welcome to "cbs this morning." we begin this morning with a fallout from the first ebola death in the united states. more americans are worried about an outbreak here. the government is ramping up a response. >> this all comes after the grim news from dallas. thomas eric duncan died nine days after his diagnosis. manuel bojorquez is outside the hospital where there aremore questions about duncan's treatment. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. duncan is being remembered as a good man by those who loved him. questions are being raised a as to whether more could have been done to prevent it. fears grow over twhoes may have contracted the virus. at the wilshire baptist church in dallas the congregation and the family mourned thomas duncan.
7:04 am
his girlfriend louise remains quarantined. she's devastated. duncan lost his battle with ebola wednesday, becoming the first person to die of the deadly virus on u.s. soil. his death renews criticism over his treatment at texas health presbyterian. he was originally released despite telling medical staff he had recently arrived from liberia where ebola was rampant. two days later he was admitted to the hospital. four days later he came into contact. there are growing fears the virus could spread. a dallas county sheriff's deputy was brought to the hospital by ambulance after complaining of ebola-like symptoms. >> sore, fatigued a little bit of a stomach ache. no fever or vomiting or diarrhea or anything like that.
7:05 am
>> reporter: he had been inside the contaminated apartmentith duncan himself. still they're taking this seriously. >> public health officials are interviewing the patient in the event this turns it to be something else. right now they're turning into this a low risk event. >> reporter: meanwhile an nbc cameraman was given a good transfusion to help fight ebola. >> this is not like giving penicillin for pneumonia and we're going to see a dramatic response in a couple of hours. we're hoping to see some turn for the better but often improvement is subtle. >> reporter: officials say test results on the deputy being evaluated here are expected within 48 hours but they believe his risk is low. the pastor who led the vigil for the patient who died said duncan's last words were to a nurse, he talked about wanting
7:06 am

7:07 am
in place as many checkpoints along the journey as are feasible. at the front end, the back end. >> that back end screen willing apply to passengers who started their journey in liberia, sierra leone, or guinea. they will have to declare where they've been how they're feeling, and whether they've encountered anyone who might have had ebola. they will is also have to list specific contact information for how they can be reached when in the u.s. and their temperature will be taken with a noncontact instrument like this one. if it shows they could have been exposed to ebola, centers for disease control workers working at the airport will take over. but dr. tom freed p said the additional screenings are not a failsafe conclusion. >> we can't make the risk zero. we wish we could. >> reporter: the number of people subjected to those
7:08 am
additional screenings will be relatively small. on average, 150 day from those affected three countries come from the five u.s. airports. charlie? >> thanks. a new poll looks at the outbreak. at least seven in ten are somewhat concerned. that includes 40% are very concerned. dr. jon lapook. good morning. >> good morning, charlie. >> looking at those who were in contact with duncan and critical times, what can we learn about them? >> it's nice if you do the calculation. it's anywhere from 15 to 15 days after possible exposure and in this epidemic so far, symptoms has been about an eight- to ten-day incubation period. >> what about the sheriff's
7:09 am
deputy who was brought to the hospital. he was in the apartment but hatd no contact. >> right. they i have a test in texas. it should take several hours. we should have the results today. >> we have about 150 people coming from west africa coming to the united states. now they're going to be screened at these airports. how effect in is that going to be? right. first let's talk about the screening. room temperature, you hold this two to three people. you're 98.1 and that's a great news. >> duncan came into the country and he didn't have a temperature. >> exactly. norah. the incubation period is 2 to 21 days, so somebody can feel perfectly fine like mr. duncan and beincubating it and not get sick till they come here. so far those screened have had fever. 77 people none of them have had
7:10 am
ebola. so i think on the other end it's going be even fewer people with fever. >> all right, jon. thank you so much. >> thanks. new charges this morning of a cover-up in a secret service scandal. the colombia prostitution scandal of 2012. the allegations say the white house knew of it major garrett is at the white house with contradictions to the denials. good morning. >> good morning. the "washington post" there's two new allegation about cartagena. was it watered down or protecting the white house. or were they shielded from scrutiny. the obama white house denies a coverup of the cartagena
7:11 am
scandal. the question was raced with the deputy commissioner of the nypd john miller. >> a man of high integrity in my opinion was placed on administrative leave for refusing to redact or omit portions of his original report. to the satisfaction of the inspector general. >> so he wrote up the reports with the facts as he under them and submitted it and they said change the facts? >> that's my understanding. a bipartisan committee report released in april rejected the accusation of a coverup. the report said it specifically investigating whether orders were kbirch, quote, to remove information that could have been embarrassing to the department of homeland security and/or the obama administration in an election year. the committee found no evidence to, quote, substantiate the
7:12 am
allegations. it has long been known a white house travel volunteer was instigated. a white house investigation cleared jonathan dak of wrongdoing but never disclosed his name in part because he was a volunteer and not a salaried white house staffer. dak has long denied any wrongdoing. what he cannot deny is am spell knowledge of the white house. his father was with the department of health and human services where he now serves. the younger dak survived the scandal and is now an employee at the office. >> thanks. isis is reportedly on the march again. the american warplanes aren't enough to save the town of co-ba
