Protocols, including isolating the patient. The symptoms usually dont present themselves until 2 to 21 days after a person is exposed. And exposure requires a person come into contact with someone who is already infected. Contact with bodily fluids, especially. That can make Health Care Workers among the most susceptible. As for any patient with ebola, there is no cure and only the symptoms can be treated. Some of my best students became physicians and they know what theyre doing. I just wish they would have told us sooner. Reporter the centers for Disease Control says monitoring a patient is vital, especially when you consider that other diseases like malaria can often present some of the same symptoms. I think its very important that any faculty of the University Take the right precautions to protect themselves and be knowledgeable about the situation going on today. Reporter lets put this in perspective. Since late july, there have been 100 consultations. Thats where a local hospital or authority will contact the cdc and say, hey, weve got someone who looks like they have ebola. Out of that 100, 15 have resulted in tests. And out of those 15 tests, theres only been one confirmed case. And hopefully officials here are thinking thats not what they have. We are live in northwest. Derrick ward, news4. Thank you, derrick. Team coverage continues with news4s Jackie Bensen outside shady grove where another individual is being monitored tonight. Jackie. Reporter the information we have from shady grove should inspire confidence that this system we saw break down a little bit in dallas, this Public Health system, is working. Now what were told by the hospital is that within the past 24 hours, they received a patient who presented with flulike symptoms at a travel history that matches criteria for possible ebola. The care team implemented guidelines established by the cdc. The patient remains in isolation and is showing signs of improvement. And at this time, lab tests indicate the patient has another illness, and we do not have a confirmed case of ebola. And, again, it is very likely that we will see things like this from hospitals throughout this area. Remember, were a very international area. People come here from all over the world. As this progresses forward. That first line system of emergency room personnel spotting things and taking the right steps sounds like they did exactly what they were supposed today here. Live in rockville, Jackie Bensen, news4. Thanks, jackie. Just getting information from our sister station in richmond, where two people from virginia are now being tested for the ebola virus. The department of health says theyre being isolated, because they recently traveled to western africa. So far, there are no confirmed cases in the commonwealth. But Public Health teams here and across the country have intensified their effort to make sure they prevent the deadly virus from spreading. Nbcs jay gray has developments from dallas, texas. Reporter this afternoon, hazmat teams cleared away items inside the apartment where dallas ebola patient Thomas Eric Duncan spent several days before being rushed to the hospital. And where four people who were with him have been ordered to stay inside with no visitors. Duncan is still in a hospital Isolation Unit and serious but stable condition, while at least 17 people, including children in the dallas area, are being monitored daily by experts from the centers for Disease Control. Doctors are also keeping a close eye on a patient in washington who say they have recently traveled to west africa and show early symptoms of the disease. The key elements to that control and the prevention of outbreaks when ebola rises in a community is to first identify cases, isolate them, care for them on the condition that protect the Health Care Workers and importantly, perform contact tracing. Reporter asmoke u mukpo tested positive while work with dr. Nancy snyderman in man rovia and is quarantined. Hell return for treatment this weekend. The fear is he becomes sicker before we have a chance to transport him. And thats the big concern we have now. Reporter the same medevac transport will also bring dr. Schneiderman and three other nbc staffers back to the states where theyll be in isolation for the next 21 days. The rest of my team very healthy. Bev within extraordinarily vigilant. Reporter to this point, no other member of the team has shown any symptoms of the virus. Jay gray, nbc news, dallas. Right now, doctors across the country are on high alert for possible ebola cases. One factor, whether patients have traveled within the past 21 days to west africa. And if they do find a suspended case, the centers for Disease Control says hospitals should isolate patients and notify local and state health departments.

Her 13monthold daughter was in the back seat, unharmed. The officers were cleared. Supporters with the family today point to recent Security Breaches at the white house where nonlethal means of force were used. I maintain that this sister here offered no clear and present danger to that Police Officer when she obliged to turn around and go the opposite direction. Miriam carey. Miriam carey. Miriam carey. Miriam carey. Miriam carey. Miriam carey. Reporter they repeated her name five times. Once for each time she was shot. They released butterflies that marched the path carey drove that day.

Metro says its going to have to shut down part of the red line for seven consecutive weekends. Im adam tuss. Well tell you when and where, coming up. Huh, fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more on car insurance. Everybody knows that. Well, did you know you that former pro Football Player ickey woods will celebrate almost anything . Unhuh. Number 44. Whoooo fortyfour, thats me get some cold cuts. Get some cold cuts. Get some cold cuts whooo gimme some geico. Fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more on car insurance. Whoo fortyfour ladies, thats me whoo. Gonna get some cold cuts today metro says it has no choice. Several stations will have to be closed over several weekends so crews can fix water problems. The shutdown will affect the grovener and bethesda stations. Adam tuss is in bethesda with all the details. This is going to be a challenge for people, isnt it, adam . Reporter certainly will be, doreen. And metro says its going to have to shut down this section of the red line for seven concluded weekends to get a handle on the problem. Theres no place else that has a issue that is this unmanageable. And it is costing us this much money. Reporter 3 million bucks a year to constantly fix the switches and components beneath the Medical Center station. The problem is that the geology allows water to trickle through the old rock here on a sunny day. When it rains it really gushes. That leaves mud, dirt, debris and wornout parts. We are spending, money and time and effort where we would rather put someplace else. Reporter they have come up with a plan to stop the leaks. The rail chief sat down with news4 to explain it all. What well be doing is putting in basically its like a false roof where well be able to come in with these precast panels. These precast panels will interlock. Reporter one by one, those Precast Concrete panels will be lifted into place, a slow and tedious process. The reason why metro will have to close this section of the rail line for seven consecutive weekends. That work will happen in 2016, but metro has to get ready for the work right now, which means some closures up until that point. And metro says it will use the closures to also upgrade the bethesda station, make adjustments for the planned purple line and fix peers which carry over Rockville Pike near grovener. And when the rail line shuts down, of course, that means riders will have to jump to the bus. Shuttle buses will be set up along already busy wisconsin avenue. Reporting live at Medical Center, adam tuss, news4. We are prepared over the long run to confront epidemics such as the one were facing today. Fastmoving developments here in washington today. Doctors are now monitoring more people across the u. S. For possible symptoms of ebola, including testing two people in virginia. It is the latest in a long string of crises that have really put a lot of americans on edge. It seems like a long week between ebola and the secret service issues. And this afternoon another isis execution. Chuck todd meet the press moderator. The white house, cdc, everybody was together for a News Conference this afternoon. Is it enough . I hope so. Its something they should have done a couple weeks ago, to be honest. I think there is a sort of maybe a creditability gap with the government and part of it is their own making. All of this has been accumulating over time, where i think the public feels as if the government seems a step behind on everything. I hope theyre not a step behind on ebola. Right. And i think today this was an attempt to have a show of force. And you saw different agencies coming togeth. But you have to wonder, where was where was this ten days ago . I mean, because i think the public is in a little bit of a frankly, in a panic about it. And i understand the anxiety, because my gosh, look at everything thats been happening the last couple weeks and does seem as if government has been a step behind. The president himself, through his own intelligence under the bus when they said they underplayed it. So why shouldnt the American Public be anxious . The president several weeks ago was sendi out troops, but maybe the message wasnt wasnt conveyed. I think you needed to have that show of force we saw today and maybe that is the beginning of sort of calming the nerves down of the American Public. Yeah, and some of that aid has been slow to get there, we know that. And now the military doubling the number of soldiers. Theres that, but ill tell you, im hearing from folks who say why are we sending more americans there . Arent they going to bring the disease back . And i think its that, frankly, lack of understanding of how ebola does spread and how it doesnt spread. Its something the government needs to get its arms around, because i think thats the part of the community. We have tried to do our best, our own dr. Nancy snyderman try to explain, this isnt something youre just going to catch if you sit next to somebody in an airplane. I think the public is nervous theyre not getting the full information. Ebola probably one of the things secret service, isis now also doing 29 days to the election. So were going to have some politics too of some new polls. Ill have former virginia senator jim web on the show. Hes thinking about running for president. Ill have somebody from the white house. A new set. Weve got a new set. Always fun. Construction going on buzzing its going to be ready. Weve actually teased it around. I think people can see it now. There it is. Look at it. And thats how we started this about ten minutes ago. And as you can see, done. There it is. Weve just got to move ladders out of the way. Fancy. Its fun. A lot more campaign stuff up there. Maybe even a few sports items or two. Okay. We look forward to it. Thank you, chuck. Thanks, chuck. And a reminder about our coverage of the virginia u. S. Senate race next week.

So good for us. But now weve got about 12 hours of on off rain coming our way. Will it be anything heavy . I dont think so. Some moderate rain in spots, yes. But no White Knuckle driving for us. Lets talk about the intensity of the rain if you are going to be going out. Im talking about the next 12 hours. This will take you right up into the morning hours. The big umbrella, the golfsize umbrella, uhuh. Go with a regular size. Its not going to be too crazy. Ill show the rainfall amounts getting out of this weather system. Here is storm team 4 radar. You can see the rain advancing eastward into our area. Has not been moving at a very fast pace, but moving eastward. So that leading edge coming into Loudoun County will advance to purcellville and hamilton in the next couple minutes. Dover by 6 35. Yes coming into Fauquier County around culpeper, an hour and twenty, thirty minutes from getting into d. C. As promised, showers between 7 00. 72 degrees. So rain, rain and more rain for the overnight period where its 66 by 11 00 p. M. The rainfall totals from this system i think when it moves out somewhere between a quarter and a third of an inch. Not too heavy. We certainly have had enough rain and that rainfall should not interfere with fall colors, but the wind i think on saturday might. Lets talk about your future weather here next 48 hours. This this is 8 00 this evening. Showers coming into the area. Here we are, Early Morning hours at 2 00 a. M. The bulk of the rain already starting to make its way eastward and out of the area. There is right around i95, and d. C. Leonardtown and areas down south around fredericksburg. And for anne arundel county, the coastal Flood Warning continues until 6 00 a. M. Because of the strong south easterly winds so minor flooding around the naval academy. The front itself moves out of our area by 7 00 to 8 00 a. M. Tomorrow morning and when it does, gets windy. Well get sunshine in here tomorrow. So that at least is going to help.
