Be. Lauren . Besides starving the im going to try to be better about giving affiliations. Go ahead. Republicans have made clear they plan to load up appropriations building with riders targeting many of these things. They and industry folks indicate they think they could see wins there with deadlines or what have you and also maybe not necessarily climaterelated but ozone or clean water act. Are you prepared to negotiate with republicans on these issue snz s . Do you think you and the president will stand your ground and not give . Do you see room for compromise . You know, i feel very confident that the president has the best interests of epa in mind. He has made very clear what his priorities are. So i feel like were on very solid ground in recognizing that there may be challenges ahead but that the president will do the right thing. And he has made those, i think, interests clear. So you know, the other point id just like to make on top of that while theres a lot of discussion and t
A negative ebola test result means a patient doesnt have ebola but just this week a physician died after being flown to nebraska for emergency treatment after initial tests showed a negative test. His colleagues are in quarantine causing greater anxiety in a medical profession lost more than 500 to ebola. Hospitals and Healthcare Workers were to have proper guidance on personal protective kwichlt. Cdc guideline do not require a threeweek selfisolation period for healthcare officials. They can return to work immediately. But the hospitals i talked to did not agree. I asked an er doctor from my district about whether any of his colleagues volunteering in west africa could come back to work immediately. He had a simple response. I quote him. He said, they should stay away. The administration continues to pose travel restrictions and quarantines yet respected institutions have policies to ensure Public Health is protected. Its impossible for the American People to understand why the govern
Child, that would be the best thing that could happen for our country. To me, its absolutely the marriage rate. Brad wilcoxs article in the index makes it screamingly clear. Theres been a 10point reduction in the marriage rate in the last decade. What astonished me looking at the numbers again is that its been 50 since the era of the 19 physician. We all talk about out of wedlock childbearing. The childberg is not the problem. We are below replacement rate birth rate in the united states. Only two years of the last 42 have we been above replacement, even with the influence of immigrants to the country. Its the out of wedlock thing. And ill add one last point to that out of personal experience. I imagine theres some in the audience too. When young people come out of college, and theyre doing what we consider pursuing the American Dream in the right way, and their initial experience is a debt thats larger than the mortgage of their parents, we have a problem. It is its not the only reaso
Of the individual from where they are to a hospital ready and waiting for them. They were cared for safely in that system. Yesterday, we notified people that starting today, we will be doing that same kind of active monitoring for everyone who arrives in mali. Not because we believe there is widespread transmission but because there are so many contacts there and we are not yet confident that they are all being identified and monitored daily. If one comes here, we dont want to take the risk that they may become ill and the Health Care System would not be aware of it. We dont know that we have the perfect response but like everything in Public Health, everything for clinical medicine, everything in science, we use data to continuously improve practices. That is the approach we will take. We work with the Health Care System to strengthen control. They have visited three dozen hospitals all over the country and a dozen states to assess the ready. They provided the tests for ebola. Usually
Every one of those cases needs that kind of response that i described. Going to be incredibly difficult. A reminder that cases are still growing. Despite some progress, there was more cases in west africa in october than there were in september and though the numbers decreased in liberia, we believe, there are so many cases that we are not able to do the kind of outbreak control as needed and so many communities that have not yet had cases that need intensive control measures. In october, west africa had more all of the than in recorded ebola outbreaks over the last 40 years. We have a long way to go but we do have proof of principle and we do have tremendous commitment from societies. My team was describing how many communities themselves were taking action among they identified buildings or schools to isolate and care for people with ebola. They tracked the contacts so they would be rapidly isolated and would not further spread disease. This is outdated because it is from yesterday.
