With the Ebola situation with a patient here in Texas that just died, what do you think has been the public health response to that? Your reaction to that? Well, I know people are very concerned, and I'm very concerned that There's not been adequate screening of passengers traveling from West Africa to the United States. And so I've written to the Customs and Border Patrol commissioner and asking for an update on more aggressive measures to screen people infected with the virus. (00:13–00:25)
