dr. jon lapook who is working intern's hours. he is on the job all the time here lately. dr. lapook bring us up to speed. it looks like these are going to be more stringent guidelines. what do we need to be doing that we are not doing? what have we done that works? and what didn't work? >> well, i think the biggest point here is he is saying we have to be thinking on our feet. if the protocols did not work the way they were then we have to change them. and i spoke to one of my colleagues in nyu medical center where i am a professor and he said it's about the nitty-gritty. in the emergency room and up in the hospital thinking about protocols there are things they did not used to think about. there is a green and yellow and red zone. the red zone is where the patient is actually is. and they are think being moving the door for example to put to give you more space in the red zone so when were youth in you are able to take off your equipment and put it in bins before going into the yellow room. things like that that we weren't doing before. he is talking about having a buddy sys

dr. jon lapook in washington tonight, jon, thanks. ebola was discovered in the 1970s, so we were wonder yg is there no vaccine? juliana goldman has been looking into this. >> reporter: the national institutes of health began working on an ebola vaccine after 9/11 when bioweapons were a big concern. but getting from test tubes to humans is expensive and complicated, especially for an exotic disease that until now was popping up in small numbers and contained to another continent. why don't we have an ebola vaccine now? >> up until the outbreak of ebola in west africa, it was not a very high priority. >> reporter: dr. myron levin is an infectious disease specialist at the university of maryland school of medicine. he's been working on vaccines, including one for ebola, for 44 years. >> with limited resources to test vaccines, et cetera, one always has to pick and choose what are the highest priorities. >> reporter: and when stacked against everyday threats like cancer and the flu, there wasn't a financial incentive for pharmaceutical co

"jew, jew, cowardly pig," they say. >> we haven't had this dimension at all before. when you imagine that in german streets, you hear people chanting, a roaring mob chanting, "jews to be gassed, to be slaughtered, to be burned." >> reporter: dieter graumann is the chairman of the central council of jews in germany. do you see it as well as having spiked because of the passions that were stirred up by the events in gaza? >> well, it's cited as a reason for that, but i don't think it's a reason. it

dr. jon lapook. i saw the piece earlier and you still get a catch in your thought when you are -- throat when you are watching that story to unfold. it's impossible not to be touched by seeing scenes like that. >> that is for sure. and you know, you see what she said at the end of being invisible that is one of the things that is so frightening to people. but earlier we heard from the nurse who was giving information about what happened. and it rings so true because when i was a third year medical student i was taken by the elbow to a woman in the hospital and he said this is the chief nurse the head nurse. always listen to the nurses. they are on the frontlines and they are taking care of the patients they know what is happening. and so when the nurses are talking here, boy, should we ever listen to them. >> schieffer: we certainly heard them with the bark off. we've heard bureaucratic language and pr strategies and all that. but everytime i've heard one of the nurses talk about the situation they p

dr. jon lapook is here. jon, new york and new jersey have talked about mandatory quarantining for people arriving from west africa who have had contact with ebola patients. but what about the rest of the country? >> reporter: well, the other states may decide to follow suit. but i just spoke to the c.d.c., and they're coming up with their own revised guidelines. and their concern is they want to be able to strike the right balance. on the one hand, they want to protect the general public, but on the other hand, they don't want to do anything to impede our ability to respond to the outbreak in west africa. for example, if you tell a health care worker, when you come back, you're going to be quarantined for 21 days, they may decide "i'm not going over." >> rose: people are still concerned as they read all these things about how they may contract the disease. what are doctors telling you to reassure them that it requires some contact with body fluids? >> reporter: well, i came across a study that i found very r

dr. jon lapook is in washington tonight with more about that. jon? >> the present call for treating ebola is complicated. here's just one step from the c.d.c. guidelines, "as you are removing the gown, peel off your governors at the same time, only touching the inside of the gloves and gown with your bare hand," so the hospital staff in dallas may not have had time to properly train for a disease they likely never expected to see. we sat down with dr. anthony fauci, the head of infectious diseases at the national institutes of health, and asked about the challenge of training hospital workers. how long does it take for the workers to be adequately trained? >> it takes a while. it takes a while. it could take a couple weeks. it's not going to happen, like, okay, go through it once. >> in dallas we thought the protocol was -- >> quite frankly, the proof is in the pudding. the training was not adequate. the training was not adequate. we have to make sure the training is adequate so that if a patient comes into a hospital and that hospital is taking care

dr. jon lapook is here. and, jon what, you have learned? >> reporter: scott, we should emphasize the patient is awaiting test results so we don't know if he has ebola. what makes this different from other cases that have turned on the to be false alarms is this patient reportedly returned from west africa in the last weeks. that's the time symptoms most often start to appear, and tonight, he is showing some of those symptoms. the doctor, craig spencer had returned from guinea after working with ebola patients for the aid group doctors without borders. the new york city health department said he had a fever of 103 and gastrointestinal symptoms. he contacted officials and isolated himself. this video shot by the "new york post," shows spencer being taken from his apartment in manhattan to bellevue hospital by a specially trained unit wearing personal protective equipment. bellevue is the designated ebola treatment center in new york city. the new york city health department is investigating everyone the patient had contact with to identify wh

dr. jon lapook spoke to new york city's health commissioner, dr. mary bassett. >> reporter: you can imagine people are understandably concerned. maybe he should have been quarantined for 21 days. >> he did not have symptoms at that time. he had not yet had a fever, and when he had a fever, he absolutely immediately notified the public health authorities, and all the right actions were taken after that. and his temperature was not that high. he didn't say, "let me wait and see if it goes up." he measured the temperature of 100.3 and he picked up the phone. >> reporter: kaci hickox ends her article by saying, "we need more health care workers to help fight the epidemic in west africa. the u.s. must treat returning health care workers with dignity and humanity." and tonight, officials here at bellevue hospital report dr. craig spencer has entered the next phase of illness and is having gastrointestinal symptoms. and, michelle, spencer's fiancÉ, who was also isolated here, has been released from the hospital under quarantine. >> miller: jericka duncan
