This is The Guardian.

Today, how worried should the world be about the latest Ebola outbreak? Excellencies. Let's begin our work.

This week, thousands of the world's most distinguished public health experts have all

descended on a conference centre in Switzerland.

The World Health Assembly happens every year in Geneva.

All of the countries who are members of the World Health Organization

come together and talk about what it's been doing, what they want it to do for the next year.

They have committees to discuss things like anti-microbial resistance, neglected tropical diseases and mental health.

It's a big deal, basically like the Glastonbury of Public Health Summits.

Except, of course, it's a public health summit.

So it can be quite dry.

Let us now continue with adoption. It can be quite procedural.

To add this item to the agenda. But this year feels a little bit different.

Because everyone you go up to, everyone you talk to, at some point in every session, someone is going to say,

oh, this Ebola outbreak in the DRC looks a bit worrying, doesn't it?

I'm very worried about the DRC.

The cases are well over 300.

There's been a number of deaths.

It's a very poorest border.

And when they say worrying, you kind of, you sit up and listen because these are health professionals.

They're used to dealing with outbreaks.

They're not really given to hyperbole.
