The only way to confirm a Zika diagnosis is through a blood test?

Does it make any sense at any point in time, from a medical perspective, to add a test for Zika to the normal screening?

Do you have any doubt that we will see a mosquito transmission at the U.S.--in the mainland United States at some point?

The reality is that it is very much--it is quite possible, and perhaps, I would dare say, even probable, that there is already a mosquito infection that has occurred in the United States

Here is the last question, Dr. Frieden. If someone contracts Zika, in most of these cases they are not even symptomatic, in essence.

Well, I ask--from the case of Florida, obviously Central Florida--all of Florida, in general, but Central Florida, in particular, has a very strong link with Puerto Rico.

So, just to summarize, if this money does not happen tomorrow, then we are--we face a situation where all of the innovative work going into getting ahead of this will not be able to move forward.

I have supported the President's request at 1.9 billion. I thought we should err on the side of caution.

It is wrong--a country thinks they solved the problem, when they just tell the women in the country they should not become pregnant.

What direct support, if any, are you planning to provide these countries?

And again, just to be clear, just so anyone who might be watching this now or later would understand, the Guillain-Barre link is on everyone.

But let me ask you--I know that there is a study ongoing with the Colombian government to study the link between Zika and Guillain-Barre.

Dr. Frieden, what is a reasonable timetable to expect a vaccine for Zika?

Well, let me ask it another way. Should athletes or spectators traveling to Brazil at least think about it before they go, given what we have known about how rapidly it has spread there?

Well, Dr. Frieden, is the chance of contracting Zika in Brazil almost zero for athletes and spectators?

It is our duty to act now, while we can still get ahead of this disease and before it is simply too late.

I strongly believe that inaction on Zika is simply inexcusable.

However, I do not think it is fair to expect the American taxpayer is going to continue to help fund elections that are overthrown because the parties are dissatisfied with the outcome.

There are people in the Maduro regime who are spending their weekends in Miami spending the money they are stealing from the Venezuelan people.

They are money launderers. For example, Diosdado Cabello, one of the leaders in the majority party--I guess the minority party now, but Maduro's party--Tarek El Aissami.

For example, the Venezuela Defense of Human Rights and Civil Society Act that we are trying to get reauthorized gives the administration the power to punish human rights abusers and those involved in corruption.

We recognize we need an Arab force to move down on Raqqa not just the Kurds.

I share the objective of retaking Manbij.

The process we have in place now to achieve it through Geneva has been described to me now by people... as something that is circling the drain.

The removal of Assad is critical. It is a critical component.
