leave liberia after contracting the disease. ashoka mukpo has been working in liberia on various projects for the past three years tested positive for the virus yesterday. he's been working our own dr. nancy schneiderman who is leaving the country who is self-quarantining herself and the rest of the crew for 21 days. dr. nancy gave a little more insight on what is going on. >> we were working into a work space when he told us he wasn't feeling well. he joined us 72 hours earlier as an independent journalist. he visited the country two weeks prior to that. my suspicious he was infected before he met him and began symptoms once we met him. we shared vehicles, workplace,

equipment. everyone here is hyper alert. we haven't been in close promise s proximity. we're being hyper vigilant we're at very low risks of becoming ill. >> also this morning there's new information about how thomas eric duncan was initially sent home from a dallas hospital. the hospital says he told the nurse he had not been around anyone ill. he said the same thing before boarding a plane to leave liberia days earlier even though as nbc news reported duncan helped and carried a pregnant woman who died of ebola. they'll prosecute duncan for lying on an airport questionnaire. charles is joining us outside the hospital. what is the hospital saying about duncan's first visit there and where are authorities in tracking down those with bhom he had contact. >> hi. it was a week ago today that eric duncan came to the hospital

seeking treatment for abdominal pain and severe headache. why he wasn't kept overnight and observed for ebola at that time is a very good question. but the hospital has been investigating it and they come up with an answer. they say it was a software flaw that when mr. duncan came into the emergency room the nurses there took down all the information including a question about where he had been. he admitted he had come from west africa. that information was entered into the computer data base. but there is a software flaw that did not allow the doctors who were treating this patient to see that information. they since corrected the software flaw and informed other hospitals that what they experienced here so in case there's another ebola patient coming into a hospital it won't happen in the same manner. in terms of the 100 people in the circle that cdc and other health officials are trying to

find, they think they found most of them. these are the people that may or may not have come in contact with mr. duncan during the five days he was in dallas before he was entered into hdallas. those have included children from the school system. they don't show any signs. they are not symptom attic. they were taken out of the school system in an abundance of caution. >> what about word that the family may be moving to another apartment unit. is that factually correct? is it rumored? do we know what it going on there? >> right now they're still in the apartment complex. a cleaning crew with specialized bio hazard cleaning crew is coming into the apartment today to clean it up. that's where mr. duncan was staying. he was staying in beds there. the beds sheets are soiled, towelled things like that need to be disposed of properly. they're going to do that. whether the family is moved out temporarily or moving enter else

we haven't been told that. for now the four people in the apartment will stay there for the next 21 days under orders from the stay. >> thanks. i would like to bring in a health director of time magazine. time's new cover is "chasing ebola" featuring stories from america and west africa. joining us dr. frank. welcome to you. doctor, i want take couple bridge to what charles was talking about. the way information was handled in the dallas er. you have the patient saying he's been to liberia. it was put in a form. it's a software malfunction. i've been in ers with my families many times. i would like to think that doctors and nurses spooep speak together about their patients. what happened here? >> if you're asking how did this, you know, get missed, unfortunately that's a problem when you're talking about such a very high throughput and very

busy emergency department. where you're going have individuals who take a lot of information and pass the information on to the next individual who may pass it on to a third individual. there's going to be information lost. the software malfunction if that's what happened i don't necessarily know how any physician or nurse could have expected that. there's a lot of times we need to re-ask questions we need to reinvestigate other possibilities even if it doesn't show up on initial reports from the nursing staff. >> on the heeling of this, one of the headlines in the dallas morning news here is what it reads. many people living in the apartment complex they hear about people getting sick. they think it's the flu. they're not clear what is going on. perhaps unaware of the crisis of ebola. that part of the problem here. can it be translated to what happened to the hospital. you don't initially think ebola.

>> i think yes. flu season is upon us. there's that as well. some of the early symptoms of ebola, fever, abdominal pain can be easily mistaken for something else. that's why the critical step at the hospital is important. a mistake was made. a lesson has been learned. an alarm has been sounded across the country. everyone needs to be asked about their travel history. >> doctor, we have the liberian authorities saying they're going to prosecute mr. duncan because he allegedly lied answering no when he answered no he had been in help with the ebola. should there be a duty to inform the airline coming here if passengers are worried about potentially sick or showing symptoms? >> it's something that the

department of transportation and fa arka instituted for many mon. for those leaving infected regions and traveling. the airlines themselves have the authority to deny transport to anyone infected. anyone they feel could be contagious. unfortunately because the incubation period is so long they can be without any feeling sick at all for weeks before they develop the signs and symptoms of the disease. i'm sure he felt fine and he was reporting what he felt. he wasn't being very truthful about his contacts. he probably doesn't understand the disease he can feel fine but that contact can be contagious. it leads to the tipping point. you talk about what has been written in time magazine. the articles explain there's a tipping point when you have an

epidem epidemic. the point of the infected patients so large it overwhelms any size army of health care workers. how close are we to the tipping point? ? in west africa it's a crisis. we have one case in the united states and we have a robust health care system that has the ability to contain the virus here. contain the fear is another thing. containing the virus is the united states is a solvable problem. there's a surge now in west africa. it's too late. people were sounding the alarms in april and may. it's not too late to do anything but later than it should have been. >> thank you so much. coming up separating fact from fiction on ebola. dr. natalie will join us. you can tweet your questions using #ebolaanswers or ebola

it's a fresh approach on education-- superintendent of public instruction tom torlakson's blueprint for great schools. torlakson's blueprint outlines how investing in our schools will reduce class sizes, bring back music and art, and provide a well-rounded education. and torlakson's plan calls for more parental involvement. spending decisions about our education dollars should be made by parents and teachers, not by politicians. tell tom torlakson to keep fighting for a plan that invests in our public schools. developing now dangerous storms that have caused severe damage in texas are moving

across the country. in dallas tv crews who were set up to cover the ebola crisis had trouble keeping their tents up as the winds that reached 90 miles per hour blew through. 41 schools and one college is shut down there. it ripped the roof off a dorm in arlington baptist college. thousands today are without power and that same stretch of storms is spreading north and east right now. let's get the latest. i bring in weather channel meteorologist dr. greg postel. >> we had a major squall line move through. look at the graphingics here. you can see the line of storms that raced eastward from the southern plains and moved into overnight last night it moved into mississippi and western alabama. it continues to move eastward. thankfully right now it's not

nearly as strong as it was last night. look at the storm reports that this thing caused. all the dots in there. those are reports of high winds and/or hail. as i said we had wind gust ourselves 80 miles per hour and some hail reports up to 3 inches. that was one major squall line. this is what is left. not much thankfully so. there it is. it's basically cleared atlanta now getting red did toy go -- ry to go to macon. it might pick up a little bit in intensity. the air over here is still pretty warm and humid. we have to watch out for that for the possibility of strong winds. with some thunderstorms we could redevelop across the region. the good news is by about 9:00 to 10:00 tonight i think the storms will have cleared the coast and much cooler and drier air will begin to filter to the southeast. it won't just be there either. it's on the heels of a dip in the jet stream that is coming to

the ohio valley northeast. it's going to leave weekend temperatures way below average. look at the numbers on saturday. 68 in new york. 66 in atlanta. it's going to be warmer in new york than it is down here in atlanta. sunday not a whole lot warmer. in fact temperatures generally in the 60s way below average. thankfully those are weaker than they were last night. alex, back to you. >> thank you so much. turning now to what is being called one of the largest cyber attacks discovered at the financial institution jpmorgan chase said it's working with federal law enforcement officials to determine the full scope of a massive data breach believe to have impacted about 76 million households and 7 million small businesses, which is far more than the number of customers infected in recent breaches of target and home depot.

among those infected are customers are using chase and jpmorgan online or the mobile apps. joining me now identity theft expert adam levin. with a welcome to you. let's talk about the fcc filings, which the breach was disclosed. jpmorgan chase said no evidence that account information, passwords, user ids, birth dates, social security numbers all the vital information was comprised. it appears to be names, addresses, phone numbers, e-mail addresses, things like that. no reports of unusual fraud activity. how certain are you that the buck will stop here? >> it won't stop here. and the problem is that, yes, at the moment your account information is safe and your personal identifying information, as to your social security number, some of the more critical elements are safe. unfortunately, you can't just say just when it comes to name, address, phone number, and

e-mail address. because this opens you up to the trifecta of the phishing, phone-based phishing, and text phishing. and the problem it's a stealth breach. that is that you become an unwitting coconspirator in the theft of your own identity. where as it was a credit card breach. you change a credit card number and it's over then the issue is between the retailer and the financial institution. now you have to look over your shoulder. because at any moment, you could be receiving an e-mail or phone message or a text which directs you to go to a specific site and that site will ask you for information and it will be done in an emergency context like your account has been frozen. you have to call the bank immediately and that's the problem. >> yeah.

and the fact this was done through chase online jpmorgan chase accounts, the mobile apps. does that make sense to you? are these things not secure enough yet? >> well, you know, again the question -- because breaches have become the uncertainty in life. is anything really secure in and for years financial institutions have really been the role model for security developments when it comes to cybersecurity and all sorts of other security. the problem now is they're under constant attack. we as consumer and small business people are under constant attack and it is inevitable that every business will suffer a breach and every consumer will suffer some form of identity theft. so the issue now moves from just preventive measures to monitoring and every which way you can as a consumer. whether you look at credit reports as often as you can. you see free overview of your credit. >> changing passwords, by the

way. because remember something for many people, for many of their financial services and other accounts, their user id is their e-mail address. then hackers using brut force techniques can figure out with security questions what their passwords may be. as a result they're suddenly in. that's why people have to stay much more alert than ever before. this really is going to be the never ending journey. >> i'm curious about something that was reported in the new york times. people close to the information the quote reads by the time the bank security team discovered the breach in late july hackers obtained the highest level of administrative privilege to dozen of the computer servers. it happened in july they don't figure out until late july? >> the problem is when you have privileged access to servers, it appear s are somebody who would have been appropriate to have access to the computers. >> does it mean inside job? >> no. it's not an inside job.

an employee clicked on a link that allowed a hacker to crawl into their system and take over their e-mail. this has happened many times. to click on a link and take over whatever their credentials are that are necessary in order to have access. even though it isn't an inside job, it takes on the air of being an inside job. it's someone who had the right to have access who has been comprised and the basis of that comprise has now given the hacker access. >> it's extraordinary. thank you for coming on and talking with us about the details. i appreciate it. >> my pleasure. right now the investigation is underway into why a high school football player died during a game. he's the third to die in the past week. what can be done to keep the kids safe? also ahead, did ab com bee and fitch discriminate against a

athletic director of one new york school district is leading the investigation into a death of a 16-year-old football player who died after an-field tackle. hundreds gathered on the gridiron to mourn his death. it was the third involving a high school footballer in in the

past week. the news is raising questions about the safety of the sport. joining me now is espn. let's talk about the long island school district. they're looking at everything. the kind of hit he took, the equipment was used. how closely should the nfl be watching this? >> they should be following it so closely and they are. they recently released the details that they belief 30% of nfl players will develop some form of dementia. it's a huge blow to the nfl when you look at youth football. obviously that's feeding the nfl. we pay attention in the nfl because of the fantastic athletes and the amazing plays we see. youth participation in football is down. there are so many parents out there who will not let their sons play football right now. >> i was one of them.

i said you can play baseball. the quarterback died in alabama. he collapsed on the field after a big tackle. north carolina we found the linebacker who died after collapsing at a warmup. these are being investigated the cases. you think a lasting impact will come as a result of this? >> well, it's tough. obviously we don't know whether it was a brain aneurysm, a preexisting condition, a direct result of the hit. we don't know that stuff yet. what we know with the problem of football is not necessarily the crushing blows we see going, you know, the big impact hits going across the middle that we go oh, my goodness to. a lot of problems is the sub concussions. a lot of line men, the impact when the ball is snapped. those are the worse moments in football when we talk about brain injuries. you have a lot of people saying

let's pour a billion dollars into designing a new helmet. >> that will light up that will tell you the depth of the hit. there's nothing you can do to protect the brain from rattling around inside the skull. you can certainly protect the skull from rattling around inside the helmet, but there is no helmet that will protect your brain inside your head. >> even with a billion tlar infusion of trying to figure out what is going on. it could be worn by the nfl at some point. trickling down to high school kids? >> yeah. >> what is it in it for ththem? >> i have no clue. i see it as a top down bottom up. one being the class-action lawsuit that former nfl players are coming at the nfl with. right now there's $800 mlt million one to pay out health insurance to players affected. and where are the kids playing the sport? and in the next 15 to 20 years, i think they will collapse and you'll see a huge problem with

football in america. >> we're seeing it now. up next more on the breaking ebola news. an nbc cameraman infected. we have a doctor standing by to answer your questions. you can tweet us usin using #ebolaanswers. a report from nbc's dr. nancy schneiderman. she tracks down how the patient in texas became infected. the recent secret service missteps are creating anxiety and anger. what can the agency do to regain america's trust. what sparked the high speed chase that ended in a spectacular crash. wow! that was one of the stories we're following around the "newsnation." turn the trips you have to take,

the ebola outbreak. as we told you, the outbreak hit close to our home with a cameraman working for nbc news is being treated for the disease. he was working with dr. nancy schneiderman, prior to learning of her colleague's diagnosis, retraced the steps of the man with the first ebola case in america. she spoke with people who came in contact with duncan. >> thomas eric duncan is front page news here. his ebola trail starts in the small compound of homes and apartments outside monrovia. this is the front door of his apartment that he was renting in this small area. it was in the pink house across the courtyard with the young woman, pregnant and now infected with ebola was calling for help. jim was the taxi driver who picked up duncan, the young woman, her father, and brother.

>> you knew you were picking up sick pregnant girl but no idea at all that she was sick with ebola. >> no. no idea. >> they told him they were afraid she was about to miscarry. >> what did you see? how did she strike you? >> well, i saw her she was helpless. she was not able to walk by herself. >> he drove them to four hospitals. each turned them away. saying nothing could be done. >> where did you take them next? >> i brought them -- >> duncan was in the backseat and helped carry her out of the car. he was afraid to touch her. >> did you help her get out of the car? >> no, i did not help. >> she died two hours later. her brother died within days. and five days after that taxi ride thomas eric duncan flew to

the united states. dr. nancy sneiderman. right now msnbc is hosting a live fact versus fiction twitter chat you can join using t the #ebolaanswers. we can go to ebolaansweebolaanswers .msnb ebolaanswers .msnbc.com. joining me now is a doctor to help me answer your questions. thank you. this is from christina from twitter. she writes our certain demographics more susceptible to contracting ebola? >> similar to many other viruss, the main populations we think about are the elderly, the very young, or the comprised. it's people on chronic steroids or chemotherapy. this is just a virus. the same tenements are holding here true here as well. >> question two from msnbc.com community. what is the i think cincubation

time? >> we describe it from 2 to 21 days. the three week mark is the most important there. we do the contact tracing and want to follow people for 21 days. the average people start to show symptoms around day earliest. that's what this whole thing what they're doing is doing fever checks twice a day for 21 days. after that period if you haven't displayed any symptoms you're thought to be relatively in the clear. >> here is another one from twitter. it's interesting it involves what happens on the airplane. sneezes involve body fluids. can direct contact with sneeze drop lets be contagious. on an airplane, a small, contained lavatory there on which mr. duncan traveled. can a sneeze stay in that confined space? >> that's the thing. it seems like we're having difficulty answer that question. we're saying it's not are a pa

story born virus. a sneeze, technically, the drop lets from yourself is a body fluid. it doesn't have the viral lobe as the vomit or blood. the contagious is less. we talk about a confined space the virus can jump no longer than 3 feet. if you're sitting next to someone and it sneezes into you and it has to go into your mouth, nose, or eyes. not just on your skin. can't be absorbed by the pores. the skin is the best barrier to infection. it there's a cut in the skin or an open sore, somebody else's body fluid can have a portal. >> sweat? >> it's in the high list of vomit, fee ses and blood. >> i haven't heard any media

answering this. how long does it stay on shopping cart? >> it can roughly survive on a dry surface for a couple of hours. okay. i can't give you a beginning and end to that. a couple of hours. in puddles, on bet surface it is can last up to a few days. the big question mark is how long it can survive in soiled linens. we know the people are sick and having vomiting and diarrhea, the sheets they're in and the clothing they're wearing we don't know how long it can survive there. >> even in the per per ration in the sheets. >> yes. thank you so much. back to work. the doctor will continue to answer your questions online for the next couple of hours. you can join the conversation by using #ebolaanswers or ebolaanswers .msnbc.com. here is good news for the economy. labor department said employers added 240,000 jobs in september, which is well over what economists predicted.

the job search sent the nation's unemployment rate down to 9.5%. it's the lowest since 2008. it sparked a rally on wall street. the dow sup big time. 142 and change. nasdaq and s&p 500 up there. joining me now cnbc contributor. ron! i love talking about things that make both of us smile. what do you make of the job numbers? >> i agree with you. they're good numbers all the way around. if you look at july and august, we saw the number of jobs created upwardly revised as well. so, you know, gold key locks is in the building. economy not too strong. it's definitely not too weak. we're making great progress. labor markets improved. we're averaging almost 200,000 jobs a month. that's a bit of a mixed blessing that drop in the unemployment rate itself. but generally speaking this was a good report.

>> how about the number of americans as we found out yesterday that are seeking unemployment insurance. that dropped to the lowest level since 2006. you read that as another positive sign for the recovery? you are encouraged bit report? do you know what it takes to sustain it? are you confidence we can? >> i think we're sustaining a a recovery that is not to everyone's satisfaction. 2.5% growth is not what everybody wants. most people want at least 4% to get the lift off. that may not happen this time. but it also may be a longer recovery than we've seen in the past. there's no reason with inflation still falling in the united states and a lot of overseas economic risks for the fed to raise rates any time soon. even though we're seeing improvements on the job front. the durability of the recovery might be one longer though not as sharp as the types we've seen in the past. it may be frustrating to some. but we've gotten back all the jobs we lost in the recession. i think the recovery may go slower but last longer than what

we've seen in our lifetimes. >> all right. at least getting all the jobs we lost during the recession. i'm going to stop on a high note. developing now we just learned hong kong protesters cancelled their planned talks with leaders after a violent scuffle this morning. we'll have the latest and a live report.

braechs along with a rocky hearing on capitol hill cost julia piereson her job. here is how it unfolded. >> you let somebody get close to the president and the family. >> this is disgraceful this happened. >> it's clear that our security plan was not properly executed. this is unacceptable and i take full responsibility and i will make sure that it does not happen again. >> how much would it cost to lock the front door of the white house? >> how do you even know what the problems are? >> the president concluded that new leadership of that agency was required. >> nbc news political editor kari dan is joining me. it's bigger than the secret service and it feeds good the republican narrative confidence. it was a rare case of bipartisan on capitol hill. in fact, house oversight committee darrell issa and e leesle -- elijah cummings sent a note to

conduct a review of the agency. when you listen to that you have these two lawmakers on opposite sides of the aisle. can you build on this? >> i think so, alex. you saw in the hearing bipartisan outrage from both sides. this is a committee that house oversight committee is known for contentious. it was one hearing you saw both sides coming together. i think the administration is moving to address this. especially by appointing a interim director in joe clancey. he worked with the president before and the first family trusts him. the response from veterans of the secret service has been very good. he's called father joe because

of his mannerism and attitude toward working with other people. so i think that will go pretty far to address a culture issues. one thing about this story is because we were hearing especially from the reporting from the washington post the drips and drapes of different aspects of the security lapses. it's clear there's leaks coming from within the organization. there's so little faith in leadership. i think a strong leader there that is trust bid the president and the other people in the institution and if you have congress getting the answers they're looking for, i think you'll see the steps toward little bit of recovery here. >> okay. what are you keeping an eye on as you look to sunday talk shows? it's been a parade of negative headlines if are the last couple of weeks. ebola, isis. the white house has a little bit of good news with the kming numbers you were talking about. here is the latest on nbc meet the press from the white house about the last couple of weeks. we'll hear from the rnc's unveiled yesterday gop priority going forward. one particular thing i'm keeping
