GORSUCH WINS BIG! Look Which Top 2 Democrats Pledged To Vote For Neil Gorsuch! - Duration: 10:26.

GORSUCH WINS BIG!

Look Which Top 2 Democrats Pledged To Vote For Neil Gorsuch!

Senator Joe Manchin will now vote to confirm Neil Gorsuch to be the ninth justice Supreme

Court.

This is huge.

Here is Joe Manchin's statement:

"Senators have a constitutional obligation to advice (sic) and consent on a nominee to

fill this Supreme Court vacancy and, simply put, we have a responsibility to do our jobs

as elected officials," Manchin said in a statement Thursday.

"I will vote to confirm him to be the ninth justice on the Supreme Court."

BREAKING UPDATE: Now, Heidi Heitkamp is going to support Gorsuch for nomination as well.

She is a Democrat from North Dakota.

Here is her video statement:

Here is what Heidi Heitkamp said:

"After doing my due diligence by meeting with Judge Gorsuch and reviewing his record

and testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee, I've decided to vote in favor

of his confirmation.

He has a record as a balanced, meticulous, and well-respected jurist who understands

the rule of law," she said in a statement.That's because Neil Gorsuch is a great choice.

During his time on the bench, Judge Gorsuch has gotten praise by both Democrats and Republicans.

He has been rated as a high-quality jurist.

*** SHARE THIS everywhere!

Neil Gorsuch is gonna get in!

Get this out there.

The Democrats are folding.

Share this so that Trump can see the great news! (h/t Washington Examiner)SCANDAL ALERT!

Obama Changed This ONE Rule Just to SPY on Donald Trump!

Donald Trump was 100% right!

Barack Obama DID make a massive rule change right before leaving office just to get away

with spying on President Trump.

There was a longstanding rule that forced intelligence agencies to censor the names

of Americans intercepted during monitoring on foreign nationals before passing them on.

According to the new report from Circa.com, however, Obama made a last minuted switch

up that allowed him to target Trump and his team!

Obama changed a key rule that allowed him to unmask and then share the names revealed

with all of his top staff including, but not limited to, Susan Rice, John Brennan, and

Loretta Lynch.

The report also alleges that some of the intercepted reports gathered between November and January

concerned figures in Donald Trump's transition team who were communicating with foreign nationals.

Luckily, however, the NSA is expected to hand over a full and detailed report to Congress

soon revealing who and to what degree Obama abused this rule to spy on.

One source said,

"Wholesale access to unmasked incidental NSA intercepts essentially created the potential

for spying on Americans overseas after the fact, which is exactly what our foreign intelligence

arms are not supposed to be doing."

This is a very SERIOUS accusation.

If it is all true, and it seems more and more likely that it is, that means Obama violated

the Fourth Amendment to the Constitution that protects Americans from unlawful and unreasonable

search and seizures.

Of course, you and I both know the media will do their best to cover this up.

That's why it's up to us to SHARE this truth everywhere!Melania Rushes Out Of Female

Empowerment Event After Heinous Thing That Happened To Her

One would think that feminists would rally around other women, right?

Well, you would think that, but in this topsy-turvy world, you are very wrong.

You see, feminists only rally around women who think EXACTLY like them.

So, if you happen to have your own thought process they will shred you faster than you

could yell there is no such thing as patriarchy.

That was perfectly depicted yesterday when Melania Trump delivered a beautiful speech

at the State Department.

The first lady spoke at the Women of Courage Ceremony, encouraging women to be brave and

letting them know that they have a voice.

Of course, the liberal rag CNN covered the event and it is clear these fembots were in

a conundrum over it.

These feminist women wanted to appear tolerant and accepting of Melania since she is a woman,

but their hatred for Trump would not allow it.

One CNN guest, named Kate Bower could not mask her disdain for Melania at all.

So, Bower took the opportunity to bash the First Lady and then praise Michelle Obama.

Here is the full clip.

In case you missed it this what Kate Bower had to say.

"Well, another author said 'does she have a low profile?'

No, she has pretty much no profile at this point," she answered.

"I think there is a big question mark about what she's going to take on."

"We just saw that she hired a communications director, which I think could make a big difference

for her, but by this point in Michelle Obama's tenure, she had a staff around her.

She was very involved.

She had graced the covers of magazines and been a real force in Washington, and because

Melania Trump doesn't live here, we don't see much of her."

Jealousy much ladies?

Seriously gals, you all need to grow up already.

These women were so catty to Melania that they missed what woman empowerment really

is.

After the event, Melania rushed to take care of her other duties, like being a wife and

mother.

While the left may demean women who take these roles lightly, Melania does not.

And, if these women were truly about empowerment for all women they would be applauding her

and not ripping her to shreds.

H/T [ Daily Caller ]BOOM!

GDP Numbers Have Been Revised, And It's Every Democrat's Nightmare

Following the Trump administration coming into office the economy is doing better and

better by the day.

The gross domestic product has continued to increase.

In the final and third estimate of Q4 GDP, the BEA changed the prior estimate of 1.8%

to 2.1%.

It is being attributed to a sharp rise in consumer spending.

Consumer spending rose to 3.5% after previously being at 3.0% in Q2.

Consumption by itself was more than then entire GDP increase.

The second revision showed a 2.05% increase.

The real GDP spending increase is a result of a plethora of variables which include,

Consumer spending Private inventory investment

Residential investment Business investment

State and local government spending

In part though they were offset by declines in the department of exports and federal government

spending.

Imports are determined by subtracting the calculation of the GDP.

Look at some of the graphs below, Foreign travel, recreation services, gasoline

and other energy goods were the biggest economic contributors to the upward revision.

Purchase prices for American goods have increased 2.0% after consistently increasing over previous

quarters.

This did not include energy and food.

On other fronts, nonfinancial corporations decreased 4.9% in the fourth quarter while

there was a 5.4% percent increase in financial corporations.

Corporate profits increased in the United States 9.3%.

Overall under the Trump administration, the economy is slowly but surely getting better

and better.

Increases are never going to go in spikes but instead come in slow but consistent increases.

It is the President's pro-business policies that are no doubt playing a role in this success.

He has already rolled back anti-coal regulation as well as the halting of the Keystone and

Dakota Access pipeline.

Trump knows what it means to be successful and he is bringing that success to the American

economy.

We will only continue to win from here.National Vietnam War Veterans Day

On March 28, President Trump signed Senate Bill 305, the Vietnam War Veterans Recognition

Act of 2017 which designates March 29 as National Vietnam War Veterans Day.

It was on this day in 1973 that the last U.S. combat troops left Vietnam on this day in.

President Trump tweeted:

"Tonight I'm proud to sign S. 305, which encourages the display of the U.S. flag on

National Vietnam War Veterans Day tomorrow, March 29th."

U.S. Sen. Pat Toomey (R-PA), who co-authored the bill with Joe Donnelly (D-IN), said, Some

of them were actually treated quite poorly.

And that was a tragic period in our history driven by people's perceptions of the war.

Fortunately, that, I think, is behind us now.

And I hope and I believe we've gotten to a place where the American people realize

how much we really should be grateful to the men and the women who served this country

in Vietnam during that very, very difficult time."

And Zachariah Pearson, director of McKean County, Penn.

Veterans Affairs added,

Vietnam veterans nobly served during a conflict which was not too popular during that time.

It's an absolute shame the way in which this country responded to the welcoming home

of our Vietnam veterans.

When they got home, they struggled to find employment, healthcare and places to go to

talk about some of the events that took place over there."

Many of us Vietnam Veterans remember the way we were treated as we returned home.

And many of us will continue to suffer from our participation in that war.

But we will never forget that

Out of the 2.7 million U.S. service members who served in Vietnam, more than 58,000 were

killed and more than 304,000 were wounded.

And we are thankful to all of you who come up to us and thank us for our service to our

country.

You may be unaware how much we appreciate that.

Motospeed V30 - Игровая мышь за 900 рублей с RGB подсветкой и макросами - Duration: 6:18.

Hello everyone, my name is Askar and it is "IT Verdict" channel.

If you have watched my last video that was about the brands,

you probably saw and maybe even wrote comments

like "too much water", "we need examples".

However, in that video, I had no goal

in bringing as many examples as possible.

I rather expressed my position

on the issue of buying brands.

But this video will be about device,

But this video will be about device,

that a could talk about in the last video.

This video will be about the gaming mouse Motospeed m30.

It's a mouse from the company

that made on of the most popular cheap mechanical keyboards Motospeed ck104,

review on which we have on the channel.

Let's see how good will be mouse from this company.

1) And we will start with the appearance and materials.

As for the materials, the mouse is made

of a nice softtouch plastic,

but after some time

there are some zone

that start to be more dark.

Under the side keys there is a black panel

that visually imitates the skin,

but it's just a touch-like textured plastic.

In front is also located a black plastic panel.

As for the buttons, in addition to the wheel

and left-right buttons, there are 2 additional buttons

under the left thumbs, and there is also a switch

between 4 dpi profiles, the values of each of which

can be configured in the software.

In addition, in the software you can configure

14 zones of backlight!

14 zones of backlight!

Some more information about backlight.

It is RGB and all zones are arranged so that they emphasize

the form of the mouse and it looks very nice.

And in general the mouse looks more than worthy

and there are no hints of cheapness.

The materials are qualitative, nothing creaks.

The materials are qualitative, nothing creaks.

2) And now let's talk about the functions and software.

The mouse is optical, has a sensor with 3500dpi,

switches from the "Omron" with a resource

of 50 million clicks.

As for software, it will most likely surprise you.

As for software, it will most likely surprise you.

We have 2 tabs with standard and advanced settings.

We have 2 tabs with standard and advanced settings.

On the first tab, we can select one of two mouse profiles

in each of which we can customize

absolutely all buttons as you want.

On the right tub

can set the report rate

and can set 4 profiles of DPI.

That is convenient, if you use only 2 DPI modes,

That is convenient, if you use only 2 DPI modes,

then you can disable unnecessary modes.

then you can disable unnecessary modes.

Also at the bottom is a small button,

which opens the setting of the backlight.

There we can choose one of several modes,

brightness of the backlight, speed and direction of it.

However, some modes do not allow you

to choose some of the settings.

Fo example we can't choose the direction for neon mode.

But for breathing mode (for example),

you can set up 14 backlight zones,

each of which you set by different colour

and get very beautiful iridescent combinations.

In the second tab,we can adjust the mouse speed,

scrolling speed and the speed of double click.

scrolling speed and the speed of double click.

On the left side we can record

full-fledged macros.

Yes, and this software of the mouse for 16$

Summing up, I want to say that in my opinion

this is an excellent device the company "motospeed" really worked on it.

this is an excellent device the company "motospeed" really worked on it.

Design materials, functionality and quality

and of course the price can make you happy.

Unfortunately, there are people who still think

that Chinese technologies are not good.

that Chinese technologies are not good.

However, listen me

However, listen me

1) Most of famous brands are producing in China

2) I will give you an example.

At this year on my eyes dead 3 excellent mices

from the corsair for 100$ and from SteelSeries for 160$.

from the corsair for 100$ and from SteelSeries for 160$.

Moreover, I'm not saying that these companies produce bad devices,

simply if the prodict is more complicated and technological,

then the chance to break is getting bigger,

then the chance to break is getting bigger,

then the chance to break is getting bigger,

and do not expect that with brands this does not happen.

In general, thank you for your attention.

Once again I will say that I liked the mouse

and thanks to Gearbest store, that sent me it.

Second Guessing Yourself? - Duration: 5:38.

Hi, this is Michelle Caskey from

Homeschool-Your-Boys.com. I have a lot of

parents who ask me questions that... where

they're concerned about how they're

going to know if they're doing enough

for their children, or how are they going

to know if homeschooling is working for

their family, or how are they going to

be able to have that peace of mind and

that comfort to know that what they're

doing is right. And, unfortunately as

parents it's very easy for us to

second-guess ourselves. We want the very

best for our children whether we

homeschool or not. For instance when our

children are babies, even before they're

born, actually, we start worrying about

making sure that we're eating the right

foods, and getting enough water. Are we

exercising, have we gotten the classical

music out and made sure that our baby

can hear that through our tummy and

there's just... it starts from the very

beginning. The second that we find out

that we're pregnant we start being

conscious of our decisions and wanting

to make sure that we're doing everything

as well as we possibly can for our

babies. And that just continues as they

grow and, you know, they get a little bit

older. And perhaps you will have a child

who has an allergy and our first thought

is, "Oh no, I should never have given them

that taste of ice cream at so-and-so's

party because now they have this milk

allergy and I'm sure it's because of

something that I've done." And the same thing

goes with homeschooling, you know, we'll

have a child who has a hard time reading

or who doesn't enjoy writing or struggles

with math and our first thought is, "Oh no,

if I had put them in school they

wouldn't be struggling like this." And I

think that's a natural inclination for

us to blame ourselves. But, when we have

those thoughts I would recommend that

you take it to God. Talk to him. Ask him

for advice. What is it that you should be

doing for your

child in that situation. Ask him to guide

you and to bring mentors into your life

to help you to know what you should be

covering with your child. We all have

different strengths and weaknesses and

our kids are going to struggle in

certain areas whether we homeschool them

or whether they're in public school. And

I can guarantee you that most moms are

going to second-guess themselves no

matter what the schooling situation. Even if

they have their child at the very best

most expensive private school they're

probably going to wonder, "Oh boy,

have I made a mistake in putting

my child here because now they are

exposed to such and such child or they

are starting to get an entitlement

mentality or whatever." I mean, you can

you can always find a way to blame yourself.

So, I would recommend that talk to God

ask him to give you peace about your

situation. Ask him to give you wisdom

about your situation. And he will let you

know if he wants you to change something.

I've had situations happen in my own

life where, for instance, I was out and

about way too much and I felt like God

was saying, "You know what? You need to

spend some more time at home. This isn't...

For me, I was too scattered and I needed

to be able to bring that back home and

really focus on some things that got

brought to mind. There's also been times

when I was a total homebody and I felt God

prompting me that it was important for

my kids to make a few new friends or

connections with some other peers. And so

we would do certain things to make sure

that that happened. So, if you are in

communication with God, if you are asking

him for wisdom and you're listening and

trying to apply what it is that he tells

you, then you can have that peace of mind

of knowing that God has created your

child. God has your child here for a

specific purpose and he will make sure

that you train your child in the way

that he needs to be trained so that his...

God's purposes will be fulfilled through

your child. So, anyway, I hope that gives

you some encouragement. You're probably

not going to feel the warm fuzzy feeling

while your child is growing up. But, I

know even now that my kids are teens, I

can look back and I can see glimpses of

the men that they are becoming. And that

gives me great joy to know that they are

becoming men of God. And all the hard

work and all of the probably mistakes

that I make, God can take that and he can

Funny Jokes #126 - TRUCKER AND 3 BIKERS - Jokes for kids - Duration: 1:12.

TRUCKER AND 3 BIKERS

At a truck stop off I-40 in Arkansas about 2 o'clock in the morning,

a trucker was having a cup of coffee and a piece of pie and was romancing the solitary

waitress there.

All of a sudden, three mean looking bikers came in.

They observed the connection between the waitress and the trucker and started to make nasty

and suggestive remarks trying to get the trucker to start something.

But the trucker didn't say anything, just paid his bill and walked out.

One of the bikers said to the waitress, "Looks like your boyfriend ain't much of a man."

The waitress just leaned on the cash register and looked out the window and said,

"Yeah, and he ain't much of a trucker either.

He just ran his truck over three motorcycles."

At this time please welcome Dr. Ottendorfer.

Good afternoon everyone.

My name is Christy Ottendorfer with the Centers

for Disease Control and Prevention.

And today's presentation I'll be covering the new guidance

for U.S laboratories testing for Zika virus infection.

As CDC learns more about Zika virus CDC incorporates new

information into its laboratory guidance for Zika virus

so that we can refine and improve these assays.

During this call I have included some questions here for you

to consider as a part of the new algorithms

that have been developed.

Approximately two weeks ago CDC issued an update to its guidance

for US laboratories testing for Zika virus.

This guidance expands the test parameters

for CDC's approved Trioplex RT-PCR assay as well

as acknowledging other available commercial tests.

In addition the guidance document provides additional

clarification for symptomatic patients

and asymptomatic pregnant women with epidemiological criteria

that should be tested, plus the appropriate testing algorithms.

The full algorithms are located on the website noted here

and will be covered in more detail

by another presenter today.

As you may have experienced, laboratory diagnosis

of Zika virus is complicated.

There is often cross-reactivity

with other circulating flaviviruses

or prior yellow fever vaccination history in patients.

This figure provides some background

on why different tests and specimens are needed.

Following exposure Zika virus RNA is the first detectable

analyte in the blood.

That's shown in the first curve.

Zika virus RT-PCR should be performed

for specimens collected within 14 days after onset of symptoms.

Urine and amniotic fluid can also be collected

for this type of molecular test.

As viremia declines the second detectable analyte,

anti-Zika IgM antibodies, that are shown

in the second curve, will rise.

Serology assays are used to detect Zika virus specific IgM

and neutralizing antibodies

which typically develop towards the end

of the first week of illness.

Of note IgM antibody levels also decline over time.

As a result anti-Zika IgM antibodies can be detected

up to 12 weeks after infection.

Since these analytes rise and fall over time it's important

to collect a paired serum to assist in diagnosis

as antibody levels may remain elevated

for a longer time period than the viral RNA.

Finally as a reminder testing should be limited

to specimens collected

from individuals meeting CDC's clinical

and epidemiological criteria.

There are three assays that are commonly used

to detect Zika virus, nucleic acid tests,

which are also commonly called RT-PCR assays,

are used to detect viral RNA.

In addition there are two types of serological assays,

the IgM ELISA and the plaque reduction neutralization test

or PRNT.

The Zika MAC-ELISA is used for presumptive detection

of the Zika IgM antibodies and specimens that are positive

on Zika MAC-ELISA are currently further analyzed using a plaque

reduction neutralization test;

however PRNT confirmation is not currently routinely recommended

in Puerto Rico.

And this is one of the updates to the laboratory guidance

that was recently issued.

The reason for this is there is a high prevalence

of dengue virus and cross-reactivity

in these tests in that area.

CDC developed the first two diagnostic assays for Zika virus

that FDA issued an Emergency Use Authorization.

The MAC-ELISA is used for presumptive detection

of anti-Zika IgM antibodies,

whereas CDC's Trioplex RT-PCR can detect Zika,

dengue and chikungunya viral RNA, which can distinguish

from other viruses with similar clinical signs of Zika virus.

These Trioplex test results can help inform important clinical

and public health decisions as well as improve efficiency

and throughput of laboratory testing.

CDC's Zika diagnostic assays are distributed in the United States

in the Laboratory Response Network,

and have also been distributed internationally including

over 1000 Trioplex RT-PCR kits to 115 countries.

The low level of viremia observed

in some Zika virus cases poses a challenge for molecular testing.

As a result, CDC continues to refine and improve its assays.

Recently the FDA approved the addition of whole blood

and analysis of larger sample volumes

for CDC's Trioplex assay.

These updates were demonstrated to increase the sensitivity

of the Trioplex assay and both methods may improve detection

of low levels of viral RNA.

Further, new laboratory instruments were approved

that are commonly available in diagnostic laboratories.

This is an overview of other commercial assays

that have been developed for Zika virus diagnostic testing.

There are ten commercial diagnostic manufacturers

that have received an FDA EUA

for molecular test for Zika viral RNA.

Recently all manufacturers

with EUA molecular tests were requested

to reassess individual test sensitivity using an FDA

recommended reference panel.

The FDA reference panel contains RNA

from two current Zika virus strains

and three controls for blind testing.

Test performance results of these assays will be published

so that test performance can be compared among EUA manufacturers

by laboratories nationwide.

Besides the CDC Zika MAC-ELISA one commercial diagnostic

manufacturer has received an EUA for serological test.

Similar to the FDA reference panel mentioned above,

three independent laboratories are also conducting performance

evaluation of the available serological assays.

These results will help inform future laboratory

testing decisions.

Three commercial laboratories have been licensed

and are using CDC's Zika MAC-ELISA.

This is an overview of all of the nucleic acid-based EUAs

that are approved for Zika virus testing.

Note whole blood is approved for CDC Trioplex assay only.

Please check with your laboratory prior

to specimen collection as each EUA has specific requirements

and which assays are available at that laboratory.

Specific information on each FDA EUA is available

at the website noted here and refer to the labeling section

for further instructions.

This is an overview

of the available IgM antibody test for Zika.

Further CDC is meeting with states with high risk

of local transmission.

At this time the state of Texas has identified a potential case

of local Zika virus transmission

and CDC is supporting their investigation.

Fortunately we have Dr. Kubin on the line today and she will be,

I'm sure, have a lot of lessons or a lot of discussion

of this topic and things that they're learning at this time.

In addition CDC works to ensure there is adequate laboratory

capacity for potential testing demand and providing reagents

to support the CDC developed assays for Zika virus.

In closing, CDC recently issued updated laboratory guidance

as we learn more about Zika virus infection and detection.

To improve sensitivity of the CDC Trioplex assay whole blood

and analysis of larger sample volumes were added to the EUA.

Serum must also be collected for serological testing.

FDA has approved several EUAs

for Zika virus clinical diagnostic testing as well

so not only CDC developed assays.

CDC will continue to monitor Zika virus disease

and incorporate what is learned

into its recommendations and guidance.

Thank you for your attention.

All right, so this is Matt Binnicker.

I'm the Director of Clinical Virology at Mayo Clinic

and I want to thank everyone who's calling in today

for this update on Zika virus testing.

I also want to thank APHL, ASM, who I'm representing today,

and the CDC for coordinating this important webinar

and for inviting me to participate.

So the goal for my portion of the presentation will be

to provide you with an update on the assays that are available

to clinical laboratories for the diagnosis of Zika virus.

And then we're going

to highlight how we can use these tests.

And we're going to do that by reviewing a series

of case vignettes.

I think one of the things that we've come to recognize

and appreciate since the beginning

of the Zika virus outbreak is that our success

at controlling this virus is going to require a team effort.

It's going to depend on careful coordination

and cooperation among healthcare providers, public health,

but also clinical laboratories.

And I can't stress enough that involvement of both local

and private diagnostic laboratories will be essential

in optimizing our ability

to control this emerging viral threat and diagnose

and manage our patients.

And I think this is because the local laboratories are going

to be closest to the patient, and can provide the most rapid

and actionable results.

And in addition, clinical labs must be involved

and play an integral role so that we can reduce the burden

of testing that's placed on our public health labs,

such as the CDC, during these outbreak settings.

Currently, as was reviewed during the first portion

of the presentation, diagnostic assays for Zika,

whether they be molecular or serologic,

require emergency use authorization from the Food

and Drug Administration prior to being used routinely.

The CDC assays were the first

to receive emergency use authorization,

and as was discussed, include the Trioplex PCR

and the MAC-ELISA serology test.

Trioplex detects Zika, dengue, and chikungunya viruses

from a variety of different sample types.

And according to the latest testing guidelines

that were released recently,

serum remains the preferred sample type but now whole blood

and additional sample types can be submitted.

But if they are [submitted], they should be accompanied

by a paired serum sample.

There have been some recent studies that have been published

and shown that Zika virus may be shed in sample types

such as urine and whole blood for longer periods of time.

So those samples may be a good option if it's been more

than a week or 14 days since the patient had their onset

of symptoms.

Importantly, the Trioplex PCR assay is currently available

only at the CDC and in select CDC designated public

health labs.

The MAC-ELISA assay is a serologic test,

that detects IgM class antibodies from serum samples

and at this time it is available only at the CDC but also

at CDC designated public health labs,

and also some designated reference laboratories.

Fortunately, as was reviewed earlier, there are now a number

of commercial assays

that received emergency use authorization and are available

for detection of Zika nucleic acid

or antibodies directed against the virus.

The table on this slide is similar to the one

that was shown earlier.

It summarizes some of these commercial assays

that have received EUA.

The second column of the table summarizes the method

that is used, for example, real-time RT-PCR

or transcription mediated amplification, or in the case

of the commercial assay that is approved for serologic testing,

it utilizes an IgM Capture ELISA technique.

The third column also shows the sample types

that have received EUA for each of the respective assays.

I should emphasize though that this is not going

to be an all-inclusive list

and that additional assays will likely become available

in the coming months from various commercial companies.

So now that we have a better appreciation for the assays

that are available to both public health

and clinical laboratories for the diagnosis

of Zika virus infection,

I wanted to spend some time discussing how these tests

should be used in the clinical setting.

And we're going to do that by reviewing four short

clinical cases.

So in the first case we have a 27-year-old female

who has recently returned from vacation in Jamaica.

And one week after arriving back home,

the patient takes a pregnancy test, which is positive.

However, the patient was well throughout the course

of her trip and has not had any symptoms following her return

so in her conversations with her primary care provider

and her obstetrician, the question comes up,

"Is Zika testing recommended in this patient, and if so,

what type of testing should be performed?"

Due to this patient being pregnant

and recently visiting an area

where Zika virus transmission is occurring,

diagnostic testing would be recommended in this case.

A key factor in determining which type

of testing should be performed is the amount

of time that's passed between the patient's return from travel

or their last possible exposure,

and when they present for evaluation.

So if it's been greater than 14 days since the patient returned

from travel or had their last potential exposure then

serologic testing is recommended, and that's shown

in the grayed out portion on the right-hand side

of the algorithm on this slide.

However, if it's been less than 14 days, as is the situation

in this case, then it's recommended

to test a serum sample by an EUA approved PCR method

for Zika virus.

Urine and whole blood now may also be tested,

but if they're submitted, they should be accompanied

by a paired serum sample.

So a positive PCR result in any

of these specimen types would be diagnostic

for Zika virus infection.

And that's showed again grayed out on the left-hand side.

But our patient, however, tested negative by PCR.

Now you might think that with a negative PCR result,

we'd be done with testing in this case.

But in pregnant females who test negative by PCR

and are presenting less than 14 days

after their last potential exposure, it's recommended

to collect a serum sample between that two

and 12-week timeframe after their return from travel

and that serum sample would then be tested

for IgM class antibodies.

And that's because the period of positivity by PCR is very brief,

as was highlighted with the figure earlier

on during the presentation.

In our second case we have a 45-year-old gentleman

from Honduras.

And he visits his family in Texas.

He indicates that he was well during the first seven days

of his visit but has experienced an intermittent low grade fever,

a rash, and mild joint pain over much of the past 2-1/2 weeks.

So again the question comes up,

"Is Zika testing indicated in this patient?"

So as we learned in the first case, one of the first pieces

of information that we need

to drive appropriate testing is determining the amount

of time that's passed between exposure or symptom onset.

So in this case it's been over two weeks

since the patient developed symptoms,

so the recommended approach would be

to test a serum sample by Zika IgM serology.

In addition, serologic testing for chikungunya

and dengue virus would also be indicated

since they can be circulating in that area

and cause a very similar clinical presentation.

Our patient tested positive for IgM class antibodies

to Zika virus and results

for dengue were interpreted as equivocal.

In this situation, the serum sample should be tested

by plaque reduction neutralization at CDC

or a designated lab prior to confirming the diagnosis

as Zika virus infection.

In our third case, we have a 57-year-old female

who lives in Des Moines, Iowa.

And she recently visited Haiti as part

of a church mission trip.

Two days after returning home,

the patient contacts her primary care provider, and like most

of us has seen a lot of information of Zika on the news,

and so this patient is worried and requests testing for Zika.

When asked whether the patient has been ill,

the patient responds that she was well during her trip

and remains asymptomatic but is worried about an exposure.

So in this case, is testing recommended?

The current guidelines state

that diagnostic testing is not recommended

in asymptomatic non-pregnant individuals

such as the patient in this case.

One caveat that we need to consider is blood donors

and potentially organ and/or tissue donors.

On August 26 of this year, the US Food

and Drug Administration recommended

that all blood donated in the United States be screened

for Zika virus using a molecular test.

Currently there are several screening assays available,

which use nucleic acid amplification technology.

We definitely need more data to guide testing in this area,

especially in regards to screening organ donors

that have visited or reside in the Zika endemic region.

And our final case is of a 29-year-old female

who has laboratory-confirmed Zika virus infection during the

second trimester of her first pregnancy.

And following delivery of her child, a clinical exam

of the infant is performed which reveals no evidence

of any physical abnormalities.

So in this situation where we have an infant with no evidence

of disease but that infant is born to a mother

who had lab-confirmed Zika virus infection during pregnancy,

is specific testing for Zika virus in the infant recommended?

So the answer in this case is, yes,

lab testing would be recommended and it's recommended for infants

who are born to mothers with lab evidence of Zika infection.

But in addition, testing is also indicated for infants

with findings suggestive of congenital Zika who are born

to mothers with an epidemiologic link.

For example, did the mother travel to or live

in an endemic region for Zika virus during pregnancy?

So if those characteristics or features are met,

initial testing of the infant should include Zika PCR of serum

and urine, and as well, serology testing should be performed

on the serum sample collected

from the infant using an assay detecting IgM class antibodies

to Zika virus.

The table on this slide provides a summary

of how lab results should be used and interpreted

when evaluating a patient

for possible congenital Zika virus infection.

So in the very first scenario, we have an infant

with a positive PCR result on any sample type.

And then regardless of the serology findings,

if the PCR result is positive,

this patient would be interpreted as a case

of confirmed congenital Zika virus infection.

For those infants that test negative by PCR but are positive

for IgM class antibodies by serology,

they would be considered to have probable congenital infection.

Finally, newborns testing negative by both PCR

and IgM serology, as is going to be the case in the majority

of the patients that we see,

these individuals will be interpreted as negative

for congenital Zika virus infection.

So to summarize this portion of the presentation,

Zika virus poses a significant challenge to public health

and clinical diagnostic labs.

I'd reemphasize

that a coordinated effort involving healthcare providers,

clinical labs and public health will continue to be needed

to identify cases and control the outbreak.

And finally, one thing that is certain is that this is going

to continue to be an evolving process.

We continue to learn more about the virus with each passing day

and new data are going to continue to become available

that will guide our diagnostic algorithms.

So maintaining flexibility and focusing on good communication

between the provider at the bedside and the clinical lab

and then ultimately with our colleagues

in public health will be keys to success in the future.

So with that I'm going to pass the baton on to my colleague.

Dr. Grace Kubin.

who will provide you with some guidance and information

from the perspective of the public health lab.

Hi. Good afternoon everyone

or good morning wherever you may be located.

Thanks very much to my colleagues on this webinar

for giving such an excellent overview

and discussion about Zika testing.

I also would like to thank ASM and of course APHL

who I'm representing on the call today for the opportunity

to speak about this topic.

As Dr. Ottendorfer mentioned earlier this week we announced

in Texas that we are investigating a Zika case

that was probably caused by local transmission.

So needless to say my colleagues here at the health department

and everybody at the lab have been quite busy this week

as well as a lot of our individuals

out in the local health departments spent a good deal

of their Thanksgiving holiday dealing with this too.

So I want to thank our colleagues in Florida as well

as Dr. Ottendorfer for all her help and assistance and insights

as we're trying to work through all the issues that we've seen

with this most recent case.

So I just kind of wanted to talk a little bit about some

of the parallels that we saw with Zika and that we also kind

of saw in the Ebola response.

Ebola and Zika viruses were similar

in that not much is known about them.

Zika virus was first identified in the late 1940s

but was not really seen in humans until the early 1950s.

As you know, Ebola was not well-characterized.

I think it was seen quite a bit earlier but still,

not much was really known about it.

And of course the first documented large-scale outbreak

for Zika did not occur until 2007 which was on Yap Island.

I'm sure many of you who are having to be involved

in Zika response probably have heard quite a bit

about that outbreak.

And we also really didn't know much

about how the virus performs in the body

and other characteristics such as how long it might persist

in the body and in what type of fluid, cells, or tissues.

There was also a lot of confusion regarding testing

and shipment of specimens.

So initially, most commercial

and private labs did not perform either the Ebola or Zika tests

and providers were unfamiliar with how to get specimens

to the public health laboratories

who did do that testing.

With a typical infectious disease I'm sure most

of you are aware that usually the primary care providers are

the ones who are most involved.

But with both of these diseases we saw many different healthcare

providers involved in the response.

First responders, emergency department personnel,

and individuals that were working with patients

in isolation for the Ebola response.

And for Zika OB/GYNs, neonatal personnel, and to steal a term

from my Florida colleagues the baby catchers,

so those individuals who really are involved with pregnancy

and the - what happens after they,

you know, provide, give birth.

So let's talk a little bit about the actual testing.

So you heard already on this webinar that there are many -

there are several different types of tests

that have been approved by the FDA for EUA.

Public health laboratories have a lot

of different types of test offerings.

So some labs still perform what we call the PCR

Singleplex assay.

Of course many of the labs, public health labs,

perform the Trioplex assay.

And of course as Dr. Binnicker mentioned that's only allowed

for laboratories who are part

of the Laboratory Response Network and approved by CDC.

Some of the public health labs

or commercial labs perform both RT-PCR and serology,

of which for the serology some

of the labs might perform Zika only IgM

and some also may perform chikungunya as well dengue IgM.

And of course some labs will perform all three PCR,

serology, and PRNT.

Of course needless to say these testing menus can be

quite variable.

That's why I really encourage if you're looking for testing

to check the websites for each

of the public health laboratories whether it's

at the city, county, or state level and also

for the commercial laboratories and private labs.

And also you might want to familiarize yourself

with the tests that are EUA approved.

As mentioned detailed information

about those assays can be found

on the FDA medical device EUA website.

Okay so I'm probably going to sound a little bit

like a broken record

but individual websites are an excellent source for helping

to know how much specimen to collect, how it should be stored

if not sent right away, and under what type

of conditions it should be sent whether it be either cold

or frozen.

You know, really the type of testing, what type of specimens

that you are collecting and how you should ship them are really

critical to ensuring that we're able to perform the tests

that are needed for the patient.

In addition our laboratory

and many other labs are collecting additional

information beyond the symptoms and the symptom onset date.

This includes pregnancy status and at what point the patient is

in during her pregnancy when she is getting testing

or maybe has been exposed, the patient's travel history,

f course this is not necessarily an unfamiliar territory

as we had to do this with Ebola,

ut then we're also looking to have the travel history

of any sexual partners.

This information really is being used to determine at least

in our health department

as to what is the most appropriate testing

for the patient.

Our epidemiologists spend a large amount of time, you know,

having familiarized themselves with the algorithms and all

of this extra information that we're collecting

to really ensure that we in the lab are doing the tests

that are most appropriate for that patient.

In addition this information is also required if we end

up having to submit specimens to CDC for additional testing.

So as mentioned previously serum is

of course the preferred specimen type for RT-PCR.

But depending on which type of test is being performed

in the lab that you might be using or working

with either whole blood, urine, or CSF could be submitted.

But I will say that all three of these types

of specimens will require a paired serum.

So, you know, if you're going to be sending us the urine,

whole blood or CSF please also send a paired serum with that.

For this test, for RT-PCR a positive result is considered

conclusive so really no additional testing is required.

Under normal circumstances and what I kind of mean

by that is not in the middle

of a local transmission investigation

and of course taking into account the lab's capacity,

PCR results could possibly be available two to three days

from the time the specimen arrives in the laboratory.

And of course this is a conservative estimate

and it could be really a shorter

or longer time really depending upon the lab's capacity

and availability for testing.

So for serology specifically the MAC-ELISA serum

of course is the only specimen type.

The MAC-ELISA really is a multi-day test

and results may be available three to four days

after arrival in the lab.

Again that's kind of a conservative estimate based

on capacity of the lab.

And this test is of course used by most

of the public health laboratories and as mentioned,

you know, any positive or clinical results

for Zika IgM will require confirmation by the PRNT.

And of course depending upon

where the patient may have been infected we will usually perform

also dengue and chikungunya serology.

So for PRNT of course, you know, again,

serum is the preferred specimen.

And only CDC or CDC approved labs will perform this test.

Really the results of the PRNT must be interpreted

in the context of the serology results again

which probably should include either a dengue

or chikungunya IgM result depending upon

where the patient might have been infected.

This test really requires more time for completion

because the basis for interpretation is whether

or not neutralizing antibodies that are specific to Zika

or the other flaviviruses probably either West Nile

or dengue or chikungunya are present

and will basically inhibit virus growth.

This virus must have an opportunity to grow

so that means it's going to take a little bit of time

for the test to be completed.

This is of course a really gross simplification

of what the assay is but hopefully I was able to kind

of at least let you all know that this is some

of the reason why it can take quite some time

for the results to come back.

Of course there are other factors

that could delay the results.

We, in our lab, pretty much only ship

to CDC Monday through Thursday.

So if we get a result on Friday it's got to wait

until probably Monday for us to ship it out.

So that can delay a couple of days right there.

So and also it will depend upon, you know, what's going on at CDC

if they've had a large influx of requests for PRNT.

They've actually done an excellent job of being able

to prioritize these samples and getting them

out really quickly as fast as they can.

But, you know, don't be surprised

if it might take a couple of weeks for you

to get these particular test results back.

And so if you think about well I submitted my sample

at the beginning of November you may not see something

until closer to the end of November if we had to go

through during both PCR - all three, PCR serology and PRNT.

So keep in mind that that just adds a lot more time

onto the actual testing time.

So I'd also like to talk a little bit about some

of our partners that we've hooked up with not only

at the public health level but also

at the health department level.

And of course many of these when I talk

about public health labs I'm talking about state,

I'm talking about local maybe county health departments also

are intimately involved in a lot of this.

We've actually been pretty fortunate to have some

of our private labs contact us and let us know

that they've brought up RT-PCR testing capacity

and have offered to assist us with testing

if our lab becomes a little bit overwhelmed for testing.

We're actually pretty fortunate in Texas

because we have multiple CDC Laboratory Response

Network labs.

We have actually ten including ours.

And they all are doing some sort or form of Zika testing.

So we have some - we're pretty lucky

that we have some actual built in capacity.

And one thing that we did do this week

as we were receiving uro specimens uro survey specimens

in is we actually kind of divided it up some

of the specimen load and we were able to ship samples to some

of these other laboratories so that we could kind

of basically get the results back maybe a little bit faster.

In addition we've actually been in contact

with several commercial labs and they are working with a lot

of their public health laboratories in their states

and cities to be ready to provide surge capacity testing

in case there is something like what happened,

a large-scale investigation.

But what was very helpful about these laboratories

and I think Dr. Binnicker mentioned this

in his presentation is that, you know,

these labs can provide the ability to collect specimens

in maybe some of the lower population areas

where resources may be very limited for obtaining testing.

You know, we see a lot of these commercial labs they do have

basically draw stations in some of our smaller communities

so it really it is helpful to have them available to kind

of work with us and also be a surge capacity for us

in the event that we might need them.

And I guess we also have several military bases in the state

of Texas who have also implemented both Zika RT-PCR

and IgM testing.

And, you know, they stand of course ready to assist us

and provide surge capacity in case we might need it.

And of course, you know, CDC is the main provider

for PRNT in the states.

But they also have a separate lab that's been set up to help

with specifically with local transmission and investigations.

So I just want to spend a little bit of time last thing

on talking about the efforts related to education

and outreach for Zika virus and response activities associated

with cases that we've had.

We had a large media campaign,

and other states are doing this too,

where public service announcements maybe on radio

or TV maybe in multiple languages and have really tried

to use social media sites to really allow us

to reach a much broader audience.

Many health departments whether they're state or local

or county are working with local healthcare personnel.

Many of the epidemiologists in these health departments,

you know, they work for closely with providers

and they actually have a lot of interactions with them.

And of course at the state level one of the things

that we've tried to do is have meetings and webinars

with a variety of healthcare provider associations.

And some of those in our state

of course are Texas State Medical Association,

Pediatric Society that we have here,

also the OB/GYN Association that we have here

and our Texas Hospital Association.

We have developed really good relationships with all

of these different groups.

And we've had the opportunity to meet with them

on several occasions and also been invited to speak at some

of their regular meetings.

We also used WIC, which is the Women's Infants and Children,

sites for distribution of pamphlets

and posting education materials.

This has been very useful for us.

We've also had the opportunity,

our state Medicaid group has been really very good

about getting out information to providers

who are Medicaid providers.

And, you know, we do have several things

and I don't actually have this in my presentation

of lessons learned about what's been occurring this week.

You know, what we found is that our local health departments,

you know, their staff, their epidemiologists, you know,

they've been working these cases now for many months

in some cases almost a year.

And they really know how to interact with their providers.

They've been invaluable in ensuring

that if a provider has a question they're really kind

of Johnny on the spot with information about how

to collect, what to collect,

what types of forms should be filled out

and also some assistance

in how they should be shipping the specimens.

I think their ability to really interact

on a very intimate level with the providers has helped us

at the public health labs be really successful

in getting specimens here to us in a manner

by which we can test them.

And, you know, so I really want to say that, you know,

this has really been, this response and what's been going

on with Zika has really been an all-hands response.

laboratories, epidemiologists, all the different types

of providers and providers that we're really not used to working

with at the public health labs because they're not used

to sending us these types of clinical specimens

because they might use a private or commercial lab.

So I think all of these individuals working together has

really been and Dr. Binnicker mentioned this too a real -

it's a team effort to make sure

that we're getting the testing done.

I think as we move forward

in the long term one thing we will have to look at is,

you know, how will we be treating Zika in the future?

So I think with all of the testing

that we're doing the additional data that's being collected

that will help guide us in where we need to go with that.

So anyway I want to thank everybody

for joining the call today and thanks for your attention.

With that I'll turn it back over to Will Koehne.

Thank you.

Thank you presenters for providing our audience

with a wealth of information.

We're now going to open up the lines

for a question and answer session.

Questions are limited to clinicians who would

like information related to Zika virus testing and laboratories.

For those who have media questions please contact CDC

Media Relations at 404-639-3286

or send an email to media@cdc.gov.

If you are patient please refer your questions

to your healthcare provider.

When asking questions please state your organization

and also remember that you can submit questions

through the webinar system.

Operator if you'd like to open up the phone lines,

we have a few webinar questions that I'd like to go

through before we get to the phone Q&A.

But, the first one is from Mary Anderson.

She's asking, 'When submitting

for whole blood testing what is the preferred anticoagulant?"

And she is also asking for a specific tube collar.

Hi. This is Grace Kubin.

I'll be happy to answer that information.

So when you're submitting whole blood for the basically

for the Trioplex assay it is a purple top tube with EDTA.

All right thank you Grace.

We have another one from Southern Sumason asking,

"What is the appropriate time window

to test an infant with suspected Zika?"

So would - I know Matt Binnicker,

Dr. Binnicker presented on that.

Would you like to elaborate a little bit on that?

Yes. I believe it's within the first two days

of life is what's listed on the CDC website but I want

to make sure that Dr. Ottendorfer for confirms that.

I would concur with the two days.

There is some in the algorithm that if there's a possibility

that they could be screened at 18 months if,

to ensure the maternal antibodies have declined.

So there's a possibility they could be detecting maternal

antibodies and not the infant's and so they would need

to be screened at a later point.

And I'd refer back to the algorithm.

I would like to note here

that there's been a recent study that's been released

about microcephaly that wasn't, or brain abnormalities,

that weren't detected at birth

but they were detected six monrto a year

up to a year later.

And so as we learn more about this type of, you know,

new clinical manifestation I guess there may be updated

guidance on how to test infants going forward.

Thank you.

Operator do we want to -

can we take a question from the phone lines?

Thank you.

We'll now begin the question and answer session

at this time over the phone.

If you would like to ask a question please press Star 1,

unmute your phone and record your name clearly.

When you ask your question please announce

your organization.

Your name is required to introduce your question.

If you need to withdraw that question press Star 2.

Again to ask a question please press Star 1.

The first question comes from Frederick Walters.

Your line is open sir.

So hi. I had a question in regards

to the CC MAC-ELISA test.

Have you guys seen any trends with inconclusive results

because we have certain samples that the result is inconclusive.

And we'll re-collect two to four weeks later

that it will come back inconclusive again.

Have you guys seen anything like that?

So from CDC we're actually in the Emergency Operations Center.

I would defer that question for a follow-up

with our actual laboratory teams either

in Fort Collins or here in Atlanta.

We are looking at the test results to see sort

of the person at the do confirm and we'll be happy to share

that information with you if we have your contact information.

And this is Will Koehne, William Koehne with CDC as well.

If you'd like to if there's any questions that we're unable

to answer on the call today or that we're unable to get

to please feel free to send them

to coca@cdc.gov that's C-O-C-A@cdc.G-O-V

and we'll forward that on to the correct parties

and get you an answer.

Okay thank you.

Are any other speakers or would you

like to address that question?

Okay operator are there any other questions

on the phone line?

There are.

The next question comes from I believe it was Ana Disamuels.

Your line is open.

Hi. Good afternoon.

We're logging in from Johns Hopkins Pediatrics.

Our question is regarding negative testing

in an infant whose mother had confirmed Zika virus

during pregnancy.

The infant in this case would have -

does have abnormalities consistent

with congenital Zika syndrome without any other explanations.

However the testing both PCR and serologies are negative.

Our concern is that if the infection

in the mother occurred during the first trimester

that negative serologies may not exclude congenital infection.

Are there any other thoughts about the interpretation

of negative serology in this type of situation?

That is an excellent question.

And we may defer this to our pregnancy

and birth defects groups that handles more

of the trimester and, you know, those results

and how you should interpret these assays.

Like we've mentioned the timing is critical

when those specimens are collected.

I'm not sure how old the infant was upon -

has it had follow-up testing

or it was just tested at the two day point?

Just at the newborn time period.

However the serologies were repeated

as they were initially inconclusive

so repeat sampling was sent from the serum again.

That ended up being negative.

I think this is something

that for this particular case we might try to get you in contact

with our pregnancy and birth defects team to try

to help you understand if there is another potential cause

or how to follow up with this patient.

Thank you.

The next question on the phone line comes from Dr. Hudson.

Your line is open sir.

Thank you.

This is Warner Hudson from UCLA.

I'm in charge of occupation employee health here

for the health system on campus.

We have a lot of travelers coming back from Zika areas,

researchers in Zika area,

and live Zika research work in our labs.

And most of the UC-wide Doc Med medical writers have been

working on developing post-exposure protocols

for the labs.

And of course we're doing testing for the travelers

that come back with questions or symptoms.

And at UCLA we're using the Viracore test

but the PCR tests and the IgM tests.

Does CDC have a plan

to put together post-exposure guidelines for lab workers,

even blood-borne exposures

to viremic Zika patients in the works?

Thanks. That is another excellent question.

I know that this guidance

that was released predominantly focuses

on symptomatic individuals as well as, you know,

pregnant women that, you know, those that are highest risk for,

you know, complications from Zika infection for the infants.

So I'm not sure if there is guidance planned for, you know,

more of the occupational exposure risks that may occur

in otherwise, you know, healthy adults

but we will certainly take that into consideration

and bring it back to the leadership as a request.

Alright thank you.

So we have a question from the Webinar system

that I'd like to ask quick.

We have - the question is we have encountered several mothers

with history who travel to Zika endemic areas longer

than 12 weeks ago.

Testing has been negative.

Newborns are healthy at birth.

What - they're asking what role of IgG

to document earlier exposure to the virus?

What is the role of IgG

to document earlier exposure to the virus?

So I guess I'll take this one too.

As far as IgG we don't have a specific assay for IgG,

the plaque reduction neutralization test

for once the neutralizing antibodies develop

which in my slide I didn't show that part of the course

of illness or your, you know, your antibody response.

But at some point in that window IgG begins

to rise longer than 12 weeks.

And so if you were to have

that sample tested it would probably be tested

in plaque reduction neutralization

and it could be possible

to detect a infection in that sample.

But I would defer to Grace or anyone else

that has more experience

with samples collected after 12 weeks.

Hi. This is Grace Kubin.

We don't we haven't really typically tested

or have been sent very many samples after 12 weeks.

I do know a few labs that have but they don't -

some have seen a positive and some haven't so, you know,

it's basically just a byproduct

of how good a person's immune system is.

Right and I would agree.

I mean if we're testing the infant here you'll have maternal

antibodies until about 18 months so it could be confounded

by the mother's antibodies or IgG at that point.

So you would want to retest if you have either clinical

or epidemiological criteria for this infant at 18 months.

All right thank you presenters.

I think that's all the time that we have for questions today.

And on behalf of COCA we would like to thank everyone
