介绍： I think it's the amazing achievement in itself to bring so many scientists together from all over the world to fight one disease together,if it almost reminds me of the great fight against smallpox when the whole world during the Cold War decided to put our differences aside and fight one disease.Maybe today we see the begining of that.Do you think it also heralds a new era of greater openness,greater transparency between nations when something like this,which is a global crisis,faces this all?

Yeah, I think being in crisis can bring out the best in people.Sometimes it brings out the wrost.I hve to believe it brings out the best.And I think we're seeing part of that here today.I think we're seeing part of that here with the solidarity that people are showing towards China with the help and assistance that's going to other countries.So I think we all understand viruses know no borders,and we all have vulnerable communities that we need to help.And what wo learn in one place will help us in the next .So I think that realization is there now,we need to turn this into a reality.We need to make diagnostics, we need to make vaccines,we need to make treatments and we also need to communicate more effectively with our populations as to how they can protect themselves.And we've seen that in communities in China and Singapore we need to empower our communities.
