Halfway through listening to it - excellent so far and I'm sure will be all the way through. She makes an excellent point that ME/CFS is a public health emergency but isn't recognised as such because it hasn't appeared in a sudden manner to the public view, unlike zika.

Guiding the lifeboats to safer waters.
I thought this was an excellent speech by Carol, I would encourage everyone to listen to it in order to hear how committed she is to advancing the ME cause. Her talk was essentially how CFSAC might work more efficiently, below are the slides that she used.
