"Ms. Ngubane (N-gu-Ba-nay) died on June 4 at age 24, but her voice had already been heard by millions of radio listeners around the world.

Our Hope is in research and that research need is dire before the virus mutates or becomes attached to TB and becomes airborne.

If that happens...

We have to stop that from happening there is no choice.
