>> well, certainly, nobody's happy about it. you heard president obama talk about the difference between having a protocol and following the protocol. i think that's what people are looking at very closely. there was a picture of the priest who died of ebola being brought in. completely geared up, everything looked like protocol. that's the picture you saw. i'm sure what you have not seen are scenes that were not photographed. >> and the world health organization says infections among health care workers are an alarming feature of this outbreak. how can that be since health care workers know how this virus is contracted? >> obviously, most of it in west africa. what i've been reading about from those you coming back, you have the ebola wards and people in regular hospitals. there were people in the regular hospitals they didn't suspect having ebola ended up having it and they were in contact with them. and the equipment isn't necessarily perfect. >> i know you tell us not to fill up our worry bucket as you told us yesterday. but now, another case in spain. the president of the united states talking about additional screening procedures at airports here in the u.s. and abroad. charlie had a great question, which is -- >> what's the worst case scenario? in other words, we understand we don't want panic. we understand we're doing everything we can. but what if things go wrong? what's the worst case? >> you journalists always ask about the worst case scenario. look, you can walk outside -- >> shouldn't we know what could go wrong? >> yeah. >> you know, everything could go wrong, right? but it's a matter of percentages, seriously. you could walk outside and look at the sky and say freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose. what are the odds of that happening -- really, close to zero. if you start worrying about the tiny percentage things. >> not to worry, just being aware. >> okay, the worst thing that could possibly happen is it gets out of control in the united states but -- >> or in a country like spain. >> or, yes, it's already out of control in africa, okay? and you worry about it coming to other countries. and i think, yes, that's the worst case scenario if you're really asking that but i do not think it's at all likely, neither does any expert. because we do know how to control it. we know how to stop it in its tracks. >> and health care official, communicatinging that clearly. >> thank you, jon. the cdc says our health care system can handle an ebola outbreak, but we'll hear from nurses who say their hospitals are not ready. that's ahead on "cbs this morning." and uptick this morning in the threat of another virus. the cdc now confirms nearly 600 cases of enterovirus d-68. most victims are kids. the virus is in 48 states and washington, d.c. vincente arenas is in washington, d.c. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, the five children in the hospital here are being tested for enterovirus d-68, the latest two cases were made public yesterday afternoon. the five cases at children's hospital of philadelphia involve acute muscle weakness, and abnormalities inpatients' spines. hospital officials are not yet sure if any of the illnesses are linked to enterovirus d-68. the cdc is also trying to determine if this 4-year-old boy from new jersey had the virus. in just three days, preet schooler went from exhibiting cold symptoms to having trouble breathing. >> that's when i started getting very scared. >> reporter: tabitha vassey is the boy's mother. >> i'm like, this is not good. i'm still scared to this day that i could wake up and he's gone. >> reporter: that's what happened to 4-year-old eli waller who attends the same preschool. after staying home from cool with pink eye and no other symptoms, eli died in his sleep september 25th. this weekend, the cdc confirmed the case was evd-68. what's the most significant part in all of this waiting? >> trying to keep everything calm for him. >> reporter: the cdc has confirmed 594 cases of evd-68. it's been determined in cases of five cases who died. including a 10-year-old girl in rhode island. dr. ann schuchat is with the cdc. >> there are other states where we know the virus has been present which is unclear whether the child died with the virus or from the virus. >> reporter: samples from tabitha's son and five other kids here will be sent to the cdc to be tested for evd-68. that process could take days. a 19-year-old american isn't a chicago jail accused trying to join isis in syria. mohammed hamzah khan appeared in court monday. he was arrested saturday at o'hare airport before boarding a flight to turkey. investigators say khan left a note for his family. the note said he felt obligated to join isis and called western society immoral. khan faces charges that could bring 15 years in prison. meanwhile, isis forces are trying to take control of a key border time in syria. up to 12,000 civilians in kobani could be trapped by the siege. this morning, there are reports of new air strikes in that area. mark phillips is in london tracking the battle for kobani. had mark, good morning. >> good morning. well, it's a test of whether air power alone can stop the event of the so-called islamic state and right now it doesn't team to be doing that. the town of kobani, just inside of syria, hard on the border of turkey has been under siege with isis for three weeks but they've been advancing over the past two days. according to latest reports from kurdish forces inside the town, isis has been attacking from two sides and its black flag is now flying over several strategic buildings. isis has heavy weaponry and the kurdish fighters have not seemed to repel their advance. much the population, an estimated 180,000 people has fled into turkey which has staged its own tanks along the border with syria, but has not entered the battle with isis on its door steps. so there's growing pressure on turkey to join the fight. charlie. >> mark, thanks. for the first time, same-sex couples are getting married in places like virginia and utah. that following the supreme court rejection of appeals which means same-sex marriage will be legal in 30 of the 50 states. jan crawford is with the supreme court. >> reporter: good morning, charlie. you know, they made this big news yesterday without even saying a word. they simply issued a written order with no comment or no fanfare, and not think they were not going to get involved with these cases. what that means, the lower court decisions in a number of states that have struck down bans s o same-sex marriage, those rules will stand. this is not a nationwide decision. it does not mean that same-sex marriage is legal everywhere. they could reach a different decision. two now considering, louisiana and ohio. i think that's why some people would really hope that the supreme court would just go ahead and step in now and resolve this once and for all. but yesterday, they made it clear they're going to let that play out longer in the lower courts. >> so were most court observers surprised? >> reporter: you know, some people were, charlie, i think that was probably just some wishful thinking. that the court would come in here and make some kind of historic ruling, preserving a right for same-sex marriage across the country. but when justices get involved in cases, there generally has to be a split, a division in the lower court. so the court will come in and just will resolve it. and here, the three appeals court so far that have considered this issue, they're all in agreement that these bans on same-sex marriage are unconstitutional. so there's no conflict. justice ginsburg said in a speech last month there's no need for us to rush to step in. you know that could change, of course. if these other courts make a different decision, then you have a conflict. and then the court would have to step in. but right now, they're just going to sit back. norah. >> jan, thank you so much. this morning, pennsylvania investigators are examining a new clue in the search for a suspected cop killer. cbs news confirms that authorities recovered a letter they believe eric frein wrote. don dale letter is in cresco, pennsylvania. >> reporter: eric frein might have been seen a few days ago in a tree nursery that is a little ways away from here. authorities say he's been spotted at least five times with searchers in these thick northeastern pennsylvania woods. so far, he's able to elude them. they now say that letter sheds new light on the crime. investigators found the letter during their manhunt. a law enforcement source tells cbs news that eric frein describes how he shot two pennsylvania state troopers on september 12th and then escaped. on sunday, police believe they were hot on his trail, converging on a tree nursery where a man fitting frein's description was spotted. dogs picked up the scent but they event level lost the trail. lieutenant colonel george bivens of the state police. >> when we find a location, we lock it down and sweep it. and then to guarantee that you secure that perimeter. >> reporter: officials say that frein has been living on tuna fish and ramen noodles. police are reluctant to follow after the self-taught survivalist. >> numerous items of clothing, ammunition, and two explosive devices were located at that time. >> reporter: according to a search warrant, about 4 1/2 hours before the deadly shooting, frein texted a friend saying all is good. heading back to delaware now. investigators believe that was a lie to throw them off his trail. with the search now in its fourth week, hunting has been banned in the immediate area. martin horowitz who owns the brookview manor inn say many are scare. >> they're either on the road or on my front lawn with guns aiming at the creek, you got people doing that, you're going have problems. >> reporter: visitors come here this time of year for the changing fall foliage, but investigators say that's actually going to help them. as the weather gets colder and the trees lose their leaves they're now going to be able to use thermal imagery and helicopters to try to track down frein. and a study from aaa raises concerns about using hands-free behind the wheel. wyatt andrews, good morning. >> good morning. you might think you're a safe driver when you use one of these voice activated systems in the car to send a text or make a phone call. but this new study shows how distracted we get especially when it gets it wrong. >> call john doe. >> not donna. cancel. call john doe. >> reporter: researchers are asking if the very latest hands-free voice command systems cause drivers to get distracted. and the answer is yes. one driver in a simulator who's voice messaging a facebook update gets so distracted, she rear ends the car in front. but the biggest problem is not the driver. the study concludes that errors made by the voice systems cause the greatest distraction. here, the driver is asking apple's siri to call a restaurant. >> cafe trio. >> sorry, i didn't get that. please select a restaurant. >> reporter: in the driver's frustration, she misses a prompt that measures her attention to the road. david strayer of the university of utah designed the study. is it really that distracting to talk to your automobile about a phone call? >> it can be. in situations where you have a system that's very difficult to use, it's extremely frustrating to use then, yes, you'll be paying attention to that. and not paying attention to traffic lights and pedestrians and other cars. >> reporter: the study also ranked the leading voice systems by distractions. on a chart where five is the most distracting a chevrolet with gm my link system rated worst at 3.7 while toyota's intune system rated best at 1.7. gm said in a statement it's committed to hands-free systems and improving our systems and verbal interfaces on behalf of our customers. this study did not link any of these hands-free systems to an increase in car accidents. the science is not there yet. but it does say very simply, the more we have focus on talking to the car, the less we're focused on the road. norah. >> i believe it.

>> well, we looked at about more than 80 process foods that contain corn and soy out there. the two samples of a snapshot study, not drawing conclusions about any brand. here's what we found out. if a product didn't have a claim on it it was likely to contain gmo and we looked at another that suggested gmos were not used and put those to the test as well. >> so why are gmos bad for you? >> there's a lot of controversy about gmos, unfortunately, they're not required to be proven to be safe before getting on the market so we're kind of learning that in a backwards direction. there's studies with animal studies and not enough on humans. people want to know if gmos are in their foods so we think they have a right to that. >> you tell us it has gmos, what do we do with that? >> just like foods that are homogenized, or radiated, we think they should be labeled as well. >> even if it says natural, that still doesn't mean that 2 doesn't have gmos in it? >> unfortunately, there's not a whole lot of definition between natural. 60% of people in the survey believe that natural means no gmos. yet that's not the case. there's very little definition for what "natural" has to mean. that's one having a campaign to ask consumers and the government to ban the natural labels. >> why should we understand if they're good four or bad for you? >> well, there's not a whole lot of testing out there, charlie. >> well, why not? >> the government here doesn't mandate that. they do not require that before these things go to market that they're actually proven to be safe. >> but they've been on the market for a long time, haven't they? >> well, they've been on the market the last decade and they certainly are different enough to get a patent for it, why aren't they different enough to determine if they're safe. >> so if natural are they organic? >> almost all natural labels had gmos. when it came to other claims that were reliable. organic was very good in the certification program. it legally prohibits the use of gmos and that was reliable. >> for someone who does a lot of the grocery shopping, my husband is laughing out loud right now, why shouldn't i have gmos? is it going 0 do something to my children or me? >> it's having informed choices. labeling is required in more than 60% of the country by the same countries who fight labeling in this country. and the fact of the matter is, it hasn't destroyed gmo production in other countries. people have a right to know whether it's in their foods finance people wanted all blue m&ms, they'd there would be labeling for all blue m&ms. people have a right to know that foods are provided by gmos. >> all right. and your number is, so people can call you?
