Joined now by

nbc news medical correspondent doctor john tours doctor john thanks much for coming...

00:00:05.840 --> 00:00:11.130
bit scales increasing the effort to contain it globally seems to be increasing

00:00:11.130 --> 00:00:15.980
is well how worried should we be at this point I think at this point you should listen definitely to the

00:00:15.980 --> 00:00:20.470
news listen to the health authorities what they're saying but don't be too terribly concerned about it because it

00:00:20.470 --> 00:00:24.740
...perspective there's one case we know about here united states a lot of suspected

00:00:24.740 --> 00:00:27.750
cases what you're seeing here you're seeing the war has got out to

00:00:27.750 --> 00:00:32.590
positions they're starting to look at everybody and anybody has any symptoms and they've been near

00:00:32.590 --> 00:00:37.620
this area they're going to start testing form so that's why you're seeing more and more these cases things that two months ago

00:00:37.620 --> 00:00:42.390
with a slip through and it was just a cold here now they're looking at maybe it could be grown...is going to look

00:00:42.390 --> 00:00:47.340
like going forward is just a matter of time before we start to see more cases pop up around the united states I think you

00:00:47.340 --> 00:00:51.360
probably see a few more cases pop up here only because that area's so heavily

00:00:51.360 --> 00:00:55.650
traveled but if it follows sars what happened was stars which is the epidemic

00:00:55.650 --> 00:00:59.260
in twenty two and three which is a corona virus it cropped up very quick

00:00:59.260 --> 00:01:02.770
and then it died off all the sudden so this hopefully falls the same type of

00:01:02.770 --> 00:01:06.510
situation china was criticized rally for how it

00:01:06.510 --> 00:01:11.230
...sars not doing enough fast enough what do you make of how they're handling

00:01:11.230 --> 00:01:16.120
it so for the summer and I think that's what you're seeing here yesterday world health organization had a press conference and they

00:01:16.120 --> 00:01:21.110
actually point that out this a china's doing a fantastic job of containing it testing for it and trying

00:01:21.110 --> 00:01:25.100
to get it under control and there's so many people there that it's going to be hard to get under

00:01:25.100 --> 00:01:29.560
control but hopefully they do very quickly what about the reports this morning that there's perhaps

00:01:29.560 --> 00:01:34.450
a vaccine that may be on the horizon some drug companies working on something if that if

00:01:34.450 --> 00:01:39.870
that does happen how likely how likely that we see quickly so the drug companies are working on there's a few that are

00:01:39.870 --> 00:01:44.220
actually actively involved in that right now and what they're saying what experts here saying is

00:01:44.220 --> 00:01:49.270
...take a few months to get a vaccine and a few more months to...so probably by the end, you know,

00:01:49.270 --> 00:01:54.310
another year so before we actually get a vaccine again with sars they came out the vaccine but by the time they got it

00:01:54.310 --> 00:01:57.940
...the epidemic...stopped so it might mimic the same thing here

00:01:57.940 --> 00:02:01.700
...john tours and she'll be talking to a lot of extra days thank you sir?
