that is it for us. thank you for joining us. >> ac "360" starts right now. good evening. thank you for joining us tonight. 360 exclusive in the fast moving and now more deeply troubling story of ebola in america. our conversation with the woman who thomas duncan patient zero was staying with when he first fell ill. she and mr. duncan have a child together. when we spoke earlier today we agreed to use her first name, louise. some of what she told us was frankly confounding. a few of the news worthy details of the conversation were released. we are going to hear all the details in a moment. particularly the fact that the sheets that thomas duncan used, slept in, sweated on, was sick in, the, in the bed that they shared together, those sheets

are still on the bed even though this woman louise is in quaur ante. the soiled towels she has in the apartment. she was told to put them in a plastic bag. she did. they're still there. we checked with her. they have not been collected. she is waiting for them to be picked up. she has no idea what to do with these sheets. that the first ebola patient in the united states slept in and used. we are going to have first, a bit more background on louise. the one who accompanied mr. duncan to the hospital last thursday night. and took him home when doctors mistakenly discharged him. for the next three nights she slept beside him, watched his condition deteriorate, saw him break out in fever, sweat, run repeatedly to the bathroom. tonight louise and three others are under county mandated quarantine, not in hospital isolation ward, in her northeast dallas apartment. health officials are tracing the other people possibly up to 100 in all, 100 in all who mr. duncan may have come in contact

with. all of this raising a lot of serious questions. questions that will not be answered tonight by any officials involved. invited them all on the program. they declined. here is part one of my exclusive interview with louise. loui louise, tell me what happened. when did you realize thomas was sick? >> it was on tuesday. tuesday he had a headache and all night fever that's huh i real ied he was sec. >> how long had he been here, five days is that right? >> since saturday, saturday night. he came saturday night. and sunday, monday, tuesday, tuesday, to thursday before that he was not feeling well. >> when he came saturday, did you talk at all about ebola. he was coming from liberia. had he had any contact with anybody with ebola? >> no, no. he didn't tell me that he came

in contact with anybody with ebola. he did not. >> there was a report maybe he had contact with somebody or helped a woman with ebola. do you know anything about that? >> no, not that i'm concerned about. i have no idea. >> how high was his fever when you took him to the hospital? >> um, we checked his fever. it was, i think it was 100.1. the first time, you told them twice he had come from liberia. how quickly did they discharge him the first time. >> we were not there for maybe, around, four hours. we were there, but, for three and a half hours, four hours, there. >> and what prescriptions did they give him? >> eh, they just give him antibiotic prescription. >> so just to be clear, that first time you went, and twice you told them he is from liberia, nobody said anything to

you then about well, has he had any contact with somebody who may have had ebola? they didn't ask him about ebola? it didn't seem to register the fact that he came from liberia. >> no, they did not ask. >> he was having a lot of dia diarrh diarrhea. >> yes that's how the diarrhea started. he was not even using the bathroom until when he started taking that antibiotic. that's huh he started having diarrhea. >> okay. >> he still had a fever? >> yeah, and he run a fever. awe thought was friday you came home. how was he over the weekend? >> it was friday when he came home. and saturday he started with the diarrhea. >> what day did you end up going to the hospital again? >> it was sunday. sunday morning when i want to work, my daughter came back, to bring his tea. that's how she cam to him. he was sick. and she called the ambulance. >> it is your daughter who called the ambulance. what made her call the ambulance.

>> she said he was shaking, really shaking. hot fever and he was shaking. >> right. so did you go to the hospital? >> i went to the hospital right away. >> and were you able to see them there? >> through the glass. >> through the glass. >> they told you at that point, what did they say to you then? >> they said they were going to run through his, and do the blood test and get blood from him and his lab tests they're going to send it for to check him for ebola. >> so that was the first time they mentioned to you ebola? >> yes. >> when you heard that, what did you think? >> i was scary, i was so scary. >> how did you find out he had ebola? >> they called him, the cdc, they called me and told me that he had ebola. >> what did they till you then you needed to do? >> stay home. i needed to stay home and monitor my temp. they take my temperature. when they were going to be monitoring all of us.

my son should stay home. my nephew. everyone of us should stay home for 21 days. and we should not come outside. if we have to come outside on the porch but not down the stairs. >> what did you think when you heard that? >> scary. i was -- i'm scary. >> have you gone outside at all? >> no. i'm inside and they did not bring food here. they came late here last night with paperwork for us to sign that if we step outside they are going to take us -- they are going to take us to court. that we'll hae have committed a crime. for us time they had not brought us any food. any food. >> and again, you are going to hear this in the next part of the interview. the sheets that, mr. duncan used, sweated on, those sheets are still on the bed in her apartment. the pillowcases are still there. the soiled towels in a plastic bag. not, some sort of biohazard containment, bag, just a plastic

bag, said louise she put them in. waiting for word, for somebody to collect them. she doesn't know what to do with them. one welcome note. today. late after the debail, about the food. some did arrive. we are told, however this cannot be overstated. clean-up crews have not paid a visit to, take all those soiled items out of her apartment. part two of our conversation shortly. first bring our panel of experts, chief medical correspondent, dr. sanjay gupta, the doctor, director of center for disaster preparedness at columbia, and the author of many books, upcoming "ebola" history of a deadly virus. sanjay, thomas duncan symptoms, visits to the hospitals, you heard louise describe it. how clear sunny was, duncan arrived from liberia, told the person when she checked them in. the person asked for social security, he didn't have one from liberia. she told the health care worker as well. by her account the hospital didn't miss understand. they just didn't seem to

consider that this could be ebola. i think you are right. we heard the same thing from the hospital now. that jibed with her version of events. at first, remember anderson weave couldn't figure out what happened here. we heard the hospital hadn't asked and mr. duncan hadn't disclosed he was from liberia. we know that is not true. because the next day the hospital came back and said, well in fact, we did ask. we were told that he is from liberia. but somehow within the team, the health care team, the information got lost. somehow wasn't acted upon. that is a mess. that, that's low hanging fruit. you should be able to address these sorts of things talking about adequately be able to take care of patients with infectious diseases not let them turn into outbreaks. a miss. interesting when he came into the hospital with that sort of history it should have, should have raised some flags. for whatever reason, human error

it didn't, anderson. >> it seems strange louise didn't mention, the possibility of ebola. i mean she is from liberia. certainly knows what is happening in liberia. mr. duncan who has come from liberia, certainly knows what is going on in liberia. you think he might mention that to the people at the hospital. that didn't happen either. >> yeah, i didn't, i never heard that in fact ebola was mentioned by mr. duncan. that wasn't anywhere. obviously it is a consideration i think given what is happening in the world right now. to your point, anderson. sochl one comes in with fever of 100.1. first time came in wasn't having symptoms of diarrhea, nausea, vomiting that. could be a lot of thing thousands even if you returned from liberia. even in west africa you have lots of different diseases that can cause mild fever. that wasn't the pattern of events.

missed his travel history. they didn't investigate it further. while they may have been right in thinking about other things as a possibility here, the fact that they didn't consider ebola as a possibility was the crucial mistake. >> doctor, you mentioned yesterday to me. there have been big cutbacks in public health, disaster preparedness. what do you make of what louise has said so far? and also what does does this mean for other potential outbreaks out there, outbreaks that are airborne, potentially more dangerous? >> yes, we may have had a different problem with these outbreaks, even though 100 people could have been potentially exposed. but the point is this is a window in our health care system in general. the only good news in this story is that hopefully it got enough attention from you and others so that we don't have any hospital in the country that sends someone away who has history of being in west africa. that is the trigger. you come in with any fever, and

like sanjay says, it could be a lot of things, but right now, ebola until proven otherwise. >> should this be a wake-up call to the public health system, going through drills, hospitals to check their own procedures? because again if it is not this now it will be something else down the road. >> when we start to get hospitals ready to get ready for any disaster, we paying $500 million a year to all hospitals in the country to get themselves prepared. that number has dropped by 50% over the last seven, eight years. hospitals do not have the money. do not have the resources to do the ongrowi spongoing training. train, retrain. train the new staff that comes in. we are suffering some consequences of that cutback in these fund do that level. >> david. hearing louise how her son and nephew stayed in the apartment. her son is 13, nephews in their 20s. stayed in the apartment with duncan. her daughter went to make him

tea. she is the one who called the ambulance. louise later told me she doesn't think she was in the am but lens -- ambulance. took her car, maybe to the hospital. health officials are discussing, maybe 100 people duncan had can tact with. louise and her family are not showing any symptoms. starting to got a since of how fast a disease can spread. how much effort it takes to actually contain it, even this disease which is not airborne. >> that's right. that's right. and -- this, this thing about we know that it transfers by bodily fluids direct contact. but i was just reviewing tonight cdc report from the outbreak of ebola in zaire back in 1995. they were studying the risk factors of people who had gotten infected during that. one of the risk factors, a couple that they mention is sharing a hospital bed, or sharing a hospital meals, with a patient during the terminal phase of the illness, turned out to be risk factors for other

people becoming infected. >> that is definitely a concern. we are going to take a quick break. continue the conversation with our experts and also with louise. make sure you set your dvr so you can watch 360 whenever you like. coming up next, what louise told me about living in her apartment, steps away from soiled, hazardous items tonight still in that apartment. we'll be right back. ♪ there's confidence... then there's trusting your vehicle maintenance to ford service confidence. our expertise, technology, and high quality parts means your peace of mind. it's no wonder last year we sold over three million tires. and during the big tire event, get up to $140 in mail-in rebates on four select tires. ♪

before the break you heard thomas duncan's partner louise how he fell ill with ebola. how doctors saw him. told here came from liberia and sent him home. his condition was worse. for some of that time until the ambulance took him away. sweating. diarrhea. his body may have been shedding virus on to bathroom surfaces. the towels, the sheets. so here in part two of our conversation, she told the cdc about it. she says, right now the towels and sheets are still in that apartment. just steps away in the apartment that she and three others can no longer leave. >> who are you at home with?

>> with my son, my 13-year-old son, and [ bleep ], and [ bleep ]. >> just so i'm clear. the three kids you have with you, how old are they? >> 13 years old, 22 years old and eight years old, nephew. >> so the three kids who were there when he was there are quarantined with you? >> yes. >> and what about your daughter? >> my daughter lives here, she is 35, she is on her own. >> was she in the ambulance with thomas? >> no, she has her own car, i don't think she went with him on the way. she drove her car. >> but is she quarantined as well? >> i guess so. >> have you -- you haven't

talked to her? >> yeah, she is indoors, waiting for them over there, i think so because they took her kids to school. >> because she came in contact with thomas when he was sick, correct? she was helping to care for him, too, when she called the ambulance? >> she brought him some tea. she brought him tea. she fixed him tea, that is how she saw him and called the ambulance. >> there was a report that maybe thomas got sick outside the apartment. did you see that? or did you hear about that? >> no, thomas since he came he was always indoors. he was indoor. >> when you were caring for him did you get in contact with any fluids? >> not that i know of. >> did the cdc recommend that you clean your apartment? >> i told them i just -- my daughter brought me some clorox, and we put it on the mattresses, on the bed, and on the clothes, the plastic bags. but they said we should not throw anything away until they

can get back with me. >> so the sheets that thomas used and the towels that he used, what have you done with those? >> yeah, in the plastic bag. >> in your apartment? >> uh-huh. >> so you took them off the bed. and then you put them into a plastic bag? >> no, under the shower in the plastic bags. on the bed, everything is on the bed. >> so the sheets that he used, that he slept on is still on the bed? >> yeah. >> did the cdc talk to you about that at all? >> they told me they're going to get back with me. i told them that we are not going to use this stuff anymore. neither the bed, we're not going to use any of those things.

and if they're going to come back and tell me how to get rid of them. >> so is anybody sleeping in the bed right now? >> no, sleeping in the living room. >> in the living room. so those are the sheets that you were using too. that was the bed you were using, when did you stop using that bed? >> on tuesday. >> how are you coping with this? >> i'm just hanging in there, depending on god to save our lives. >> depending on god to save your lives. >> yes, at the time let us be free. because people are telling lies. >> so you feel like people are not informed about how you get ebola, you actually have to come in contact with the bodily fluids of somebody that is not only infected but is sick with ebola. >> yeah, we are not sick with

ebola. >> and at this point, even if you had ebola, you are not showing any signs so you would not be able to infect anybody else and you want to get that message across? >> yes, for them to leave me alone, leave my kids alone. >> and you're -- how often are you checking yourself for fever? >> every hour. >> every hour. wow. and does the cdc come to check you or is that something you just do yourself because you're a caregiver? >> yeah, they tell me yesterday, they say they will come every day until the 21 days is over. >> have you been able to talk to thomas at all? >> yes, i speak with him every day. i called him this morning. >> how is he doing? >> he is trying, he slept well last night.

>> well, i can't imagine how scary this is for you and for your whole family. >> we can't wait to get over with everything. we can't wait. >> well, louise, thank you so much for talking to us. and please, you know, tell thomas that we are thinking of him and praying for him. and for your whole family and we will continue to do so. thank you. >> okay. thanks. >> back with our panel, sanjay gupta, what did you make of that? louise describing the waste in her apartment, how can health officials have left it that way? >> you know, i hate to keep talking about missteps with this whole situation. but it is another one here. you have the situation where this guy was clearly very sick. it is essentially almost active like a hospital room, this bedroom where he was staying. and you know, we know ebola as a virus can live outside the body. so the fact these sheets, towels

can be contaminated. they were not cleaned. she had no instruction what to do with it. in the hospital where patients are treated, emory, biocontainment bags would have been brought in here, and they would have been incinerated. but just the lack of humanity with it overall, she is already dealing with the sickness of mr. duncan, it is hard to imagine. >> yeah, doctor, i am not in any way blaming louise here with this. she is coping as best as she can. does it surprise you that somebody is not coming in, telling her what to do with the dirty clothes, the sheets, you point out that stuff it is anything he used. >> of course, it is paper goods, silverware, anything he came in contact with or his bodily fluids came in contact with. this whole thing is actually hair-raising. on one hand, she said somebody from the cdc came to visit every

day. didn't they ask about the sheets, the towels, what is happening, how to handle those and so forth. and the fact they were still on the bed as of this afternoon is just absolutely remarkable. and you know the department of transportation said it is illegal for a typical waste hauler to take this stuff. it has to be people with appropriate training and very specific protocols that they have to follow. so this whole thing is increasingly bizarre as you think about how it is unfolding. if in fact there was a health care worker there every day, what exactly were they doing other than just taking a temperature and leaving. there should have been a whole lot more that she should have been and could have been expecting from the local health department. >> and she talked about neighbors reacting badly when they talk about ebola case. she knows they can't catch ebola from her unless they show symptoms. but her neighbors seem not to

have gotten that message. but louise is concerned about her son in college, concerned about people pointing the finger at him even though she says he had no contact with his father, mr. duncan. >> you're right, it is repeating the patterns that we've seen in african villages. people who have loved ones who are infected, people who survive get ostracized in certain cases. there is so much fear and lack of understanding, that they face social rejection. but anderson, there is one thing, it is not just an urgent thing to test him, just as kent brantly and nancy writebol. we don't really know yet as far as i have heard up to recently, we don't really know exactly how ebola kills people. about exactly how it destroys the human body. and we need to learn more about that. carl johnson, one of the great infectious disease pioneers, the fellow who led the first outbreak response against ebola in 1976. carl johnson told me six years ago, we don't understand how this disease works. people are afraid to study it and we won't understand how it affects the human body until we have it in captivity. until we have a patient in a good research hospital under control conditions to treat that. this is that opportunity. >> we have breaking news right

now, nbc news reported that one of their freelancers in africa diagnosed with ebola. he was hired as a second cameraman. an american, hired for nbc's chief medical correspondent dr. nancy snyderman. being flown back to the united states for treatment. nbc news reporting that one of their freelance cameramen has tested positive for ebola, is being flown back to the united states. sanjay, doctor, we'll continue talking about this further,

including how liberian officials say that thomas duncan managed to board a flight out of liberia, even though he had been helping patients with ebola, some who died from it.

welcome back to breaking news that we just learned another american has been diagnosed with ebola. according to nbc news he is a freelance cameraman hired to work with chief medical correspondent dr. nancy snyderman in liberia. he first showed symptoms yesterday and is being flown back to the united states for further treatment. tonight's other breaking news cnn exclusive for the first time we're hearing from the friend thomas duncan has been staying with. the mother of his son who is now under quarantine. and new revelations on how he fell sick. there are questions if mr. duncan lied if he was exposed to liberia. experts say he flagged a no, witnesses say he helped ebola patients, including a pregnant

woman who later died. >> he has gone there, instead of waiting, put some americans in a state of fear. and put them at some risks. so i feel very saddened by that and very angry with him, to tell you the truth. the fact that he knew and he left the country is unpardonable, quite frankly. >> the president said she would consult with lawyers to decide what to do with him when he returned home. today, we learned the military is sending 700 more troops and civil engineers to liberia to contain the epidemic. 200 troops have already been deployed. so elizabeth, you trained with these troops before they left for liberia, what exactly did they test you for? what did they ask you? what did they test you for? >> reporter: right, i left liberia about a week after mr. duncan did. they don't test you for anything because there is no ebola test. but they take your temperature three times before you leave. they ask you a series of questions. you're handed a clip board with

questions on it. they want to know if you feel sick, vomiting, all those questions. then there is a series of what they call exposure questions. and one of those questions is, have you had contact with somebody who has ebola or in contact with their bodily fluids. and that is what we're hearing that mr. duncan said no to that question, even though there appears to be quite a bit of evidence that he actually did have contact with an ebola patient. >> what is interesting, elizabeth, we hear they're tightly screening and taking the temperature three times. but the reality is, it is really self-purporting. they're essentially relying on the passengers to tell the

truth. and if somebody has come in contact with ebola and wants to get out of liberia or wants to get on a plane just because they have business to tend to, there is a high likelihood that somebody is not going to tell the truth. >> reporter: absolutely, it is completely the honor system. once you have symptoms they will catch you because the nurses are looking at you, taking your temperature. but if you're in the incubation period, anderson i was on your show in august, i said the nightmare scenario is that somebody is infected with ebola. but has no signs yet. they hop on a plane and a couple of days later they get sick in the u.s. and i hate to say -- i don't mean to sound like i have a crystal ball. and the other layer of it is that hospitals were really not prepared for it. you have a liberian man walking into a hospital with a fever and nobody catches it. >> and let's be honest, it is likely to happen again, somebody not showing symptoms is likely to come here again. thank you, elizabeth cohen, the question is will all hospitals learn from it, will the next

time somebody presents will it be handled differently.

nbc news is reporting an american refranfreelance camera and the friend thomas duncan's friend, mother of his son is speaking out for the first time in a cnn exclusive. i spoke to her earlier today. and united airlines is voluntarily reaching out to passengers who were on two flights that thomas duncan took, the flight from brussels to washington, dulles, flight 822 from washington dulles to dallas, ft. worth. >> sanjay, want to ask you about, the american cameraman working for nbc, diagnosed with ebola. you have been reading details. what do you make of this? >> this is an american, working,

living in liberia three years on various projects. he has been there some time. what is interesting, just this past tuesday, i guess where he started working for nbc, probably on this new project with nancy snyderman. and wednesday, he, notice heed had a fever. getting a routine fever check. why he was getting a routine fever check, unclear, maybe he was worried about an ex-pope sure. regardless, that fever check showed that in fact he did have a slight fever. and at that point, it went to the doctors without borders camp. camp and he was tested. took about 12 hours for the test to come back and it came back positive for ebola. don't know how sick he is certainly at this point but he is flown back to the united states to get treatment as you heard. >> doctor, you and i talked about this before the break. again, the health care system relies on people at the airport to self-report. and somebody who -- if it is

true that mr. duncan had been in contact with an ebola patient who died, a woman who he had been helping it is very possible he just wanted to get out of liberia in order to get to a place where there was better medical treatment and it is possible he wanted to get out, and not tell the truth. or somebody could not tell the truth because they wanted on the flight. >> he actually was helping a person who was rejected from the hospital because they wouldn't take her. he knows the hospital won't take him. he says i'm exposed, perhaps, where would i rather be, in liberia or the united states or some other western country, and i think that would be a big motivator, and would be for most of us if we were facing the dilemma of having ebola. but we're depending on a lot of self-reporting in making the determination on what needs to happen. >> david, there are those who say there should not be flights accepted from liberia to the united states.

or even flights that have connected through europe. that is not even really possible. i mean, given -- first of all i don't think there are flights that directly connect from monrovia to the united states. it is virtually impossible from a town like that to track somebody. >> it is virtually impossible to track somebody, and impossible really to seal off the connections. isolation is very important for dealing with this disease. but that means isolation of individual cases. you can't isolate neighborhoods or nations. it doesn't work. and people talk about well, we should not allow any flights in from liberia. i mean, we in america, how dare we turn our backs on liberia given the fact that this is a country that was founded in the 1820s, 1830s because of american slavery. we have a responsibility to stay

connected with them. and help them see this through. >> doctor, i want to ask you a question that comes from one of our viewers. she asks, can you only get it once like chicken pox or can you get it more than once like the flu? >> they get the antibody built up -- i'm actually not sure about that. >> sanjay, do you know the answer to that? >> so there are five different strains, one is the zaire strain, so if you get it you are immunized. you still have to protect yourself from the other strains if you're back in one of those endemic areas. >> and sanjay, since they look like the flu for people who have been in africa, ken wants to ask if dr. sanjay gupta recommends ebola hospitals that have a standard testing for people with flu symptoms this coming season? >> no, no, we're not at that

point by any means, you know, certainly somebody who has flu-like symptoms but also has the very pertinent history. and has traveled through one of the countries where ebola is circulating. we're talking about guinea, sierra leone, you have to put a bunch of pieces of the puzzle you put together. have you been in contact with patients who have ttended a pub funeral? and even after that if you have a fever and are coming from one of these countries there are still other parts of the pieces you put together. there are certain blood values, they indicate your ability to clot the blood is decreasing. there are many components to this history. the travel and symptoms are two big ones. >> the scary part of this, doctor you talked about this a lot. depending on people to be honest, depending on people to self-report and to be honest. and it -- you know, i mean -- >> there are so many links in the chain, anderson, even when the person is triaged in the hospital in the united states, the information that i have traveled to in one of these

countries that has to go someplace and go someplace and be absorbed into the diagnostic procedures that are happening there. because if somebody says, "oh, yeah, i've been there and it is written down and nothing happens to it, again there are many, many human realities in this chain. >> doctor, great to have you on again, thank you, up next, a 13-year-old boy caught in the middle of this ebola scare. he is in quarantine, because he was in the apartment where thomas duncan became sick. he is in the apartment with louise, tonight his father speaks out. >> he can't leave the house. >> because he had contact with the man who has ebola. >> right. >> it must be very scary for you as his father. >> i'm scared. exactingly precise. desire for such things often outpaces one's means. until now. hey matt, new jetta? yeah.
