" Well malaria continues to be a problem but I guess that the message today is that we're on the verge of doing something pretty spectacular. I honestly think we're on the verge of securing a huge humanitarian victory which -- the end of malaria deaths so. Do I get so -- thing to do but tech trend is progress made. Why has -- taken so long this is unbelievable to me we're talking about does anyone who knows history knows -- building the Panama canal for crying out loud one of the major killers of the workers of the Panama canal was malaria over a hundred years ago why's it taken so long. Well -- the CDC was actually founded to fight malaria so we have a long history with a but in modern times Americans don't get malaria and so it's sort of been out of our field of vision. But the reality is that it's the number one killer of children that child dies every thirty seconds of malaria and yet. Malaria is entirely preventable entirely treatable. Where we stand right now we have the tools that she -- malaria deaths and we're just now beginning to get I I think the message out there. And so again I think we've got great great work to do with great progress behind us."
