Italicized remarks represent individual interviews with a guest.
ANITA ZAIDI: Hi, Samba. Hi, Folake. It’s so good to see you.
KEITH KLUGMAN: How nice to see you.
DR. SAMBA SOW: How are you? Nice to see you, too.
ANITA ZAIDI: One of the lessons in the pandemic for us at the Foundation has been understanding what’s happening on the ground and being close to our partners.
KEITH KLUGMAN: We’re really privileged today to have two guests who are really knowledgeable, not only about the virus, but also the situation on the ground in Africa. And it’s my hope that through this informal dinner, we’re going to get more insight into what has been going on in those parts of the world where we really haven’t had insight so far.
DR. FOLAKE OLAYINKA: The places that are likely to have variants or spikes in cases are also the same places where the systems to deal with them are also very weak
DR. SAMBA SOW: This starts with communities. It doesn’t start in front of a computer, sitting here in Seattle, or sitting in Geneva. You have to be inside the community.
KEITH KLUGMAN: And look what I have brought us for lunch today. It’s a South African dish that is called bobotie. The bobotie is mincemeat, and then has chutney in it, which is kind of sweet.
ANITA ZAIDI: That sounds amazing.
DR. SAMBA SOW: Looks good.
