YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Associate Director for Global Health and Public Health Policy at KFF Dr. Josh Michaud spoke to The Hill about the current Ebola and Hantavirus outbreaks, and whether they pose a risk to Americans.

Former Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Director Robert Redfield said Wednesday he suspects the spreading Ebola outbreak in Africa will spread across three new countries and become a “very significant pandemic.”

“I suspect this is going to become a very significant pandemic, probably going to leak into Tanzania, leak into southern Sudan, maybe leak into Rwanda,” Redfield said during an appearance on NewsNation’s “Elizabeth Vargas Reports.”
