Chris Brown Quotes

Ebola has arrived in New York City. And I say, 'if it can make it there...it can make it anywhere!'

I don't think we are comforted by the fact that we were told there would never be a case of Ebola in the United States and obviously that's not correct.

The Ebola epidemic was the most frightening outbreak I have witnessed in my lifetime, and I believe it was necessary to react globally as strongly as we did.

There is no firm dividing line between what is an epidemic and what is not an epidemic, but I think, when you look at a map that shows widespread influenza activity in 36 states, that we regard it -- from a common-sense perspective -- as an epidemic.

Sending us Ebola bombs in the form of sweaty Glaswegians just isn't cricket.

The Ebola epidemic is the worst health emergency there has been in modern times.

Covid-19 has altered world history.

Fear-bola attacks the part of the brain responsible for rational thinking. It starts with a low-grade concern about the two health care workers diagnosed with Ebola in Dallas and slowly builds into fear of a widespread epidemic in the United States.

The single biggest threat to man's continued dominance on the planet is the virus.

While we won't be able to help the 10,000 people who died in last year's [Ebola] outbreak, we can do something to save untold numbers of lives in the future if NIH is working at full strength.

When you say that after World War I there was a pandemic that killed more people than the war itself, most will say: "Wait, are you kidding? I know World War I, but there was no World War 1.5, was there?" But people were traveling around after the war, and that meant the force of infection was much higher. And the problem is that the rate of travel back then was dramatically less than what we have nowadays.

The AIDS epidemic, rather than being a scourge, is a welcome development in the inevitable reduction of human population... If it didn't exist, radical environmentalists would have to invent it.

This outbreak is moving ahead of efforts to control it.

The Ebola epidemic can serve as an early warning wake-up call to get ready. If we start now, we can be ready for the next epidemic.

Pandemic influenza is by nature an international issue; it requires an international solution.

This is a historic moment in global public health, demonstrating the international will to tackle a threat to health head on.

The reality is: By the time swine flu got on the radar screen of global public health, it had already spread. It was already in the States, it was in Mexico, it was in New Zealand. By the time it reaches that point, you've lost the ability to contain it.

Pandemics happen. When they do, they change the world.

Global pandemics---whether naturally occurring or intentionally spread---pose a greater threat than most man-made weapons of mass destruction.

The spread of international AIDS was an attempt by the U.S. government to decimate the population of central Africa.

AIDS didn’t announce itself when it arrived, and it was only after it started taking its toll that we realized our problem.

The spread of the disease is under control. What I worry about is the spread of fear of the disease is not under control.

The outbreak of COVID-19 has created an unprecedented situation around the world.

Coronavirus may well represent the biggest health crisis any of us experience in our lifetimes.

In the ongoing effort to combat Ebola, more needs to be done to rewrite the public-health narrative. It must move from one that has been infused with fear to one that recognizes the hope for survival that supportive care can offer infected people.
