some are considering bringing back the t.b. sanitarium where victims were quarantined. >> a quarantine was debated for month t and months. and from 1993 to 1994, 46 patients were forced sfwoo isolation. the comprehensive policy was led by public health officials with a system of checks and balances. patients had a right to a court hearing within five days of the isolation. it was, in other words, due process. >> our states have to be the most individual lent. and we are going to be the most individual lent. >> but this weekend, the state of new jersey ordered a nurse into forced isolation for three days against the advice of leading health experts with no hearing for process of appeals. of course, the hearing probably played well on the campaign report trail. >> so let me play devil's advocate here. what's the problem with caution, right? are these people medical workers? they're exposed to ebola? throw them in quarantine. what's the harm? >> one harm is if you keep doing that, whoa's going to liberia, sierra leone and guinea n

self-reporting, and i found a quote from you from december 2011 at the george come stock lecture in t.b. research, patients lie. about a third of patients don't take medication as prescribed and a third don't take them at all. can dill lewd yourself and think they are taking their. if we see people take their meds we believe they took them. now, doctor, reliant on self-reporting and making certain that people tell us the truth before they leave, and then that we catch the fever at the right time, if they can a temperature, we have to do better than this, we are here to work with you, and we expect a better outcome. >> take has expired. >> i'd like to thank the panel for joining us today. dr. freeden i was happy to hear you say we will consider any options to protect americans i think that's the purpose of everyone here today. i do want to ask you about texas.

just like we did it for the plague, t.b., like aids is being vanquished.o it is this solidarity of the international community that we are requesting. to support the victims. >> go here first. go ahead. either way. you decide. >> thank you. thank you. let me compliment what my brother just said, but in a different way. i think even threw the partnership like this one, provided by the opportunity of this summit africa needs -- we need to continue building our capacities and strengthening our institutions, to enable us to avoid over dependency that has been there for too long. but we avoided that by building capacities and cooperation and integration. people working together. so that we are able to own up to our mistakes, to our weaknesses. and own up to our solutions and contributing to our solutions. so that we can even tell our story. you find we even depend on others to tell our story. so that's how destruction has come about. so i really think there's not much time to waste as time goes with africa, in terms of building this consensus, this working toge

it's an area where health officials have been fieblgt e fighting t.b. for a while.ou have to get back to reporting. thank you sr. much. i ally appreciate it. >>> new york city is a place where the stakes have very high for any disease outbreak. it's a city that's worked very hard to combat tuberculosis. one of the similar achievements of dr. frooedman, was, for a hong time, the department of pub hick health. one of his achievements was very choes to combatting the outbreak here in new york even sending people to watch folks take their medicine because new york poses such a challenge for anyone trying to e strain a virus or an epidemic because of how compact it is. we have mayor deblasio earlier today when he was, for the first time, addressing this issue that news had broken that a possible ebola patient had been taken to bellevue. here he is again. >> the important facts to know here, without going through too much detail, the individual in question is a doctor. has been able to work very closely with public authorities and providing careful information. we have so

right now there's only one paetsch whoemt's ever been diagnosed with t.b. -- i'm sorry, ebola -- in the u.s. and that individual tragically died today. we're tracing the 48 people, ten with definite and 38 with possible contact. number of them as of today has had fever or symptoms suggestive of ebola. but we recognize we're not out of that 21-waiting day period and we're actually at the peak incident period of 8 to 10 days. so it's certainly a time when we're anxious and carefully assessing. >> may i follow up briefly. was he one of the people you've been monitoring? >> we'd have to get back to you on that. my understanding is he had neither definite contact nor definite symptoms suggestive of ebola. next in the room? >> hi. i'm noah levy with "los angeles times." given the demand for manpower and supplies in west africa, are there critical resources being used for screen progress sayses that could better be utilized on the ground in west africa or elsewhere? >> the screening program here is not diverting from or in any way undermining our efforts in west africa. temperatures will be ta

public health issue and dealt such a dealt with in way that there were no other cases contracted of t.b. paeurp doesn't appear right now that we're treating this public health issue. have to commercial nights to send nights into a country. if we were treating this as a issue why would we not immediately stop these lights and then on a case-by-case basis send as pment and people necessary and on a case-by-case basis allow people to come out. do we have to have commercial flights that, under procedures screening that you've talked about, you're mathematicallyed to miss some people? with due respect i don't accept that answer. flights simply because we need to get people in. i understand. our experience has been that interruptions in impedes the t response.alth although there might be work military transport, it's -- andicult and right now time is of the essence. -- who makes that decision? is that a presidential decision a secretary of state decision? that is a secretary of homeland decision? makes that decision about banning flights? sir, i'd just like to point out and i'll defer to chie

health issue and dealt with, and dealt with in such a way that there were no other cases contracted of t.b. it really doesn't appear to be right now that we're treating this primarily as a public ealth issue. in direct response to the chairman about why we don't stop flights from these countries in africa, your response was was because we need to send team and supplies over there to combat the disease. well, obviously, that's something that needs to be done, but as governor sanford pointed out, you don't have to have commercial flights to send flights into a country. if we were really treating this as a public health issue, why would we not immediately stop these flights? and then on a case-by-case basis, send equipment and ople as necessary and on a case-by-case basis allow people to come out? why do we have to have commercial flights that, under the best of screening procedures that you've talked about, you're almost guaranteeing mathematically to miss some people. so with due respect, i -- i don't accept that answer. we can't stop flights simply because we need to get people in. do you

>> bellevue is a specially outfitted hospital that has an isolation ward they converted from an old t.b. ward to handle ebola patients. they have a special lab and people trained and drilled. this is as close to a bio containment facility that they have. those workers volunteering to take care of this physician all should be well-trained and should not have any chance of infection so long as the protocol is followed. the c.d.c. is there to assist with the procedures and hopefully this will not have any other repercussions. everything seems to be handled according to plan now. >> doctor, thank you. >> new york city police are looking for answers this morning after they killed a man who attacked two officers with a hatchet. the suspect struck them while they were posing for a picture, those two officers in the hospital with non-life threatening injuries. police shot a bystander during the chaos. she is expected to recover. >> the nor'easter leaving flooding behind. >> leaving a lot behind, it's still affecting the northeast here. this is flooding from massachusetts there, an endless suppl
