Berman. Im michaela pereira, great to have you with us. Those stories and more ahead at this hour. We do have some breaking news just in on ebola. Just a few minutes ago, we learned that defense secretary chuck hagel announced a 21day quarantine upon return for all military personnel who serve in ebolastricken areas of west africa. Its important to point out that this policy for returning military personnel creates a separate set of rules than what the white house has pushed for for civilian health care workers. I want to turn to our pentagon correspondent Barbara Starr. Well also brick in dr. Frank esper, Infectious Disease specialist. I think barbara well start with you at the pentagon. Why this double standard different set of guidelines . Good morning. This was expected, everybody had been waiting for it. What the secretary has ordered is a quarantine for everybody. But they dont really even know at this point how theyll do it. Theyll take 15 days to figure out how to implement it.
