Atlanta. And were starting with elizabeth cowen. The first patient diagnosed with ebola dr. Craig spencer, at least the first in new york city, he is right there at bellevue. How is he doing . Were told he is in stable condition, on his cell phone, hes talking. Sounds like considering hes really doing pretty well. How are officials retracing dr. Spencers movement. We know there is of course this process happens every time someone is tested positive for ebola. But how in this case are they making this work in all cities new york . Reporter so and new york is particularly tricky because people move around a lot to a lot of places so they tried to ascertain when he first started feeling sick, which sounds like october 2 1st and then he went into the hospital the 23rd. So thats two days of the tracing. And you go to a lot of different places. In his case as we know he went bowling. He wont to a few restaurants, he went for a walk on the high line, which is this outdoor area here in new york city. He went to a variety of places. Now they are not concerned about people that he might have walked past or just said hello to. That is not the concern. The concern is who might have shared bodily fluids with him. So that is why they are so focused on his fiance and two close friends. So new york and new jersey are tightening restrictions amandaing that workers who had direct contact must be quarantined for 21 days. Do we know the particulars how that is going to happen . How you mandate that . Whose going to check up on them . What the consequences will be if they dont comply . Reporter victor we dont know the answer to those things. And when ive reached out to new york and new jersey officials to ask these questions i dont get any answers. Feels a bit like they put out the policy and didnt think about how they were going to implement it. Quite a few healthcare workers come here and land in new york and jfk. Huge airports. How are you going to get to wherever youre quarantining them. They have families. What are the family members supposed to do . The point of the quarantine is to be alone. Do you move family members out. Do you post Police Officers outside their doors . And they are concerned about people who are healthy. Well if you are healthy you cant spread the virus. So it is a lot of questions as to why they are doing this. And this is a downside to doing this. They think they are making things better. But in fact they are discouraging healthcare workers from going to west africa to help out with the outbreak there. And if we dont have people helping out there things will get worse here. So many questions. If you have child care, whose going to bring groceries and whose going to pay me for the next 21 days because i have to be quarantined. Were going work to get e those answers as well. Elizabeth cowen in new york. Thank you so much. And the nina pham is cured on back home. But she made a stop on the way hope to give the president a hug and show the doesnt country that yes she is indeed free of the deadly virus. President obama hugging nurse nina pham to show americans the ebola scare is under control. Just minutes after her doctor did the same. She is cured of ebola. Lets get that clear. That is for sure. Im on my way back to recovery even as i reflect on how many others have not been so fortunate. I think this also should be a apt reminder that we do have the best medical infrastructure in the world. Reporter the white house given the alarm over a new ebola patient, a doctor in new york city, was quick to point out one of the cdc swat teams the president ordered was on the case. Im told this swat team arrived the same evening this individual was a confirmed ebola patient. Reporter but on capitol hill a leader called the overall response dangerously inconsistent and inadequate. No nation would ever contemplate sending soldiers into the battlefield without armor and weapons. Give us the tools we need. All we ask from president obama and congress is not one more infected nurse. Reporter and republicans continue to question why the president named a political aid, ron klain, to lead the effort. One of the terrific things about the way the Government Works together is that experts come together all the time. Your tremendous. Im going to take that as he has none. And aaron mcpike joins us now live from the white house. What was the takeaway from yesterdays hearing on the governments response to ebola . What was the underlying message this. Reporter well allison one of the big issues that came up was this idea of a quarantine and the u. S. Has committed some 3,000 soldiers to help treat and fight ebola in the countries effected in west africa. When those soldiers return, they are supposed to spend 10 days in quarantine. But lawmakers were asking some testifying if it should be 21 days instead. To that end there was a meeting here at the white house yesterday morning and they discussed this. And are still evaluating whether or not it is a good idea. And also ron klain, who was not at that hearing yesterday, he will be meeting with new york and new jersey officials in the coming weeks to discuss it alstal alison. So many discussions happening on the fly. Now the race is on to find people who may have had contact with the new york doctor who tested positive for ebola. They need to quarantine them before this virus can spread. Live at the cdc in atlanta. How is the progress on finding these people . Reporter good morning vicker. We know it is a difficult process and very challenging for these so called medical detectives. They start from scratch really, patient zero to see who may have had direct contact with patient zero, in this case craig spencer. And they do one of two things after that. They isolate and quarantine the contacts or they decide this person is not necessarily a direct risk of the public. And they monitor them over the course of that 21 day period to make sure they have no signs or symptoms of ebola and see particularly if their fever spikes. We know in the case of spencer that at least three people had direct contact with the 33yearold new york doctor, his fiance and two friend. Health experts say they are being monitored and quarantined right now and so far they are doing well. And we know Amber Vincent travelled to Emery University hospital to get a treatment for her ebola infection. The latest is her blood tepss have come back clear but we have no indication if or when she will be released. Excellent news there. Thank you nick at the cdc.

[ highpitched ] nailed it a brave teacher apparently tried to stop a School Shooter moments before he took his own life at the end of this deadly rampa rampage. The spree at Marysville Pilchuck high school in washington. We now have new information about the student who is may have been targeted. By jalen fryberg. Dan simon joins us from everett washington. I would imagine this is still a community in shock. No question allison. There is a deep sense of shock. Any time you have a horrific situation like in this. But perhaps even more so in this case. This was a popular student. Certainly doesnt faiit the profile. Meanwhile were here at a hospital in everett where two of the victims are being cared for. They are in extremely Critical Condition of course and the focus is on them today and the police investigation. Hundred s gather just hours after a nearby school shooting. It was around 10 30 a. M. Pacific time, students gathered in a crowded cafeteria at Marysville Pilchuck high school, 40 miles north of seattle. When fellow students and eye witnesses say freshman opened fire with a handgun he specifically targeted. He came up from behind and fired about 6 bullets into the backs of them. And they were his friends. So it wasnt just random. Students scattered. Many in the rest of the building say they thought a fire drill was underway and many ran outside. Hes sitting behind me. I heard the shots. I fell over and i just got over. I saw everyone running and i ran. In the hallways teachers started herding others in classrooms and ordering a lockdown. Some inside places a 911 call and by 10 40 police were storming the building. Going room to room placing tape over doors of those they have secured so they would know what had already been checked. And in the process they discovered the gunmen. By noon, officially saying he was dead apparently having shot himself. A female student was also killed in the attack. And four injured students are hospitalized. The grandfather of one of the survivors says the shooter and two of the wounded are related. All three of them are cousins. All three are cousins and they live right close to each other. He was considered to be a very well liked student and the freshman athlete was recently elected homecoming prince. But his social media paints a different picture. Shows active engagement and pride in the native american tulalip tribe. He loved the outdoors. Smiling here fishing on a boat. And another picture hunting. But turn to twitter a second more troubling image appears. He tweet ee eed multiple times. It breaks me. It actually does. I know it seems like aim sweating it off. Im not. And i never will be able. To im tired of this expletive. Im so expletive done. And hours before the attack he sent this. It wont last. It will never last. Where students who live through the attack it is a day they will never forget. I heard the kbuns guns and i turn around and hes pulling it and shooting everywhere. And theres blood everywhere and some got on other girls faces and stuff. Were still trying to piece together the final moments of what happened but we understand a teacher tried to intervene. She raced up to the shooter and try to put her hand on his arm and at that point he turned the gun on himself. I think the ultimate question is to what degree that may have altered the outcome. Of course that is not clear but certainly a brave action if indeed that happened. Alison and victor. The scandal another the university of North Carolina were going to talk about that in a moment.

While new york and new jersey are ramping up ebola travel restrictions, under federal guidelines every passenger who comes into the u. S. From countries with ebola will be actively monitored for 21 days. That is starting monday and all u. S. Bound passengers from liberia, sierra leone and guinea have to land at one of five airports in the u. S. That have enhanced screening procedures. And some lawmakers want a complete ban on flights ebola nations. Live from denver, congresswoman joins us. Good to have you. Good morning, great to be with you. Good to have you. On october 16th at a hearing when dr. Frieden head of the cdc was on capitol hill, you said the best way to stop ebola is to stop this virus in africa. Is that not the single best argument for a travel ban . Fight it there so americans dont have to fight it here. Well the first thing we have to worry about is making sure our country is safe. And then also stopping it in africa. A travel ban, because we have now International Travel all around the world. If we dont stop it in west africa, what will happen is people will travel out of west africa all around the world, to europe, to south america, to asia. And ebola will start to spread all around the world. Eventually it will make itself here. So what we have to make sure is that we we stop it there. You know, for every one infection now, eight people are being infected. So if we dont take a Strong International effort then it will spread and there wont be anything we can do to stop it. Now i will say this. What you are saying here, and i hate to interrupt but before we move to the second point, which i will let you finish. It sound like you are making the argument for a travel ban. I know from listening to your statements during the hearing that you are against a travel ban. But when you say we have it fight it there before people from west Africa Travel all over. That iss what happening. Why its in spain and the u. S. And other parts of europe, right . What im saying is that people will travel all over. It is a porous border an international economy. But my point is in the week since the hearing that we have the cdc has now clarified its guidelines. They are requiring everybody coming in from those three countries to go to one of five airports, where they will be screened and monitored. And they will be monitored for 21 days after they get here. I think that is a good idea. We need to realize ebola is not transmitted by air, like the flu or something else. And so if somebody doesnt have a temperature or any of the other symptoms, then they are not contagious. They are not going to make other people sick. It is a very fine balance. And i really rely on the Public Health officials, both the cdc and the International Healthy officials to find that very fine balance so we can get Health Workers into those countries to stop the spread of ebola but at the same time protect our own borders. So the issue has evolved a little bit since the hearing. It is nuanced. It is hard to fine that balance because we want to have doctors like our brave dr. Spencer who went over to treat these patients. But then on the other hand when he comes home we need to make sure that americans are safe too. So it is a tough call but we really need to make sure we stop ebola in west africa. That is o going to be the most effective prevention for u. S. Citizens. The Obama Administration says it is o considering a mandatory quarantine for healthcare workers coming back from west africa. And new york and new jersey have imposed that. But should this have been done sooner. Because there is a lot of questions where do you quarantine these people . There ara lot of particulars that dont seem to have been worked out yet. Right. There is a lot of o particulars that havent been worked out in new york, connecticut and new jersey about where you will house these people. So i rely on the Public Health officials. I did tell the cdc though they need a bright line. And subsequently they said okay, were going to only let people come into these five airports. Were going to monitor them everyday. But i think we need a clear test. And i think we again we need to realize people with no symptoms, a fever or other symptoms, they are not contagious. They are not going to infect other people. So it is a fine balance between getting our people to go over and help treat these ebola patients. And they are very courageous to go on the front lines like that. And then also making sure that we protect Public Health. So i dont think we should overreact. But i do think we are going to have a clear task so people know what to expect. Congresswoman before rewrap up. I want to get this in. You said before the hearing that america is not a fortress and the it would be unreasonable to have this travel ban from people coming from sierra leone and liberia and guinea. But you know three countries that do have travel bands, they have clolzed their borders. Sierra leone, liberia and guinea. If they are willing and subscribed to this idea of closing the borders and travel bans to protect their people, why shouldnt the u. S. Do the same . What im saying is people will leave these three countries. They will go other places. And they will make their way to the United States. We dont have any non stop flights from these countries to the United States. Everybody who leaves them flies through someplace else. So you are not going to be able we shouldnt delude ourselves to say were going to be safe if were having a travel ban. But what we will be doing is stopping aid wor
