Yourself. Do you understand me . Stay motivated captioning sponsored by cbs this is the cbs evening news with scott pelley. Pelley good evening. The head of the c. D. C. Said today that the agency will double down on training after a dallas nurse became the first person to catch ebola in the United States. The nurse helped treat the first ebola patient diagnosed in this country. He caught the virus in liberia. There is a no trespassing sign on the nurses dallas apartment and hazmat teams have been cleaning it. The city is now looking for a place to opinioner the her dog. We have a team of correspondents on this story. First Manuel Bojorquez in dallas. Reporter 26yearold nina pham was part of the medical team that treated thomas eric duncan. Two days after his death, the nurse developed a fever and on saturday tested positive for ebola. A hazmat team has been decontaminating her dallas apartment, but there is still concern here. Gus shaw is the neighborhood mailman. When the c. D. C. Says you cant get it through the air, it has to be through bodily fluids. I believe that. But i want to make sure. I dont know if the person picked up their mail and sneezed on the mail becomes or what. Reporter officials still dont know exactly how pham became infected. Texas Health Presbyterian said she wore protective gear, including a gown, gloves, mask and shield. The centers for Disease Control and prevention said there was a preach in protocol and the exposure may have occurred when the nurse removed the gear. C. D. C. Director tom frieden. We have to rethink the way we address ebola infection control, because even a single infection is unacceptable. Reporter the c. D. C. Instructed the hospital to use a buddy system in which workers supervised each other as they suit up or remove the gear. And spray down the medical team with a bleach solution after members leave a patients room. Its unclear whether that was happening here. Still there is growing concern among the nations nurses about what some call a lack of training. Bonnie castillo is with the union. We wouldnt send our soldiers to war without weapons. Sending nurses in without the appropriate levels of education, training or equipment is simply sending them in at risk to themselves, their families and patients. Reporter officials said the nurse here is in stable condition and one person she had close contact with before coming to the hospital is being monitored. There is still no considered on exactly how many other Health Care Workers could be at risk of infection, but, scott, today the director of the c. D. C. Said he would not be surprised if there were additional cases. Pelley manuel, thanks very much. As you heard, the c. D. C. Is blaming the nurses infection on a breech in protocol. Our dr. Jon lapook is in washington tonight with more about that. Jon . The present call for treating ebola is complicated. Heres just one step from the c. D. C. Guidelines, as you are removing the gown, peel off your governors at the same time, only touching the inside of the gloves and gown with your bare hand, so the hospital staff in dallas may not have had time to properly train for a disease they likely never expected to see. We sat down with dr. Anthony fauci, the head of Infectious Diseases at the National Institutes of health, and asked about the challenge of training hospital workers. How long does it take for the workers to be adequately trained . It takes a while. It takes a while. It could take a couple weeks. Its not going to happen, like, okay, go through it once. In dallas we thought the protocol was quite frankly, the proof is in the pudding. The training was not adequate. The training was not adequate. We have to make sure the training is adequate so that if a patient comes into a hospital and that hospital is taking care of the patient, that it isnt passive instruction read this, do that. Its active instructions. There are a lot of nurses and Health Care Workers who are really protesting. Exactly. Thats the reason why the Training Needs to be ratcheted up in a very proactive way. Do you think its going to be done . It is going to be done. It is done. But saying it so and making it so are two separate things. Theyre doing it now. There is a c. D. C. Team in dallas now thats on site monitoring things to make sure that that training really gets done. There are currently four centers in the United States where staff are specially trained on how to handle diseases like ebola. They have successfully treated five patients. Dr. Fauci says the government is considering using them for future victims but has to resolve issues such as how to transport patients without spreading the infection. Pelley jon lapook in our washington newsroom. Jon, thank you. Thomas duncan, the only patient to die in america, came here from liberia, one of the west african nations that are ground zero for the epidemic. We were struck by these pictures from liberia, a woman saying goodbye to her sister headed to cremation, and the body of a fouryearold. Of more than 8,000 cases in the world, half are in liberia. That is where we find debora patta tonight. Reporter like every public place in the capital these days, churchgoers must first wash their hands in chlorine bleach before going inside. Its hard to escape the fear surrounding ebola. The choir of the Providence Baptist does its best to raise flagging spirits. Even as doctors use the pulpit to convey vital information. People are not special. Reporter Health Care Workers like emmanual ekyinabeh work long hours under impossibly difficult conditions. The suits they must wear are stifling and uncomfortable. Dr. Dan lucey is from Georgetown University and is one of the worlds top virologists. He works at a clinic run by doctors without borders. He told us the liberian Health Care Workers are often ostracized. Theres a very strong stigma against people who have either had ebola infection or anyone else in the family has or if you work in an Ebola Treatment Center like this one. Despite the daily tragedies, staff here embrace the slivers of hope, like these two patients who survived. Now they dip their hand in paint, mark of defiance against a deadly disease. Lucey told us about a family he helped treat, who thought their threeyearold was going to die. They were also both quite sick. But then they recovered adeqtely and took turn, the mom and dad took turns helping the threeyearold daughter. Today its one of the best days of my life because theyre survivors. Reporter it takes quite an emotional toll, doesnt it . But its worth it. Happy to be here. Reporter these stories are all the more incredible when you consider the conditions doctors like dan lucey work under. Their protection suits are unbearably hot, they dehydrate quickly, so much so that when they come out of the isolation unit, scott, their boots are full of water and they can lose up to five pounds a session. Pelley debora patta at the epicenter of the epidemic in monrovia, liberia. Debora, thank you. In another major story tonight, baghdad is close to being encircled by the Islamic Terrorist Group known as isis. Much of Anbar Province to the west and part of diyala province to the northeast have fallen. The u. S. Is hitting isis from the air, but its up to the iraqis to winton ground. Elizabeth palmer met one of the generals. Reporter u. S. Humvees on patrol in a landscape thats hot, hostile and dangerous. But its 2014. Now the soldiers here are iraqi, and the enemy calls itself isis. General jabbar naeemal says the militants are local men who have a huge advantage over his troops drawn from across the country. They are learning everything about their area. The soldiers know nothing. Reporter yeah, thats tough. Its a bad time for the iraqi military. Every soldier here knows the army is being routed by isis time and again, but general jabbar is one of a select group of commanders the u. S. And Iraqi Government hope will turn things around. He studied at the u. S. Army war college in pennsylvania and hes learned a thing or two about morale in a climate of defeat. I should be very close to my soldiers. My soldiers should be very close to each other. They should know how to defeat their enemy. Reporter they all have to stay close to the local people, who know better than anyone who is planting i. E. D. S or hiding guns. The strategy is working. After months of heavy fighting, iraqi forces south of baghdad managed to push isis out, but only with backup from u. S. Air strikes three weeks ago, which forced the militants to retreat over the bridge, blowing it up behind them. Now they trade pot shots with the iraqi forces left on guard. [gunfire] but no one here is relaxing. General jabbar and his men may have taken this ground. Now they have to hold it. But there was more bad news for the military tonight, scott. The army unit in the town of heat about 90 miles west of the capital was under attack from isis. Today they pulled out, abandoned their bases and retreated. Pelley Elizabeth Palmer reporting for us tonight from baghdad. Liz, thanks very much. As you know, isis has beheaded four western hostages, two of them american. And now its threatening to do the same to an aid worker from indiana. Peter kassig, who has changed his name to abdul rahman kassig. In an interview with his parents, they describe seeing their son in an isis video on tv as they dined in a hotel restaurant. One minute you look at your scrambled eggs and you look up and theres football. The next minute you look up from your scrambled eggs and theres your son. And you sit there and you have to watch. Everybodys draw in the place drop. You have to fake it, too, because you dont want the stand there and l callous, and inside you want the scream, hey, thats my kid. Just ate it and went back upstairs, took a walk. Other families in you situation have not spoken out like you are. Why are you speaking now . They didnt speak out because one of the preconditions was if we went public he was dead. And we were all under that edict for over a year. But the dynamics are changed now. Stevens family kept the secrecy and he was executed. Peters name has been listed. Pelley steven, of course, is steven sotloff, one of the two americans beheaded by isis.
