Hey there, folks. It is Tuesday, May 19th, and there are a number of new, significant, and

concerning updates about the Ebola outbreak. There has been a significant uptick in the

number of deaths and cases. An American has now been confirmed to have the disease.

And meanwhile, the United States is taking steps to keep people who have been to that region

from coming to the country. And with that, welcome to this episode of Amy and T.J. Robs,

where you want to start? Because as we got, like you see a headline about numbers,

positive. And I really thought that was going to be this episode, just talking about who this

doctor is and who's been exposed. And then I just started reading and reading and reading all of these concerns that

World Health Organization leaders, CDC leaders are saying, and it is frankly frightening.

To hear their level of concern, that makes me concerned and you know

certainly haunted virus very recently they were went out of their way to say no risk here there

shouldn't be a risk to the international community and so on forward initially with Ebola

I think it kind of started with some of that language. But Robs, it became clear

pretty quickly that they were behind this disease by a week, two weeks. So it had gotten going.

And that is the problem now. And that is why, Robes, in recent days, we have seen death tolls now spike.

You could argue this is a spike now we're seeing in cases. Absolutely. And you know what? You make such a good point. I hadn't even realized that

that is probably the reason why today I felt deeply concerned because we heard the exact opposite

from health experts when it came to Hanta virus.
