there's no cause for every day new yorkers to be alarmed. ebola is an extremely hard disease to contract. it's transmitted only through direct contact with the blood or other bodily fluids of another individual. only through that direct contact can the disease be transmitted. it cannot be transmitted through casual contact or air-born fashion. new yorkers who have not been exposed to an infected person's bodily fluids are simply not at risk. and there's no reason for new yorkers to change their daily routine in anyway. i want to talk to the people who are with us at in point, and every new yorker should be proud of the leaders of our city agencies who have responded with extraordinary ability. we should be very proud of the men and women who have done the work in addressing this crisis, the months before the effort put into this has paid off. the preparation was extraordinary, the leadership, time and again proved to be ahead of the crisis. and that's why we have the situation under control, because they planned for months and they have been

also saying new yorkers get a flu shot because flu symptoms can be confounding with those of ebola. > thank you. i can assure you we're going to continue to monitor the news conference. we're going take a quick break. and when we come back, stocks are in rally mode yet again today. utility, healthcare and staples leading the way. you might think the sinking cost of crude oil would boost the american consumer, our next guest has a different take. commodities trader morgan downy expects it to drop below 70 and it could hurt more than just your energy investments. my name's louis, and i quit smoking with chantix. i had tried to do it in the past. i hadn't been successful. quitting smoking this time was different because i talked to my doctor and i... i got a prescription for chantix. along with support, chantix (varenicline) is proven to help people quit smoking. it was important to me that chantix was a non-nicotine pill. the fact that it reduced the urge to smoke helped me get that confidence that i could do it. some people had changes in behavior, thinking or mood, hostility, agitatio

we are one people, new yorkers. new yorkers have to be empowered to come back. it is the blue and the red that are the problem. the blue and the red is not the answer. it is a problem and that is what we have to take care of. we have to get people back involved. anytime you come up with something where somebody said about themething that races, start thinking about new yorkers and work on new york problem's. what is best for new york? whether we build a new stadium or women's empowerment or stop, core, we are new yorkers. we have the right to do what we have to do and we have to get back to be empowered to do that. >> yes, i will. let's go back to the racist stuff he is throwing out which is just despicable. i am proud to have been endorsed by the resident of the black -- the president of the black clergy in new york. and many latino leaders and black leaders throughout westchester county. i would never have gotten that endorsement or their support if we were racist. in fact, this lawsuit he is referring to was by the democratic administration before i got there

the mayor is not only riding the rails today, going underground trying to assure new yorkers that it wards of 10, 1 the mayor is expected at any moment. we have our live mikes ready to go. expecting to hear from the new york city mayor on the first case of ebola. in fact, we are not going to go to break because we hear he's entering the room. we're not exactly sure who is going to flank him at this news conference and which of the public health officials will be able to address the concerns of new york city and of the patient being treated at bellevue center right now but obviously with this many people, something has to be said about the circumstances that the city is under and the close quarters everybody maintains from grocery stores to gyms to parking areas to mass transit hospitals. everything. everything is within walking distance and it's the city that doesn't sleep because there's always something you can hear and people you can see. so one case of ebola in the city, obviously a grave case of concern. i want to mention to you, there was a special ambulance that was used, a who

new yorkers do complain. but new yorkers are very generous of spirit. yorkers appreciate when something special is taking place. >> another problem -- mother nature. >> there had to be a rule change in terms of us being able to bid on getting the super bowl. there was a rule that if it was an open exposed stadium, it had to be in a city where the average mean temperature the day of the game is above 50 degrees. that is clearly not the case in february in the new york and new jersey area. >> they changed that rule for this game. it went away. >> the stadium has a team of 1000 at the ready to clear snow from the stands with a network of chutes. facility operations vp dave duernberger says they are ready for the snow. >> we put a snowmelt on the 300 concourse, and one down here on the field. we have a 600-ton snowmelter we can use in the parking lot. they have a jet engine inside. the heat that is produced from the jet engines is what melts the snow. >> it is a big operation. >> no matter what the weather, it will be a great day. >> some of the greatest ga

they want new yorkers to know they can take the subway and they can spread knowing the likely hood newyorkers catching ebola is slim at this hour. >> helpful to know. how is the state responding to ebola now? andrew cuomo will be there at 7:00 eastern to discuss the state response. ebola also making the first appearance in a new different african nation. the confirmed case in a 2-year-old girl in mali. he was bought there from neighboring ginn any after her father died. she's in the hospital. >>> in spain five people are being monitored for possibly exposure to ebola are out of a hospital there. it includes a doctor, cleaning l l lady, and two salon workers. >>> in a team from china heading to an ebola hot spot. 150 specialists are expected to arrive in liberia today to help build and operate ebola treatment isn't centers there. >>> a huge new concern on a different subject. major questions about an attack on a group of officers by a man with a hatchet. surveillance video shows the man charging police with a weapon. two struck, one in critical condition today. he was hit in the head. t

it's important to help new yorkers understand the crucial information they need. clear all the things that ebola is not. all the ways it does not transmit. that still does not mean people can't do something to help in the crisis. first, if you or a loved one feels you may meet the qualifications, meaning you have traveled to the three countries in west africa afflicted in the last 21 days and you have a fever and other symptoms, it is crucial to call 911 immediately or the only other alternative, go to a hospital emergency room. i want to emphasize, the only two acceptable actions. call 911 or go to a hospital emergency room. do not wait, do not hesitate or wait to see if you get better or go to a private doctor's office. call 911 or go g to an emergency room. if a loved one may be afflicted and fits the criteria, call on their behalf to 911 or bring them to an emergency room. again, we have no other cases reported, but it's important that people understand that is the protocol. >> with that warning to new yorkers, mayor deblasio warning new yorkers if they have b

and they want new yorkers to know they can take the subway and proceed, knowing the likelihood of new yorkers catching ebola is extraordinarily slim at this hour. jo jo john? >> panic is not the answer here. thanks to poppy harlow. governor cuomo will be on "new day" in the 7:00 am hour to talk about the response to ebola here in new york. >>> a confirmed case in a 2-year-old girl in mali. world health organization says she was brought there by neighboring guinea after her father died. in spain, five people being monitored for possible exposure to ebola are out of a madrid hospital. they include a cleaning lady. 15 specialists are expected to arrive in liberia to help build and operate ebola treatment centers there. >>> other news, big news. huge new concern for new york police this morning, and new terror fears. attack on a group of officers by a man with a hatchet. surveillance video shows the man charging police with a weapon. two were struck, one in the head, in critical condition now. the others shot and killed the attacker. police are investigating any possible links to terroris

been a new yorker can tell you one thing. the last decade and a half in the city, there is almost nobody who inspires more confidence than firefighters. learning that the fire department in new york not only was the emergency medical response team dispatched to transport this doctor, we now know that initial transport is a big part of what you need to get right in terms of limiting contacts in making sure that infectious disease protocols are maintained from the very beginning. it's no surprise that the fire department was given responsibility for that. they don't just have one team designated that they have set up in relation to ebola to handle infectious disease cases like that. because it's the new york city fire department, of course, they have more than 30 of these teams constantly training. for dealing with all issues in terms of contagious elements and hazardous materials. new york city is a place, again, if you live here or have ever spent considerable time here in the last 15 or so years, we are of preparedness taken

and there is no reason for new yorkers to change their habits in anyway. if you look around the city the last few days on our web sates, streets, and restaurants, no one is changing their habits. new yorkers are strong, resilient, focused i think one of the reasons that has happened is because of the strong and clear voice a deep thank you for what she's done. thank you, dr. basset. >> we want to answer the question that all new yorkers are asking. what can they do? there are two things and only two things we're advising. if an individual believes they meet the characteristics that could suggest that they have been exposed to the disease, they have been in one of the three affected countries in the last 21 days or been in close intimate contact with someone who was, and additionally they have a fever, those individuals should either call 911 immediately or go to an emergency room. no other options. do not go to a private doctor. do not see if it passes by. immediately go to an emergency room if you are in that situation. and second, we have talked about th

we want to state at the outset, there is no reason for new yorkers to be alarmed. >> a new york cityosed with ebola after returning from west africa. we'll go live to bellevue hospital for the very latest. >>> t-minus 11, just days to go until the 2014 midterms. polls show many races are too close to call. >>> and another edition of "between two ferns." this time zach galifianakis interviews a well-known actor he calls bradley pitts. joe is here. this is "way too early." >> you don't even know that guy, who that guy is. he is hilarious. you see the clip? >> it's amazing. >> unbelievable. >> good morning, everybody. it's friday, october 24th. welcome to "way too early." thomas is off this morning. >> that guy never works. >> no, he's lazy. >> unbelievable. >> we begin this morning in new york city, where a doctor who recently returned from west africa has tested positive for the ebola virus. at this hour, dr. craig spencer is being treated at bellevue hospital. he is the fourth case diagnosed in the u.s. and the first outside of texas. here's what we currently know. dr. spencer is an

he hasn't put new yorkers at risk. es our risk of getting ebola here. we have a new african country affected. mali with the first case. if you want to panic about ebola, panic about it in west africa. >> here's another point of confusion. when people have tested positive for ebola here, such as with say thomas duncan, the passengers on his plane were alerted. were tracked done and alerted and monitored. why not passengers on subjectway that mr. spencer was riding on on wednesday. why not look for them? sanjay, can you hear me? >> so with the nurse i believe, amber vinson, you may be talking, about the passengers were alerted. there was a question whether she had a low-grade fever between her flight to cleveland and dallas. so the question was, did she have some symptoms? even though very low grade fever, could she possibly be transmitting the virus. the likelihood is very, very low. this term. abundance of caution, gets tossed around a lot. and i think that that's what we're seeing here, i think the science sort of says

new yorkers to be alarmed. high disease to contract. it is transmitted only through direct contact with the blood or other bodily fluids of another individual, only through that direct and intimate contact can the disease the transmitted. it cannot be transmitted through casual contact. it cannot be transmitted in airborne fashion. new yorkers who have not been exposed to infected person's bodily fluids are simply not at risk. there is no reason for new yorkers to change their daily routine in any way. i want to talk about the people who are here with us at this point and i want to say at the outset every new yorker should be proud of the leaders of the city agencies who have responded with extraordinary ability, we should be proud of the men and women who have done the work of addressing this crisis. some months of training and preparation -- stuart: we are going to break away from what the mayor is saying. he is about to introduce his colleagues in new york city. going to break away from that. we get back to

in 1927, it was unimaginable to new yorkers that the greatest urban building boom in modern history would soon collapse. it's collapse was shocking and sudden. this guy here, high living jimmy walker, who committed new york in these years, that he be brought low by charges of corruption and forced to resign. walker is one of the major characters in this book. he is fun to write about. i try to avoid -- most articles on walker tend to substitute analysis for anecdote. or anecdote for analysis. they don't get into him it. he is really an adjusting guy. his heart was in the right place, but he didn't have the energy and moral courage to stand up to the mob bosses. he got involved in a lot of corruption. they never put a single charge on him. they investigated him from his nose to his toes, and they couldn't put a charge on him that was triable in a court of law. the pressure from roosevelt, governor of new york at the time, rusher from al smith -- pressure from al smith forced him out of office. he is a great character. a quick wit. he learned everything through his ears. they would read off

most new yorkers would be like, what's the square footage? what's the rent?ake it. all right. so maybe the quarantine is a bit of an over reaction. or as our freedom personal liberty-lovin' congress calls it, government underreach. >> we need to look at travel bans. >> something like a forward operating base have people report 21 days before they're to leave the country. >> they wait for people no close than six feet. >> doctor, you can get ebola sitting next to someone upon a bus if they in fact throw up on you, can't you? [ applause ] >> doctor, let me ask you this, what if you are yawning, guy runs up throws his ebola diarrhea right in your mouth. >> jon: ebola in the mouth, boom. what are you going to do then? >> all right. i stand corrected. i guess quarantine and travel bans are the best way to fight the disease. >> the idea of a blanket quarantine for people who come back could possibly have a negative consequence of essentially disincentivising people to go there. the best way to protect americans is stop the epidemic in africa we need those health ca

again, both new york city and state officials are reassuring new yorkers about how difficult it is to contract ebola. joining us now with more on new york city's responses, dr. natalie aczar, with nyu. thank you for joining us. can i focus on one of the new facts? we initially heard the doctor's temperature was 103, then clarified as 100.3. that's significant, not the least of is his symptoms were less contagious at the time, is that right? >> that's correct. suggests every, very early in his illness. we know as patients get sicker, their viral load increases, which increases the risk of transmission, increases how contagious they are. frankly, i think this is, again, for the patient, too, let's keep in mind his safety of course. his recovery is also incredibly important to all of us. going from no fever to 103 which suggests a rapid increase or rapid onset of his symptoms. 100.3 is really more consistent with that early stage of illness where people feel that malaysian and joint pain, not just more flu-like, rather than getting so sick so quickly. >> to separate fact from fiction, i

if you were a new yorker 150 years ago, these are the stories you would have been reading about it if you opened up the "new york times," i will give you some specifics, you would have found a recipe for blackberry brandy for soldiers. i wanted to try to make it before i came so i could tell you how it was, but i did not have to appear you could have read about a baseball match between the philadelphia athletics and the brooklyn resolute. the philadelphia team won 29-12. i come from philadelphia, and you know i will never see a score like that in the near future from my hometown boys. you would have read excerpts --m graduates and speeches graduation speeches from colleges around new york and new england. you would have read about the ,rrest of an irish immigrant offense was having two wives, trial set for september. if you turn to the pages of the "new york herald," you could have come across a list of things to do in new york on the evening of july 30 1854. you could have gone to a concert at central park, weather-permitting. you could have seen a list of all the musicals and plays

craig spencer put new yorkers at risk? or was he acting responsibly as new york officials have claimed? our legal panel weighs in next. how can power consumption in china, impact wool exports from new zealand, textile production in spain, and the use of medical technology in the u.s.? at t. rowe price, we understand the connections of a complex, global economy. it's just one reason over 70% of r mutual funds beat

the fears and concerns of new yorkers. we have spoken many times about the reality of ebola. it's not an especially new disease. it was discovered in 1976. it is not like the flu. it's not easily caught. all of the evidence says it's transmitted through bodily fluids. once the person is infected and highly contagious. so there's no cause for general alarm. but again, we want the people of new york to know we are staying one step ahead. we are doing everything possible. some will say we are being too cautious. i will take that criticism because that's better than the alternative. as governor of new york, my number one job is to protect the people of new york, and this does that. with that, i will turn it over to mayor de blasio. >> thank you very much, governor. thank you. we have said for weeks now that the partnership between the state and city of new york has been exceptional. i reminded people earlier today at bellvue hospital the fact that the trajectory from the moment dr. spencer called and said he had a fever, from

and i will give you a sense of what new yorkers would have come across. now if you opened up a new york newspaper 150 years ago today, you would have read a smatd smattering of war news. you would have read about a rebel raid into maryland. would you have read about troop movements around peterburg, virginia, which is very close to where i live now. reports seem positive. u.s. grant seemed to be moving forward. would you have read about guerrilla welfare in northwest kentucky and read about the northwest conspiracy. i don't know how many of you are familiar with this but authorities had just uncovered, or so they claimed, this massive plot in the old northwest. today we know as the old northwest as the midwest. back then it was the norm west. there were supposed secret societies all over the place p. run by democratic leaders. and secret societies were organizing with confederate agents in canada and they were getting money and getting guns and the plan that these secret societies had was, we're going to take all these guns and go to union pow camps in the

a lot of new yorkers are going to have questions this morning. what is the most important thing for us to understand about how this disease does and does not spread? >> the most important thing to understand is that ebola is hard to catch, not spread through casual contact. you only get it through contact with blood and body fluids. this individual as soon as he started experiencing symptoms, a fever contacted the authorities and taken away in an appropriate fashion. this poses little risk to the general population of new york. >> we've heard that over and over again from experts that it is hard to catch and yet heard that doctors without borders have the best protocols for not catching it, so how did this doctor come down with it if it's hard to catch? >> it's something we need to figure out, because we don't know how he was infected. he himself didn't report any breach. doctors without borders has taken care of all 25 ebola outbreaks and had very little infections of their workers. this outbreak is unprecedented in scale, bigger than normal and

he is staff rider for "the new yorker." he has written for southern voices, to monthly, rolling dog at "the new yorker." many of his articles have won prizes, including two national magazine awards. he is the cowriter of movies, the siege and showtimes for the noriega favorite. he is an author of one novel and eight nonfiction looks, including in this nonfiction books, "the looming tower" al qaeda and the road to 9/11 and go in clear, scientology, hollywood and the prison of belief. his most recent book, 13 days in september, carter avakian at camp david this book brings us here today. -- "thirteen days in september." "the new york times" did it this past week. it is a glowing review of the work he has done. i think it probably sums it up best at the end when he says -- when the rider says, lawrence wright makes a masterly case that it's time we gave credit to jimmy carter, gave him full credit for all the live services in fire diplomacy had saved. it's a fascinating story. first time put into context in the book. please jo

the average new yorker and the average american, for that matter, is no risk of getting ebola. should everyone in new york take a deep breath? >> i don't think a deep breath. if you're worried about getting it on the bus or the subway, that's not going happen. the public has a low risk of contracting it. it's the health care workers at this time that we're concerned about. >> and apparently bellevue and really the city of new york has been really focussed on something like this possibly occurring. so it seems like they're pretty well equipped. >> right. because they were prepared. they saw fwhapd dallas and they did a mid course correction. they learned. we looked a the missteps and made mid course corrections to it. the cdc and s.w.a.t. team is on site to advise the doctors and nurses and health care workers coming in contact with the doctor. >> you know nina, these doctors are really extraordinarily experienced. they know the dangers they're going to face when they go to west africa to deal with ebola patients. i'm wondering is it just because they little mistakes occur or is

the message here from officials in new york to new yorkers is do not panic. we are as prepared as we could be. you should also know overnight the cdc rapid response team landed here in new york. they are also here helping, but here is how it all unfolded. >> we want to state at the outset there is no reason for new yorkers to be alarmed. >> reporter: this morning the first positive case of ebola hits new york city. 33-year-old dr. craig spencer now in an isolation unit like this one at manhattan's bellevue hospital. dr. spencer returned to new york after treating ebola patients in guinea last friday, though doctors say he wasn't symptomatic until yesterday. october 14th, dr. spencer flies from guinea to brussels, belgium, arriving at new york's jfk airport three days later, showing no symptoms during his journey. on tuesday, spencer feels tired and fatigued. he was self-monitoring for symptoms, taking his temperature twice a day, but without a fever, he goes out in public. wednesday he goes on a three-mile run, eats at a restaurant and visits the popular park

we want to state at the outset there is no reason for new yorkers to be alarmed. >> officials say the doctor had been in the hospital with a fever. they say he was working for doctors without borders in west africa, where the epidemic is spreading. they say the man is now in isolation at a hospital in new york city, designated for treating ebola patients. if it is confirmed the doctor has ebola, he will be the second person to develop symptoms in the u.s. after contracting the virus in west africa. now, once again, officials say a doctor has tested positive for ebola. we'll bring you more details on this developing story as they come in. >>> now, an increasing number of medical workers in countries outside of west africa have been falling sick with the ebola virus, as we've been reporting. now, officials at the japanese health ministry are about to take steps to make sure medical institutions in japan safeguard their staff. the officials plan to call on medical institutions to confirm whether anyone who shows up with a fever and other symptoms has visited west africa in the preceding

new yorkers now wondering, are we at risk? >> i think we can be pretty confident in saying to the public you really don't have any kind of substantive chance for getting ebola from dr. spencer taking a subway ride or eating at a restaurant unless there was direct contact with bodily fluids at a time that he already had symptoms. >> and virus free nbc cameraman ashoka mukpo tweeting this out, i hope that as information comes out about the new york city case, we remember he's a doctor who risked his life to help others. nbc's chris pollone is outside the hospital. chris, what is the latest? >> reporter: dara, this doctor has been back in the united states for a week after treating ebola patients in guinea. now city and state leaders are trying to convince the public that they're not at risk. new york city mayor bill de blasio confirms the ebola arrived in the nation's most populous city. >> testing confirmed that a patient here in new york city has tested positive for ebola. the patient is now here in bellevue hospital. we want

the told new yorkers situation is under control. shelby -- shelby halladay has been covering this story. i have been speaking with her about the maersk comments. dexia started off thinking .ealth officials about theextensively extremely low risk to average citizens in new york city and it was very clear he was trying to calm fears. >> there is no cause for alarm. new yorkers need to understand the situation is being handled and handled well. there is no cause for everyday new yorkers to be alarmed. ebola is extremely hard disease to contract. it is transmitted only through lead orontact with other bodily fluids of another individual. he said there is no need to change everyday life and he also highlighted some differences york.his case and new compared to dallas the patient here was diagnosed immediately. closed offnt was immediately and evacuated. and health officials also addressed this case immediately. things have been moving quickly. they have been very transparent. even before we found out, the team toatch the special come to

. >> there is no reason for new yorkers to be alarmed. new yorkers who have not been exposed to an infected person's body fluids are not at all at risk. we want to emphasize in new york city as the world's strongest public health system, the world's leading medical experts and the world's most advanced medical equipment. >> we are as ready as one could be for this circumstance. what happened in dallas was actually the exact opposite. dallas unfortunately was caught before they could really prepare, before they really knew what they were dealing with in dallas. and we had the advantage of learning from the dallas experience. >> and you know, it's really important to realize that if you look at the dallas experience, he actually went in the first time to the hospital with 103 fever, got discharged -- i'm talking about in dallas. nobody got sick that first time. when he went back and was advanced stages, that's when the problems really exploded. when his symptoms were really out. not so much of a worry for new york city hopefully. the cdc's

at this time but, again, the governor and the mayor saying it is highly unlikely that any other new yorker would be contracting this and saying there is no better health system in the country, they say, than new york to take care of this. no better hospital to take care of this than where i'm standing, bellevue. >> poppy, let's talk about that because during the press conference the governor of new york andrew cuomo said there are eight hospitals in new york state who are equipped for ebola. who can do the most intense ebola treatment. 200 hospitals in the state he says all of them are ready but can't do the intensive treatment needed for this but bellevue one of those and said that was the right thing to do considering what just transpired today. >> reporter: yeah, it is the one. we might have photos from two weeks ago and ran a big drill in front of the media showing us their emergency department, quarantine centers and isolation unit right upstairs preparing for exactly that and heard the new york city health commissioner spoke and she said we've been preparing for this for months. know

did many everyday things new yorkers do. don champion reports from manhattan. >> reporter: cleaning crews armed with oxygen tanks and protective gear started scrubbing down dr. craig spencer's upper manhattan apartment friday. >> there's no reason for new yorkers to change their daily routine in any way. >> reporter: while city officials repeated calls not to panic, a photographer outside spencer's building covered himself with a hood and ski goggles. residents are allowed to come and go from the building but some neighbors don't think that should be allowed. >> i think the building should be quarantined, like, you know, due to this scary situation that's at hand. >> reporter: dr. spencer returned from treating ebola patients in west africa last week. "new york post" video showed spencer being rushed to bellevue hospital with a low grade fever. health officials say dr. spencer has been helping medical detectives retrace his steps. he has also been making phone calls from the isolation unit. his girlfriend and two friends hav
