but one thing that i think is very important, dr. gupta, is that, you know, this virus -- we -- august is our down season for viruses in terms of respiratory viruses, but we are getting into our season where we are in respiratory viral season, so in my area here, enter row virus 68 is going down, common cold like rhino variety are starting. enterovirus which you know there are a quite a number of viruses, fever, rash, not respiratory symptoms like this year. but as we go in our september, october is marked by rhino virus and then we'll get into rsvp in november and then influenza season and i think we'll go back to back to back in viruses this year and not have this lull, at least not in my community, that we would normally get well into respiratory virus season and that's important because parents need to be prepared and it's a good opportunity to prepare for the respiratory viral season. >> yeah. no, it's a really good point. and, again, getting back to that issue that parents really need to keep an eye on their kids during this viral se

dr. sanjay gupta to better understand what's going on.his is frightening for parents. >> it is pretty frightening. the scenario seems to be this. between august 9th and just a couple days ago, there were ten children that came into the hospital that had severe respiratory problems with breathing, thought to have sort of the significant viral illness. within some time after that, started to develop weakness of either one limb, two limbs or all their limbs, arms and legs. they were between the ages of 1 and 18. they all had this history of being sick some time in the recent past. what they found out was they did an mri of their spinal cords and found the people who had the weakness did have some lesions in their spinal cord. whether that's specifically related to the viral illness or temporary or permanent, they are not sure. the hospital that is reporting these particular children, they had some 4,000 patient who is had significant respiratory illness and we're talking about 10 people who developed symptoms. so it is rare, about a quarter%

dr. sanjay gupta, who covered this really from the get-go. . >> yeah. >> first, what do we know? if dr. sakra was working with pregnant women, and babies, and wasn't working directly with these ebola patients, how did he get it? >> it's obviously unclear, a little mystery. could one of these women who he was caring for, a pregnant woman, even, also have been caring the ebola virus? we don't know. and some of those details may come out. it's sometimes hard to figure out, even with dr. brantly and miss writebol, not entirely clear. if these are doctors who know how to protect themselves. as you point out, you've got to know if you're coming in contact with the virus ahead of time. so that would become more clear. he's 51 years old. he and his wife have been volunteering with this organization since the 1980s. >> oh, wow. >> i thought it was interesting. he decided to go to liberia after dr. brantly and ms. writebol got sick with ebola. so he was well aware of these risks, again, not working in the ebola isolation center but still aware of these

dr. sanjay gupta. this other american doctor infected, he wasn't actually treating ebola patients. >> yeah, so this is a little mystery, exactly how did he contract this. what we know is he was working for the same organization where dr. brantly was working so they came underneath the same umbrella but he was actually working in the obstetrics ward with pregnant women, not in the isolation ward. when he got sick, he isolated himself and sounds like he's doing well. how did he get it? hopefully they will shed more light because that will be an important question to answer. >> tough words from the director of the cdc. the message seems to be things will get worse at least for the near term. >> anderson, there is hardly any details that have been given about what the plan is. we've heard that and i heard comments today, they echoed almost exactly what he said a month ago in front of congress, they need more resources, they need more technical expertise. i don't know what that means and some of the specifi

dr. sanjay gupta joins us now.anjay, you just heard him say he's hopeful but we can't rely and count on that ebola vaccine that's in trial today. give us a little more background. >> it does start today. there's going to be 20 healthy volunteers who are going to get this vaccine. the first one gets it today, second one tomorrow, third, and so forth. within three weeks, they are going to have everyone enrolled in this particular trial. what they are looking for over the next few months, really until the end of this year is safety. that's the first thing you look for in any clinical trial, to see is this safe. we know that the people who are getting the vaccine aren't getting the ebola virus itself, so there's no risk of infection to them to getting an ebola infection, for example, but they obviously want to make sure it doesn't cause any other side effects in the body and that's what they are testing. one thing i should point out when you listen to his comments, there's some bad news accident good news in his answer

dr. sanjay gupta joins me now.o the fact that the health department is investigating this clinic, what exactly are they looking for? >> well, you know, ultimately, they want to find out what happened here, specifically obviously the cause of death, but also what happened at this outpatient clinic. what medications were given, what sort of emergency plans were in place. really, a thorough evaluation. i should point out the fact that an investigation is happening is not that surprising when there is an unexpected complication, unexpected death at such a center. an investigation is often performed because these types of deaths are really rare. we talk about it, obviously, in the tragic wake of something like this but we're talking at .5%, less than that of having these type of complications. because they are that rare, that's in part what prompts on investigation, anderson. >> the reports are she was in cardiac and respiratory failure. what does that tell you and mean? >> the respiratory failure and arrest comes first
