that's really the question here. >> elizabeth cohen.o all of our cnn correspondents and analysts that participated in this conversation. we'll be back with much more in the "newsroom." you know it can be a struggle to keep your a1c down. so imagine ... what if there was a new class of medicine that works differently to lower blood sugar? imagine loving your numbers. introducing once-daily invokana®. it's the first of a new kind of prescription medicine that's used along with diet and exercise to lower blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes. invokana® is a once-daily pill that works around the clock to help lower a1c. here's how: the kidneys allow sugar to be absorbed back into the body. invokana® reduces the amount of sugar allowed back in ... and sends some sugar out through the process of urination. and while it's not for weight loss, it may help you lose some weight. invokana® can cause important side effects including dehydration, which may cause some people to have loss of body water and salt. this may also cause you to feel di

we've got cnn senior medical correspondent elizabeth cohen on the phone with us. elizabeth, let's start with the four people who are in nebraska. >> reporter: victor, those four, they have the highest -- they had the highest exposure to ebola so you consider them -- you can consider them the highest risk patients. those patients are being watched, they're being monitored and they've self-quarantined. so they are in their housing on the campus of the university of nebraska medical center. they're not in hospital, they are in housing on campus and officials are watching them to make sure that they don't leave. now it will take some time, you know, several weeks will have to pass by before we know if they have ebola or not. now others, those going to atlanta or going to the nih, not all of those folks will be quarantined. some of them will and some won't. some will be allowed to be out and about while they're in the community while being watched for signs of ebola. >> how do they determine who is able to leave and be out and about? i'm assuming it's because of the ser

let's bring in cnn senior medical correspondent elizabeth cohen joining us by phone. izabeth, start with the four who are in omaha. what do we know about them? >> reporter: what we know about them, victor, these four had the highest level of exposure compared to the others in this group. so they have the highest level of exposure. they are monitored for fever and any other symptoms of ebola and being watched to make sure they don't leave their quarantine. having said, that as you and christi said before, it's important to remember, these folks have not shown any signs of ebola so, therefore, they are not a threat to the public. you can't get someone sick with ebola unless you, yourself, is showing signs of the disease. >> it's interesting they are sent to three of four faelvecils that can handle ebola in the united states. is that so not one hospital will than overwhelmed? >> that's right. you wouldn't want to overwhelm one hospital and send all ten there. it's best to spread them out. what they are doing is say, look, these may never have ebola and but if they do, we

elizabeth cohen explains how lily was able to stay alive. >> reporter: late friday night, a man living outside salt lake city hears a crash. he looks outside his door and sees nothing. what he doesn't know a car has skidded off the road and is now partially submerged in the spanish fork river. it takes until noontime saturday for the car to be spotted. a local fisherman sees the overturned vehicle in the water. >> the witness said there was an arm he could see inside the vehicle. >> reporter: the fisherman calls 911. police officers respond and wade out to the car. >> felt like i could hear somebody telling me they needed help. it was, it was very surreal. something that i felt like i could hear. >> reporter: they're not sure where the voice came from. when they get to the car, the scene is grim. 25-year-old lynn jennifer gross beak is dead in the driver's seat but in the back seat they find her daughter lily, just 18 months. lily is in her car seat hanging upside down in a part of the car not in the water. she's unresponsive but alive. >> i grab the baby in my arm. raised its head up

elizabeth co-cohen, cnn reporting. >> we were blown away by her rescuers who made that possible.ater. both members of the spanish fork fire department. and officers jared warner and tyler bedos of the spanish fork police. i spoke to them a short time ago. tyler, take us back to the moment you first arrived at the vehicle. did you think there was any possibility that someone could still be alive in there? >> when we first got the report there was a vehicle upside down in the river, a fisherman had walked by the vehicle, we didn't know if it was abandoned or anyone was inside the vehicle. it wasn't until we were about there that we got a report saying that they could see an arm protruding from the vehicle. >> so how much of the vehicle was submerged at that point, jared? >> the roof, it was upside down in the river. water was probably eight inches from the top of the door frame where the window meets. so definitely the roof section was submerged. >> and was lily in the water itself? >> not at that moment. she was fortunately placed at the rear of the vehicle in the back seat. when

joining me on the phone, cnn medical correspondent elizabeth cohen. poppy, we know these ten or so folks are headed either to the nih outside of washington, d.c. or to the university of nebraska or to emory university hospital in atlanta. they will not be admitted to these institutions. instead they will be housed in hotels or similar places, and they'll stay there for the 21 days after we start counting from when they were possibly exposed. of course if they get sick they'll be admitted to the hospital. now, some of these folks will quarantine themselves and will not leave their housing. others however, will be leaving their housing, we're told. but again, none of these folks have ebola that we know of. they just at this point have been possibly exposed. and so they want to just make sure they don't get ebola so they'll be very closely monitored. >> i know looking at this cdc release, elizabeth, it says that these are people who worked alongside an american volunteer health care worker in sierra leone who did test positive for ebola. so i know it's im

joining me now is elizabeth cohen, a former ntsb board member and safety expert. welcome to both of you. again, it was a french newspaper that reports in 2010 this co-pilot received anti-psychotic injections. elizabeth, what are anti-psychotic injections? >> well, they are injections in and the same medicine can be used in a pill form that are meant to work on some one -- to help someone who has a psychosis. it's where you have delusions and you're hallucinating and you have manic episodes. these are folks who might have bipolar disorder and used on folks with depression and the depression has moved into a psychosis. i want to emphasize, these are very heavy-duty drugs. this is not a prozac or antidepressant. it's used for people who have a serious mental illness. >> so what kinds of serious mental illnesses? what could fall under a category in which you have to get these sorts of injections? >> right. so these kinds of injections are us used for people with manic depression and schizophrenia. those are two of the big ones. and, again, what you're concerned about w

let's bring in cnn senior medical correspondent elizabeth cohen. >> we don't know what level of exposure and that is really important. for example, if, you know, someone, say, had been near some of the people and that person had vomited on them, that would be considered a very high level of exposure. if, say, for example, they were just working alongside this person and may have had some exposure that would be a much lower level of exposure. we don't know what is going on here. what we do know is four of these folks arrived at nebraska last night. and they have the highest level of exposure according to the university of nebraska and they are quarantined in housing on the university of nebraska medical campus. the other six are scheduled to arrive today and tomorrow at emory university in atlanta. some of those will be quarantined and won't be leaving their hotel or housing they are in, but some allowed to come and go. different rules for people, probably based on those different levels of exposure. >> elizabeth, do we know if any of the persons are showing any symptoms of ebola thus far

senior medical correspondent elizabeth cohen is following this story. h, obviously this getting a little bit more -- another piece of the puzzle though there's still a lot we don't know about the nature of his medical condition, his mental condition. >> reporter: right, anderson. that's going to be key in understanding why this man did what he did. i want us to be very very careful here because many people suffer from mental illness, but they don't, excuse me drive a plane into a mountain top. so i think it would be fassel and a big mistake to say let's say if it turns out that he has depression oh, he has depression that's why he did it. i think we need to be very very careful that mental health diagnoses are very complex, they can be very difficult to make and they are, you know rarely when you have this kind of outlook they're rarely simplistic. >> the whole range of mental illnesses, mental health issues can be treated. to your point, there are plenty of people millions of people living lives, productive lives, able to work in very complex jobs who h

let's bring in peter, tom, less and elizabeth cohen. let's get to the first question.t tell you anything? if the co-pilot was determined to crash? >> we don't know. >> they could have gone down. eight minutes it took them to descend 38,000 feet and crash into the alps. they could have done it more quickly. good question. miranda asks why don't we have live cam ares on planes to when we detect something wrong we can help the innocent and take over and help? >> the airlines don't want it. i don't know one that shot 149 people at one time. >> that could be live sent to some place. we've got the technology. they have to do it. less a question for you from bob. why is the second black box -- this is for you les -- so hard to find if pinging like it's supposed to? could the pinger be damaged? >> well the pinger is used primarily for underwater situations. in this particular circumstance it would have been the emergency locater transmitter because of the impact with the ground. back to the camera situation, that wasn't going to help this airplane. having a camera in the cockp

first, though lily and her incredible story from our elizabeth cohen. >> reporter: late friday night a man living in this yab nood outside of salt lake city hears a crash. he looks outside his door and sees nothing. what he doesn't know a car has skidded off the road and is now partially submerged in the spanish fork river. it takes until noontime saturday for the car to be spotted. a local fisherman sees the overturned vehicle in the water. >> a witness said there was an arm he could see inside the vehicle. >> reporter: the fisherman calls the 911. >> it felt like i could hear somebody telling me they needed help. it was very surreal. something that i felt like i could hear. >> reporter: they're not sure where the voice came from. when they get to the car, the scene is grim. 25-year-old lynn jennifer grossbeck is dead in the driver's seated. but in the back seat, rescuers find her daughter lilly, just 18 months old. she's in her car seat hanging upside down in a part of the car not submerged in the water. the toddler is unconscious and unresponsive but alive. the officers flip the c

. >> let's talk about the psychological testing or lack thereof of elizabeth cohen.'s begin with pilot mental health screenings. they don't use them ordinarily once hired. what about here in the united states? >> a lot of people will be surprised to hear we don't use them in the united states after someone is hired. we don't do regular screening or testing for any kind for psychological issues. pilots get physicals once or twice a year. examiners are given explicit instructions of what to ask. i want to read you a part of that. it says the faa does not expect the examiner to perform a psychiatric examination. they don't do them and don't expect them to do a formal psyche exam. >> we're not talking someone that had been on the job 20 years. he was hired in the last few years. so when he underwent psychological testing, what kinds of questions -- what would they have looked at? >> when he was first hired? >> yes. >> that test was probably -- they do testings regularly when they hire police officers. it is thorough when they look for a variety of different things that c

. >> joining us is elizabeth cohen. you know, we all have young kids here. how did this kid manage to survive? is this just a reinforcement about how important car seats are? >> absolutely, john. the reason this baby survived is she had a great mother who put her in the right car seat, who strapped her in, who did it the way she was supposed to. that's why this baby didn't go through a window. that's why this baby didn't end up being submerged in the water. she's so cute. this is a tribute to car seats and that's why car seats are a huge success story. generally in public health and this is exhibit a. >> especially when you think that what we're learning is she was not submerged in the water but the fact that rescuers, seven rescuers involved had to be treated for hypothermia. you know the medicine behind it. there's no way if she had been in the water that this little girl would have made it. >> in the water would have been a whole different situation. surviving dry, cold temperatures is much easier. much more doable than surviving wet, cold temperatures. w

cnn medical correspondent elizabeth cohen is with me now. is it that they worked with this person or they were in the same area of treatment? >> they all worked for partners in health which is a boston-based aid group. and they work all around the world to help people. they all work for partners for help in sierra leone. so the person who has ebola was ill, and they tried to help him or her, so now they may have been possibly exposed. >> but these people were there trying to help people with ebola. why would it be different when it's one of their own, when you're talking about the same kind of equipment and precautions are being taken, right. >> you're talking about why didn't they have these moon suits on. but they may not have known that this person had ebola. having said that you can take care of someone with ebola and not get ebola. you can just be near them and not get ebola. you need contact with their bodily fluids that's serious. but if you were just near them that's not as serious of a risk. we don't know how much expose they exist.
