The President of Georgetown University, John DeGiola is on C-SPAN discussing the Ebola Response. He says, The first death, I believe it was a year ago tomorrow and as we were describing earlier, through the course of the spring and summer, the numbers really began to climb. What have we learned about our global governance, our capacities for global governance on issues like this, because it did take some time for us as a global community to respond. Dr. Anthony Fauci, Director of the National Institute of Allery and Infectious Diseases says what is needed is a functional global health security agenda. The Georgetown University President asks, What are the tools we have available to us for constructing a global public health security agenda? What kind of resources? What kind of institutional structures? Where do we go to put this in place? Ron Klain, White House Ebola Response Coordinator says we have to work with the WHO and other international organizations, but that America has to lead and it has led. He says its a geo-political and national security challenge for the United States to see this kind of devastation and loss in West Africa and its a humanitarian crisis. I am very curious and want to find out more about this functional global health security agenda. When they speak of global governance a light goes off in my brain, because the very definition of global governance is global government.
