00:00You said that if you look at this in a lab, it's not particularly aggressive.
00:04Do you think this is a positive signal that without a vaccine, people can still make a full recovery after
00:10diagnosis?
00:11Or was a lot of the problem in the DRC environment not good diets, not good hospital care?
00:17I think all this really shows is that we are very early into this Ebola outbreak.
00:22We would expect 50 percent or more of the people who get infected to eventually survive the illness.
00:29Yes. And yeah, now that we're at five, that's a good sign.
00:33And heart goes out to those people.
00:34I know some of those were nurses that were trying to treat Ebola victims.
00:39Yeah, there is more to come and it is going to get worse before it gets better.
00:44Right now, they do not have a very good idea of the basic replication rate, like how fast the virus
00:50is spreading,
00:50because they're still uncovering new pockets of spread that happens before anyone knew that it was spreading.
00:59Right now, we're closing the financier.
00:59So, we are ready.
