Ill talk to a retired general about what is being done to protect them. And the first public account, officer Darrin Wilson gives specific details of shots fired when and where in the New York Times. And the big impact on voters in texas, ill talk to a former texas senator about what this means for her state. Plus, a new app saying it can help to reduce Sexual Assault in college campuses. But app says no to it. That app is todays big idea. Good afternoon to you, im richard louie. We start with three fronts on the ebola virus, the agency will work on its protocol handling ebola patients. Meanwhile, president obama is sending three officials to coordinate responses. This is separate from the s. W. A. T. Team on the ground today. And today, new questions and details on two infected nursing. Nina pham is feeling tired but resting comfortably, while with Amber Vincent there was new evidence on how sick she was when she boarded the plane to texas. Meanwhile, a cruise ship is on its way back to texas. On board there is a Health Care Worker who handled a lab specimen from the first patient, thomas eric duncan. Considered low risk, she is on her way home right now. Kristen welker is there in dallas, and the dean of tropical medicines at baylor college, also with us. Kristen, starting with us, the White House Team, how is it different and complementary to the cdc s. W. A. T. Team when we look at the two of them . Well, first of all the point person on all of this is going to be ron klain. The veteran here in washington who served as former chief of staff to Vice President joe biden, he has a background in law and business. He knows the way Government Works and that is why president obama picked him to really head up the effort. The white house says we should really think of him in terms of a bridge, a bridge between all the different agencies that need to coordinate and be on the same page to do a better job of not only reassuring the public but making sure that Accurate Information is getting out to hospitals all across the country and to people all across the country so that they have the correct information to prevent against any further spread of ebola here in the United States. There is also going to be a team on the ground in texas, richard, that includes adrian saenz, who ser serves as the house liaison, and the coordinator for the response, finally the fema officer, kevin haynes who will serve as the counterpart. So there will be a team there in dallas working with the white house, working with ron klain making sure theyre getting all the help and assistance they need. President obama acknowledging that the federal government needed to do a better job of responding to this crisis, political pressures here as well, richard, with the midterm elections just a few weeks away. Democrats were concerned that the criticism that president obama was getting could further hurt their chances to hold onto the senate. As you know they are locked in a tough fight right now to try to do exactly that. So i anticipate that the response is going to look a lot different in this coming week. At least to hat is the hope her at the white house. Kristen, the Ebola Response claim, were in it a couple of days so far. Any issue on terms of when he starts, that sort of detail . Reporter right, we know that president obama reached out to him, made that official ask on friday that he be the point person. He is expected to begin his work on monday. We know that mr. Saenz will be on the ground as early as tomorrow in dallas. So i think that the orders here from the white house is that this work is expected to begin immediately. I would not be surprised if conversations, meetings and phone calls are going on behind scenes right now as they gear up for next week. As you know, this past week, richard, was a disaster in terms of the headlines. Every day there was other disturbing headlines. So the idea is to not only prevent against that but to make sure that the mistakes we saw that happened in dallas dont get repeated. So ron klain expected to hit the ground running, at least that is the charge here from president obama. And the calls coming from the republicans just a week ago when we talked about it last weekend. Kristen welker following that story for us. Well be back again in about an hour, thank you so much there at the white house. And here in dallas, sarah, what youre watching at the moment, hospital official there is are talking about the Health Care Worker on board the cruise ship. What do we know about the latest in terms of that individual . Reporter well, richard, we know that this lab worker was actually a Lab Supervisor who went on this cruise with her partner. She has shown no signs, no symptoms of ebola and she is nearing the end of that 21day monitoring period. Still, she has been voluntarily isolated along with her partner in her cabin, cruise workers will sanitize the ship. They were denied access to mexico, had to skip that stop, it was a regularly scheduled stop. On their way back, theyre expected in the u. S. Tomorrow morning. Some passengers tweeted out their frustrations and take on the situation, one saying no updates about the situation. They keep giving us free booze and turning up the music. The same passenger expressing concern they may be quarantined when they reach here. It is important to note however, the individual is not showing any signs and symptoms. The cdc reiterating that only a person with active symptoms can affect others with ebola right now. As for the cdc guidelines you mentioned a little earlier, here is what we can expect for them. It is in regard to the personal protective equipment that Health Care Workers wear when treating suspected or confirmed cases of ebola. The cdc will urge workers to cover all skin using alcoholbased sanitizer on the outside of their protective gloves. They want them to begin setting up a dressing room outside the medical care area. And they want to implement a buddy system. Two people at a time to watch each other and help each other out, look for problems they may not see, or just that supportive care. The cdc says the key to all of this of course is practice, practice, practice, they want them to run through drills and procedures long before an ebola patient shows up. It is somewhat routine, not unknown, they take away the element of the unknown from it, richard. Sarah, youre mentioning the new cdc guidelines, now, doctor, looking at that list that came from bloomberg that sarah has then described to us. When i look at that list, just quickly, you heard it. Cover all skin, alcoholbased cleaner, some of those dont seem so new, what is your thought on these new cdc guidelines that theyre calling them . Well, i think the guidelines are fine. It kind of misses the point. Were seeing the situation evolving where any hospital in the United States should be able to anticipate the possibilities that an ebola patient could walk into the emergency room. That individual would have to be immediately isolated. Where i differ from others, i think that it is clear to extremely manage the ebola patient in the icu. This virus has the remarkable ability to replicate. So that in the end stages of the disease the person is actually filled with the virus, there are billions and billions of the particles. Those kind of patients in the advanced icu setting can only be taken care of in specialized facilities that have biocontainment and nurses who are trained every day on a weekly basis on how to do this ppe, again, the virus is very different in the early versus the latest stages. What youre saying here, go with the Isolation Centers across the country, dont try to enable all the hospitals across the country through the guidelines, in essence, youre not agreeing with the process so far . Well, i agree with some of it. Right now were talking about one ebola patient, i hope there will be no other ebola patients, maybe one or two. If we get ten ebola patients or 20 or 30, we may be forced to have Community Hospitals learn this kind of thing. But right now were not and i think that is going to be very important to think about getting the patients out of the Community Hospitals in the specialized four or five Treatment Facilities. And then we announced in texas this week well add a fifth one. So dr. , youre really talking about all the logistics around, trying to coordinate all the different hospitals. You mentioned the addition in dallas, so lets go to dallas where sarah is at. The headline i read in the Dallas Morning News as they try to put together all the details that the doctor is mentioning here. It says new ebola czar lacks medical background, the critics say. What is your reaction to that in dallas . Do they feel like this new coordinator will help to bring confidence and coordination to the problem . Reporter well, theyre hopeful. The hospital has not responded to it directly. But theyre hopeful in the community, not only that this ebola communicator will be able to organize. Theyre already advising another hospital here, they themselves have received advice from Emory University hospital. So it is a matter of seeing what mistakes or what things can be improved upon here, and the inevitable, it is important to note here that one of the problems that they have identified is that the nurses in some cases, or the Health Care Workers were actually being too cautious. They were wearing too many layers of gloves out of concern, that was actually making them more vulnerable when it came to the removal process. And there is a lot of opportunities for mistake in the removal process anyway, let alone when you add extra layers to that process. And speaking to the nurses, when we look again at nina pham and her issue, she was getting blood transfusions, we understand. Do these work . Do you expect the survivors to have a better opportunity to survive this infection . So while there is still very little virus in the person at the early stages of the illness, like nina pham catching this very early on it is possible to intervene. We have limited options, however, one of them is to give antibodies, for a person to survive their illness, what we describe as passing passively antibody, you dont need the whole blood or the red cells, you only need the serum, that can be life saving and i believe it can alter the course of the infection. Great conversation, thank you both. Thank you, thank you for having me. Right now hundreds of u. S. Troops are in west africa to help fight the ebola outbreak. Coming up, ill talk to a retired fourstar general about what is being done to make sure our troops are safe. This morning, the u. S.

Not everyone can be a foster parent. But anyone can help a foster child. About an hour ago, authorities let us know that theyre pursuing a new lead in the search for eric frein there in pennsylvania. Frein is accused of fatally shooting one state trooper and wounding another one last month. Just this past night, overnight, we had a sight where were sight a high level of credibility, reported in the pocono mountains. An individual was observed with frein, carrying a rifle. The individuals face was covered with mud so a positive identification could not be made. A search of that area is ongoing as we speak. Well, frein has been on the run since september 12th when police say he opened fire on the trooper there in pike county, pennsylvania. Frein accused of killing the trooper and wounding alex douglas in that attack. And bermuda, assessing the damage after hurricane gonzalo smashed the island last night, trees and power lines downed, businesses without power, this is the second storm to hit bermuda just this week. Meteorologist dylan dwyer has more. Reporter the eye of the storm came through a little bit after 8 30. And all of a sudden, it just calmed down. There was not even the slightest breeze out here. But then the back side of the storm made its way onshore and it just pounded bermuda for hours with wind gusts as high as is 44 miles per hour. One of the highest gusts weve seen out of this storm system of course in the higher elevations. Power was knocked out at one point to 85 of customers. Here at the hotel we had had a generator so we are up and running. We felt the wind at the hotels, the wind was so strong, the doors and windows all rattling. I ended up spending the day in the bathroom to play it safe because this is actually the strongest hurricane i have ever been in and the strongest hurricane that bermuda has seen since 2003, it was in 2003 that hurricane fabian was here, and washed out the connection to the airport. There was a concern it could happen again because there is only a temporary bridge to the airport. But engineers are out assessing it so it did not get washed want and there is actually hope that the airport could be reopened at some point this weekend. Richard . Dylan, thank you so much for that. But it is not only gonzalo, as you know, there is also hurricane ana, making its approach to hawaii, and well have the update on ana later on, stick around for that.

That puts jim at a greater risk of stroke. For years, jims medicine tied him to a monthly trip to the clinic to get his blood tested. But now, with onceaday xarelto®, jims on the move. Jims doctor recommended xarelto®. Like warfarin, xarelto® is proven effective to reduce afibrelated stroke risk. But xarelto® is the first and only onceaday prescription blood thinner for patients with afib not caused by a heart valve problem, that doesnt require regular blood monitoring. So jims not tied to that monitoring routine. Gps proceed to the designated route. Not today. For patients currently well managed on warfarin, there is limited information on how xarelto® and warfarin compare in reducing the risk of stroke. Xarelto® is just one pill a day taken with the evening meal. Plus, with no known dietary restrictions, jim can eat the Healthy Foods he likes. Dont stop taking xarelto®, rivaroxaban, unless your doctor tells you to. While taking xarelto®, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. Xarelto® may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. Xarelto® can cause serious bleeding, and in rare cases, may be fatal. Get help right away if you develop unexpected bleeding, unusual bruising, or tingling. If you have had spinal anesthesia while on xarelto®, watch for back pain or any nerve or muscle related signs or symptoms. Do not take xarelto® if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. Tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. Before starting xarelto®, tell your doctor about any conditions such as kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. Jim changed his routine. Ask your doctor about xarelto®.
