Q: Can you bring us up to speed on what’s happening with the Ebola outbreak?

A: Sure. There’s been a massive outbreak of the Ebola virus in Africa, starting in West Africa and spreading to Guinea, Liberia, Nigeria, and Sierra Leona. The latest numbers have almost 2,000 people infected since the beginning of the year, with about half of those resulting in death.

问:你能否给我们做一下埃博拉病毒爆发的简单介绍?

答:当然可以。埃博拉病毒在非洲大规模爆发,最初在西非发现,蔓延到几内亚,利比里亚,尼日利亚和塞拉利昂。最新的数字已有近2000人自今年年初被感染,其中约一半死亡。

Q: Are authorities worried about the spread of Ebola outside of those countries?

A: Yes, there’s a great deal of concern from international health organizations about the spread of Ebola, particularly because it’s both highly contagious and deadly. Agencies from around the world, including the U.N. health agency, the World Health Organization (WHO), and the US Centers for Disease Control (CDC) are taking an active role in attempting to stop the spread of the virus.

问:政府是否担心埃博拉病毒向这些之外的国家传播?

答:是的,国际卫生组织非常担心埃博拉病毒的蔓延,特别是因为它具有高传染性和致命率。世界各地包括联合国卫生机构,世界卫生组织(WHO)和美国疾病控制中心(CDC)正在积极阻止病毒的传播。

Q: How is Thermo Fisher Scientific involved with efforts to contain the Ebola outbreak?

A: We have daily cross-functional calls with our product development and commercial teams in the Americas, EMEA, Japan and APAC and external calls and meetings to ensure we are supporting the CDC, WHO, NICD (Africa) and Public Health labs around the globe. These efforts are meant to strengthen our relationship with these organizations and ensure the public is safe from this devastating virus. We have gone through these fire drills before with other outbreaks, including the H1N1 2009 pandemic, MERS, SARS, and the H7N9 avian flu.

问:赛默飞如何参与努力控制埃博拉疫情?

答:我们在美洲,中东和非洲,日本和亚太地区每天进行产品开发和商业团队的跨部门电话、外线电话和会议,以确保我们支持全球各地的疾病预防控制中心,世界卫生组织,国立传染病研究所(非洲)和公共健康实验室。这些努力是为了加强与这些组织的关系,并确保公众对这种毁灭性病毒的安全。我们经历了之前暴发疫情的应急演习,包括2009年H1N1流感大流行,MERS中东呼吸道综合症,SARS非典和H7N9禽流感。

Q: How are our products helping our customers keep the public safe?

A: The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has given Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) for the US Department of Defense (DoD) to use our TaqMan assays and our 7500 Fast Dx instrumentation to test people for Ebola after they’ve come into contact with affected individuals, even before showing symptoms. With 50% mortality rates from this terrible virus, it should make us all proud to work for a company that has a direct impact in helping make the world healthier and safer.

问:我们的产品如何帮助我们的客户保护公众安全?

答:美国食品和药物管理局已经为美国国防部发出紧急使用授权:使用我们的TaqMan试剂和7500 Fast Dx仪器对接触患者的人甚至出现症状前检测是否感染埃博拉病毒。这种可怕的病毒有50%的死亡率,赛默飞对帮助使世界更健康,更安全产生了直接影响,我们所有工作人员都感到自豪。
