we have our dallas county sheriff's department and dallas president police department teams on the ground now. and they have been there since last night. we are working to locate the individual and get him to a comfortable, compassionate place where we can monitor him and care for his every need during the full monitoring period. i want to stress to you this person is not committed -- has not committed a crime. they are a low-risk individual, and i emphasize low-risk individual and we are doing this as a precautionary measure. again, i want to thank everyone. the staff of homeland security and emergency management and dallas county health and human services epi team as well as my executive staff for all of the their hours and hours of work on very little sleep. oh, and the individual was seen yesterday. the low risk individual i just spoke of was seen yesterday, was monitored and is an asymptomatic, low-expose arew individual so remember what we talked about for those of you who are not medical reporters, asymptomatic people have zero -- you have zero chance of contracting the ebola virus

came back to dallas monday night. health officials said she headed to cleveland to visit her family. here's what's key. the director of the cdc says given her previous exposure to duncan at that dallas hospital, vincent had no business being on that commercial airplane. >> because at that point she was in a group of individuals known to have exposure to ebola, she should not have traveled on a commercial airline. the cdc guidance in this setting outlines the need for what's called controlled movement much that can include a chartered plane, can include a car but it does not include public transport. >> all right. we'll talk about that travel question surrounding the travel people who were on board that plane, people who she came into contact with in cleveland. all these developments beg multiple questions. one, how can we trust that people who have ebola symptoms are not flying. according to the cdc more than 94% of travellers entering the united states from western africa countries impacted by ebola travel through th

yasmin, you're in dallas. one of the headlines in the news conference seems to me to be they're now dealing with this family with compassion. they got them out of that apartment where they had been trapped really, under armed guard in quarantine right now with soiled linens where this ebola patient had been. they got them out of there and into the house and sent the ment message that they cared. why is that an important message. >> i think it is important, people are reaching out to the people, the gentleman suffering with ebola. it is also important in stopping the fears with the transmission of ebola. we are getting the key reminder that it can only be transmitted with infected fluids. the workers said we were not afraid, took them in an undisclosed location in the car with them. >> that jumped out at me. the mayor met this house, the family, the judge who is running the homeland security response, the response in the county, they actually took them in the car to the area. made a point of saying he was in th

dallas county judge clay jenkins is the top administrative official in dallas county. he's been leading the county's response on the ground. judge jenkins, you might remember from earlier this summer when he announced dallas county would take responsibility for housing kids from central america who crossed the border into texas in such huge numbers this summer. >> the politics of this is that there are no politics of this. this is about children. it need not be partisan. it need not be political. it need not be shrill and hateful. these are not others. these are children. >> judge jenkins made that case over and over the summer that we had a moral obligation. dallas county had a moral obligation to house those kids coming across the border and have nobody to take care of them. now that his county is the first in the nation to deal with this new problem, he's handling it in exactly the way you'd think. he's handling it with unapologetic compassion, specifically concerning the way dallas county is treating not just this first patient thomas eric duncan but his relatives

she was helping the ebola patient in dallas. dr. amish edalga, infectious disease dork, is back with us to speak about-- disease doctor is back with us. >> thanks for having me. >> it seems that communication is actually as important as treating patients, is that true? >> definitely. this is a virus that is uforgiving. we can't -- is not forgiving. it seems to be slichg away from us a little bit with these missteps that have occurred. >> what struck you first of all about what you heard about the cdc saying on the one hand the nurse earlier today, the head of the cdc said, the nurse shouldn't have gotten on a plane and come back from cleveland and then said, the cdc tonight is confirming to al jazeera america, that the cdc actually told her to get back on the plane. >> it doesn't make sense to me. if this patient was under self-monitoring because she had been in contact with an ebola patient and measuring her temperature those people usually have permission to travel and they are not supposed to necessarily travel on commercial flig

these are live pictures coming in from dallas. this is the hospital there where nina pham is about to be transferred. she's going to be leaving that hospital, flying in an air ambulance as it's called from dallas to frederick, maryland, just not far away from bethesda, maryland, outside washington, d.c. where she will be treated at the national institutes of health. we'll have live pictures of all of this throughout this hour. i want to continue the discussion right now. let's bring in our chief medical correspondent once again, our own dr. sanjay gupta, along with an emergency room nurse practitioner. she's here with me in "the situation room." erin, thank you very much for joining us. you just heard roseanne, she feels very strong that the nurses are not being well protected. do you agree with her? >> i do. there's really been a lack of a centralized coordinated response to this. for example, my hospital, they sent out a video of how to don this protective equipment, but it happened in this situation in dallas much later. some h

i would like to ask about the situation in suburban dallas. the patient does not have definite contact with e bella or definite symptoms. does this person have possible contact and is this person among those you are tracking adready and is cdc involved in this case? >> since it's an emergency situation i would have to refer you to dallas. often in situations like this information may change from minute-to-minute, but i would just reiterate what i said earlier. we don't have a concern for symptoms consistent with ebola or for definite contact as far as everything that i have learned up to a few minutes ago. >> thank you. next question on the phone. >> the next question is from leonor from telemundo network. >> hi. my question is more regarding air will travel and the new procedures for the five different airports. is there a special procedure or any guidance given to the airlines when thinking about cleaning an aircraft that has just arrived from west africa? is that a necessary precaution to take and if so, can you explain what the airline sho

unfortunately what is going on in dallas and now the cdc is pushing a lot of resources into dallas is very similar to the united states response to the problem going on in west africa. it makes us feel we're playing catch up. this is one of the reasons. the only way we can change the perception. even our actions have been very well received and spot on. we need to make it feel like we're ahead of this and this is one of the ways we're going to be talking everyone. we're going more strict about where people go and what they do and who we test and we're going to do probably do more testing than we need to do. >> thank you so much for your time. when we return we go back to mark potter outside the hospital in texas for more information on the breaking development. we just received it within the hour. we be right back. creates something else as well: jobs all over america. engineering and innovation jobs. advanced safety systems & technology. shipping and manufacturing. across the united states, bp supports more than a quarter million jobs. when we set up operation in one part of the coun

were dealing with in dallas. we had the advantage of learning from the dallas experience. >> new york governor, andrew cuomo, speaking at bellevue hospital talking about the new york city and state in response to this breaking news that a doctor just back from west africa has tested positive for the ebola virus. comparing the new york response to what happened in dallas, where the very first patient to be diagnosed, thomas eric duncan, he was treated. sadly, that treatment in dallas was not successful. he died earlier this month in dallas. that is the facility that took him in and treated him after first missing the diagnosis the first time he came to the emergency room. he is the very first ebola patient to have been diagnosed with the disease in the u.s. and the only person to have been either diagnosed here or treated here who also died here. two nurses who treated him contracted the disease while being treated. the first was initially treated at that hospital and later moved to be treated at the national inst

presbyterian hospital in dallas. and now joining us by phone is dr. fauci, and what is the public to make of the second ebola case, and as i understand it, the first case of ebola being contracted, contacted within the united states? >> well, i think that it is important to point out that it is very unfortunate that this individual was infected while ca caring to the for an ebola patient. it clearly had to be a breach of the protocol when one goes in and takes care of the patient with the personal protective equipment that is part of the cdc protocol. apparently, the person did use ppes or the personal protective equipment, but there with was a breach in the protocol which is unfortunate por the courageous person taking care of the ebola patients, but it need s s to bet into context that when you are talking about the relationship to the outbreak, you can't make an extrapolation that this is now danger more so to the american people, because you note that the contacts that were traced are now being monitor and where

first from dallas to cleveland, to visit her mother, then back to dallas. according to health officials, vinson had a slight fever before boarding a flight monday. in a telephone briefing today, cdc said vinson should have never stepped foot on a plane. >> she was in a group of individuals known to have exposure to ebola. she should not have traveled on a commercial airline. >> reporter: vinson reported symptoms the day after her october 13th flight to dallas. the cdc says the risk to the other 132 passengers on board is low. >> we are going and will always put in extra margins of safety, and therefore, will be reaching out to all the passengers and crew of that flight. >> reporter: front tier airlines says they responded immediately correspondent notification of the cdc by removing the aircraft from service. the airline says the plane was cleaned the night it landed and again today, but it is still in use. >> frontier airlines aircraft has been decontaminated twice at a remote location on the airport. there will be a scheduled flight to denver using that a

casey stiegel live in dallas. casey, thank you. heather: coming up we'll have a legal segment on the issue. how liable is the hospital there? >>> doctors say a patient in kansas does not have the ebola virus that came in on monday. he came into the university of kansas hospital with ebola-like symptoms. he worked as a medic on a ship off coast of africa. they think they came down with some other tropical illness like typhoid. doctors say they are satisfied with the measures in place so far. >> it is kind of a little bit scary. the thing that is so gratifying today is that after now in our second 24 hours with the patient, it is, the staff are calm. the procedures and all the infection control measures that we bit into place are just settling into a, a new routine in many regards. >> that patient will also stay isolated until the cdc tests completely clear him. we will keep you posted on that, jon. jon: turning now to the war against isis, the president holding a conference call at this hour with several foreign leaders to discuss t

which is what it is doing in dallas. however, criticism is mounting from those like the nurses union who say much more care should have been taken ahead of time. i want to discuss so many of these aspects with our chief medical correspondent dr. sanjay gupta. also joining us, senior medical correspondent elizabeth cohen. i think we should begin with the second health care worker for folks just waking up to learn this news about the second nurse testing positive for ebola among the people that cared for thomas eric duncan. how did this all happen? what was the chain of events they found out she was sick? did she present and say "okay, guys, things are serious now"? >> they haven't explained to us whether she took her own temperature and saw it was elevate word will it was during one of these visits that she and her colleagues have been getting from health officials that they took the temperature and figured it out. the bottom line is they caught it very early on and that's really crucial so there was very little time for

man who died from ebola in dallas. even the chief of epidemiologist in dallas is being monitored of possible exposure. a federal official says the centers for disease control will soon issue new protective equipment guidelines to help keep health care workers safe. all of this as president obama finally names an ebola czar. he will be charged with coordinating the entire federal response. our correspondents, our analysts and newsmakers are all standing by. let's begin with the move to quarantine a dallas hospital worker, one of thousands of passengers aboard a cruise ship. renee? >> reporter: wolf, this is a seven-day cruise and someone on board is being monitored for the deadly ebola virus. it's enough to raise concern, but experts say the risk is low. meantime, there's an exhaustive mission under way to find everyone who had contact with ebola patient amber vinson after she flew from dallas to cleveland. tonight, the cdc is working to track 16 people who were near or had contact with amber vinson when she was in nort

vinson took frontier airline flights and first from dallas to cleveland and back it to dallas. in a telephone briefing today, cdc director tom frieden said she never should have stepped foot on a plane. >> although she did not report any symptoms and she did not meet the fever threshold of 100.4, she did report at that time that she took her temperature and found it to be 99.5. so by both of those criteria, she should not have been on that plane. >> vinson developed symptoms the day after her october 13th flight to dallas, raising the question were any of the other 132 passengers at risk? >> we are going and will always put in extra margins of safety and therefore i will be reaching out to all of the passengers and crew of that flight. >> in a statement to cnn frontier airlines says they responded immediately upon notification from the cdc by removing the aircraft from service. the airline says the plane was cleaned the night it landed and again today, but it is still in use. >> the frontier airline aircraft was decontaminated twice at a remote location of the airport and that

again, one flight from dallas to cleveland. on october 10th a nother flight from cleveland back to dallas on october 13th. 800 people who were on those flights as well as flights that the latter plane from cleveland to dallas took. for several days before that plane was taken out of commission. total of #800 people are being contacted. health commissioner in ohio and officials are saying, don those people have ape very lope chance of, even getting symptoms of yoeb. but just have to be careful and contact everyone on the flights. >> man tor monitoring them as w. we are hearing from the doctor that treated all three dallas yo yoi ebola patients. >> an affiliate spoke with the doctor about thomas eric duncan. they talked about everything, even how duncan died. he described the death as very, very quick. a quote. also, saying thalt it was a period of minutes. he lost his pulse and was dead. the reporter for wfaa asked the doctor about the care duncan received specifically about claims that duncan perhaps didn't get the best care be

of dallas are safe. the good news is we have not had more cases. we are still very cautious to make sure we can continue to care for individuals, monitor the situation it needs to be done. our focus is to monitor every -- our and to identify priority is to keep tracking those individuals. ofwant to make sure we arm closely monitoring then. making sure food issues are identified or if electricity was turned off during the storm, that those issues are resolved. neighbors have had a concerns and we have tried to have health educators address those issues in the community. our focus is to make sure you are informed and understand how the public health system works. it works to prevent and contain these risks. of people are listening right now. i want to reemphasize ebola is not sporting by the -- not spread through the air. there are hospitals across the state of texas and the nation. they are on the lookout for any additional cases. we want him to be on high alert and identify additional debt identify indiv

richard besser, who is live in dallas tonight. and rich, you're learning that she might have shown symptoms before we even knew about it? >> reporter: that's right, david. the cdc just told me that as part of their investigation, they learned that amber vinson was already feeling unwell on friday, before she headed up to cleveland. so, they're going to expand their investigation and track down every passenger who was on the plane going up there. just also part of an abundance of caution. >> that's going to widen this circle, rich, because we know she went to that bridal shop and other stops along the way, after showing symptoms, as you're reporting here tonight. and rich, i wanted to ask you about something else the cdc told me there, the experimental treatment being given to those two nurses. we had not heard about that yet. >> reporter: that's right. this is big news. we hadn't heard about experimental drugs in these two nurses. but you know, we've talked about it. all you can really do for an ebola patient is provide fluid and

austin going to pick up something after dallas. no, jon, no. austin sets the trends, dallas finds out about them five years later. [ cheering and applause ] >> jon: there's no way ebola makes it? >> doesn't need to. austin already brewing its own locally stored, organic, cage free -- >> jon: what's that? what's wrong? >> what do you think wrong i got the ebola. >> jon: are you sure? >> what else could it be? ever since i got to austin i've had nash a, fever, sweating, profusely, intestines feel like the inside volcano. >> jon: calm down, jordan. retrace your steps. since you got to austin where have you been? >> right before the show was eating brisket at a food truck. before that had this amazing pulled pork also from a truck. this morning was breaks ribs from the trunk. and last night at the airport when i stepped off the plane they adorned me with this barbecue lai. >> jon: jordan, i think i know what is wrong. i don't think you have ebola i think you have the meat sweats. or maybe -- >> maybe i'm not eating enough meat. >> jon: no, jordan,

dallas apartment. we cannot confirm that separately but that's what they're reporting down here. i've got ahead of that the republican authority with steve scalise who's been patiently watchi watching and monitoring all of this. as you heard, no travel restrictions per se right now. is that okay with you? >> neil, the one thing we know now is the original protocols did not work. we relied on the honor system and that clearly didn't work. so they are putting new protocols in place. >> are these protocols enough? they account for about 90ch passenger traffic that makes its way to this country. >> you know, we've been asking a number of questions over the past few week, in fact, the house energy and commerce committee which i serve on today sent recently some questions to the administration to ask about these processes. just not only what they're doing from the cdc side but also our military. president obama said he's sending troops over to west africa to be involved in some kind of process of the distrib

let's go to dallas right now. the judge there, clay jenkins, the dallas county judge saying this has been a gut check for the public. describe this gut check, the mood taking place in dallas right now. >> i think the public authority here, judge clay jenkins and the mayor, their priority right now is to really calm these fears that are swirling in the public. you heard the mayor say that dallas is not fearful, but that it is anxious. i beg to differ, speaking with people on the streets. everyone from convenience store clerks to mothers walking down the sidewalk have told me ether very concerned about what's happening, and that was before even this case of the second health care worker broke, which came in late yesterday morning, or this morning, rather. we heard again that this person's test results were confirmed as positive for ebola at 1:00 this morning. the news went out around 4:00. since then, city officials have been knocking on doors for every person who lived in this apartment complex shared by the second

what are they doing differently that hasn't happened in dallas? >> i don't know that they're doing anything differently as much as they've just been trained really well. they've done the training, the dils over and over again. we know that when it comes to the protective equipment, i don't know if you've seen some of the images there, but the protective equipment they've used to protect the health care workers goes above and beyond what we saw the protocols were from the cdc, and it sounds like it was used in dallas. that's part of it in terms of the confidence. it makes a big difference. keep in mind, ana, there's no magic potion or some cutting edge treatment offered at emery that is not offered in dallas. experimental medications can be given in dallas and was given to mr. duncan, a blood transfusion from a survival of ex-bowl la can be given here as well as dallas and was. it's more the training and confidence. >> it has been suggested by other doctors on our air that perhaps instead of self-monitoring to try to stop the spread of this deadly

even within dallas, we were told repeatedly that cdc was on the case, they were there in dallas, that hospital was doing the right thing. now we learn that they acknowledge they were late to get there and that the procedures clearly failed. now, you still have not been told you all covering it in dallas where the breach was, but clearly, according to at least the nurses who were overnight on that conference call organized by a labor of organizations representing nurses. there were serious breaches from people who went in and out of containment in the care of mr. duncan. >> absolutely. and that's what's -- representing or speaking with nurses purportedly from here, anonymously, that the guard they wore originally were not complete, their necks were exposed. mr. duncan sat outside the isolation room for quite some time, that nurses went in and out of the area without decontaminating. questions were asked of the doctor today about that. and he did not have a comment. so that's -- that's how the day began. it wasn't great. and now this. just completely taken into it a new level of concern

why couldn't they do it in dallas. and itch yf you are asking the question you, are asking the right question. this isn't challenging. in terms of what need to be done. it spreads through bodily fluids. if they get on your skin. you have breaks in your skin. a source of infection. so cover your skin. hate to sound simplistic. that sounds basic. and then, you, we know the protocols at the, that the ebola, protocols from the cdc there in dallas did not always allow the skin to be covered. sean made some really good points. and genetic research. trace the origins of this strain of ebola. and the zaire strain. back to a single infection last december. what have you learned about it. how concerned are you about the ability of this virus, to, to, to transmit. that this is, who, the world health organization. they're warning of 10,000 new cases a week. currently 1,000 case is a week. 10,000 cases a week by this december. if things continue down this path. >> absolutely. anderson. that's a major concern. a concern for a long t

brian. >> kate snow starting us off from dallas tonight. kate, thanks. >>> and as we mentioned the second nurse to contract ebola was on a commercial flight halfway across the country the night before she reported her symptoms to the hospital. but she apparently flew while she had a fever. now the cdc says it's moving to restrict health care workers who care for ebola patients from taking public transportation. nbc's tom costello covering that end of the story for us. he's at reagan national airport in washington. >> reporter: brian, the fact that the second nurse knew she had a low-grade fever before boarding the flight has a lot of people concerned and questioning whether it's time for more travel restrictions, even for domestic flights. on the ground in cleveland today after two thorough cleanings, the frontier airlines plane that carried nurse amber vincent from cleveland to dallas monday night, that same plane went through a routine cleaning that night before returning to cleveland the next day and flying routes to fort ladder dale and

breaking news tonight from dallas. within hours, the first nurse diagnosed with ebola will leave dallas and arrive at a special biocontainment unit at an nih facility in bethesda, maryland. in the span of two days, texas presbyterian sending both infected nurses to facilities specifically equipped to handle ebola. they're just four such facilities in the united states. the responses of the hospital in dallas and the cdc under the microscope today. 22 members of congress leaving the campaign trail to attend the first hearing on ebola, where they grilled officials. and this morning, startling allegations from a nurse at texas presbyterian who told the "today" show that they were unprepared for ebola. late today, president obama issues an executive order so he can deploy the u.s. national guard and reserves to liberia. joining me now from the hospital in dallas is nbc's craig melvin. craig, thanks for being here. >> thanks for having me, reverend al. >> let me ask you, what preparations are under way to get the nurse on t

developments in dallas ebola case. let's take a listen. >> they can be left alone for a few days at least in that undisclosed location and the hope is people that live around the apartment complex that they were in, that their lives can get back to normal. i want to thank the owner of the apartment complex for their understanding in this. the vickery meadows neighborhood association, jennifer staubach gates, went door to door, our health department, everybody who worked on this. our friends in the faith community who made the move that we were able to do today possible. as well as our state and our federal partners. an update on the house is the contractors are inside, they finalized phase one probably by now or in the next few minutes, they'll finish up their work tonight and security building. dr. laky and the state are working on a court order to keep the -- for the apartment to keep it secure and quarantine until we can begin phase two. federal materials will be moved to an undisclosed secure area by the dallas cou

you should not be worried about traveling to dallas. anyone potentially exposed has been identified and is under observation at this point in time. >> okay. >> and so the virus will be contained in that hospital room within that ward and should not get outside of that hospital whatsoever. >> if it's been reported by many health officials that ebola has mutated. so many times, something like 40 times over a period of time, how do we know would it mutate and become air borne or perhaps change its impact on a person's body, meaning the symptoms would differ or evolve into something else, making it more difficult to spot, identify in other words. >> whether you are asking is would there be a big mutation? we see small mutations all the time. influenza virus mutates every year but it still is influenza virus. it still behaves the same way even though our immune systems don't recognize it as well as the previous season. these musicians mutations in ebola are very small mutations. it might be variable enough the immune system doesn't recognize

when i say local, i don't mean dallas. i mean a very specific neighborhood in the northeast part of dallas. as clay said, jennifer gates has been out there almost nonstop with the neighborhood talking to people and communicating with them. the second thing we have done is we have had reverse 911 calls to all of the residents. we've talked to them. we've explained to them what's happened. and we've given them the option to call us back. as i've said before, if citizens have any questions, they need to call 311. we will be able to give them a full explanation of what's happening and answer any questions that are challenging. if they feel sick, they need to call 911. and we will make sure that they get the first rate paramedics that worked on this at the very beginning and that sort of delivery system and we will take care of them from a health standpoint. we want to make sure that we handout all of the same materials that were handed out at the schools. we have gone door to door to make sure all of the people have so we're g

you live in dallas so you tell me. when we hear about schools closed because kids were on the same plane or on that flight of amber vinson's coming back from cleveland, we know they were close. do you think that's necessary? does that feed into the hysteria? >> i think that it's better to be safe than sorry. if it means closing schools down for a few days just to make sure no one else was exposed, certainly that's the right thing to do. >> appreciate it, sir, very much for coming on. coming up next, we'll talk to the man who served as special assistant to president george w. bush on biodefense. what does he think here? how should the federal government balance informing the public without creating this panic and hysteria and has the cdc done a good job with that and a doctor tells cnn people are "scared" to go to this dallas hospital. what about other nurses, especially those that treated duncan? we're now getting a new response from that hospital. we'll share that with you coming up on cnn. sweered lobster'sory! endle

on friday she flew from dallas to cleft. on monday she flew from cleveland to dallas. both planes full of passengers. now officials trying to contact everyone on the planes. and they still don't know how the two infected nurses got ebola in the first place. frightening when 74 other people helped thomas eric duncan. and more are expected to be infected. >> texas health presbyterian is a fixture in the community, but inside of the hospital, it is a dire seen. the hospital has 900 beds and only 300 are filled. a cdc doctor inside of the hospital this week, people are scared to go there. they are having a rough time. i hope they make it through this. this comes as one of the hospital own nurses is criticizing the wear health care workers were prepared to treat ebola patient thomas eric duncan. >> there was no special pro -- precautions other than what we know in the medical industry to be basic contact precautions and contact. there was no special gear. we were unprepared in the sense that we did not know what to do with his lab specimens. they were mishandled and that is

the dallas cowboys play in dallas. >> right. >> all season long. and jason garrett, the head coach there was asked, have you talked to your team about it? he said he hadn't. but the team trainers did. the athletic trainers and some of the team doctors, medical staff, did have a verbal briefing with the team at the beginning of this week to say, here's what you do? and make sure that line of communication is over. staph infections have been a much bigger concern in the nfl. >> reality check. >> some players nearly lose their legs in the last couple of years. serious things go through locker rooms. it's something smart to know about. it's a topic of conversation and they want players to be smart and don't want them to panic unnecessarily. no need for that. >> awareness and precaution, precaution, precaution. rachel nichols "unguarded" 10:30 a.m. you have interviews with lebron james about his return to cleveland and serena williams. >> good show. >> thank you very much. >> see you tonight. >>> coming up next, this might have happened to you, your cre

in dallas. >> ed, i think it's curious, a lot of people are wondering if a health care worker has been contracted with this virus, what do we know about the condition of thomas duncan's fiancee and the kids that were close to him? do we know anything about their condition at this hour? >> we may have to wait on that. we've got judge clay jenkins speaking now. >> good morning. we're here today to communicate about a health care worker who has contracted the ebola virus. that health care worker is a heroic person who provided care to mr. duncan. i met with that health care worker's parents and the health care worker and their parents have asked that their privacy be respected and their name not be released at this time. i expect with the activities that happen today, information will come to light, but let's remember as we do our work that this is a real person who is going through a great ordeal and so is that person's family. let's be as respectful as we can possibly be. we expected that somethi

>> reporter: what do they need to know from here in dallas? >> reporter: well, what you need to know is that although ebola is a terrible, scary, and deadly disease, the only people that can get ebola are people who touch the body fluids of the symptomatic ebola victim. >> reporter: but concern is growing. >> no one's going to take the risk of being exposed like that. >> reporter: people all over are taking extra precautions. >> i just bought clorox wipes for my kids. >> people are checking their temperatures and seeing if there's any spike. it's only fair that people should take a lot more precaution. >> reporter: now, many of the school and city leaders i talk to here in dallas say those extra precautions, they're not medically necessary, but it is to put the public at ease, to give them some peace of mind. back to you. >> kristen, you've been there since wednesday talking to people on the ground in dallas. do people have that peace of mind? >> reporter: it really depends on who you talk to. there are some people who say they're not concerne

he ended up in dallas. those teams in dallas said that they were clearly ready when, several nurses from dallas told us, that was not true. dr. garza, let's talk about protocol. look at the ambulance. awaiting nina pham to get off the plane. there are reports, in spain, a patient is under on ser vaebser because they rode in an ambulance that carried an ebola patient. an ambulance that had not been decontaminated. if true, what would it moon how the virus is being transported. >> it depend a lot on the environment of the ambulance. clearly if the patient was transported in the ambulance, had left behind bodily fluid. the flew is was left on the surface. and a patient came in contact with it. then, that could be the mode of transmission right there. you would assume that, that that, ambulance would have been thoroughly decontaminated before anybody else would have gotten into it though. so it is a little built surpr-- surprising that did not happen. we are looking at the pictures. takes them a little while fo

this morning, the ebola patient in dallas going through experimental treatment. a new ebola case discovered in spain that has officials puzzled. what the government may do to contain the virus and fear of the american people. >>> terror in the homeland. an american teen charged with trying to join isis. the details of the plan revealed. also, intense fighting gripping the streets of syria as isis continues its push for control over a key city. what's at stake in the major land grab. we're live. >>> the supreme court makes an unexpected decision by choosing not to weigh in on same-sex marriage cases. this could clear the path for couples to marry across the nation. >>> good morning. welcome to "early start." i'm john berman. >> i'm christine romans. >> great to have you back this morning. >> thank you. >> a ray of hope this morning for the first person diagnosed with ebola in the united states. while in spain, a nurse who treated an ebola victim and in the room with that patient just twice has tested positive for ebola. she is listed in stable condition. back here

rene marsh is here with me and martin savidge is in dallas. what are you hearing about the possibility of restrictions of flights to west africa. >> they are all saying at this point there is no indication, no plan to tell airlines to stop flying to this region. and you know, when you talk to a lot of these experts, they believe stopping or putting these restrictions on these airlines in place could do more harm than good. we did speak to brussels airlines, one of the three carriers this man was flying from liberia to brussels. and their reason, they say that it's their humanitarian duty to continue to fly there. they've got to get medicine there, health care workers there. if you clamp down on these airlines, the concern is how do you get the necessary supplies there. at this point, no indication that they will stop the flights. >> martin savidge is in dallas. martin, the dallas county health and human services director certainly understandably trying to combat fears about this one confirmed case of ebola diagnosed in the united states near t

from dallas. anderson, thank you very much. let's dig deeper with the centers for disease control and prevention, dr. thomas frieden. thanks very much for joining us. i know you have a lot going on right now. let's start with nina pham. she says she's doing well. she received a blood transfusion from dr. kent brantly who survived ebola, as you know. is that the most promising treatment right now, to get these blood transfusions, maybe to get some antibodies working in there? >> well, we don't know what's going to work in terms of different experimental treatments. our focus now is making sure that we do everything possible to have her care be both safe ee effective. safe, making sure that people caring for her don't themselves get exposed and effective, there's a lot that can be done with someone with ebola that is not experimental. there's a lot of fluid management and balancing and monitoring their health. >> what about the experimental drug that's been out there? is she going to be getting that drug as well? >> you'd really

at the epicenter of the growing concerns in dallas. we begin with chris cato in dallas. a new report out this morning that amber vinson may have been sick earlier than first thought. tell us about that. >> we are trying to track down the passengers onboard the flight she was on from dallas to cleveland one week ago because they're saying now she may have been having symptoms earlier than they previously thought. its investigators did with people close to vinson who said she wasn't feeling well just before her flight out of dallas. this doesn't mean that she was trying to hide anything, but her case, now, remember, up until now the cdc was only concerned with the passengers who were on the return flight from cleveland to dallas because that's when she reported the low-grade fever when she was still in ohio. nbc news spoke last night with one of those passengers who is now under self-quarantine at home. >> told me to take my temperature twice a day and monitor it at least six hours apart and i would have never risked my life. if i knew she was in contact with patient zero,

he's been in isolation at a dallas hospital since sunday. as you just heard, though, the apartment where he stayed still has not been sanitized. >> even more shocking, four people -- duncan's perhaps girlfriend louise, her son, and her two nephews -- are still living there. they are inside that apartment. they can not leave until health officials confirm that they do not have ebola. and that could take weeks. joining us is john kaufman, president of the biosafety firm behavioral based improvement solutions. he was also a member of the cdc's response team for the anthrax attacks and also the sars out break. >> sean, we're glad you could join us because we have questions about this, the clean up, etc. you're the guy to ask. we know that a hazardous material crew went to the apartment yesterday. they were turned away because if we understand it correctly they didn't have the right permits to transport this infected material. help us understand the transport, the responsibility, the health concerns, et cetera, of disposing of and transporting su

but you want to let them out of dallas? that seems a little tricky. >> sitting right next to people. i was on a flight just this week with two small children and those are close quarters. let me bring in sanjay gupta back again for this question. i don't understand these rules of quarantine. some of them are slightly quarantined, which to me defies the purpose completely. some are under monitor. some are under penalty of law not to leave the. pa. how does this work and what's the point of being slightly quarantined? >> well, it's unusual for sure. i think this is part of the confusion. typically when you think of quarantine, you think of someone being quarantined because you want to diminish the risk that that person is to the public's health at large. that is not what we're talking about here with ebola because, again, unless someone is sick, they're really not a threat to the public at large. the reason for people in dallas were quarantined who were friends, family of mr. duncan, was because there was a concern with them
