## Transcript

There have been around 20 deaths but we can't at this stage confirm whether they are all probable or confirmed Ebola cases. We expect, however, that the overall case count will rise in coming days to weeks based on the trajectory of epidemics. At this stage in the development. It's good news, and it's very bad news. The bad news is that this strain of ebola carries with it the highest case fatality rate of any of the strains of ebola, anywhere about 50 % and higher, according to previous outbreaks. So it's the most deadly Variant of the Ebola virus strains that we have. That's the bad news. The good news is that we do have, although it's still an investigational product, a safe and effective vaccine that we're able to deploy last time around.

It's going to be a very, very complex operation. As I mentioned earlier, on a scale Of degree of difficulty. Trying to extinguish an outbreak of a deadly, high threat pathogen in a war zone reaches the top of any of our scales.
