pandemic. it's an all hands on deck call notifying all personnel across the agency to mobilize all of the resources and dedicated towards some sort of emerging threat. in this case, the ebola outbreak, which is so widespread in west africa. listen. >> we see this as a marathon. it's going to take months to bring this under control. so we're going to need multiple people over time to rotate in to serve some of the response functions overseas and here in the eoc. >> reporter: the cdc has 31 people working over there in those affected countries in africa. 19 others plan to go over the next few days. shannon? >> jonathan, thank you very much. >>> this is a fox news alert on the crisis in iraq. the u.s. is considering military options in the face of relentless advances from isis. but a short time ago, white house press secretary josh ernest basically donnedged the question. >> that sort of assessment is done after and in conjunction with careful coordination and cooperation with iraqi security forces. so if there are specific needs that need to be met in terms of enhancing iraq's security forces capability, then we will look to provide it. >> all this as isis militants continue

ebola outbreak, the cdc declaring a level 1 activation of its emergency activation center. jonathan. >> reporter: hi, greta. this is the highest level of activation something the cdc has not done since the 2009 h1n1 pandemic. a spokesman says this is largely an all hands on deck call for africa and not increased threat in the u.s. where modern quarantine and hygiene procedures are in place. here, hospital patients and international travelers are screened and if need be, isolated. the cdc has a number of quarantine rooms and we got a picture of one such room at the airport in newark, a person suspected of having ebola can be isolated or cleared and sent to a hospital. hospitals are screening patients with recent travel to africa who have gastrointestinal problems and a person at mount sinai hospital has tested negative. and the patient continued to improve. h at auburn university it appears to stop the effects in animals but won't be available until the future. and another drug administered to two american missionaryies for ebola and took it before they left africa and say it's too early to tell whether z map has played a role of improving in their isolated conditions. they are currently improving in ththe

that the ebola out break is the largest, longest in history and requires a extraordinary response to stop its spread. agency declare similar emergency from the swine flu in 2009 and that pandemic and for polio in may of this year. >>> 5:11. time for weather on the one's with caitlin and a check of traffic good morning to you kerry, good morning if you are just joining us. we are looking at a beautiful friday forecast. happy friday to everyone. temperatures very nice in the mid 60's there are to the drive-in. sixty-five is that beginning temperature for the day. that is where we are right now. we will jump close to 80 degrees by noon time with sunshine, and a few more clouds this afternoon. unlike yesterday afternoon we will get less cloud cover. eighty-five for the high temperature. very comfortable with low humidity. down the shore today more sunshine kind of got lock in with the cloud cover yesterday afternoon. sunshine and high temperatures in the the lower 80's along the beach, might be cooler in the upper 70's but we have beach wind north at 10 miles an hour, surf temperature 74. great day down the shore. don't forget that is where our jen fred will be in ocean city. 476

pandemic. i decide to leave it one last thing, because you didn't mention it and i'm sure it is in everyone's mind. ebola it is a very big contrast in how the united states has worked effectively in partnership with countries. the last five or six ebola outbreaks you haven't even heard about. you haven't heard about them because scientists and clinicians in those countries had the immediate infrastructure, a laboratory infrastructure, the knowledge base. when those patients came in, they were merely isolated. the laboratories diagnosed them. there is one case in uganda or five cases in drc. another one or two case in uganda. i think all of us should feel guilty in a way that sierra leone and liberia and guinea did not have the resources to really identify that -- those cases in the laboratory. i think it speaks to the infrastructure in the laboratories that have been built, have been really critical to the health system. sometimes we ignore the laboratory and we shouldn't because it is absolutely critical. one more gap. long acting prep would be amazing. we have vulnerable young women who may not have th

pandemic in 2009. it means more resources and people at cdc are dedicated to the ebola outbreak. the director will explain the steps they are taking at a house hearing this afternoon. the chairman of the subcommittee holding that hearing told us he wants to learn more about the secret serum credited with saving the lives of two american missionaries with ebola. >> i think it is very important that we hear the judgment of those professionals who are charged with handling infectious diseases, but also how to curtail the spread of a virus like this one. >> reporter: we will have a crew at the hearing and have continuing coverage throughout the day. live in washington, kyla campbell, ktvu channel 2 news. >>> a company in pleasanton says it has developed a device that can spot the ebola virus within minutes. lyle probes says the handheld device can test blood samples that don't need to be sent to a lab and results are available in about 15 minutes. probe says it makes it adeal to have in an airport. he also hopes to make it available to third world countries battling ebola. >> if you

writes the ebola outbreak in west africa has so far infecteded more than 1450 people and killed close to 800. while the outbreak is frightening, it does not pose the risk of a pandemic influenza, sars or mers. it can slow travel or trade. this can have proeffects on the economies where the disease appears. he also says that the most common question gets about ebola .s this i hear wherever i travel, can ebola travel to the united states? it can. john f. kennedy airport in new york city annually receives more than 21 million international passengers. an infected individual could board a flight in west africa. become summit mat nick the air after landing and expose others to the virus. at worse, this might result in a few other people becoming infected and possibly dying but sustained outbreaks would not occur in the u.s. because cultural factors in developing world that spread ebola such as intimate contact while family and friends are caring for sick and during preparation of bodies for burial common in the developed world. here is grady in akron, ohio on the democrats line. should the u.s. invest more in africa? make sure you mute your television or radio and go on
