doctor david samadi, you get the last word.view on that travel ban and what we have to do to assure the american public that they are safe. >> i think showing the american public is critical. i think one good move that was made yesterday's the establishment of the emergency operations center. that is something that we desperately needed to get started now that the situation has been going on in the united states. i'm afraid the cat is out of the back bag as far as the travel ban goes. in reality we have to start thinking of other ways in which we can control what is going on right here and we have to pay attention to what just happened with the cruise ship that went to mexico and how other countries will respond to us if we, as the leader -- lou: does it not seem entirely with rational but the governor of mexico would not permit the landing of that ship imap i certainly hope that our authorities would not permit a ship with possible ebola victims aboard. that's utter madness. >> i totally see your point of view. what i am tryin

david samadi onset with me. to keep people calm, i would imagine in your area of ohio, you've had to have a lot of conversations with the medical staff you lead. what have you been able to tell them? >> we really have had a lot of conversations, both with the medical staff, the nursing staff, and with the general public. number one that we believe the chance of us getting a case of ebola is still very, very low. we believe the people that came in contact with the nurse when she was in northeast ohio is a finite number. the contact would probably not lead to ebola. having said that, we have to prepare. we have to be ready to screen these patients, to isolate these patients and to care for these patients. so we really -- since that news hit last week, we've ramped up our plans big time. >> dr. samadi just brought up a really big, important point about screening at the airport. fever may not be the best way. so what are our options at this point? if we're going to continue to let flights route through different cou

david samadi, lennox hill hospital chairman of urology. ways a pleasure to talk to you, doctor. >> thank you, david. david: what makes people most nervous all the miscues that happened in texas in the first hospital mr. duncan was in. at first they sent him back home when he actually had, not completely full-blown symptoms but almost. have hospitals learned from the mistake in hospital in texas? >> yes. so one of the critics from cdc we have been talking about is, when they made the statement that every hospital in america is able to take care of ebola patients, we soon realized that is not the case. we learned a lot from the case in dallas and bellevue hospital in new york city is one of the designated spots to take care of patients with adebolajo. debola this is high-risk patient it was exposed to patients in guinea. from what i understand he has fever of 103. 10 days since he has entered. that is around the time, between eight to 10 days when you would see the symptoms. and course once you have symptoms of ebola that is when you're extre

david samadi is my co-host for the hour. here's one from twitter.ike smith says, no one has talked about the spread of ebola as it pertains to insects, ie mosquitos and fleas. >> really not an insect-born illness. more bats are the typical carriers. i think, as i understand, the epidemic in west africa and what we're dealing with in america is more human-to-human transmission. i don't think there's a large vector in that. >> i agree. there's really no study done. ion because you would think the mosquito would be the vector that would transfer, but there's no study that's done that shows mosquitos are the carrier. fruit bats are the ones. fruit bats, obviously once the secretion goes to monkeys and apes, and through consumption of this bush meat, it comes to the human body and evolves. one of the big questions that is comes up is what exactly has turned into this virus and why is it so aggressive? that could be a lot of mutation over the years. >> also the fact the people there in west africa are eating the things that are eating the things carrying

david samadi, from lennox hill hospital. we're going to begin with this breaking news this morning that another person this morning happening another person in the united states has tested positive in preliminary testing for ebola. dr. siegel, hello to you, sir, and tell me, they they're reporting that there's a possible breach in protocol. what could have happened here? >> well, first of all, we have to understand that this was a health care worker. this was a nurse that was caring for duncan. so this is somebody directly involved with ebola. ebola secretions, and she was wearing the proper suiting, but the problem is, that she may not have put it on properly. she may not have taken it off properly. up until this point, arthel, the dallas health officials have been directly involved with overseeing this. and i'm one of the people now saying i think the centers for disease control just has to take this over. because, this can happen. and you have to understand if you're putting on a suit that you're not familiar with, and we

david samadi, professor of urology and member of the fox news medical a team.ant to set the record straight here. three people in this country have ebola. let me be clear. it may be an epidemic in other nations but it is not here. the real odds of someone getting it who has never come in contact with the few people in the u.s. who have come in contact with someone who has it is zero. so the real cure for ebola panic is education. dr. samadi, please educate us. >> what you just said is absolutely important. we also -- the reason why people there's panic and fear out there because they are not getting a very strong message of what's going on. at every level, whether it's the public or nurses or hospitals, for example, we're going to have a new guideline coming down the pipeline tomorrow. i like that. that's a great idea. we need to know exactly what we're telling our nurses, putting the hazmat suits, it takes hours and hours of preparation. and it really means if your neck is open and you get the virus, make it clear and all of these nurses who are hard working c

david samadi, chairman of neurology at lennox hill hospital and frequent guest on fox news.ou've been on the all the news this weekend covering the second case. should we be concerned health care workers are not prepared to deal with the disease? >> sure fay speaks for itself. 75% of nurses and doctors are not completely trained. we're talking about small hospitals across the u.s. who may not have all the equipment we have at major institutions. let me also commend these nurses and doctors working hard. she was doing her job. she should be commended what she does all the time taking care of sick people. what i said you're dealing with a virus 70 to 90% lethal. no vaccine takes care of this virus. there is no antiviral, there is no zmapp, we ran out of it in one day. until we figure out how the virus spreads. is it spreading through the body fluid as we spoke about? yes. vomit, diarrhea, urine, all that stuff is there but can you get it from touching your face which is the case that happened in spain? you have to tell me how the nbc cameraman got ebola. was it from casual tou

david samadi. thank you so much for being here. start with ebola and then we'll get to the enterovirus that we want to talk about as well. ebola, this screening, the screening process the president is talking about, is that enough to prevent an outbreak here in the united states? >> certainly screening on the west african side is helpful. they were able to get about 78 patients that were really sick and keeping them away from flying out, so that helps to some extent. but the incubation period is about 21 days so you may have no symptoms, no fever or muscle aches and by the time you get to the u.s. within those two or three days within the passage you're going to see ebola is going to expand. by the time they get here we should be able to screen them. already there are infectious disease doctors in place. is that enough to get every one of those cases? absolutely not. we have to be really careful about how we take care of those patients in our emergency room. first thing is to really identify them. we have to look for these, the s i

david samadi from the fox medical a team.anks for being with us. >> good morning. >> you say ban flights. you were saying that this weekend on fox news. tell us why. >> there are times in the history of america, and nobody said it better than ronald reagan, that you have to tear down those walls. and this are times such as this where we have to protect americans. that's one of the reasons why i looked straight in the camera and told the president please bring up those walls. the best way to isolate this disease is right in west africa, and the other international countries have to join u.s. we are talking about sending aides, we're sending our troops and sending doctors over there. we've had about 300 minnesota health care workers -- 3-00 plus health care workers in that country. if you contain this disease, you control this disease. once the bird is outside the cage, you have to start looking for all these cases and you have these nurses and doctors and you're putting doctors and hospitals in danger. by the way, i commend he

david samadi. thanks for being with us, dr. samadi.e little baggies with the new gear before the new guidelines came out. now we have new guidelines with different instructions on what to do if you're a health care worker. do you think these are safe? >> the bags you saw is what we use all the time for contact isolation. before ebola, any time we go to see patient that's what you have. you put a gown on, your shoe cover. you put a mask and head cover and that's it, with one pair of gloves. obviously that's not enough for ebola, right, and that's why these nurses are extremely upset because there was no real communication from c.d.c. all the way to the nurses. it goes through these e-mails and it can stop. what she said is the hospital, this is based on voluntary. they can listen to c.d.c. or take the whole guideline or half of it or whatever it is based on finances or whatever their issues are. look at what tom frieden was wearing in liberia. everything was covered. two gloves. no skin was seen. you have the respirator, et cetera. the

. >> david, i echo dr. samadi's comments here.espect for those who are willing to put themselves in harm's way and treat these people and there's a 70% chance of death if you contract this virus. she was treating, dealing with patients that have ebola. it seems reasonable to me that if you come back to the united states -- especially because dr. craig spencer, his self-isolation didn't work, did it, that we quarantine people for 21 days. what's wrong with that? >> it goes against the weight of the basic -- the people that really do have a handle on this. i respect the doctor. i'm not a doctor. i'm just a civil rights lawyer. but the overwhelming weight of the medical community disagrees. >> that's not true. the cdc was wrong in saying that dr. craig spencer could self-isolate and self-quarantine and then hes go on trains. then he goes to a bowling alley, then he goes to a restaurant. >> well, if you agree with cdc that says you're not contagious until you're symptomatic, then for possibly 20 days it's okay for you to be out there.

david is a maati, member of fox news medical a-team. dr. samadi, thanks for being here. should people be concerned about traveling? >> there should be absolutely a concern. you know, the we've been trying to calm things down and basically saying not to panic. cdc is coming up with numbers that are of concern. if you believe today we hit 4,000 deaths in west africa, 8,000 people have been diagnosed, we certainly will reach somewhere 20 to 30,000 numbers. when they talked about 1.4 million people would be diagnosed from this by january there are concerns. gerri: the numbers are climbing, real numbers, number of debts but also the expectations and from what i read, the number of people catching disease and getting ebola is doubling every three weeks. >> as absolutely true. you also have to understand there is a huge cultural differences in west africa. whether rid wall of burying bodies and contain just and people can get the virus from them -- contagious. to the food they are eating over there. we're not in control. america is doing a great job sending health care doctors
