dr. william shaffner, the president of the the hospital at vanderr built. i want to talk to you dr. shaffner, and you one of the country's leading experts in infectious diseases, and walk me through when dr. frieden at cdc says we are looking at other things that could be done to protect the u.s. public like entry screening. explain to me what that might involve or something that you are looking at down the pike that the u.s. could do? >> well, beyond the general education of the public which is very, very important, the entry screening would be trying to identify people who have recently been in west africa and they did not necessarily fly directly to the united states from west africa and so you would have to screen a lot of people by questionnaire, and you would ask them if they have been feeling ill, and you could very rapidly take their temperature using new kind of electronic devices. so i'm sure that is the sort of thing that they are thinking about, but if you have ever been on any plane that has come into the united states, they are huge planes, and diskorageing a number of

dr. william shaffner, who is head of the department of family medicine at vanderbilt university and also,nior associate at the pittsburgh medical center, and dr. robert macgregor-skinner remains with us. so dr. shaffner, can you talk to us about the breach of protocol, and explain to us exactly what that means to you about what happened? >> well, something obviously inadvertent happened, because the nurse to date has not reported an overt breach, and her colleagues working with her have not reported that a breach took place. however, this is early days in the investigation, and if subsequent information comes out, we will find it. as many of us have said, the most hazardous moment is actually when you are going on break, when you are off of your shift, and after working in the intensive environment like this with all of the protective equipment, you are eager to take it off. and you need to be with a buddy, because that moment of disrobing is the most hazardous. it is more hazardous there than taking care of the patient. >> dr. hidalgia, can you tell us how is it that the nurse involved s
