The effort to contain this outbreak starts with four strikes against it:

Momentum

Location

(Lack of) Medical Countermeasures

Weakened Global Response Capacity

Let's look at each.

I joined NPR Morning Edition to talk about the Ebola outbreak in the DR Congo

We learned too much, too quickly, for this outbreak to be anything but a big problem

We talked about the challenges of the response and where this likely headed

Very sad to hear about the passing of Bernard Roizman. A real powerhouse in virology whose trainees are numerous and many have also had a profound impact on virology: https://t.co/f5GO1B5hCd

As a world-renowned ethologist and conservationist who spent more than 65 years studying wild chimpanzees, Dr. Jane Goodall fundamentally changed the way we understand the world—and our place in it. She was also an extraordinarily powerful advocate, inspiring young people all over the world to stay curious, compassionate, and committed to building a brighter future for people, animals, and the environment. What a force she was.

@andrewpekosz Impressive career

Ann Palmenberg was a giant in some many ways, as a friend, as an advocate of women, and as a scientist. We all stood on her shoulders. She will be missed.

[Craig Cameron Lab @CameronLabUNC]

Virology lost a giant last week. I and so many others have lost an advocate, mentor and friend. RIP, Ann. 💔 https://t.co/eDv257dolC

Feeling the loss of Diane E. Griffin - brilliant physician-scientist who changed our thinking about host responses to viruses. Her calm leadership moved mountains seemingly effortlessly at home and around the world, all with poise, civility, humility and much joy.
