious Diseases Institute, Jane Coyne, Director of Operations, We Care Solar; Member, Board of Directors, Médecins Sans Frontières USA, and Ebola survior and Infectious Diseases Specialist Ian Crozier will be in discussion.
The discussion will be moderated by Gavin Yamey, Lead, Evidence to Policy Initiative, UCSF Global Health Group.

Thank you for you risk and work, we would of been facing covid-19!!! A long time ago,
Thank you,
Is convalescent plasma, what they are making from stem cells ??
They use liquid lenses and artificial intelligence software, to pick the antibodys out of the plasma,
The cells come from body fat,
And seemed to be stimulated along its axon.

Just to take load off chest infection so no need to sedate the most sick.
In the U.S. I spare more concern towards potential food borne illnesses than this. Funny how the media went mad about covering this awful disease. I wish Ebola could be eradicated from the planet.
c'mon racism plays a role as well. in this situation yes, it is capitalism first, but racism as well. if ebola outbroke in the us in a small black but also poor community, it is safe from experience to say, nothing would have been done even though the potential for profit for big pharma from the federal government would be very high. @ 36:00 cue truth.
