you just heard dr. fauci, dr. mary bassett reportedly was fewer yew she was not informed before the quarantine was imposed. do you no longer trust the cdc and doctors and scientists? >> well, that's a pretty general statement. of course, we do, but the fact of the matter is that the cdc protocols, as dr. fauci admitted himself, have been a moving targets. imagine you're the person in charge of the public health of the people of a large densely populated state, in fact the most densely populated state in the union, and these protocols continue to move and change. it was my conclusion we need to do do this to protect the public health of the people of new jersey. governor cuomo agreed. now mayor emanuel agrees, and i think the cdc will eventually come around to our point of view on this. >>> and what about that dr. fauci says it's not good science to quarantine them when they're not symptomatic. >> what he's counting on is a voluntary system with folks who may or may not comply. wet this situation in new jersey, as

>> dr. fauci, how do you know she is virus free? what did you do for her while she was here at n.i.h.? >> well, we know she's virus free because we now have five negative consecutive negative pcrs on her. now, i don't want anyone to take from that that that is the norm and the standard. , that you can only guarantee someone virus free because of five. we can d that because this is a research institution. but that's not the norm. we provided her with supportive care and that's something i've been saying all along that one of the most important things in brinebola patient to health is to give them the kind of medical general support to allow their own body to then be able to fight off the virus and essentially get rid of the virus. >> [ inaudible question ] >> i would leave that up to her but it's not up for me to answer. >> given all the circumstances that exist, with the doctor in new york right now, should americans returning from the ebola zone be forced into a more strictor mandatory quarantine? >> something that is right now und

dr. faucind members of his infectious diseases team is what they are learning about pham, her condition, and any mutations of this virus, martha. martha: yeah. that's essential to understanding this going forward. catherine, thank you. bill: also this morning we're learning a bit more about a dallas hospital worker who right now is onboard a carnival cruise ship in the caribbean. casey steegal picks up that story live back there in dallas. we got some information from the cruise line itself, and what are they telling us about this person onboard? >> reporter: yeah, bill, we did. in fact, i just got off the phone with carnival cruise line, and they tell me the ship is off the coast of belize as we speak and, basically, it left out of galveston, texas, on october the 12th which was this past sunday. it was also before the cdc changed its active monitoring program for medical workers at texas health presbyterian hospital who had some form of contact with thomas eric duncan while he was a patient h

dr. anthony fauci. >>> and we'll discuss criticism of the government response with the chair of the house oversight panel congressman tim murphy. >>> and disease expert dr. michael oster home. >>> has the government oversold its ability to contain the deadly virus? >> if we do the protocols properly, the likelihood of widespread ebola outbreaks in this country are very, very low. >>> our sunday panel weighs in. >>> then it's just 16 days to the midterm elections. with control of the senate still up for grabs. we'll have a debate between the chairs of both parties. reince priebus and debbie wasserman schultz in their first joint appearance of 2014. it's a "fox news sunday" exclusive. >>> plus the man who keeps america on time, all right now on "fox news sunday." >>> hello again from fox news in washington. under fire from republicans and some democrats, president obama is now scrambling to restore confidence in how his administration is handling the ebola threat. today we want to take a look at it from all angles. we'll talk with the government's point man on infectious disease, dr. anthon

as i discussed with dr. fauci, the fact is that a number -- i think two dozen african nations have restricted travel from the so-called hot zone, which raises the question, should we? >> well, first of all, let's be clear. just because somebody takes an action doesn't mean it's right. i believe congressman murphy is well-intentioned in his assessment. but we've looked at this issue quite closely over the years. you've led this program by saying i'm critical of our response. i have been. i would have no problem saying that the thing to do is close the border if we could really protect this country from what's happening over there. that's just not the case. this is not a partisan issue. it shouldn't be a partisan issue. just this past week, former secretary mike leavitt of hhs under the bush administration, somebody i very much respect and admire himself came out and said from his own experience having been at hhs and viewing all the information -- >> but why is a travel been a bad idea? >> well, the travel ban is a

you just heard dr. fauci, dr. mary bassett reportedly was fewer yew she was not informed before the quarantine was imposed. do you no longer trust the cdc and doctors and scientists? >> well, that's a pretty general statement. of course, we do, but the fact of the matter is that the cdc protocols, as dr. fauci admitted himself, have been a moving targets. imagine you're the person in charge of the public health of the people of a large densely populated state, in fact the most densely populated state in the union, and these protocols continue to move and change. it was my conclusion we need to do do this to protect the public health of the people of new jersey. governor cuomo agreed. now mayor emanuel agrees, and i think the cdc will eventually come around to our point of view on this. >>> and what about that dr. fauci says it's not good science to quarantine them when they're not symptomatic. >> what he's counting on is a voluntary system with folks who may or may not comply. wet this situation in new jersey, as

and to dr. faucidoesn't spread like the flu or a cold, why is it spreading so quickly and are you confident we won't see an outbreak in the u.s.? >> with regard to the nigeria case, haven't seen the results of the test yet. that's the most definitive thing and the most important thing. what you see is people taking precautions because the symptoms are malarial. we believe it's the right thing to do. cdc gets contacted, we make a determination and work with the community and the health center in this case to do the test. when we get that definitive, in each of the cases, we make public as quickly as possible what we know about that. >> also a patient is being tested at shady grove adventist. >>> i'm brianna keilar in "the situation room". we're monitoring this press conference at the white house. let's continue to listen in. >> why is there such an outbreak -- if one goes to liberia or sierra leone or guinea, you will see the conditions that make it very, very clear that coming into contact with bodily

and to dr. fauci like the flu or a cold why is it spreading so quickly and are you confident we won't see an outbreak in the u.s. >> with regard to the nigeria case i haven't seen the results of the tests yet. and what you see is people taking precautions. the symptoms are ma lair yal but they could be this. everyone is take appropriate steps and we believe that is the right thing to do. cdc gets contacted and we make a determination and work with the community and the health center to do the test. when when we get that definitive we make public as quickly as possible what we know about that. and -- >> there is a patient being tested at shady grove adventist. are you being informed of all of these suspected cases? >> let me answer the question here first. you were seeing if it's only transmitted a certain way -- >> doesn't spread as fast as -- >> why is there such an outbreak? if one goes to liberia or sierra leone or guinea you will see the conditions that make it very, very clear that coming into co

dr. fauci talks about the unintended consequence. everyone agrees the only way to stop this crisis is to end ebola in west africa. and doctors and nurses who are willing to take their chances going over there, when they hear they have to undergo a mandatory three-week quarantine when they get back, may not decide to go in the first place. the first nurse who is under the quarantine feels she was badly treated. do you feel you'll disincentivize people from going over there to stop the outbreak? >> i don't believe so. i believe those who are willing to take that step and willing to volunteer, also understand it's in their interest and the public health interest to have a 21-day period thereafter if they've been directly exposed to people with the virus. and as we saw what happened with some of the health care workers in texas, with the cdc shifting protocols, we had people infected from that type of contact. we just can't have that in the new york/new jersey area. that's why governor cuomo and i agree on this. now you see that they agr

as dr. fauciaid, she's been under our care for less than 12 hours so we are just taking a very conservative assessment at this point. as dr. fauci said, the situation changes or if we have more time to evaluate her, that's the situation, maybe upgrade her, we'll see. >> reporter: doctor, is she considered in isolation right now. >> oh, absolutely. >> and amber vinson is in isolation. >> reporter: now we hear about a third texas health care worker on a cruiseship that have been isolated. it seems as though two of the three health care workers that are in isolation took public transportation in the last couple of days, one on a cruiseship, one on an airplane. from your perspective, sir, with your decades of experience, for the americans who may look at that and be taken aback or seem frustrated that they were allowed to take public transportation, what would you say and would you have allowed that to happen? >> well, i'm going to tell you something about ebola and i'm not going to specifically answe

i recognize dr. fauci for five minute summary. >> thank you, chairman murphy. anking members degette and ranking member upton and ranking member waxman. you heard ab the health aspectses of ebola virus disease from dr. frieden. i appreciate the opportunity to speak to you this morning on the role of national institute of allergy and infectious disease in research addressing ebola virus disease. of note our activities started with the tragic events of 9/11, of 9/11, 2001, which were followed closely by the anthrax attacks which many of the members remember against the congress of the united states and the press. it was in that environment that a multifaceted approach towards bioterrorism was actually mounted by the ral government, one of which was the research endeavor to develop countermeasures. we soon became very aware, naturally-occurring outbreaks of disease are as much of terror to the america and world public as deliberate bioterror. a number of what we call category a pathogens, anthrax, botulism, plague, smallpox, but look at the last bullet, viral hemor

. >> dr. fauci, thank you. thanks for coming in and updating us on the situation once again. >> good to be with you. >> up next, new jersey governor chris christie joins us for his first sunday show interview of 2014. we'll ask him about the new quarantine order, how republicans will do in the midterms and whether he'll run for president in 2016. e. 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. >>> new jersey governor chris christie is traveling the country as head of the republican governor's association. trying to elect gop candidates this year and

as dr. fauci has discussed and dr. shah has mentioned, the situation in liberia, sierra leone and guinea could not be more opposite in terms of the public health infrastructure and the ability of officials there to immediately isolate an individual case. what you're seeing in texas is the isolation of that patient, the contact tracing that is being done meticulously by cdc and by local health professionals. the other thing i would say to your question is, it is true, we have a case in texas. the howard case that has been mentioned is a potential case. and i would defer to the medical professionals at howard to give the definitive view on that. but i think it's very important to remember. this outbreak began in march of this year. and since that time and since the screening measures that we've discussed from this podium began over the summer, there have been tens of thousands of individuals who have come to this country from the affected region. and we have now seen one case -- and as dr. fauci mentioned, it is entirely

i recognize dr. fauci for a five-minute summary of yours. >> thank you, chairman murphy. ranking members deget and upton, ranking member waxman, you've just heard about the public health aspects of ebola virus disease from dr. frieden. i appreciate the opportunity to speak with you this morning for a few minutes on the role of the national institute of allergy and infectious diseases in research addressing ebola virus keys. of note is that our activities started with the tragic events of 9/11 like of 9/11/2001 followed closely by the anthrax attacks which many of the memberers remember against the congress of the united states and the press. in that environment a multifaceted approach towards bioterrorism was actually mounted by the federal government. one of which was the research endeavor to develop countermeasures. we became aware that naturally occurring outbreaks of disease are just as much of a terror to the american and world public as a delivered bioterror. you see on the slide a number of what we call category a pathogens from anthrax, botulism, plague, smallpox,

dr. anthony fauci is back with us her. dr. fauci, what you heard from tom frieden at the cdc is that they are, first of all, not blaming the nurse as we were emphasizing and increasing the alertness of e.r.s around the country to look first, think ebola, he said. when you think fever, think ebola, be careful. >> that's correct. that's exactly what we need to do, a travel history, thinking about it. putting the dots together. you won't make any% takes about missing someone who might have another couple days of exposing other people. he is right on and making sure we get training for people so they know how to take care of it. not blaming them at all. he was very emphatic about it. very insear about it. that's very important. >> maggie, when you look around the country, there were such a wide range of preparation. can you hear these public health alerts, but they have different standardss of excellence. we know that, whether it was a teaching hospital, a public or private. >> we know this is something hospitals struggle with in g

nancy snyderman, dr. fauci standing by in bethesda. first we want to begin with ron mott and a new term in our lexicon, contact tracers, the people who trace down all those who may have come in contact, ron, with this ebola patient in texas. good evening. >> reporter: hey, brian. good evening to you. there's a team of ten cdc experts on the ground tonight working this case. we know the man's name, we know the basic timeline of his travels from west africa to the dallas area where tonight he's in isolation at texas health presbyterian hospital. what isn't so clear is why he was sent away from this er last friday with antibiotics and not admitted right away. the man hospitalized and isolated since sunday at this dallas hospital diagnosed tuesday with ebola has been identified as thomas eric duncan, a liberian national. he is seriously ill. they said they are watching some children. >> today we learned that some school age children have been identified as having had contact with the patient and are now being monitored at home for any sign

and now joining us by phone is dr. fauci, and what is the public to make of the second ebola case, and as i understand it, the first case of ebola being contracted, contacted within the united states? >> well, i think that it is important to point out that it is very unfortunate that this individual was infected while ca caring to the for an ebola patient. it clearly had to be a breach of the protocol when one goes in and takes care of the patient with the personal protective equipment that is part of the cdc protocol. apparently, the person did use ppes or the personal protective equipment, but there with was a breach in the protocol which is unfortunate por the courageous person taking care of the ebola patients, but it need s s to bet into context that when you are talking about the relationship to the outbreak, you can't make an extrapolation that this is now danger more so to the american people, because you note that the contacts that were traced are now being monitor and where appropriate being isolated. and so the id

i think dr. fauci has gone over the way and the protocol what needs to happen is basic temperature taking two times a day on a regular basis. hour a local official chooses to impment that we work in conjunction. we have given the guidance out but those are decisions made at the local level. >> can you -- >> the this is the "the ed show" on msnbc. you are watching the white house officials briefing on the ebola outbreak. they emphasize that americans should feel confident about the united states response and public health infrastructure. moments ago, sylvia burwell says that the cdc has been sending out diviguidelines. >> cdc sent out our first guidance to state and local officials on july 28th and has been followed with six additional sets of guidance and the latest issued yesterday. >> the nurses on the ground say they aren't getting that information. a national nurses united survey found 80% of nurses say their hospital has not communicated on any policy on ebola patient admission and 87% say they ha

dr. fauci mentioned this. but the bottom line ultimately for these patients is that their own immune systems, if they are healthy, can ultimately fight this virus if they are just supported and that means giving them fluids, making sure they don't become too dehydrated, if they have any bleeding problems, giving blood back. she received the blood transfusion, as you mentioned, from dr. kent brantly. he fought ebola and succeeded and we don't know for sure if that's what helped. some of this stuff has never been done before. some of these medications have never been given to humans before. we don't know still if that works but someone who started off healthy and their immune system and support with fluids and basic things can make a recovery. dr. kent brantly, nancy writebol, amber vinson, nina pham, ashoko mukpo. >> the key is getting at it early but if you're in the health care system in the united states, you can beat this. >> i think you're absolutely right. we know that early diagnosis and treatment make a

dr. fauci do you agree with dr. frieden on this point? >> i do. >> you wouldn't put a travel ban in? it sounds like we always say, seal off our borders. don't let those people come in. now that's usually referenced to the immigration matter, not public health, particularly, might be a tangental issue, but we know certain countries, where the epidemic is originating, why not stop them? >> well, i believe that dr. frieden and yourself just articulated it very clearly. it's certainly understandable how someone might come to a conclusion that the best approach would be to just seal off the border from those countries but we are dealing with something now that we know what we're dealing with. if you have the possibility of doing all of those lines that you showed, that's a big web of things we don't know what we're dealing with. >> so what we know, is this epidemic can spread if there's contact with body fluids from somebody showing the symptoms of ebola, or someone who has been exposed to that indi

>> as dr. fauci said the protocols have been changing and we have been retraining to the new protocols. we are anxious for this next set of guidelines and hoping to have them before this. we understand that cdc wants to vet them and make sure they are right before they come out but we are anxious to have them so we know exactly the next level to which we are expected to perform >> schieffer: doctor we were not prepared for this? as we found out the first patient that shows up at a hospital they sent him home. nobody would do something like that on purpose. but the hospitals weren't really prepared and they didn't know what to expect, did they? >> well, you know, i think that as i said, i think we have a great body of experience with infectious diseases. and there obviously are looking backwards ways we would have done things differently. i cannot speak to the specifics of the texas hospital i was not there. i don't know the details of that. but there are good guidelines in place that have been vetted

you know dr. fauci also went on to say that folks here at the nih were always prepared to handle and treat any of the other ebola patients. in fact they created a specialized wing in 2011. they were just waiting for the call. back to you. >> they say this is what they do and we are glad they do it and we hope that nina pham is doing to indeed get better very soon. delia thank you. one of pham's colleagues amber vinson is also fighting ebola. the head of the cdc says she is in stable condition. but she may have shown signs of ebola earlier than we thought. now health officials have expanded their search to include another plane load of passengers and shoppers at an ohio bridal store. frontier airlines is telling passengers on seven flights the two that carried vinson as well as five others using the same plane the contact the cdc. >>> president obama is asking former white house official ron chain to be the so-called ebola czar. he will coordinate the country's response to the outbreak. meanwhile many ca

dr. anthony fauci at the nih and others who say that the quarantine is not necessary and it does not lower the infin titesimal risk if tha is what it is, and what are you hearing about the quarantine in the three states? >> i have not spoken to a single medical expert or professional who supports this quarantine, and they believe it is not helpful, but hurtful, and here is why. maybe a tiny infinitesimal risk that someone comes back and feeling sick when they are out, and they are not going to be transmitting ebola when they feel ill. the minute they feel ill, they should isolate themselves, and they don't feel that there is a risk that someone like kaci hickox will transmit ebola, but there is a huge risk of quarantining her, because when she is quarantined, other aide workers who want to go say no. and many say, no, i can't spend a month in africa and then three weeks quarantine and are they going to be stuck? a tent like she is? allowed not the go home even though they are perfectly healthy? and kaci is staring at the walls, and she did not have reading material or anything, and so if t

so you can understand that, dr. fauci, because treatment is so hard to get and get any kind of care. this may happen more and more. is this something the united states has given thought to or your department in terms of do we take all those patients? is there going to be anything else done? >> well, of course, they're re-evaluating the situation. the only difficulty is that window. now, clearly if someone is exposed and has symptoms and wants to come to the united states for treatment, they're not going to be able to get on a plane. they will be stopped at the airport at the west african countries on that end of the process. the window that's the vulnerable window is someone who is exposed and then winds up with no symptoms for a period of time that could be as many as 21 days and then does get on the plane being asymptomatic. there's really not much you can do except rely on that screening of symptoms and fever. and every once in a while, it is conceivable as has happened by the reality of the duncan case that someone wi

sanjay gupta. >> dr. fauciu woke up and heard our breaking news that there's another patient who has been diagnosed with ebola in texas, what did you think in. >> well, it's extremely disappointing and sad that this individual got infected. it didn't surprise me, because it was very clear that the conditions that led to the infection of nina pham clearly were the conditions in which this person was exposed. so i was not surprised. i was saddened and disturbed. so clearly there was something that went on in that setting, that did not totally protect those health care workers. and that's something that has got to be changed and that's the reason why the cdc has sent their team down there, to try and find out what went wrong and to make sure that doesn't ever happen again. and that hospital or any place else. >> dr. fauci, it sounds like there were many things that went wrong in texas. this morning, the thursdays are going public with the conditions. let me read to you their list of things that worried them. numbe

dr. tony fauci thank you so much for coming by. this is getting to be a habit with us now. as soon as we lick this thing you have some time off. >> indeed. thank you, candy. >>> this week the president took more steps to deal with ebola, but are they good enough? the outspoken chairman of the house oversight committee joins me next. about 55. where you headed at such an appropriate speed? across the country to enhance the nation's most reliable 4g lte network. how's it working for ya? better than ever. how'd you do it? added cell sites. increased capacity. and your point is... so you can download music, games, and directions for the road when you need them. who's this guy? oh that's charlie. you ever put pepper spray on your burrito? i like it spicy but not like uggggh spicy. he always like this? you have no idea. at&t. the nation's most reliable 4g lte network. what does an apron have to do with car insurance? an apron is hard work. an apron is pride in what you do. an apron is not quitting until you've made something a little better. what does an apron have to do with car

identification at the point at which there is actually a temperature and as dr. fauci said, when something can be done. what we are doing is making sure that hospitals, health workers across the country know that when they see that, what steps to take, how to isolate, and what to do immediately when they see those steps. and we'll continue to do that and make sure we are responding to the questions that we're getting from the community. >> what about the potential case at howard university? is there any new information about that? and to dr. fauci, if it doesn't spread like the flu or cold, why is it spreading so quickly? are you confident we won't see an outbreak in the u.s.? >> with regard to the nigeria case haven't seen the results of the test yet. i think that is the most definitive and important thing. what you see is people taking precautions because the symptoms are malarial but it could be this. i think everyone is taking the appropriate steps. we believe that is the right thing to do. cdc gets contacted. we make a determination and work with the community and

dr. fauci from the nih. he weighed in on this today. take a listen. >> if you have a blanket, mainly just completely nobody can do anything for 21 days that we feel is a major disincentive. that doesn't mean that the people who are promoting that are doing anything wrong. i believe that the governors and others who have been pushing that in good faith are trying to protect their constituency. there's no criticism of them. it's just that as a health person, as a physician and a scientist, i would say that we look at the data and tells you what the risk is. >> you know one thing i finding as well, dr. fauci, obviously, is one of the doctors at the nih who helped take care of nina pham. if you think about this idea of quarantining all health care workers that have taken care of ebola patients it raises the question where does it end. dr. fauci under these guidelines he himself would be quarantined as well as the rest of the team at nih. doctors at emory who have taken care of four patients success
