Clinicians across 236 00:21:48,899 --> 00:21:50,333 is a group. Clinicians across the world who are dealing with 237 00:21:50,333 --> 00:21:52,100 the world who are dealing with patients for Coen 19 and 238 00:21:52,100 --> 00:21:53,433 patients for Coen 19 and specifically talking with our 239 00:21:53,433 --> 00:21:54,899 specifically talking with our pediatricians who are part of 240 00:21:54,899 --> 00:21:57,299 pediatricians who are part of that global network and in 241 00:21:57,299 --> 00:22:00,000 that global network and in doing so asking who has seen 242 00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:01,699 doing so asking who has seen this in their countries where 243 00:22:01,699 --> 00:22:04,166 this in their countries where they have seen it how often 244 00:22:04,166 --> 00:22:05,400 they have seen it how often they have seen it what this 245 00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:08,000 they have seen it what this syndrome actually looks like 246 00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:10,833 syndrome actually looks like and in doing so raise the alert 247 00:22:10,833 --> 00:22:12,299 and in doing so raise the alert among this global network. 248 00:22:12,299 --> 00:22:13,233 among this global network. we’ve heard of additional 249 00:22:13,233 --> 00:22:14,233 we’ve heard of additional reports in a in a few 250 00:22:14,233 --> 00:22:16,699 reports in a in a few countries. In the United 251 00:22:16,699 --> 00:22:19,100 countries. In the United States, including Italy and so 252 00:22:19,100 --> 00:22:20,833 States, including Italy and so we’re learning that it seems to 253 00:22:20,833 --> 00:22:23,867 we’re learning that it seems to be a very rare syndrome, but we 254 00:22:23,867 --> 00:22:26,400 be a very rare syndrome, but we need more information and we 255 00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:28,233 need more information and we need more information collected 256 00:22:28,233 --> 00:22:30,633 need more information collected in a systematic way because 257 00:22:30,633 --> 00:22:31,867 in a systematic way because with the initial reports, we’re 258 00:22:31,867 --> 00:22:32,967 with the initial reports, we’re getting a description of what 259 00:22:32,967 --> 00:22:34,300 getting a description of what this looks like which is not 260 00:22:34,300 --> 00:22:36,400 this looks like which is not always the same and in some 261 00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:37,667 always the same and in some children they’ve tested 262 00:22:37,667 --> 00:22:40,299 children they’ve tested positive for Covid- 19, but 263 00:22:40,299 --> 00:22:41,400 positive for Covid- 19, but other children have not so we 264 00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:42,899 other children have not so we don’t know if this is 265 00:22:42,899 --> 00:22:43,633 don’t know if this is Associated with Covid- 19 or 266 00:22:43,633 --> 00:22:46,266 Associated with Covid- 19 or not. so what we’ve done is to. 267 00:22:46,266 --> 00:22:48,400 not. so what we’ve done is to. Our clinical network and 268 00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:50,000 Our clinical network and together with our partners is 269 00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:51,967 together with our partners is put together a case report 270 00:22:51,967 --> 00:22:53,900 put together a case report form. So this is this is a data 271 00:22:53,900 --> 00:22:55,566 form. So this is this is a data collection tool in which 272 00:22:55,566 --> 00:22:57,800 collection tool in which clinicians can use to collect 273 00:22:57,800 --> 00:22:58,400 clinicians can use to collect standardized information so 274 00:22:58,400 --> 00:22:59,967 standardized information so that we can better understand 275 00:22:59,967 --> 00:23:01,000 that we can better understand what this disease looks like 276 00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:03,433 what this disease looks like how we could better develop 277 00:23:03,433 --> 00:23:06,333 how we could better develop treatments for this and that’s 278 00:23:06,333 --> 00:23:08,566 treatments for this and that’s important. So so far we 279 00:23:08,566 --> 00:23:10,233 important. So so far we understand that it’s rare but 280 00:23:10,233 --> 00:23:10,999 understand that it’s rare but we are hearing more and more 281 00:23:10,999 --> 00:23:12,700 we are hearing more and more reports about it because people 282 00:23:12,700 --> 00:23:13,799 reports about it because people are on the lookout so as the 283 00:23:13,799 --> 00:23:17,233 are on the lookout so as the director. Has said and as we’ve 284 00:23:17,233 --> 00:23:18,633 director. Has said and as we’ve said that we need clinicians to 285 00:23:18,633 --> 00:23:20,167 said that we need clinicians to be on alert for this to look 286 00:23:20,167 --> 00:23:22,167 be on alert for this to look for it, but also to ensure that 287 00:23:22,167 --> 00:23:22,899 for it, but also to ensure that we collect standardized 288 00:23:22,899 --> 00:23:23,633 we collect standardized information so that we can 289 00:23:23,633 --> 00:23:26,400 information so that we can better describe what this is 290 00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:27,033 better describe what this is and so that we can we can 291 00:23:27,033 --> 00:23:33,267 and so that we can we can develop better treatment.

Around the world of many systems around the world, 355 00:25:45,733 --> 00:25:49,400 many systems around the world, when you see that rapid rise in 356 00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:50,899 when you see that rapid rise in cases systems can struggle to 357 00:25:50,899 --> 00:25:52,499 cases systems can struggle to cope with that case load them 358 00:25:52,499 --> 00:25:55,233 cope with that case load them with adapting to that and 359 00:25:55,233 --> 00:25:56,233 with adapting to that and adjusting and been able to deal 360 00:25:56,233 --> 00:25:59,000 adjusting and been able to deal with it to deal with it 361 00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:01,866 with it to deal with it effectively certainly from the 362 00:26:01,866 --> 00:26:03,099 effectively certainly from the perspective of the Russian 363 00:26:03,099 --> 00:26:04,633 perspective of the Russian Federation, they’ve been very 364 00:26:04,633 --> 00:26:06,100 Federation, they’ve been very good at ramping up testing and 365 00:26:06,100 --> 00:26:08,100 good at ramping up testing and making testing more available, 366 00:26:08,100 --> 00:26:08,900 making testing more available, but it is still in certain 367 00:26:08,900 --> 00:26:09,966 but it is still in certain areas that the number of cases 368 00:26:09,966 --> 00:26:10,666 areas that the number of cases is stressing the health care 369 00:26:10,666 --> 00:26:14,000 is stressing the health care system. and there have been a 370 00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:16,266 system. and there have been a relatively small number of 371 00:26:16,266 --> 00:26:17,299 relatively small number of reported deaths and we’re 372 00:26:17,299 --> 00:26:18,933 reported deaths and we’re looking at that with our 373 00:26:18,933 --> 00:26:20,533 looking at that with our colleagues in the federation 374 00:26:20,533 --> 00:26:22,000 colleagues in the federation from the perspective of the way 375 00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:23,633 from the perspective of the way that’s a record and I think 376 00:26:23,633 --> 00:26:24,433 that’s a record and I think this is another issue. We’re 377 00:26:24,433 --> 00:26:25,299 this is another issue. We’re seeing around the world. people 378 00:26:25,299 --> 00:26:26,966 seeing around the world. people are struggling with how to 379 00:26:26,966 --> 00:26:28,966 are struggling with how to record the day-I deaths 380 00:26:28,966 --> 00:26:31,033 record the day-I deaths recorded as confirmed cases who 381 00:26:31,033 --> 00:26:32,899 recorded as confirmed cases who die or is the death recordings 382 00:26:32,899 --> 00:26:35,099 die or is the death recordings to a post mortal diagnosis 383 00:26:35,099 --> 00:26:37,800 to a post mortal diagnosis where a physician declares or 384 00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:39,433 where a physician declares or certifies the death, and 385 00:26:39,433 --> 00:26:40,100 certifies the death, and there’s some confusion at times 386 00:26:40,100 --> 00:26:41,033 there’s some confusion at times as to whether if someone dies 387 00:26:41,033 --> 00:26:44,600 as to whether if someone dies of a heart attack. I had did 388 00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:46,866 of a heart attack. I had did they die from Cort with a heart 389 00:26:46,866 --> 00:26:48,699 they die from Cort with a heart attack, or did they die from a 390 00:26:48,699 --> 00:26:50,033 attack, or did they die from a heart of while having covered 391 00:26:50,033 --> 00:26:51,633 heart of while having covered and if that’s not done clearly, 392 00:26:51,633 --> 00:26:55,233 and if that’s not done clearly, then you can go with 19 related 393 00:26:55,233 --> 00:26:58,000 then you can go with 19 related deaths WHO has issued very 394 00:26:58,000 --> 00:26:59,534 deaths WHO has issued very specific guidance around the 395 00:26:59,534 --> 00:27:00,699 specific guidance around the classification or mortality 396 00:27:00,699 --> 00:27:02,000 classification or mortality relates to cover to appoint you 397 00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:03,633 relates to cover to appoint you to our guidance on that on our 398 00:27:03,633 --> 00:27:06,067 to our guidance on that on our website. I did speak with the 399 00:27:06,067 --> 00:27:10,200 website. I did speak with the with the colleagues doctors and 400 00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:13,133 with the colleagues doctors and others at the Rana Today 401 00:27:13,133 --> 00:27:15,699 others at the Rana Today because we are interested in 402 00:27:15,699 --> 00:27:16,400 because we are interested in understanding more of the 403 00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:17,832 understanding more of the surveillance and how it’s being 404 00:27:17,832 --> 00:27:19,666 surveillance and how it’s being done in Russia and particularly 405 00:27:19,666 --> 00:27:21,100 done in Russia and particularly how mortality has been 406 00:27:21,100 --> 00:27:23,000 how mortality has been recorded. I’m not aware of the 407 00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:25,066 recorded. I’m not aware of the issues you raised regarding PE 408 00:27:25,066 --> 00:27:27,099 issues you raised regarding PE will certainly look into that. 409 00:27:27,099 --> 00:27:28,266 will certainly look into that. it is not appropriate for 410 00:27:28,266 --> 00:27:28,899 it is not appropriate for front-line staff to be 411 00:27:28,899 --> 00:27:32,633 front-line staff to be operating without adequate, 412 00:27:32,633 --> 00:27:33,433 operating without adequate, personal protective equipment 413 00:27:33,433 --> 00:27:35,000 personal protective equipment and adequate training. But 414 00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:36,833 and adequate training. But again we have seen that happen 415 00:27:36,833 --> 00:27:38,000 again we have seen that happen all over the world tragically 416 00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:39,833 all over the world tragically and we will do all possible to 417 00:27:39,833 --> 00:27:40,233 and we will do all possible to support our colleagues in 418 00:27:40,233 --> 00:27:41,133 support our colleagues in Russia to ensure that that’s 419 00:27:41,133 --> 00:27:43,967 Russia to ensure that that’s the situation. It exists does 420 00:27:43,967 --> 00:27:47,299 the situation. It exists does not persist. 421 00:27:48,833 --> 00:27:50,067 Next question and this is 422 00:27:50,067 --> 00:27:52,932 Next question and this is coming from our colleague who 423 00:27:52,932 --> 00:27:56,866 coming from our colleague who works for a news agency from 424 00:27:56,866 --> 00:28:00,633 works for a news agency from Turkey.

That’s the Exchange of 446 00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:15,233 That’s the Exchange of information on health in 447 00:29:15,233 --> 00:29:22,600 information on health in Brazil. And that we then had a 448 00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:23,599 Brazil. And that we then had a new Minister who had a 449 00:29:23,599 --> 00:29:25,499 new Minister who had a different position to our 450 00:29:25,499 --> 00:29:28,932 different position to our President Barcelona and he 451 00:29:28,932 --> 00:29:32,500 President Barcelona and he talked about 452 00:29:32,533 --> 00:29:39,433 a vertical systems’ you and 453 00:29:39,433 --> 00:29:41,533 a vertical systems’ you and they considered the essential 454 00:29:41,533 --> 00:29:43,700 they considered the essential services. I’m not going to ask 455 00:29:43,700 --> 00:29:44,067 services. I’m not going to ask about the policies, but I’d 456 00:29:44,067 --> 00:29:49,800 about the policies, but I’d like to have about. To hear 457 00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:54,033 like to have about. To hear about guidance and how the fact 458 00:29:54,033 --> 00:29:54,666 about guidance and how the fact that Brazilians have ended up 459 00:29:54,666 --> 00:29:58,000 that Brazilians have ended up feeling so lost because of the 460 00:29:58,000 --> 00:29:58,667 feeling so lost because of the different points of view that’s 461 00:29:58,667 --> 00:30:00,000 different points of view that’s been hearing. so we’d like to 462 00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:01,033 been hearing. so we’d like to know about what are really the 463 00:30:01,033 --> 00:30:02,500 know about what are really the essential points that should be 464 00:30:02,500 --> 00:30:08,166 essential points that should be considered. Thank you, I don’t 465 00:30:08,166 --> 00:30:13,000 considered. Thank you, I don’t think that the question is from 466 00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:14,432 think that the question is from the perspective in Brazil, 467 00:30:14,432 --> 00:30:16,033 the perspective in Brazil, we’ve seen the increase in the 468 00:30:16,033 --> 00:30:18,067 we’ve seen the increase in the number of cases and in general 469 00:30:18,067 --> 00:30:18,800 number of cases and in general we’ve seen an increase in the 470 00:30:18,800 --> 00:30:19,467 we’ve seen an increase in the number of Central and South 471 00:30:19,467 --> 00:30:22,767 number of Central and South American country. 472 00:30:22,767 --> 00:30:22,800 American country. And 473 00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:24,067 And I think this has been a 474 00:30:24,067 --> 00:30:26,200 And I think this has been a factor in many large Federated 475 00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:28,000 factor in many large Federated States and the director general 476 00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:29,400 States and the director general has I think, said this many 477 00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:33,667 has I think, said this many many times regardless of the 478 00:30:33,667 --> 00:30:34,267 many times regardless of the effectiveness of the health 479 00:30:34,267 --> 00:30:36,467 effectiveness of the health system. What’s really crucial 480 00:30:36,467 --> 00:30:37,433 system. What’s really crucial is that there’s coherence 481 00:30:37,433 --> 00:30:41,334 is that there’s coherence cohesion and a cross-party all 482 00:30:41,334 --> 00:30:43,200 cohesion and a cross-party all of government all of society 483 00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:45,334 of government all of society approach especially in large 484 00:30:45,334 --> 00:30:47,367 approach especially in large Federated States where that’s 485 00:30:47,367 --> 00:30:47,967 Federated States where that’s communities need to hear a 486 00:30:47,967 --> 00:30:49,000 communities need to hear a consistent message from 487 00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:52,267 consistent message from leadership at all. 488 00:30:52,433 --> 00:30:53,867 And that message needs to be 489 00:30:53,867 --> 00:30:57,600 And that message needs to be clear and and governments need 490 00:30:57,600 --> 00:30:59,367 clear and and governments need to walk the talk of those 491 00:30:59,367 --> 00:31:02,033 to walk the talk of those messages. so I think all 492 00:31:02,033 --> 00:31:02,833 messages. so I think all countries have struggled and 493 00:31:02,833 --> 00:31:04,467 countries have struggled and this is not a phenomenon and 494 00:31:04,467 --> 00:31:06,067 this is not a phenomenon and unique to Brazil. It is 495 00:31:06,067 --> 00:31:07,267 unique to Brazil. It is difficult in the face of a 496 00:31:07,267 --> 00:31:09,433 difficult in the face of a major crisis to maintain that 497 00:31:09,433 --> 00:31:11,600 major crisis to maintain that cohesion to maintain trust with 498 00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:13,300 cohesion to maintain trust with society to ensure that 499 00:31:13,300 --> 00:31:15,367 society to ensure that governance is driven by science 500 00:31:15,367 --> 00:31:17,867 governance is driven by science and these are the factors the 501 00:31:17,867 --> 00:31:19,400 and these are the factors the behaviors and the ethos that 502 00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:22,400 behaviors and the ethos that drives a perfect. Not the 503 00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:24,467 drives a perfect. Not the perfect response, but that a 504 00:31:24,467 --> 00:31:26,200 perfect response, but that a good response, no response is 505 00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:27,367 good response, no response is perfect. It’s very difficult to 506 00:31:27,367 --> 00:31:29,000 perfect. It’s very difficult to look at any response around the 507 00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:30,433 look at any response around the world and say that anyone who’s 508 00:31:30,433 --> 00:31:32,534 world and say that anyone who’s got a completely right, but 509 00:31:32,534 --> 00:31:34,467 got a completely right, but those who’ve got it better have 510 00:31:34,467 --> 00:31:36,667 those who’ve got it better have been those countries that have 511 00:31:36,667 --> 00:31:39,433 been those countries that have really worked in a cohesive 512 00:31:39,433 --> 00:31:40,967 really worked in a cohesive clear communication with 513 00:31:40,967 --> 00:31:42,566 clear communication with populations, simple messages 514 00:31:42,566 --> 00:31:45,000 populations, simple messages and and all party and all of 515 00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:48,333 and and all party and all of society approach. 516 00:31:50,067 --> 00:31:51,100 Thank you very much so we have 517 00:31:51,100 --> 00:31:53,600 Thank you very much so we have a couple of reporters.

So to add briefly, yes, we another 700 00:39:16,366 --> 00:39:18,000 briefly, yes, we another worrying trend in the Middle 701 00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:20,067 worrying trend in the Middle East are increasing case 702 00:39:20,067 --> 00:39:21,800 East are increasing case numbers in dormitories where 703 00:39:21,800 --> 00:39:24,000 numbers in dormitories where many expat workers live and in 704 00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:25,667 many expat workers live and in a number of countries across 705 00:39:25,667 --> 00:39:26,266 a number of countries across the Gulf States, a large 706 00:39:26,266 --> 00:39:28,167 the Gulf States, a large proportion of the population 707 00:39:28,167 --> 00:39:29,567 proportion of the population that lived there are not from 708 00:39:29,567 --> 00:39:32,367 that lived there are not from not from that country and so 709 00:39:32,367 --> 00:39:34,866 not from that country and so today we had a preliminary 710 00:39:34,866 --> 00:39:36,133 today we had a preliminary teleconference between several 711 00:39:36,133 --> 00:39:36,600 teleconference between several countries and our eastern 712 00:39:36,600 --> 00:39:37,900 countries and our eastern Mediterranean regional office, 713 00:39:37,900 --> 00:39:40,500 Mediterranean regional office, as well as some colleagues from 714 00:39:40,500 --> 00:39:42,000 as well as some colleagues from Singapore to Exchange and to 715 00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:45,333 Singapore to Exchange and to share experiences to to. Learn 716 00:39:45,333 --> 00:39:47,432 share experiences to to. Learn from each other about the 717 00:39:47,432 --> 00:39:48,966 from each other about the outbreaks that are happening in 718 00:39:48,966 --> 00:39:50,566 outbreaks that are happening in these settings they’re very 719 00:39:50,566 --> 00:39:52,900 these settings they’re very similar conditions and the 720 00:39:52,900 --> 00:39:54,433 similar conditions and the fundamentals of what need to be 721 00:39:54,433 --> 00:39:55,567 fundamentals of what need to be done in each one of these 722 00:39:55,567 --> 00:39:57,666 done in each one of these settings are the same. so it 723 00:39:57,666 --> 00:39:59,467 settings are the same. so it was a it was a very good 724 00:39:59,467 --> 00:40:00,067 was a it was a very good opportunity to be able to 725 00:40:00,067 --> 00:40:01,500 opportunity to be able to Exchange and learn from one 726 00:40:01,500 --> 00:40:03,800 Exchange and learn from one another to see how these 727 00:40:03,800 --> 00:40:05,167 another to see how these outbreaks could be brought 728 00:40:05,167 --> 00:40:06,600 outbreaks could be brought under control and so that we 729 00:40:06,600 --> 00:40:08,766 under control and so that we can prevent them from happening 730 00:40:08,766 --> 00:40:11,033 can prevent them from happening and we hope to have more 731 00:40:11,033 --> 00:40:11,667 and we hope to have more teleconferences like this. I 732 00:40:11,667 --> 00:40:12,500 teleconferences like this. I think one of the things in this 733 00:40:12,500 --> 00:40:17,000 think one of the things in this pandemic All epidemics the 734 00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:19,367 pandemic All epidemics the value of WHO and our partners 735 00:40:19,367 --> 00:40:22,333 value of WHO and our partners is to bring people together so 736 00:40:22,333 --> 00:40:24,100 is to bring people together so that’s what they’re going 737 00:40:24,100 --> 00:40:26,300 that’s what they’re going through and how they are 738 00:40:26,300 --> 00:40:29,533 through and how they are dealing with it can be shared 739 00:40:29,533 --> 00:40:30,167 dealing with it can be shared and each can learn from each 740 00:40:30,167 --> 00:40:33,400 and each can learn from each other on that. 741 00:40:34,733 --> 00:40:37,567 And the next question is for 742 00:40:37,567 --> 00:40:41,733 And the next question is for health policy. Watch we have a 743 00:40:41,733 --> 00:40:45,399 health policy. Watch we have a grace online Grace. 744 00:40:45,799 --> 00:40:49,467 Grace can you imagine yourself? 745 00:40:49,467 --> 00:40:50,233 Grace can you imagine yourself? please Hi Thank you so much can 746 00:40:50,233 --> 00:40:53,732 please Hi Thank you so much can you hear me?

I just wanted to ask for a little bit 750 00:40:58,300 --> 00:41:02,733 wanted to ask for a little bit more clarity on the Costa Rica 751 00:41:02,733 --> 00:41:04,433 more clarity on the Costa Rica initiative. what is the 752 00:41:04,433 --> 00:41:06,000 initiative. what is the difference between this and the 753 00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:09,599 difference between this and the ACT Xler operator And who like 754 00:41:09,599 --> 00:41:12,033 ACT Xler operator And who like who has been supporting this 755 00:41:12,033 --> 00:41:13,233 who has been supporting this initiative so far most member 756 00:41:13,233 --> 00:41:16,767 initiative so far most member States. Thank you. Thank you 757 00:41:16,767 --> 00:41:21,632 States. Thank you. Thank you for the question first of all 758 00:41:21,632 --> 00:41:23,833 for the question first of all this is the this is 759 00:41:23,833 --> 00:41:26,500 this is the this is complementary to the act 760 00:41:26,500 --> 00:41:27,867 complementary to the act accelerator because it provides 761 00:41:27,867 --> 00:41:30,533 accelerator because it provides an operational framework for 762 00:41:30,533 --> 00:41:32,432 an operational framework for not only sharing knowledge data 763 00:41:32,432 --> 00:41:35,834 not only sharing knowledge data related to technology, but also 764 00:41:35,834 --> 00:41:39,067 related to technology, but also the opportunity to do a 765 00:41:39,067 --> 00:41:43,000 the opportunity to do a repository on open licensing 766 00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:44,600 repository on open licensing intellectual voluntary licences 767 00:41:44,600 --> 00:41:49,266 intellectual voluntary licences and we are expecting a. 768 00:42:19,967 --> 00:42:23,066 It will provide an opportunity 769 00:42:23,066 --> 00:42:26,266 It will provide an opportunity for member States for industry 770 00:42:26,266 --> 00:42:29,233 for member States for industry and research in academics in 771 00:42:29,233 --> 00:42:31,767 and research in academics in general to create this use the 772 00:42:31,767 --> 00:42:34,199 general to create this use the momentum the solidarity 773 00:42:34,199 --> 00:42:35,800 momentum the solidarity momentum to create a pool of 774 00:42:35,800 --> 00:42:38,033 momentum to create a pool of knowledge in a pool of a 775 00:42:38,033 --> 00:42:40,400 knowledge in a pool of a licensing, A members said the 776 00:42:40,400 --> 00:42:42,166 licensing, A members said the reason why this is only the pre 777 00:42:42,166 --> 00:42:43,400 reason why this is only the pre launch today because they’re 778 00:42:43,400 --> 00:42:46,367 launch today because they’re still we have several member 779 00:42:46,367 --> 00:42:47,266 still we have several member States we we are in negotiation 780 00:42:47,266 --> 00:42:50,333 States we we are in negotiation with Costa Rica. Required a 781 00:42:50,333 --> 00:42:53,367 with Costa Rica. Required a little bit more time to 782 00:42:53,367 --> 00:42:56,166 little bit more time to finalize the call to action, 783 00:42:56,166 --> 00:42:57,567 finalize the call to action, and this is the reason why they 784 00:42:57,567 --> 00:43:01,267 and this is the reason why they didn’t do up full launch today, 785 00:43:01,267 --> 00:43:03,300 didn’t do up full launch today, but this is expected to happen 786 00:43:03,300 --> 00:43:06,000 but this is expected to happen in the in in two weeks time and 787 00:43:06,000 --> 00:43:07,500 in the in in two weeks time and we will have member States from 788 00:43:07,500 --> 00:43:08,299 we will have member States from all regions coming in. Thank 789 00:43:08,299 --> 00:43:11,332 all regions coming in. Thank you. 790 00:43:13,400 --> 00:43:17,533 To you very much asimo for this 791 00:43:17,533 --> 00:43:20,067 To you very much asimo for this answer and now we will go to 792 00:43:20,067 --> 00:43:22,866 answer and now we will go to Pian Huang from National Public 793 00:43:22,866 --> 00:43:26,233 Pian Huang from National Public Radio from the US Can you hear 794 00:43:26,233 --> 00:43:28,533 Radio from the US Can you hear me? Hi? Thank you for taking my 795 00:43:28,533 --> 00:43:30,832 me? Hi? Thank you for taking my question so yesterday WHO 796 00:43:30,832 --> 00:43:32,299 question so yesterday WHO published a paper and BMJ, 797 00:43:32,299 --> 00:43:33,600 published a paper and BMJ, which gives a worst-case 798 00:43:33,600 --> 00:43:35,967 which gives a worst-case scenario of a hundred and 90000 799 00:43:35,967 --> 00:43:37,767 scenario of a hundred and 90000 deaths across Africa in the 800 00:43:37,767 --> 00:43:39,700 deaths across Africa in the next year that’s bad, but it’s 801 00:43:39,700 --> 00:43:40,100 next year that’s bad, but it’s much lower than a worst case 802 00:43:40,100 --> 00:43:41,633 much lower than a worst case scenario of three million 803 00:43:41,633 --> 00:43:42,666 scenario of three million deaths that are UN report 804 00:43:42,666 --> 00:43:44,000 deaths that are UN report projected last month, so the 805 00:43:44,000 --> 00:43:45,467 projected last month, so the assumption now is that the 806 00:43:45,467 --> 00:43:47,667 assumption now is that the virus will spread slower and 807 00:43:47,667 --> 00:43:49,366 virus will spread slower and have a lower mortality rate in 808 00:43:49,366 --> 00:43:51,332 have a lower mortality rate in Africa. I wanted to ask what 809 00:43:51,332 --> 00:43:51,800 Africa. I wanted to ask what has changed in our 810 00:43:51,800 --> 00:43:55,000 has changed in our understanding. 811 00:43:57,266 --> 00:43:59,834 thanks for the question I have 812 00:43:59,834 --> 00:44:01,400 thanks for the question I have to admit I haven’t read that 813 00:44:01,400 --> 00:44:05,133 to admit I haven’t read that paper but a reduction of deaths 814 00:44:05,133 --> 00:44:06,399 paper but a reduction of deaths but still saying 815 00:44:06,399 --> 00:44:08,000 but still saying A hundred and 90000 deaths is 816 00:44:08,000 --> 00:44:10,667 A hundred and 90000 deaths is still a pretty high number and 817 00:44:10,667 --> 00:44:11,933 still a pretty high number and I understand that this is a 818 00:44:11,933 --> 00:44:14,432 I understand that this is a modeling analysis and we know 819 00:44:14,432 --> 00:44:16,967 modeling analysis and we know that when we do these estimates 820 00:44:16,967 --> 00:44:18,567 that when we do these estimates these are very important for us 821 00:44:18,567 --> 00:44:21,367 these are very important for us to help plan and to help us 822 00:44:21,367 --> 00:44:24,199 to help plan and to help us prepare and to get countries 823 00:44:24,199 --> 00:44:25,500 prepare and to get countries ready for how to build the 824 00:44:25,500 --> 00:44:26,133 ready for how to build the workforce How many contractors 825 00:44:26,133 --> 00:44:27,266 workforce How many contractors do we need how many clinicians 826 00:44:27,266 --> 00:44:30,333 do we need how many clinicians and Nurses and medical 827 00:44:30,333 --> 00:44:32,100 and Nurses and medical professionals do we need how 828 00:44:32,100 --> 00:44:34,466 professionals do we need how many beds do we need and in 829 00:44:34,466 --> 00:44:35,900 many beds do we need and in particular, ICU or oxygen 830 00:44:35,900 --> 00:44:39,866 particular, ICU or oxygen support Vilar support treatment 831 00:44:39,866 --> 00:44:42,600 support Vilar support treatment centers etcetera, and these 832 00:44:42,600 --> 00:44:43,833 centers etcetera, and these scenarios that are estimated at 833 00:44:43,833 --> 00:44:45,700 scenarios that are estimated at the models that make these 834 00:44:45,700 --> 00:44:46,933 the models that make these estimates are really helpful 835 00:44:46,933 --> 00:44:49,199 estimates are really helpful for planning purposes, but we 836 00:44:49,199 --> 00:44:51,867 for planning purposes, but we also know that there are tools 837 00:44:51,867 --> 00:44:53,633 also know that there are tools that we have that we could 838 00:44:53,633 --> 00:44:55,632 that we have that we could prevent these numbers from 839 00:44:55,632 --> 00:44:56,267 prevent these numbers from becoming realities and that’s 840 00:44:56,267 --> 00:44:59,599 becoming realities and that’s the for me one of the most. 841 00:44:59,599 --> 00:45:01,933 the for me one of the most. Values of these models is to 842 00:45:01,933 --> 00:45:03,766 Values of these models is to ensure that we take the right 843 00:45:03,766 --> 00:45:06,266 ensure that we take the right precautions. we put the right 844 00:45:06,266 --> 00:45:09,333 precautions. we put the right emphasis in these interventions 845 00:45:09,333 --> 00:45:11,566 emphasis in these interventions where they need to be done so 846 00:45:11,566 --> 00:45:12,133 where they need to be done so that these numbers do not 847 00:45:12,133 --> 00:45:15,533 that these numbers do not become reality. 848 00:45:15,899 --> 00:45:20,366 And if I could just maybe add 849 00:45:20,366 --> 00:45:25,400 And if I could just maybe add the well the numbers in Africa 850 00:45:25,400 --> 00:45:27,967 the well the numbers in Africa are well below the rest of the 851 00:45:27,967 --> 00:45:29,566 are well below the rest of the world and as testing roles out, 852 00:45:29,566 --> 00:45:31,000 world and as testing roles out, we may find more and more 853 00:45:31,000 --> 00:45:32,866 we may find more and more cases. It’s also been clear in 854 00:45:32,866 --> 00:45:36,333 cases. It’s also been clear in other regions that we’ve seen a 855 00:45:36,333 --> 00:45:38,366 other regions that we’ve seen a potentially long period for the 856 00:45:38,366 --> 00:45:39,333 potentially long period for the disease established itself, and 857 00:45:39,333 --> 00:45:40,533 disease established itself, and then a particular moment comes 858 00:45:40,533 --> 00:45:43,067 then a particular moment comes when the disease takes off more 859 00:45:43,067 --> 00:45:44,467 when the disease takes off more exponentially. That time is not 860 00:45:44,467 --> 00:45:45,466 exponentially. That time is not well determined, but we are 861 00:45:45,466 --> 00:45:49,033 well determined, but we are seeing you. Increased activity 862 00:45:49,033 --> 00:45:51,866 seeing you. Increased activity over the last week in in places 863 00:45:51,866 --> 00:45:54,567 over the last week in in places like Gabo, there’s 864 00:45:54,567 --> 00:45:55,199 like Gabo, there’s a hundred and 53 percent 865 00:45:55,199 --> 00:45:58,000 a hundred and 53 percent increase of cases in just a 866 00:45:58,000 --> 00:46:00,967 increase of cases in just a week. Zambia is equally had a 867 00:46:00,967 --> 00:46:02,333 week. Zambia is equally had a large increase in cases, Chadd 868 00:46:02,333 --> 00:46:04,999 large increase in cases, Chadd has increased by over a hundred 869 00:46:04,999 --> 00:46:07,532 has increased by over a hundred percent. Benin has increased by 870 00:46:07,532 --> 00:46:10,332 percent. Benin has increased by over 200 percent. Now. the 871 00:46:10,332 --> 00:46:11,799 over 200 percent. Now. the numbers remain low, but what’s 872 00:46:11,799 --> 00:46:13,466 numbers remain low, but what’s concerning is the trajectory 873 00:46:13,466 --> 00:46:14,133 concerning is the trajectory the direction of travel of the 874 00:46:14,133 --> 00:46:15,233 the direction of travel of the curve, so we need to be 875 00:46:15,233 --> 00:46:19,600 curve, so we need to be exceptionally. Careful at this 876 00:46:19,600 --> 00:46:21,567 exceptionally. Careful at this point not to under represent 877 00:46:21,567 --> 00:46:22,633 point not to under represent the potential impact of the 878 00:46:22,633 --> 00:46:23,967 the potential impact of the disease. why at the same time 879 00:46:23,967 --> 00:46:26,433 disease. why at the same time recognizing that we must 880 00:46:26,433 --> 00:46:27,833 recognizing that we must maintain other essential health 881 00:46:27,833 --> 00:46:29,567 maintain other essential health services. We must be extremely 882 00:46:29,567 --> 00:46:33,500 services. We must be extremely sensitive to the fact that 883 00:46:33,500 --> 00:46:35,433 sensitive to the fact that that’s lockdowns are very 884 00:46:35,433 --> 00:46:36,133 that’s lockdowns are very extreme, public health and 885 00:46:36,133 --> 00:46:37,300 extreme, public health and social measures aimed at 886 00:46:37,300 --> 00:46:39,500 social measures aimed at stuffing the spread of Cort 19, 887 00:46:39,500 --> 00:46:41,400 stuffing the spread of Cort 19, have a deep impact on lives and 888 00:46:41,400 --> 00:46:44,133 have a deep impact on lives and livelihoods. We have to find a 889 00:46:44,133 --> 00:46:45,599 livelihoods. We have to find a balanced strategy that manages 890 00:46:45,599 --> 00:46:46,800 balanced strategy that manages the risks of the disease 891 00:46:46,800 --> 00:46:49,600 the risks of the disease against the risks. Lives and 892 00:46:49,600 --> 00:46:50,900 against the risks. Lives and livelihood, and that’s 893 00:46:50,900 --> 00:46:51,900 livelihood, and that’s something that we’ve said since 894 00:46:51,900 --> 00:46:53,467 something that we’ve said since the beginning and we’ve been 895 00:46:53,467 --> 00:46:56,033 the beginning and we’ve been very clear, a comprehensive 896 00:46:56,033 --> 00:46:57,333 very clear, a comprehensive strategy is not a 897 00:46:57,333 --> 00:46:58,333 strategy is not a comprehensive. A comprehensive 898 00:46:58,333 --> 00:47:00,000 comprehensive. A comprehensive strategy is a strategy of 899 00:47:00,000 --> 00:47:03,466 strategy is a strategy of surveillance finding cases 900 00:47:03,466 --> 00:47:07,466 surveillance finding cases testing isolating using 901 00:47:07,466 --> 00:47:09,299 testing isolating using quarantine caring for cases 902 00:47:09,299 --> 00:47:11,500 quarantine caring for cases educating communities providing 903 00:47:11,500 --> 00:47:13,500 educating communities providing access to personal hygiene 904 00:47:13,500 --> 00:47:15,666 access to personal hygiene practicing physical and social 905 00:47:15,666 --> 00:47:16,267 practicing physical and social distancing where that can be 906 00:47:16,267 --> 00:47:17,200 distancing where that can be done and the use of other 907 00:47:17,200 --> 00:47:19,833 done and the use of other measures. To reduce 908 00:47:19,833 --> 00:47:21,932 measures. To reduce transmission of infection, it 909 00:47:21,932 --> 00:47:24,433 transmission of infection, it doesn’t necessarily mean a 910 00:47:24,433 --> 00:47:25,466 doesn’t necessarily mean a high-impact lockdowns that shut 911 00:47:25,466 --> 00:47:29,300 high-impact lockdowns that shut down entirely and I think all 912 00:47:29,300 --> 00:47:29,967 down entirely and I think all many countries around the 913 00:47:29,967 --> 00:47:31,000 many countries around the world, but in particular 914 00:47:31,000 --> 00:47:32,633 world, but in particular African countries are grappling 915 00:47:32,633 --> 00:47:35,066 African countries are grappling with with this dilemma How to 916 00:47:35,066 --> 00:47:37,532 with with this dilemma How to control Cot 19 while 917 00:47:37,532 --> 00:47:38,400 control Cot 19 while maintaining other essential 918 00:47:38,400 --> 00:47:39,767 maintaining other essential health services. Unicef has 919 00:47:39,767 --> 00:47:41,633 health services. Unicef has spoken about this and the 920 00:47:41,633 --> 00:47:42,867 spoken about this and the likely excess mortality in 921 00:47:42,867 --> 00:47:44,400 likely excess mortality in children that may occur unless 922 00:47:44,400 --> 00:47:45,966 children that may occur unless we’re delivering immunization 923 00:47:45,966 --> 00:47:47,767 we’re delivering immunization unless we continue to the food 924 00:47:47,767 --> 00:47:48,466 unless we continue to the food and we have a Forman very clear 925 00:47:48,466 --> 00:47:51,967 and we have a Forman very clear on that. From the WFP has 926 00:47:51,967 --> 00:47:53,533 on that. From the WFP has spoken about the potential 927 00:47:53,533 --> 00:47:54,833 spoken about the potential issues related to food and 928 00:47:54,833 --> 00:47:59,033 issues related to food and hunger as a as a as a as a as a 929 00:47:59,033 --> 00:48:00,500 hunger as a as a as a as a as a result of the shutting down of 930 00:48:00,500 --> 00:48:01,767 result of the shutting down of food chains of the loss of food 931 00:48:01,767 --> 00:48:06,366 food chains of the loss of food production. So I think in terms 932 00:48:06,366 --> 00:48:08,000 production. So I think in terms of how Africa and African 933 00:48:08,000 --> 00:48:09,600 of how Africa and African countries deal with this and 934 00:48:09,600 --> 00:48:10,666 countries deal with this and again, the director general may 935 00:48:10,666 --> 00:48:12,067 again, the director general may wish to speak the African Union 936 00:48:12,067 --> 00:48:13,633 wish to speak the African Union are very much come together 937 00:48:13,633 --> 00:48:14,799 are very much come together with a comprehensive response 938 00:48:14,799 --> 00:48:16,199 with a comprehensive response plan at the political level. 939 00:48:16,199 --> 00:48:17,066 plan at the political level. It’s great to see that 940 00:48:17,066 --> 00:48:17,633 It’s great to see that political leadership. I think 941 00:48:17,633 --> 00:48:20,432 political leadership. I think we’re seeing a lot of African. 942 00:48:20,432 --> 00:48:22,700 we’re seeing a lot of African. Step forward and working very 943 00:48:22,700 --> 00:48:23,233 Step forward and working very closely with our regional 944 00:48:23,233 --> 00:48:26,367 closely with our regional director and I’m trying to come 945 00:48:26,367 --> 00:48:28,000 director and I’m trying to come up with strategies that are 946 00:48:28,000 --> 00:48:31,133 up with strategies that are adapted to the social and 947 00:48:31,133 --> 00:48:31,933 adapted to the social and economic circumstances of 948 00:48:31,933 --> 00:48:33,466 economic circumstances of countries.

I’m like just add the things like Kawasaki Syndrome 1068 00:55:33,933 --> 00:55:35,967 things like Kawasaki Syndrome and the toxic shock of the 1069 00:55:35,967 --> 00:55:37,400 and the toxic shock of the cymbals very uncommon, but 1070 00:55:37,400 --> 00:55:38,932 cymbals very uncommon, but they’re there is a background 1071 00:55:38,932 --> 00:55:42,000 they’re there is a background in incidents that it happens in 1072 00:55:42,000 --> 00:55:43,833 in incidents that it happens in in all in all populations, but 1073 00:55:43,833 --> 00:55:46,800 in all in all populations, but in a very very low rate and 1074 00:55:46,800 --> 00:55:48,167 in a very very low rate and it’s a it’s a little like those 1075 00:55:48,167 --> 00:55:50,966 it’s a it’s a little like those of you who follow polio. We use 1076 00:55:50,966 --> 00:55:53,432 of you who follow polio. We use a syndrome called acute placid 1077 00:55:53,432 --> 00:55:54,933 a syndrome called acute placid paralysis to detect all 1078 00:55:54,933 --> 00:55:56,167 paralysis to detect all children who have unusual 1079 00:55:56,167 --> 00:55:57,299 children who have unusual paralytic illness, and then we 1080 00:55:57,299 --> 00:56:00,000 paralytic illness, and then we test all those children for of 1081 00:56:00,000 --> 00:56:01,832 test all those children for of virus and only in a very small 1082 00:56:01,832 --> 00:56:02,667 virus and only in a very small number of them. Do we find the 1083 00:56:02,667 --> 00:56:03,733 number of them. Do we find the polio virus, but that’s the way 1084 00:56:03,733 --> 00:56:06,066 polio virus, but that’s the way we find the polio virus. 1085 00:56:06,066 --> 00:56:08,166 we find the polio virus. Education is by looking for a 1086 00:56:08,166 --> 00:56:09,300 Education is by looking for a particular syndrome or a 1087 00:56:09,300 --> 00:56:11,000 particular syndrome or a collection of symptoms, and in 1088 00:56:11,000 --> 00:56:12,200 collection of symptoms, and in this case we need to look at 1089 00:56:12,200 --> 00:56:13,733 this case we need to look at this collection of symptoms and 1090 00:56:13,733 --> 00:56:16,000 this collection of symptoms and then look at what’s causing it 1091 00:56:16,000 --> 00:56:20,000 then look at what’s causing it will not all caused by 19 1092 00:56:20,000 --> 00:56:21,567 will not all caused by 19 another I think important point 1093 00:56:21,567 --> 00:56:23,766 another I think important point is as the number of cases of 1094 00:56:23,766 --> 00:56:25,834 is as the number of cases of any particular disease. Eng 1095 00:56:25,834 --> 00:56:27,800 any particular disease. Eng grows to a very large number 1096 00:56:27,800 --> 00:56:29,433 grows to a very large number you start to potentially not 1097 00:56:29,433 --> 00:56:32,000 you start to potentially not much rare syndrome so you may 1098 00:56:32,000 --> 00:56:34,799 much rare syndrome so you may not notice the disease emerge 1099 00:56:34,799 --> 00:56:36,733 not notice the disease emerge in a small group of 10 or 20000 1100 00:56:36,733 --> 00:56:39,834 in a small group of 10 or 20000 cases, but if you get to 90. 1101 00:56:39,834 --> 00:56:41,200 cases, but if you get to 90. Hundred or a million cases, 1102 00:56:41,200 --> 00:56:43,900 Hundred or a million cases, then what is a very rare 1103 00:56:43,900 --> 00:56:46,534 then what is a very rare potential side effect or or or 1104 00:56:46,534 --> 00:56:48,000 potential side effect or or or consequence of the infection 1105 00:56:48,000 --> 00:56:50,566 consequence of the infection can become apparent. it doesn’t 1106 00:56:50,566 --> 00:56:51,900 can become apparent. it doesn’t mean that the disease is 1107 00:56:51,900 --> 00:56:52,967 mean that the disease is changing. It doesn’t mean that 1108 00:56:52,967 --> 00:56:54,366 changing. It doesn’t mean that the disease is changing in 1109 00:56:54,366 --> 00:56:56,066 the disease is changing in kids. what it means is when you 1110 00:56:56,066 --> 00:56:58,167 kids. what it means is when you get a very large number of 1111 00:56:58,167 --> 00:56:59,000 get a very large number of children with the disease. you 1112 00:56:59,000 --> 00:57:01,933 children with the disease. you will see a very rare occurrence 1113 00:57:01,933 --> 00:57:02,600 will see a very rare occurrence happen and in the small number 1114 00:57:02,600 --> 00:57:03,833 happen and in the small number of children you don’t get a 1115 00:57:03,833 --> 00:57:05,066 of children you don’t get a chance to see that. so it’s 1116 00:57:05,066 --> 00:57:06,667 chance to see that. so it’s very important to reassure 1117 00:57:06,667 --> 00:57:08,199 very important to reassure parents out there that this is 1118 00:57:08,199 --> 00:57:09,266 parents out there that this is not this does not represent a 1119 00:57:09,266 --> 00:57:12,900 not this does not represent a difference in the way. 1120 00:57:46,233 --> 00:57:48,000 This is a new disease when new 1121 00:57:48,000 --> 00:57:49,334 This is a new disease when new diseases crossed the species 1122 00:57:49,334 --> 00:57:51,400 diseases crossed the species barrier. They’re very often 1123 00:57:51,400 --> 00:57:53,333 barrier. They’re very often don’t have what we would call a 1124 00:57:53,333 --> 00:57:54,799 don’t have what we would call a primary target organ. They’re 1125 00:57:54,799 --> 00:57:56,466 primary target organ. They’re very often can infect and we 1126 00:57:56,466 --> 00:57:57,700 very often can infect and we see this conspiracy syndrome, 1127 00:57:57,700 --> 00:57:59,633 see this conspiracy syndrome, which we can recognize people’s 1128 00:57:59,633 --> 00:58:01,533 which we can recognize people’s short of breath with pneumonia. 1129 00:58:01,533 --> 00:58:03,466 short of breath with pneumonia. We’ve also observed 1130 00:58:03,466 --> 00:58:04,899 We’ve also observed cardiovascular type syndromes 1131 00:58:04,899 --> 00:58:06,600 cardiovascular type syndromes and in other words effects on 1132 00:58:06,600 --> 00:58:09,100 and in other words effects on the heart effects on the on the 1133 00:58:09,100 --> 00:58:11,633 the heart effects on the on the on the blood system we’ve seen 1134 00:58:11,633 --> 00:58:12,433 on the blood system we’ve seen effects on on the brain and and 1135 00:58:12,433 --> 00:58:15,399 effects on on the brain and and and the neurological system. 1136 00:58:15,399 --> 00:58:17,600 and the neurological system. And and reports of those 1137 00:58:17,600 --> 00:58:19,466 And and reports of those diseases and older people as 1138 00:58:19,466 --> 00:58:23,400 diseases and older people as well so and what we don’t know 1139 00:58:23,400 --> 00:58:25,699 well so and what we don’t know is whether those rare things 1140 00:58:25,699 --> 00:58:27,533 is whether those rare things that happen are Associated 1141 00:58:27,533 --> 00:58:29,833 that happen are Associated directly with the virus and the 1142 00:58:29,833 --> 00:58:32,300 directly with the virus and the virus directly attacking the 1143 00:58:32,300 --> 00:58:35,032 virus directly attacking the cells and those organs are we 1144 00:58:35,032 --> 00:58:37,466 cells and those organs are we seeing also the result of the 1145 00:58:37,466 --> 00:58:38,167 seeing also the result of the immune response to the virus 1146 00:58:38,167 --> 00:58:40,500 immune response to the virus and in many emerging diseases 1147 00:58:40,500 --> 00:58:41,167 and in many emerging diseases we see both happen. The virus 1148 00:58:41,167 --> 00:58:42,100 we see both happen. The virus itself can cause damage and 1149 00:58:42,100 --> 00:58:45,033 itself can cause damage and sometimes the immune. To the 1150 00:58:45,033 --> 00:58:48,333 sometimes the immune. To the virus itself can cause damage. 1151 00:58:48,333 --> 00:58:49,033 virus itself can cause damage. That’s very much what happens 1152 00:58:49,033 --> 00:58:52,367 That’s very much what happens in evals many people, for 1153 00:58:52,367 --> 00:58:54,000 in evals many people, for example, the bleeding so that 1154 00:58:54,000 --> 00:58:56,434 example, the bleeding so that people’s see or have seen on 1155 00:58:56,434 --> 00:58:58,266 people’s see or have seen on the TV Associated with the 1156 00:58:58,266 --> 00:59:00,300 the TV Associated with the Ebola infection. It’s not the 1157 00:59:00,300 --> 00:59:01,966 Ebola infection. It’s not the virus that causes the bleeding. 1158 00:59:01,966 --> 00:59:03,733 virus that causes the bleeding. It’s very often the immune 1159 00:59:03,733 --> 00:59:04,866 It’s very often the immune response to the presence of the 1160 00:59:04,866 --> 00:59:06,966 response to the presence of the virus that depletes the 1161 00:59:06,966 --> 00:59:08,466 virus that depletes the capacity of the blood to cloth. 1162 00:59:08,466 --> 00:59:10,932 capacity of the blood to cloth. So when a person pleads, then 1163 00:59:10,932 --> 00:59:11,933 So when a person pleads, then the bleeding continues so again 1164 00:59:11,933 --> 00:59:13,133 the bleeding continues so again we need to start out number one 1165 00:59:13,133 --> 00:59:18,066 we need to start out number one is. To what extent the 19 1166 00:59:18,066 --> 00:59:19,032 is. To what extent the 19 Associated with this rare 1167 00:59:19,032 --> 00:59:20,900 Associated with this rare syndrome to what extent is this 1168 00:59:20,900 --> 00:59:21,933 syndrome to what extent is this a direct effect of the virus to 1169 00:59:21,933 --> 00:59:23,466 a direct effect of the virus to what extent this may be related 1170 00:59:23,466 --> 00:59:25,966 what extent this may be related to the immune response to the 1171 00:59:25,966 --> 00:59:27,367 to the immune response to the virus and what’s causing what 1172 00:59:27,367 --> 00:59:29,766 virus and what’s causing what and it’s really important that 1173 00:59:29,766 --> 00:59:30,700 and it’s really important that we understand that because 1174 00:59:30,700 --> 00:59:31,500 we understand that because that’s the way we can develop 1175 00:59:31,500 --> 00:59:33,500 that’s the way we can develop counter measures and therapies 1176 00:59:33,500 --> 00:59:35,433 counter measures and therapies to reduce the impact of this 1177 00:59:35,433 --> 00:59:38,832 to reduce the impact of this disease, especially in kids. 1178 00:59:38,832 --> 00:59:42,367 disease, especially in kids. And they look to around one, 1179 00:59:42,367 --> 00:59:44,033 And they look to around one, maybe maximum two questions We 1180 00:59:44,033 --> 00:59:46,534 maybe maximum two questions We go to Dominican Republic to the 1181 00:59:46,534 --> 00:59:49,433 go to Dominican Republic to the Dario Libra and with us is Umar 1182 00:59:49,433 --> 00:59:52,967 Dario Libra and with us is Umar Castillo, Hola Hola Well, 1183 00:59:52,967 --> 00:59:56,667 Castillo, Hola Hola Well, Gracias. Thank you. 1184 00:59:57,100 --> 00:59:58,999 Some doctors and in some 1185 00:59:58,999 --> 01:00:00,400 Some doctors and in some countries such as Brazil and 1186 01:00:00,400 --> 01:00:01,866 countries such as Brazil and Bolivia, they’ve approved the 1187 01:00:01,866 --> 01:00:04,966 Bolivia, they’ve approved the use of even meine to treat 1188 01:00:04,966 --> 01:00:09,100 use of even meine to treat covid- 19 even though the 1189 01:00:09,100 --> 01:00:10,733 covid- 19 even though the United States, FDA hasn’t 1190 01:00:10,733 --> 01:00:12,433 United States, FDA hasn’t approved that there aren’t 1191 01:00:12,433 --> 01:00:13,732 approved that there aren’t concluded conclusive studies of 1192 01:00:13,732 --> 01:00:16,400 concluded conclusive studies of the effects of this mitsu on 1193 01:00:16,400 --> 01:00:18,033 the effects of this mitsu on humans. I’d like to know what 1194 01:00:18,033 --> 01:00:21,766 humans. I’d like to know what the W H O ’s view is on this 1195 01:00:21,766 --> 01:00:24,200 the W H O ’s view is on this and what are currently the Mids 1196 01:00:24,200 --> 01:00:27,899 and what are currently the Mids that are recommended. WHO for 1197 01:00:27,899 --> 01:00:28,667 that are recommended. WHO for the treatment of Covid- 19 1198 01:00:28,667 --> 01:00:31,833 the treatment of Covid- 19 Thank you? 1199 01:01:06,832 --> 01:01:09,066 Safe they are do they have any 1200 01:01:09,066 --> 01:01:11,100 Safe they are do they have any side effects and the clinical 1201 01:01:11,100 --> 01:01:13,067 side effects and the clinical trials that are underway need 1202 01:01:13,067 --> 01:01:15,200 trials that are underway need to have enough people in them 1203 01:01:15,200 --> 01:01:16,467 to have enough people in them to be able to determine whether 1204 01:01:16,467 --> 01:01:18,333 to be able to determine whether or not they are safe and 1205 01:01:18,333 --> 01:01:21,066 or not they are safe and effective and right now WHO has 1206 01:01:21,066 --> 01:01:22,967 effective and right now WHO has launched the solidarity trial 1207 01:01:22,967 --> 01:01:25,366 launched the solidarity trial which is a clinical trial 1208 01:01:25,366 --> 01:01:28,933 which is a clinical trial focusing on some drugs some 1209 01:01:28,933 --> 01:01:29,900 focusing on some drugs some therapeutics to look at whether 1210 01:01:29,900 --> 01:01:31,100 therapeutics to look at whether or not these are safe and 1211 01:01:31,100 --> 01:01:34,633 or not these are safe and effective for covid- 19. there 1212 01:01:34,633 --> 01:01:35,266 effective for covid- 19. there are more than 2500 patients 1213 01:01:35,266 --> 01:01:36,667 are more than 2500 patients enrolled in this multi 1214 01:01:36,667 --> 01:01:39,967 enrolled in this multi site clinical. And the value of 1215 01:01:39,967 --> 01:01:41,666 site clinical. And the value of something like this at the 1216 01:01:41,666 --> 01:01:42,967 something like this at the global level is that you could 1217 01:01:42,967 --> 01:01:45,467 global level is that you could bring together patients from 1218 01:01:45,467 --> 01:01:47,066 bring together patients from different hospitals across the 1219 01:01:47,066 --> 01:01:49,100 different hospitals across the world and you can have enough 1220 01:01:49,100 --> 01:01:50,400 world and you can have enough patience to be able to get to 1221 01:01:50,400 --> 01:01:53,100 patience to be able to get to that answer faster and it will 1222 01:01:53,100 --> 01:01:55,000 that answer faster and it will take some time before we have a 1223 01:01:55,000 --> 01:01:56,866 take some time before we have a full answers to which 1224 01:01:56,866 --> 01:01:57,700 full answers to which treatments work, but right now 1225 01:01:57,700 --> 01:01:59,866 treatments work, but right now we don’t have any approved 1226 01:01:59,866 --> 01:02:01,633 we don’t have any approved treatments for Covid- 19 the 1227 01:02:01,633 --> 01:02:04,100 treatments for Covid- 19 the treatments that are being used 1228 01:02:04,100 --> 01:02:06,900 treatments that are being used are for for symptoms and some 1229 01:02:06,900 --> 01:02:08,566 are for for symptoms and some countries are evaluating 1230 01:02:08,566 --> 01:02:11,333 countries are evaluating different Under these clinical 1231 01:02:11,333 --> 01:02:14,433 different Under these clinical trials, 1232 01:02:15,033 --> 01:02:18,866 Yup and just add there, I think 1233 01:02:18,866 --> 01:02:22,067 Yup and just add there, I think what’s what’s I said, I think 1234 01:02:22,067 --> 01:02:23,433 what’s what’s I said, I think that the trial designs we have 1235 01:02:23,433 --> 01:02:24,467 that the trial designs we have in place are very nimble and 1236 01:02:24,467 --> 01:02:26,000 in place are very nimble and they allow other drugs to be 1237 01:02:26,000 --> 01:02:28,367 they allow other drugs to be added in as needed and that 1238 01:02:28,367 --> 01:02:29,933 added in as needed and that means we can move forward 1239 01:02:29,933 --> 01:02:30,800 means we can move forward faster and again we thank the 1240 01:02:30,800 --> 01:02:32,000 faster and again we thank the countries who’ve committed to 1241 01:02:32,000 --> 01:02:33,633 countries who’ve committed to the solidarity trials in 1242 01:02:33,633 --> 01:02:34,000 the solidarity trials in particular, but there are other 1243 01:02:34,000 --> 01:02:36,466 particular, but there are other trials out there which also 1244 01:02:36,466 --> 01:02:39,733 trials out there which also need to be and need to need to 1245 01:02:39,733 --> 01:02:41,067 need to be and need to need to be supported. I think it’s 1246 01:02:41,067 --> 01:02:44,966 be supported. I think it’s important to understand that. 1247 01:02:44,966 --> 01:02:47,466 important to understand that. There are many potential drugs 1248 01:02:47,466 --> 01:02:49,400 There are many potential drugs that can kill a virus in a test 1249 01:02:49,400 --> 01:02:51,633 that can kill a virus in a test tube, and that’s what we call 1250 01:02:51,633 --> 01:02:53,100 tube, and that’s what we call in vitro. It means that you can 1251 01:02:53,100 --> 01:02:55,333 in vitro. It means that you can actually kill a virus by 1252 01:02:55,333 --> 01:02:56,667 actually kill a virus by directly applying the drug to 1253 01:02:56,667 --> 01:02:58,966 directly applying the drug to the right. you can observe how 1254 01:02:58,966 --> 01:03:00,500 the right. you can observe how it interferes with the virus 1255 01:03:00,500 --> 01:03:01,799 it interferes with the virus function. It’s a very different 1256 01:03:01,799 --> 01:03:03,300 function. It’s a very different thing to take that drug and 1257 01:03:03,300 --> 01:03:06,999 thing to take that drug and then put it into a human and 1258 01:03:06,999 --> 01:03:08,700 then put it into a human and therefore the difference 1259 01:03:08,700 --> 01:03:10,667 therefore the difference between a drugs effect on a 1260 01:03:10,667 --> 01:03:11,833 between a drugs effect on a virus out of the body and then 1261 01:03:11,833 --> 01:03:15,433 virus out of the body and then that drugs. 1262 01:03:15,499 --> 01:03:16,967 To affect the progress of the 1263 01:03:16,967 --> 01:03:18,433 To affect the progress of the virus in the body, it’s very 1264 01:03:18,433 --> 01:03:19,666 virus in the body, it’s very different and that’s why trials 1265 01:03:19,666 --> 01:03:21,033 different and that’s why trials are very important and it’s 1266 01:03:21,033 --> 01:03:22,599 are very important and it’s really important and this is 1267 01:03:22,599 --> 01:03:23,500 really important and this is what’s happening more and more 1268 01:03:23,500 --> 01:03:24,866 what’s happening more and more around the world. People are 1269 01:03:24,866 --> 01:03:26,334 around the world. People are trying older drugs against the 1270 01:03:26,334 --> 01:03:27,466 trying older drugs against the virus and seeing what might 1271 01:03:27,466 --> 01:03:29,233 virus and seeing what might work. They’re also trying new 1272 01:03:29,233 --> 01:03:30,367 work. They’re also trying new molecules and seeing what might 1273 01:03:30,367 --> 01:03:32,466 molecules and seeing what might work when they find drugs that 1274 01:03:32,466 --> 01:03:35,433 work when they find drugs that might work in. then they look 1275 01:03:35,433 --> 01:03:37,867 might work in. then they look for any evidence observational 1276 01:03:37,867 --> 01:03:38,800 for any evidence observational evidence out there that might 1277 01:03:38,800 --> 01:03:40,966 evidence out there that might suggest that the drug has an 1278 01:03:40,966 --> 01:03:42,467 suggest that the drug has an impact and then you design the 1279 01:03:42,467 --> 01:03:43,666 impact and then you design the trials in which you introduced 1280 01:03:43,666 --> 01:03:44,833 trials in which you introduced the drug safely and in a way 1281 01:03:44,833 --> 01:03:47,899 the drug safely and in a way that you can ensure that if the 1282 01:03:47,899 --> 01:03:49,600 that you can ensure that if the Safe and efficacious you can 1283 01:03:49,600 --> 01:03:51,066 Safe and efficacious you can begin to use it, but also, if 1284 01:03:51,066 --> 01:03:52,533 begin to use it, but also, if there’s a signal that the drug 1285 01:03:52,533 --> 01:03:54,600 there’s a signal that the drug is not safe or not effective, 1286 01:03:54,600 --> 01:03:56,000 is not safe or not effective, you can avoid using it. That’s 1287 01:03:56,000 --> 01:03:56,933 you can avoid using it. That’s the principle of randomized 1288 01:03:56,933 --> 01:03:59,032 the principle of randomized control trials and there’s a 1289 01:03:59,032 --> 01:04:00,332 control trials and there’s a very well tested process of 1290 01:04:00,332 --> 01:04:01,833 very well tested process of doing that. So it’s really 1291 01:04:01,833 --> 01:04:03,867 doing that. So it’s really important that we encourage 1292 01:04:03,867 --> 01:04:05,367 important that we encourage innovation. We encourage people 1293 01:04:05,367 --> 01:04:06,633 innovation. We encourage people to be looking for solutions, 1294 01:04:06,633 --> 01:04:09,433 to be looking for solutions, but then as those solutions 1295 01:04:09,433 --> 01:04:11,032 but then as those solutions potentially become available, 1296 01:04:11,032 --> 01:04:12,100 potentially become available, we need to put them through the 1297 01:04:12,100 --> 01:04:13,966 we need to put them through the proper process in the interest 1298 01:04:13,966 --> 01:04:15,000 proper process in the interest of safety and the interest of 1299 01:04:15,000 --> 01:04:15,933 of safety and the interest of efficacy and in order to make 1300 01:04:15,933 --> 01:04:17,700 efficacy and in order to make sure that we first. Do you know 1301 01:04:17,700 --> 01:04:20,767 sure that we first. Do you know how? 1302 01:04:20,999 --> 01:04:23,499 You very much we will conclude 1303 01:04:23,499 --> 01:04:25,467 You very much we will conclude the press conference with this 1304 01:04:25,467 --> 01:04:27,467 the press conference with this last question and we will have 1305 01:04:27,467 --> 01:04:30,600 last question and we will have audio file available shortly 1306 01:04:30,600 --> 01:04:33,567 audio file available shortly and the transcript posted 1307 01:04:33,567 --> 01:04:35,632 and the transcript posted tomorrow we will continue to 1308 01:04:35,632 --> 01:04:37,067 tomorrow we will continue to provide you with the latest 1309 01:04:37,067 --> 01:04:38,866 provide you with the latest from our regional offices in 1310 01:04:38,866 --> 01:04:40,000 from our regional offices in our country offices on the work 1311 01:04:40,000 --> 01:04:42,700 our country offices on the work that is doing on Cavett 19. I 1312 01:04:42,700 --> 01:04:44,132 that is doing on Cavett 19. I would like to thank 1313 01:04:44,132 --> 01:04:45,067 would like to thank interpreters who are with us 1314 01:04:45,067 --> 01:04:46,000 interpreters who are with us today and to wish everyone a 1315 01:04:46,000 --> 01:04:49,733 today and to wish everyone a very nice weekend. 1316 01:04:50,866 --> 01:04:56,066 And I hope we’re still online 1317 01:04:56,066 --> 01:04:58,567 And I hope we’re still online on Saturday and Sunday we will 1318 01:04:58,567 --> 01:05:02,399 on Saturday and Sunday we will have the third edition walk the 1319 01:05:02,399 --> 01:05:05,266 have the third edition walk the talk as you remember we started 1320 01:05:05,266 --> 01:05:08,133 talk as you remember we started at three years ago, so we were 1321 01:05:08,133 --> 01:05:10,432 at three years ago, so we were supposed to do the work that 1322 01:05:10,432 --> 01:05:13,100 supposed to do the work that talk run or exercising in 1323 01:05:13,100 --> 01:05:15,533 talk run or exercising in Geneva a day before the 1324 01:05:15,533 --> 01:05:17,133 Geneva a day before the Assembly That’s next Sunday. so 1325 01:05:17,133 --> 01:05:20,466 Assembly That’s next Sunday. so we’re keeping.
