  • let's take a closer look at the corona virus outbreak and the issue of global

  • pandemics from someone who knows this issue inside out Sheri Fink is a

  • Pulitzer prize-winning journalist who works as a correspondent for the New

  • York Times and is one of the executive producers of the documentary series

  • pandemic how to prevent an outbreak and I'm glad to say she joins us live on

  • skype this morning from New York so Sheri your documentary debuted toward

  • the end of January just as the corona virus outbreak was making headlines

  • around the world the comments section in the trailer on

  • YouTube is a blaze of people raising suspicions about the timing of the

  • release well and I should say it's released on Netflix for anybody who

  • wants to see it and of course it took us a long time to make the documentary so

  • it was just a pure coincidence but it serves to highlight the fact that

  • pandemics can there the risk is always with us yes they pop up all the time

  • it's fair to say now we've put that issue to one side in your series you

  • bring up the Spanish flu that swept the world in the late 1910s killing tens of

  • millions of people that was a century ago but viruses don't much care for

  • humankind scientific and medical advancements over the past century do

  • they well viruses are wily and yeah they're always changing not just the way

  • that they infect humans but the way they can cause disease and all sorts of

  • animals and so that's why there's a lot of attention needed cooperation between

  • countries and all of us have a role in trying to just stop and an outbreak and

  • do the things that can help prevent us from from spreading a new virus and your

  • documentary is titled pandemic how to prevent an outbreak how do you rate the

  • response to the corona virus outbreak do you think the powers that be are

  • gradually getting better at containing such outbreaks mmm well I'd say it's a

  • mixed picture right I mean there's no such thing as perfect preparedness and

  • we all know there are real gaps in terms of

  • you know everything from you know resources and different countries having

  • different abilities to address these types of outbreaks but there's also been

  • some real advances so we saw today or yesterday in your case the World Health

  • Organization convenient scientists from all over the world trying to rapidly

  • come up with things like vaccines and by rapid I mean it could still take a year

  • but there's a sense I think some development in the way that we approach

  • this also this is just the common knowledge that these are threats to

  • humanity and that there's importance the importance of investing in being able to

  • detect new viruses as they jump from animals typically to humans yeah and on

  • that point more often than not these pathogens leap from another animal

  • species to humans that's always going to be a threat of course but there are

  • people out there that suggests rightly or wrongly

  • that the corona virus could have been cooked up in a lab somewhere are you

  • equally concerned about an artificially man-made pathogen potentially sweeping

  • the world well I mean I think that to take these as separate issues so the

  • corona virus as far as I've seen in the experts I've spoken with and you know

  • that the detailed work they're doing looking at the sequence of the virus and

  • how it relates to other known viruses and animals there is no evidence thus

  • far to suggest that some of these conspiracy theories are true in this

  • case that being said of course that's another scenario that that preparedness

  • officials people who devote their lives to this type of work and that's actually

  • what our docu-series did is it followed people all over the world who are trying

  • to stop outbreaks and protect all of us so there of course they look at the

  • possibility of you know biological weapons as being another thing to

  • prepare for but you're absolutely right the the bigger risk the risk that we all

  • know it has happened over and over again including 1918 that we just talked about

  • is this link between animals and and human animals now you won your Pulitzer

  • Prize for your covering the Ebola outbreak in West

  • Africa in terms of the coronavirus though few people are talking about how

  • it could affect North Korea now given how neglected and broken the public

  • health system is in North Korea in its proximity to China do you see any way

  • North Korea avoids a serious coronavirus epidemic I mean it all I think what's

  • what's really important is things like transparency so sharing information all

  • countries need to to do that to stop an outbreak because outbreaks don't respect

  • borders and of course it's very important that health systems have

  • resources to be able to fight this so those would certainly be risks on the

  • other hand you know as long as the virus is not circulating wife widely in an

  • area which fortunately right now there's still the chance that we will you know

  • that the world will stop this from becoming a pandemic so then hopefully

  • people there will not suffer more but certainly risks are lower resource

  • health systems and health systems where there's not a lot of transparency in

  • terms of sharing information okay sherry unfortunately we are out of time I know

  • you have to shoot off for a meeting now we appreciate your insights and best of

  • luck with your series we look forward to the next one please come back when that

  • comes out that will show you think New York Times correspondent and an

  • executive producer of the documentary series pandemic how to prevent an

  • outbreak available now on your favorite streaming service thank you thank you
