Than 32. 5 billion dollars by the end of the year, but it could be closer to 9 billion if the disease can be contained cleat.

Air words where people will start having temperatures taken when they arrived on an overseas flight. With moresen is there on how they are prepared to handle ebola in america. We should point out that this greetings that begin saturday will impact a very small amount of passengers who walk these isles on any given days. Tens of thousands of people walk and dulles and about International Passengers coming in are key. Thomas duncan, the patient who died today flew through dulles first. This was his dentistry. Well before many passengers land from customs and Border Patrol will identify certain passengers who have had itineraries that took them through west african countries, countries impacted by the ebola crisis. Willthey land here, they be met by officials from the center for Disease Control who will check their temperatures and screen them. Then customs and Border Patrol severalill ask questions and try to figure out if they are lying about their exposure to ebola. You will recall it is widely assumed Thomas Duncan did not reveal he had been exposed to the virus when he made it here. Many medical experts say this will do very little to make sure ebola does not land back here in the u. S. Again. Many others say it will go a long way toward accompanying many passengers here. Up, d. C. Bureau chief sam ford is talking to the Fire Department about how its prepared to handle any ebola case in the nations capital. We are standing by for the press conference from the cdc and we will go to that as soon as that happens. A texas judge has set a december trial date or adrian peterson.

With all the attention on the nfl off the field this season, there have been plenty of discussions about the future for the commissioner. A new poll by the associated rest finds a majority of americans think he should keep his job. Just 32 of the nearly 2000 adults asked think he should be fired. Somee talk over talk talk over the nationals. The season ended last night after the San Francisco giants beat the gnats eat the nats in the series. Everybody has an opinion on this and everyone is strong from their opinion. Chokeding from they today are cursed. I was asked for my take and here it is the nationals had four days off before they started the Division Series. They lost their momentum while the giants had to play a tough game against pirates in a wildcard game. Well get back to this shortly, but lets go back to the News Conference at the cdc. Despite maximal interventions, we learned today that he passed away. Our thoughts go out to his is ay, friends, and he face we associate now with ebola. Epidemic,tart of the 3742 patients in west africa have been documented to have died from the disease. Faces fromve their an alien front of us and we know even more people have been affected. We think about this and remember what a deadly enemy ebola is and how important it is that we take every step possible to both protect americans and stop the outbreak at its source in africa. Do to the things we protect americans here in the United States is to improve our preparedness in our health care system. Are firstkey steps thinking of the possibility of ebola and identifying who may theythe disease so that can be rapidly tested and third, effectively isolated. That is crucial for our response will stop identification, diagnosis and safe care of anyone who may have ebola needs to be top of mind for Health Care Providers throughout the country. Bitdc, we do quite a support Health Care Workers in addressing and assessing patients. We have provided detailed information that should be available to every frontline Healthcare Worker about how to address a patient you may have ebola. Anyone with a fever should be in west they have been africa, specifically guinea, sierra leone, and liberia in the tested days and if so, for ebola. We provide something called Health Alert Network switch reach hundreds of thousands of Health Care Workers. We do webinars and reach out to professionals is the agent and emergency of Emergency Department associations and many others so we can ensure the available information is uptodate and useful. Now, the bottom line of what we are talking about todays we are stepping up protection for people coming into this country and for americans related to travel. Look atcontinuously ways we can increase the safety of americans, and we do that at many Different Levels will stop we do that in dallas where are workingere intensively to monitor every person who might have had contact with the patient to make sure if they do develop fever, they are immediately isolated and the train of trent the chain of transmission can be broken. We do that in our Healthcare System with the kind of outreach i have described so that patients will be rapidly diagnosed and if found to have ebola, rapidly and effectively isolated. Source,at at the understanding that until this outbreak is over in west africa, whenever we do cannot get the risk to zero here in the interconnected world we live in today. Through entry and travel programs, including the efforts we undertake in west africa and some that will be described in more detail later in this briefing. Before turning it over to the deputy secretary from the department of Homeland Security, i would like to emphasize the basic principles we use when looking at interventions. We continuously evaluate ways to utter protect americans will our protecting americans is number one priority. Second, we make sure whatever we do is something that works, that we evaluate, and that we can think of ways to continuously improve. Third, we recognize whatever we outbreak is over in west africa, we cannot get the risk to zero. That is why we continue to search the cdc response and the whole of the government cdc response in west africa and the international reonse where we have seen hundreds of Health Care Workers, hundreds of millions of dollars, and an intensive effort to deploy in the countrys most heavily affected all stop as we say in health care, above all, do no harm. Whatever weake sure do doesnt unintentionally increase the risk that we will be at risk will stop just to remind us of what happened a decade ago in the sars out rake, the sars out rate costs the world more than 40 billion but it was not to control the out rate. Those were costs from unnecessary and ineffective travel restrictions and trade changes that could have been avoided. Make surent to do is we dont undermine our ability to stop the outbreak at the source and unintentionally increase our risk here. The newne some of measures being taken and review some measures already being taken, i will turn it over now to the deputy secretary. Thank you very much. The department of Homeland Security is focused on protecting the traveling public and taking steps to ensure passengers with Communicable Diseases like ebola are screened , isolated, and quickly and safely referred to medical personnel. We have implemented a range of measures to ensure a layered approach. Today, the existing measures in place include issuing do not cdcd orders to airlines if and the department of state determine the passenger is a risk to the traveling public. To providing information and guidance about ebola to the airlines. Number three, posting notices at airports to raise awareness about ebola, and providing a Health Notice prominent commonly referred to as a care sheet to travelers entering the United States that have transmitted through the affected companies. Of should there be concern possible confection possible infection. We have announced today enhanced measures. Specifically the enhance the enhanced screening will consist of targeted westerns, temperature checks and collection of Contact Information of travelers from the three affected countries entering the United States by the airports. Jfk, newark, and ellis, chicago ohare, and atlanta. Customs and Border Protection officers by way of background, the officers observe all passengers for overt signs of illness through visual observation and questioning as appropriate. For those entering the United States at all points of entry. In addition, moving forward, all travelers arriving to the five airports identified in the United States from liberia and sierra leone, and ginny will undergo the enhanced screening measures. They will answer targeted questions about whether they have had contact with ebola patients. We will collect additional u. S. Waste Contact Information should the cdc need to contact them, and finally, we will take their with a noncontact thermometer which can be a key indicator of potential infection. We are taking these additional measures in a dynamic environment to ensure a layered approach and that we take security measures we assessed to be needed right now. With that, i will turn it back all stop before opening for i would recap that starting at jfk on saturday and for other airports mentioned in the following re following week, dulles, newark, chicago and atlanta, these airports represent nearly 95 of all of the 100 and the travelers per day who arrive from these three countries. The department of Homeland Security, customs and Border Protection will be implementing a new detailed questionnaire as well as temperature taking and providing information to each traveler. If any travelers are found to either have a fever or have a history of contact with ebola, the onsite centers for Disease Control and prevention public will furtherr interview that individual, assess the individual, and take additional action as appropriate. I want to emphasize this is stepping up protection. It is going to find people with fever or contact who do not have we know over the past couple of months, one of every five travelers boarding a plane in west africa has had a fever. Most of those have malaria. None of those as far as we know have been diagnosed with ebola. We expect to see some patients with fever and that will cause some obvious and understandable concern at the airports. I would like to spend a minute just talking about malaria. We are going to step out of this right now, but you have been listening to the director of the center for Disease Control discussing the ebola situation. We learned this morning the sad news that the first patient here in the u. S. , in dallas, has passed away from ebola. Now that discussion continues about protecting everyone else in this country. The cdc listing five major airports that are out lets for folks from west africa where passengers will undergo real scrutiny, not just questions, but noncontact their monitors. Clearly it will be taken very seriously. Showing awhite house level of severity with which they are taking this situation. We will continue to follow this route the evening. Tim as he waspted discussing the washington nationals. E want to get back to this certainly the Ebola Outbreak and subsequent death puts it sports in perspective. The nationals had four days off before they started the Division Series and they lost their momentum. The giants had to play a tough game against the pirates just to get to play the pirates and that showed. Then that had a tough time getting the offense going again. It was anemic and i thought it showed map will humans was a rookie manager. He mismanaged the hitching them especially the bullpen. Matt williams still stood by his decisions afterwards. We play the way we wanted to play. There were a lot of things right , it bitter and all of those things, but i am proud of them. [indiscernible] they almost one 100 games ring the season but lost three out of four in the playoffs. It was a tremendous season, they just failed layoffs and that is something a young team has to learn how to win and post these him, when it all on the line. Thank you. Ben gnats may be done but the orioles are still playing. Are you going to shift your allegiance and cheer for the orioles . We will share some of your comments a little later in the newscast.

We posted this on our Facebook Page this morning and we had more than 100 comments in just under an hour. Kai jackson has some of that. People are really fired up about this topic. It seems logical trees and branches can fall on power lines. But not so fast. They dontotomac say have power outage issues and file an injunction to stop the tree cutting. We are asking if pepco should be able to cut trees on private property. The optiongives them of having the tree cut or pay for the damage it does to the power light. Don says yes, they are impeding powerlines. Whoe are the same people will complain when they lose power due to downed trees. Clement says they should think of other ways to deal with powerlines. We need trees just as much as the wildlife. Interesting thoughts there.

A rare sight off the coast of Southern California where more than if these sperm whales were old and played with a bunch of dolphins near laguna beach. The whales werent later spotted near san diego heading south. They say it was the Largest Group of sperm whales so close to shore in decades. The animals weigh up to 45 tons. That is incredible video. Still to come, doing donations as ms. In absentia . We are looking at how often some members of right now, things are somewhat quiet on capitol hill, but we are less than a month away from deciding who will lead our country from the halls of congress. The congress is now the most unpopular in history according to many polls. Many of them are on the campaign trail this week. We have a look at new report showing just how often those members of congress skip important hearings on the hill. Members of the 113th ingress at times have their work cut out for them. Veterans died. Give us the answers, please. While hearings like this get expensive media coverage, it turns out many other hearings look more like this. A february hearing on Alzheimers Research coming nearly empty. But it drew actor seth rogen. But thank you for the opportunity to testify today. Senators were walking out or not showing up at all. It seems like a low priority. It seems like these people dont hair. Thats the message they are giving by leaving during testimony. Washington examiner analyzed meeting that together this list of top offenders. Some who missed hearings on committees of which they serve more than 90 of the time. Is not inr congress the committee hearings, you should be asking where are they. I bet eight times out of 10, they are raising money either for themselves or other members of the party. You need to immerse yourself so you can be the expert the American People need you to be so you can make informed decisions. 20 of critics point not to the lawmakers but the system in which weve gotten used to so many committees and so many hearings that our electorate leaders are forced to make tough decisions about what will serve their constituents at her. I keep that travels from california or oregon and you have lumberjacks that come from washington and their member of congress was the mosque, they are going to want to know why. The Congressional Management Foundation says with a limited time lawmakers are given to taken to take art, sometimes its not worth it. Tosometimes these meetings many members choose not to go to are just not important. Still consider this photo a hearing on longterm unemployment attended by just one senator. Thatsht want to ask if not important, then just what is . Very interesting. You can get a link to that entire report on our website, wj l. A. Com. Abc seven news at 5 00 start right now. Live, from the but we begin with more on the breaking news surrounding ebola in america. At december, a sheriffs deputy that has ebola like symptoms is on his way to the hospital in texas. This comes just hours after the first person died in the red states, Thomas Duncan, died from the disease. Airports will now start to screen passengers for high fevers. Was justnformation revealed about this second possible texas case. A News Conference is happening right now about the latest person being monitored for ebola. Here is what they had to say. We transported the patient to Texas Health Resources in dallas. Had reported that they initially had been in the of the initial ebola patient in dallas and had some contact with family members. At this time, hour and permission is that they had not had contact with the patient, but family members. And they had also been inside the apartment. Just to we cap, that patient has been identified as a deputy who accompanied to county Health Officials into the apartment where Thomas Eric Duncan was staying in dallas. The deputy had to get inside to get a quarantine order signed by but no one he went into the apartment had protective gear on that day.
