Ko je marca 2014 izbruhnila Ebola, je Pardis Sabeti s svojo ekipo začela s sekvencioniranjem virusnega genoma, se učila kako mutira in kako se širi. Sabeti je takoj objavila svoje raziskave na internetu, da so se lahko vsi iskalci virusa in znanstveniki iz celega sveta pridružili temu nujnemu boju. V tem govoru, zakaj je odprto sodelovanje ključ do zaustavitve virusa in do napada naslednjega, ki pride za njim. "Morali smo delovati odprto, morali smo deliti znanje in delati skupaj" pravi Sabeti. "Naj ne bo naš svet zaznamovan z uničenjem, ki ga prinese en virus, ampak osvetljen z milijoni src in umov, ki delujejo skupaj kot eno."

Virus Lassa.
00:33
Lassa virus is a lot like Ebola.

Virus Lassa je podoben kot Ebola.
00:35
It can cause a severe fever
and can often be fatal.

Ampak ti posamezniki
vsak dan tvegajo svoja življenja,

and by doing so, protect us all.
11

2580
in s tem ščitijo vse nas.
00:49
But one of the most extraordinary things
I learned about them
I learned about them
12
37093
2908
Ena izmed najbolj izjemnih stvari,
ki sem se jih naučila
ki sem se jih naučila
00:52
on one of my first visits
out there many years ago
out there many years ago
13
40025
2567
na enem izmed mojih prvih obiskov
mnogo let nazaj
mnogo let nazaj
00:54
was that they start each morning --
14
42616
1709
je bilo to, da vsako jutro
00:56
these challenging, extraordinary days
on the front lines -- by singing.
on the front lines -- by singing.
15
44349
4943
v teh težavnih in izrednih dneh
v prvi bojni vrsti, začnejo s petjem.
v prvi bojni vrsti, začnejo s petjem.
01:01
They gather together,
and they show their joy.
and they show their joy.
16
49731
3339
Zberejo se skupaj
in pokažejo svojo radost.
in pokažejo svojo radost.
01:05
They show their spirit.
17
53094
1522
Pokažejo svojo voljo.
01:06
And over the years,
18
54640
1159
V vseh letih
01:07
from year after year as I've visited them
and they've visited me,
and they've visited me,
19
55823
3113
odkar sem jih obiskovala
in so oni obiskovali mene,
in so oni obiskovali mene,
01:10
I get to gather with them and I sing
20
58960
1993
sem lahko pela z njimi
01:12
and we write and we love it,
21
60977
2174
pisali smo in uživali,
01:15
because it reminds us that we're not
just there to pursue science together;
just there to pursue science together;
22
63175
3543
ker nas je to spomnilo, da nismo
tu samo, da skupaj izvajamo znanost;
tu samo, da skupaj izvajamo znanost;
01:18
we're bonded through a shared humanity.
23
66742
2317
povezani smo skupaj kot človeštvo.
01:21
And that of course, as you can imagine,
becomes extremely important,
becomes extremely important,
24
69586
4323
To seveda, kot si lahko predstavljate,
postane izjemno pomembno,
postane izjemno pomembno,
01:25
even essential, as things begin to change.
25
73933
2773
skorajda ključno,
ko se stvari začnejo spreminjati.
ko se stvari začnejo spreminjati.
01:28
And that changed a great deal
in March of 2014,
in March of 2014,
26
76730
4789
To se je zelo spremenilo marca 2014,
01:33
when the Ebola outbreak
was declared in Guinea.
was declared in Guinea.
27
81543
2346
ko je bil oznanjen
izbruh Ebole v Gvineji.
izbruh Ebole v Gvineji.
01:36
This is the first outbreak in West Africa,
28
84426
2132
To je bil prvi izbruh v zahodni Afriki
01:38
near the border
of Sierra Leone and Liberia.
of Sierra Leone and Liberia.
29
86582
2442
blizu meje s Sierro Leone in Liberijo,
01:42
And it was frightening,
frightening for us all.
frightening for us all.
30
90074
2522
Bilo je strašljivo,
strašljivo za vse nas.
strašljivo za vse nas.
01:44
We had actually suspected for some time
31
92620
1912
Nekaj časa smo sumili,
01:46
that Lassa and Ebola were more
widespread than thought,
widespread than thought,
32
94556
2642
da sta Lassa in Ebola bolj razširjeni,
kot smo mislili
kot smo mislili
01:49
and we thought it could
one day come to Kenema.
one day come to Kenema.
33
97222
2309
in da bosta nekega dne prišla do Keneme.
01:51
And so members of my team
immediately went out
immediately went out
34
99896
2410
Zato smo s člani moje ekipe
nemudoma šli ven,
nemudoma šli ven,
01:54
and joined Dr. Humarr Khan
and his team there,
and his team there,
35
102330
2397
se pridružili zdravniku
Humarr Khanu in ekipi,
Humarr Khanu in ekipi,
01:56
and we set up diagnostics to be able
to have sensitive molecular tests

36
104751
3677
tam smo postavili diagnostiko
za senzitivne molekularne teste

02:00
to pick up Ebola if it came
across the border

37
108452
2153
da bi našli Ebolo, če bi prišla čez mejo
02:02
and into Sierra Leone.
38
110629
1263
v Sierro Leone.
02:03
We'd already set up this kind
of capacity for Lassa virus,
of capacity for Lassa virus,
39
111916
2996
Že prej smo postavili takšno
podobno postajo za virus Lassa,
podobno postajo za virus Lassa,
02:06
we knew how to do it,
40
114936
1157
vedeli smo kako,
02:08
the team is outstanding.
41
116117
1430
ekipa je neverjetna.
02:09
We just had to give them
the tools and place to survey for Ebola.
the tools and place to survey for Ebola.
42
117571
3237
Morali smo jim samo predati
orodja in kraj za preverjanje Ebole.
orodja in kraj za preverjanje Ebole.
02:13
And unfortunately, that day came.
43
121340
1628
Na žalost je ta dan prišel.
02:14
On May 23, 2014, a woman checked
into the maternity ward at the hospital,
into the maternity ward at the hospital,
44
122992
4981
23. maja 2014 je ženska prišla
v porodnišnico,
v porodnišnico,
02:19
and the team ran
those important molecular tests

45
127997
3726
ekipa je naredila vse te
pomembne molekularne teste
pomembne molekularne teste
02:23
and they identified the first
confirmed case of Ebola in Sierra Leone.
confirmed case of Ebola in Sierra Leone.
46
131747
3835
in odkrila prvi potrjen
primer Ebole v Sierra Leone.
primer Ebole v Sierra Leone.
02:28
This was an exceptional
work that was done.
work that was done.
47
136107
2049
To je bilo izjemno delo.
02:30
They were able to diagnose
the case immediately,
the case immediately,
48
138180
2260
Tako so lahko nemudoma
diagnosticirali primer,
diagnosticirali primer,
02:32
to safely treat the patient
49
140464
2313
da so lahko varno zdravili pacientko
02:34
and to begin to do contact tracing
to follow what was going on.
to follow what was going on.
50
142801
3018
in začeli iskati njene kontakte,
da so ugotovili kaj se dogaja.
da so ugotovili kaj se dogaja.
02:37
It could've stopped something.
51
145843
1972
Lahko bi s tem nekaj ustavili.
02:39
But by the time that day came,
52
147839
2847
A do tega dne
02:42
the outbreak had already
been breeding for months.
been breeding for months.
53
150710
2358
je izbruh že nekaj mesecev tlel.
02:45
With hundreds of cases, it had already
eclipsed all previous outbreaks.
eclipsed all previous outbreaks.
54
153092
3640
S stotinami primerov, je takoj
zasenčil vse prejšnje izbruhe.
zasenčil vse prejšnje izbruhe.
02:48
And it came into Sierra Leone
not as that singular case,
not as that singular case,
55
156756
3644
V Sierro Leone ni prišel
kot osamljen primer,
kot osamljen primer,
02:52
but as a tidal wave.
56
160424
1292
ampak kot plimski val.
02:54
We had to work
with the international community,
with the international community,
57
162120
2275
Morali smo sodelovati z
mednarodno skupnostjo,
mednarodno skupnostjo,
02:56
with the Ministry of Health, with Kenema,
to begin to deal with the cases,
to begin to deal with the cases,
58
164419
3706
z Ministrstvom za zdravje,
s Kenemo, da smo lahko začeli delati,
s Kenemo, da smo lahko začeli delati,
03:00
as the next week brought 31,
59
168149
2071
naslednji teden je prinesel 31,
03:02
then 92, then 147 cases --
all coming to Kenema,
all coming to Kenema,
60
170244
3674
potem 92 in nato 147 primerov,
vsi v Kenemi,
vsi v Kenemi,
03:05
one of the only places in Sierra Leone
that could deal with this.
that could deal with this.
61
173942
3301
edini kraj v Sierri Leone,
ki se je s tem lahko spoprijel.
ki se je s tem lahko spoprijel.
03:09
And we worked around the clock
trying to do everything we could,
trying to do everything we could,
62
177610
3399
Delali smo dneve in noči,
storili smo vse kar smo lahko,
storili smo vse kar smo lahko,
03:13
trying to help the individuals,
trying to get attention,
trying to get attention,
63
181033
2961
pomagali smo posameznikom,
poskusili pridobiti pozornost,
poskusili pridobiti pozornost,
03:16
but we also did one other simple thing.
64
184018
1947
smo pa naredili še preprostejšo stvar.
03:18
From that specimen that we take
from a patient's blood to detect Ebola,
from a patient's blood to detect Ebola,
65
186544
3789
Vzorec, ki ga vzamemo iz pacientove krvi,
da odkrijemo Ebolo,
da odkrijemo Ebolo,
03:22
we can discard it, obviously.
66
190357
2055
lahko seveda zavržemo.
03:24
The other thing we can do is, actually,
put in a chemical and deactivate it,
put in a chemical and deactivate it,
67
192436
3616
Lahko pa ga damo v kemikalijo
in ga deaktiviramo,
in ga deaktiviramo,
03:28
so just place it into a box
and ship it across the ocean,
and ship it across the ocean,
68
196076
2730
torej ga damo v škatlo
in pošljemo čez ocean.
in pošljemo čez ocean.
03:30
and that's what we did.
69
198830
1151
In to smo storili.
03:32
We sent it to Boston, where my team works.
70
200005
2096
Poslali smo ga v Boston,
kjer je moja ekipa.
kjer je moja ekipa.
03:34
And we also worked around the clock
doing shift work, day after day,
doing shift work, day after day,
71
202724
3837
Tudi tam smo delali dneve in noči
v izmenah, dan za dnem.
v izmenah, dan za dnem.
03:38
and we quickly generated 99 genomes
of the Ebola virus.
of the Ebola virus.
72
206585
3869
Kmalu smo ustvarili 99 genomov
virusa Ebola.
virusa Ebola.
03:42
This is the blueprint -- the genome
of a virus is the blueprint.
of a virus is the blueprint.
73
210478
3057
To je načrt - genom virusa je načrt.
03:45
We all have one.
74
213559
1159
Vsak ima svojega.
03:46
It says everything that makes up us,
75
214742
1945
Pove vse, kar nas naredi nas
03:48
and it tells us so much information.
76
216711
1909
in nam pove ogromno informacij.
03:50
The results of this kind of work
are simple and they're powerful.
are simple and they're powerful.
77
218644
3177
Rezultati takšnega dela
so preprosti in mogočni.
so preprosti in mogočni.
03:54
We could actually take
these 99 different viruses,
these 99 different viruses,
78
222396
2470
Lahko bi pravzaprav vzeli
teh 99 različnih virusov,
teh 99 različnih virusov,
03:56
look at them and compare them,
79
224890
1447
jih pregledali in primerjali,
03:58
and we could see, actually,
compared to three genomes
compared to three genomes
80
226361
2846
lahko bi ugotovili,
da so v primerjavi s tremi genomi,
da so v primerjavi s tremi genomi,
04:01
that had been previously
published from Guinea,
published from Guinea,
81
229231
2836
ki so jih pred tem objavili v Gvineji,
04:04
we could show that the outbreak
emerged in Guinea months before,
emerged in Guinea months before,
82
232091
3711
lahko bi dokazali, da se je izbruh
v Gvineji začel že mesece prej,
v Gvineji začel že mesece prej,
04:07
once into the human population,
83
235826
1842
enkrat se je virus naselil v človeka
04:09
and from there had been transmitting
from human to human.
from human to human.
84
237692
2672
in se od takrat naprej širi
s človeka na človeka.
s človeka na človeka.
04:12
Now, that's incredibly important
85
240388
1544
To je zelo pomembno
04:13
when you're trying to figure out
how to intervene,
how to intervene,
86
241956
2368
ko poskušaš ugotoviti, kako posredovati,
04:16
but the important thing
is contact tracing.
is contact tracing.
87
244348
2066
ampak pomembna stvar je iskanje kontaktov.
04:18
We also could see that as the virus
was moving between humans,
was moving between humans,
88
246438
3402
Lahko smo tudi videli, da je virus
s tem, ko se je premikal med ljudmi
s tem, ko se je premikal med ljudmi
04:21
it was mutating.
89
249864
1257
tudi mutiral.
04:23
And each of those mutations
are so important,
are so important,
90
251145
2151
Vsaka od teh mutacij je pomembna,
04:25
because the diagnostics, the vaccines,
91
253320
2320
ker diagnostični postopki, cepiva,
04:27
the therapies that we're using,
92
255664
1485
in terapije, ki jih uporabljamo
04:29
are all based on that genome
sequence, fundamentally --
sequence, fundamentally --
93
257173
3358
temeljijo na tisti sekvenci genoma,
ki je ključna -
ki je ključna -
04:32
that's what drives it.
94
260555
1221
to je tisto, kar ga žene.
04:33
And so global health experts
would need to respond,
would need to respond,
95
261800
2882
Zato se morajo
globalno-zdravstveni izvedenci odzvati,
globalno-zdravstveni izvedenci odzvati,
04:36
would have to develop,
96
264706
1197
razviti in preračunati vse,
kar počnejo.
kar počnejo.
04:37
to recalibrate everything
that they were doing.
that they were doing.
97
265927
2553
04:41
But the way that science works,
the position I was in at that point
the position I was in at that point
98
269079
3181
Znanost deluje tako:
Jaz sem bila na poziciji,
Jaz sem bila na poziciji,
04:44
is, I had the data,
99
272284
1151
imela sem podatke
04:45
and I could have worked
in a silo for many, many months,
in a silo for many, many months,
100
273459
2636
lahko bi delala v kleti več mesecev
04:48
analyzed the data carefully, slowly,
101
276119
2199
in jih pazljivo ter počasi analizirala,
04:50
submitted the paper for publication,
gone through a few back-and-forths,
gone through a few back-and-forths,
102
278342
3460
poslala članek za objavo
04:53
and then finally when the paper came out,
might release that data.
might release that data.
103
281826
3129
in bi potem, ko bi bil objavljen,
morda objavila vse podatke.
morda objavila vse podatke.
04:56
That's the way the status quo works.
104
284979
2204
Tako trenutno vse deluje.
04:59
Well, that was not going to work
at this point, right?
at this point, right?
105
287207
2571
Ampak to ne bi delovalo, kajne?
05:01
We had friends on the front lines
106
289802
1608
Imeli smo prijatelje v središču boja
05:03
and to us it was just obvious
that what we needed is help,
that what we needed is help,
107
291434
3254
in nam je bilo očitno,
da potrebujemo pomoč,
da potrebujemo pomoč,
05:06
lots of help.
108
294712
1156
veliko pomoči.
05:07
So the first thing we did is,
109
295892
1397
Prva stvari, ki smo jo naredili
05:09
as soon as the sequences
came off the machines,
came off the machines,
110
297313
2685
takoj, ko so se iz strojev
pojavile sekvence,
pojavile sekvence,
05:12
we published it to the web.
111
300022
1429
smo jih objavili na internetu.
05:13
We just released it to the whole world
and said, "Help us."
and said, "Help us."
112
301475
2836
Pokazali smo jih celotnem svetu in rekli:
"Pomagajte nam."
"Pomagajte nam."
05:16
And help came.
113
304335
1335
In pomoč je prišla.
05:17
Before we knew it,
114

1162
Preden smo se zavedli,
05:18
we were being contacted
from people all over,
from people all over,
115
306880
2336
so nam pisali ljudje iz celotnega sveta,
05:21
surprised to see the data
out there and released.
out there and released.
116
309240
2444
presenečeni nad objavo podatkov.
05:23
Some of the greatest
viral trackers in the world
viral trackers in the world
117
311708
2252
Nekateri izmed najboljših
virusnih sledilcev
virusnih sledilcev
05:25
were suddenly part of our community.
118
313984
2079
so bili nenadoma del naše skupnosti.
05:28
We were working together
in this virtual way,
in this virtual way,
119
316087
2330
Na virtualen način smo delali skupaj,
05:30
sharing, regular calls, communications,
120
318441
2981
delili podatke, se klicali in pogovarjali,
05:33
trying to follow the virus
minute by minute,
minute by minute,
121
321446
2751
poskušali slediti virusu vsako minuto,
05:36
to see ways that we could stop it.
122
324221
2221
da bi našli načine, kako ga zaustaviti.
05:39
And there are so many ways
that we can form communities like that.
that we can form communities like that.
123
327027
3758
Obstaja mnogo načinov, s katerimi
lahko oblikujemo takšne skupnosti.
lahko oblikujemo takšne skupnosti.
05:43
Everybody, particularly when the outbreak
started to expand globally,
started to expand globally,
124
331182
4325
Vsak, še sploh, ko se je izbruh virusa
začel širiti v svet,
začel širiti v svet,
05:47
was reaching out to learn,
to participate, to engage.
to participate, to engage.
125
335531
3590
se je želel učiti, sodelovati
in vključiti.
in vključiti.
05:51
Everybody wants to play a part.
126
339788
1594
Vsak je želel biti del tega.
05:53
The amount of human capacity
out there is just amazing,
out there is just amazing,
127
341406
2780
Količina človeške kapacitete
je bila enostavno neverjetna.
je bila enostavno neverjetna.
05:56
and the Internet connects us all.
128
344210
1723
Internet nas je vse povezal.
05:57
And could you imagine that instead
of being frightened of each other,
of being frightened of each other,
129
345957
3251
Lahko si predstavljate, da smo
namesto, da bi se bali drug drugega,
namesto, da bi se bali drug drugega,
06:01
that we all just said, "Let's do this.
130
349232
1857
samo rekli: "Naredimo to.
06:03
Let's work together,
and let's make this happen."
and let's make this happen."
131
351113
2523
Sodelujmo in omogočimo to."
06:05
But the problem is that the data
that all of us are using,
that all of us are using,
132
353660
2742
Ampak problem je v tem,
da so podatki, ki jih uporabljamo,
da so podatki, ki jih uporabljamo,
06:08
Googling on the web, is just too limited
to do what we need to do.
to do what we need to do.
133
356426
4037
z brskanjem po internetu, preveč omejeni,
da bi iz njih naredili kar moramo.
da bi iz njih naredili kar moramo.
06:12
And so many opportunities
get missed when that happens.
get missed when that happens.
134
360487
2651
S tem zamudimo zelo veliko priložnosti.
06:15
So in the early part
of the epidemic from Kenema,
of the epidemic from Kenema,
135
363162
2481
Na začetku epidemije v Kenemi
06:17
we'd had 106 clinical records
from patients,
from patients,
136
365667
2742
smo imeli 106 kliničnih zapisov pacientov,
06:20
and we once again made that
publicly available to the world.
publicly available to the world.
137
368433
2834
ki smo jih javno objavili.
06:23
And in our own lab, we could show
that you could take those 106 records,
that you could take those 106 records,
138
371291
3670
V našem lastnem laboratoriju smo ugotovili,
da lahko s temi 106. zapisi
da lahko s temi 106. zapisi
06:26
we could train computers to predict
the prognosis for Ebola patients
the prognosis for Ebola patients
139
374985
3618
računalnike pripravimo do tega,
da napovejo prognozo Ebole
da napovejo prognozo Ebole
06:30
to near 100 percent accuracy.
140
378627
1777
s skoraj 100% natančnostjo.
06:32
And we made an app
that could release that,
that could release that,
141
380428
2097
Naredili smo aplikacijo,
ki bi to naredila
ki bi to naredila
06:34
to make that available
to health-care workers in the field.
to health-care workers in the field.
142
382549
2770
in jo želeli narediti dosegljivo
vsem zdravstvenim delavcem.
vsem zdravstvenim delavcem.
06:37
But 106 is just not enough
to make it powerful,
to make it powerful,
143
385343
3259
Ampak 106 še ni dovolj,
da bi bila aplikacija zanesljiva,
da bi bila aplikacija zanesljiva,
06:40
to validate it.
144
388626
1151
da bi jo lahko potrdili.
06:41
So we were waiting for more data
to release that.
to release that.
145
389801
2654
Zato smo čakali na še več podatkov,
preden bi objavili aplikacijo,
preden bi objavili aplikacijo,
06:44
and the data has still not come.
146
392479
2044
ampak podatki niso prišli.
06:46
We are still waiting, tweaking away,
147
394547
2532
Še vedno čakamo in optimiziramo
06:49
in silos rather than working together.
148
397103
2838
v naši kleti, namesto,
da bi delali skupaj.
da bi delali skupaj.
06:51
And this just -- we can't accept that.
149
399965
2232
Tega ne moremo sprejeti.
06:54
Right? You, all of you,
cannot accept that.
cannot accept that.
150
402221
3804
Imam prav? Vsi vi tega ne smete sprejeti.
06:58
It's our lives on the line.
151
406049
1682
Naša življenja visijo na nitki.
06:59
And in fact, actually,
152
407755
1711
Dejstvo je,
07:01
many lives were lost,
many health-care workers,
many health-care workers,
153
409490
2543
da je bilo izgubljeno veliko življenj,
veliko zdravstvenih delavcev,
veliko zdravstvenih delavcev,
07:04
including beloved colleagues of mine,
154
412057
1894
vključno z mojimi sodelavci,
07:05
five colleagues:
Mbalu Fonnie, Alex Moigboi,
Mbalu Fonnie, Alex Moigboi,
155
413975
3747
bilo jih je pet:
Mbalu Fonnie, Alex Moigboi,
Mbalu Fonnie, Alex Moigboi,
07:09
Dr. Humarr Khan, Alice Kovoma
and Mohamed Fullah.
and Mohamed Fullah.
156
417746
4011
doktor Humarr Khan, Alice Kovoma
in Mohamed Fullah.
in Mohamed Fullah.
07:13
These are just five
of many health-care workers
of many health-care workers
157
421781
2526
To je samo pet od ogromnega števila
zdravstvenih delavcev
zdravstvenih delavcev
07:16
at Kenema and beyond
158
424331
1764
v Kenemi in drugje,
07:18
that died while the world waited
and while we all worked,
and while we all worked,
159
426119
3036
ki so umrli ko je svet čakal
in medtem ko smo mi vsi delali,
in medtem ko smo mi vsi delali,
07:21
quietly and separately.
160
429179
1860
tiho in ločeno.
07:23
See, Ebola, like all threats to humanity,
161
431063
2033
Ebola, kot vse grožnje človeštvu,
07:25
it's fueled by mistrust
and distraction and division.
and distraction and division.
162
433120
3884
je virus, ki se hrani z nezaupanjem,
motnjami in deljenjem.
motnjami in deljenjem.
07:29
When we build barriers amongst ourselves
and we fight amongst ourselves,
and we fight amongst ourselves,
163
437028
3773
Ko zgradimo meje med nami
in se borimo med seboj,
in se borimo med seboj,
07:32
the virus thrives.
164
440825
1820
virus uspeva.
07:34
But unlike all threats to humanity,
165
442669
1792
V nasprotju z ostalimi grožnjami
07:36
Ebola is one where
we're actually all the same.
we're actually all the same.
166
444485
2646
je Ebola edina, kjer smo dejansko
vsi enaki.
vsi enaki.
07:39
We're all in this fight together.
167
447155
1880
V tem boju smo vsi skupaj.
07:41
Ebola on one person's doorstep
could soon be on ours.
could soon be on ours.
168
449059
2634
Ebola na sosedovem pragu,
je kmalu lahko tudi na vašem.
je kmalu lahko tudi na vašem.
07:44
And so in this place
with the same vulnerabilities,
with the same vulnerabilities,
169
452177
2802
Zato v tem prostoru
z enakimi občutljivostmi,
z enakimi občutljivostmi,
07:47
the same strengths,
the same fears, the same hopes,
the same fears, the same hopes,
170
455003
2413
močmi, strahovi in upi,
07:49
I hope that we work together with joy.
171
457440
3209
upam, da lahko delujemo skupaj z veseljem.
07:54
A graduate student of mine
was reading a book about Sierra Leone,
was reading a book about Sierra Leone,
172
462427
3070
Ena izmed mojih študentk
je brala knjigo o Sierri Leone
je brala knjigo o Sierri Leone
07:57
and she discovered that the word "Kenema,"
173
465521
2334
in ugotovila, da je beseda "Kenema",
07:59
the hospital that we work at and the city
where we work in Sierra Leone,
where we work in Sierra Leone,
174
467879
3443
bolnišnica in mesto v kateri delamo
v Sierri Leone,
v Sierri Leone,
08:03
is named after the Mende word
for "clear like a river, translucent
for "clear like a river, translucent
175
471346
4181
poimenovana po Mende besedi,
ki pomeni "čista kot reka, prosojna
ki pomeni "čista kot reka, prosojna
08:07
and open to the public gaze."
176
475551
1587
odprta očem javnosti.
08:09
That was really profound for us,
177
477439
1545
To je bilo osupljivo za nas,
08:11
because without knowing it,
we'd always felt
we'd always felt
178
479008
2094
ker smo se brez zavedanja vedno čutili,
08:13
that in order to honor the individuals
in Kenema where we worked,
in Kenema where we worked,
179
481126
3184
da moramo v skladu s tem,
da častimo posameznike v Kenemi,
da častimo posameznike v Kenemi,
08:16
we had to work openly, we had to share
and we had to work together.
and we had to work together.
180
484334
4287
delovati odprto, moramo vse deliti
in moramo skupaj sodelovati.
in moramo skupaj sodelovati.
08:21
And we have to do that.
181
489074
1177
To moramo storiti.
08:22
We all have to demand that
of ourselves and others --
of ourselves and others --
182
490275
3761
To moramo zahtevati zase in za druge.
08:26
to be open to each other
when an outbreak happens,
when an outbreak happens,
183
494060
2874
Ko se zgodi izbruh, moramo biti
odprti drug do drugega,
odprti drug do drugega,
08:28
to fight in this fight together.
184
496958
1650
da lahko to bitko bijemo skupaj.
08:30
Because this is not the first
outbreak of Ebola,
outbreak of Ebola,
185
498632
2909
To ni prvi izbruh Ebole
08:33
it will not be the last,
186
501565
1448
in tudi ne bo zadnji.
08:35
and there are many other microbes
out there that are lying in wait,
out there that are lying in wait,
187
503037
3155
Zunaj je mnogo drugih mikrobov,
ki počivajo in čakajo,
ki počivajo in čakajo,
08:38
like Lassa virus and others.
188
506216
1425
tako kot Lassa in ostali.
08:39
And the next time this happens,
189
507665
1509
Naslednjič, ko se to zgodi,
08:41
it could happen in a city of millions,
it could start there.
it could start there.
190
509198
3196
lahko se zgodi v milijonskem mestu,
lahko se začne tukaj.
lahko se začne tukaj.
08:44
It could be something
that's transmitted through the air.
that's transmitted through the air.
191
512418
2699
Lahko je nekaj, kar se prenaša po zraku.
08:47
It could even be
disseminated intentionally.
disseminated intentionally.
192
515141
2147
Lahko se celo raznaša namenoma.
08:49
And I know that that is frightening,
I understand that,
I understand that,
193
517312
2981
Vem, da je to strašljivo,
razumem vas,
razumem vas,
08:52
but I know also,
and this experience shows us,
and this experience shows us,
194
520317
2654
ampak vedite,
da nas ta izkušnja uči,
da nas ta izkušnja uči,
08:54
that we have the technology
and we have the capacity
and we have the capacity
195
522995
3320
da imamo tehnologijo in kapacitete,
08:58
to win this thing,
196
526339
1595
da to premagamo,
08:59
to win this and have
the upper hand over viruses.
the upper hand over viruses.
197
527958
2846
da zmagamo in imamo prednost pred virusi.
09:02
But we can only do it if we do it together
198
530828
2272
Ampak to lahko naredimo le,
če delujemo skupaj
če delujemo skupaj
09:05
and we do it with joy.
199
533124
1197
in to delamo z veseljem.
09:06
So for Dr. Khan
200
534871
1521
Zato bo doktor Khan
09:08
and for all of those who sacrificed
their lives on the front lines
their lives on the front lines
201
536416
4166
in vsi tisti, ki so žrtvovali
svoja življenja v prvih bojnih črtah,
svoja življenja v prvih bojnih črtah,
09:12
in this fight with us always,
202
540606
2400
vedno v boju z nami
09:15
let us be in this fight with them always.
203
543030
2807
in bodimo tudi mi z njimi.
09:17
And let us not let the world be defined
204
545861
1875
Naj ne bo naš svet definiran
09:19
by the destruction wrought by one virus,
205
547760
2119
z uničenjem, ki ga povzroči en virus,
09:21
but illuminated by billions
of hearts and minds
of hearts and minds
206
549903
2781
ampak osvetljen z milijardami src in glav,
09:24
working in unity.
207
552708
1208
ki delujejo skupaj.
09:25
Thank you.
