tom friedman, director of the disease control and prevention drove that message home. >> we have to work now. >> reporter: today, the head of the homeland security homes a hearing in dallas to review international, federal and local responses to the ebola crisis. officials are expected to examine flaws in the health care system following the death of thomas eric duncan, the first person to die of ebola in the u.s. he was initially released from the hospital. doctors say duncan was given the best treatment possible, including an experimental drug. the u.s. remains focused on keeping ebola out of this country. tomorrow, officials will begin tougher screening for passengers arriving at jfk airport from west africa. screenings begin at newark in new jersey. governor christie says they are not yet ready for the crisis, but will be. the sheriff's deputy in the apartment where thomas duncan stayed before he died tested negative. he does not have ebola. the spanish nursing assistant in madrid has a condition that worsened on thursday. >> thank you very much. susan mcginnis in washington. tension

here is director tom friedman urging swift action -- cdc director tom frieden urging swift action. >>t is going to be a long fight. i will say that in the 30 years i've been working in public health, the living like this has been aids. we have to work now so that this is not the world next aids. -- the world's next aids. >> a 4000 strong mission is in monrovia to fight evil in the region. an estimated nearly 4000 people have died, and half of those are in liberia. imf chief christine lagarde today signaled it was ok for the three west african countries fighting ebola to increase spending to stop the epidemic. >> for once, just for once, it's absolutely fine if those countries increased their fiscal deficit. we are capable of mobilizing resources. they are not grand unfortunately. and others will have to put grants on the table and significant name -- numbers. but there are circumstances in which we are capable of revisiting traditional standards. >> in other news, the 2014 nobel prize season wrapped up this friday with the peace prize being awarded to two laureates. pakistan's malala

why do you think tom friedman deserves more criticism?ase there has been a complete failure to communicate the truth, the half truths and explaining to the public as he should be able to do as director of the cdc's the truth about ebola. i talked to a toxicologist, doctors, the science is all over the place in terms of how it is spread or not read and everything else. the doctor needs to be very forthcoming about that. only get it from a patient who has ebola symptoms and you have got to have bodily fluid get into you. he was emphatic about it. >> we are getting two conflicting directions about the information. you can't get it on a bus. don't get on a bus. we are told for example -- thing in these terms. but for one individual, mr. duncan who is now deceased, for one individual who live on of these applications came to this country with the approval of the state department. we spent half a million dollars treating this man before he died. now we have 76 other people exposed. as the doctor says earlier in epidemic starts with just one ind

i only came to understand and by listening to tom friedman explained it over and over. spreads theke it easiest when the person is quite ill and having vomiting and other problems that spreads the disease more easily. if you are just sitting there with a fever, you are not bleeding or throwing up, spreading it is not necessarily going to happen. these nurses caught the disease from handling the viral matter that the -- duncan was producing when he was very sick. i think that is how you are looking at the transmission at this point. someone with a fever who is not sneezing, coughing -- even sneezing which they say will not necessarily spread it. i think that is why his family did not catch it but the health care workers did. james, oxon hill, maryland. democrats line. guest: thank you for taking my call --caller: thank you for taking my call. ago when the africa health care workers contracted this, i called in to c-span for the first time and understood my opposition to that and said why would they bring these people to this country and exposed 300 million human beings t

tom friedman. dr. friedman. >> hello, everyone. it is exactly one week since the first patient with ebola in this country was diagnosed in dallas, texas. it is a good time to look back on what has happened in that week. diagnosed onwas tuesday. within about two hours, we announced that. we had to staff on the ground helping the terrific staff in dallas to respond to this case. we have no doubt we will stop it in its tracks in texas. it's worth stepping back and seeing how ebola spreads. it only spreads by direct contact with someone who is sick or with their body fluids. the core of control is identifying everyone who may have had contact with them and making sure they are monitored 21 days and immediately isolating them to break the chain of transmission. there is no doubt we can stop ebola. i want to talk about what has happened in dallas and turn to my colleagues. then about what is happening in the u.s. more broadly and finally where we are in the epidemic in west africa. in terms of dallas, the work there by the staff of local

cdc director the tom friedman is rejecting calls from some members of congress to ban travelers fromeria, and sierra leone from entering the united states. what right does a united citizen have -- united states citizen have to reenter the country even if they have that? >> i think it is a horrible idea to ban travel. i think it would make us much less safe, because ebola would just grow out of control in the region, and that would put us at i think it is a very, very good idea to rejected that plan. >> i agree, actually, myself. i think we cannot wrap this country in saran wrap and expect it not to be exposed, and i think preparation and education is actually the key to stopping the spread. let me let. burger, you have the last word. we have about one minute left. have you been in contact with any nurses or health care professionals who have been on the ground in the affected areas ? >> no, i have not been in contact with them, but we're making sure tomorrow that we have a call in show, where nurses can call in and ask questions and get support, and we will see what happens tomorrow.

tom friedman. >> hello, everyone. exactly one week since the first patient with ebola in this country was diagnosed in dallas texas. it is a good time to look back on what is happening that week and see where we are likely to be going. the patient was diagnosed on tuesday. that evening we had staff on the helping a terrific staff in dallas in texas respond to this case. we have no doubt we will stop it in its tracks in texas. back andh stepping seeing how ebola spreads. it only spreads by direct contact with someone who is sick or with their body for lou -- or with their body fluids. the core of control is identifying everyone who may have had contact with dem and making sure they are monitored and immediately isolating him to break the chain of transmission. there is no doubt we can stop ebola. hasnt to talk about what happened in dallas and turn to my colleagues. inn about what is happening the u.s. more broadly and finally where we are in the epidemic in west africa. dallas, the work there by the staff of local and

tom friedman talked about we will get this under controlment i absolutely think this is right. i think that's where the emphasis will be, letting the lick health department officials, both the cdc doing their work. >> i'm struck by the level. to me, this has been an illustration. for those of us here in the u.s. have been reading about ebola and it just seems awful and it wrenches your heart and it seems disastrous. watching this happen here illustrates how resource intensive proper containment is. i've got to imagine literally millions of dollars are going to be spent on this one case of ebola. do you think that's a fair estimate? >> i think that's a fair estimate. containing epidemics is hard work. we saw this when we were successful in eradicating smallpox. it took a huge, global effort. look at the chaos this one individual has been able to create and the hundreds of people that are involved in quarantine. now, multiply that times six, seven thousand. look at what you're dealing with. this is why it was necessary for president obama to take the important measure of 3,000 u.

tom friedman who is with us tonight by telephone and will frieden. doctor, can you hear us? >> yes, i can. can you hear me? >> yes. >> caller: thank you to the mayor and first and foremost, when it comes to his care, the federal government will continue to give whatever assistance is required to make sure he's treated safely and effectively. i think as has been said, it's very important that people understand how ebola spreads and what the risk is. when someone gets ebola, they become more infectious the sicker they get. so right now, the concern is for the health care workers who are caring for him at bellevue. fortunately bellevue has been preparing for this and drill pg this cdc has been in close communication with hospital authorities. by coincidence because of good preparations, we already had a team on the ground. it's been several days reviewing all of bellevue's preparations even before this patient became ill. they have reviewed the preparations and observed the hospital workings. we are also sending an additional cdc ebola response team, which is in transit now wit

when you see him sitting down with a journalist and enjoying with "60 minutes" or tom friedman, that's enjoys. >> but i actually thought it was a great interview. he didn't hit him over the head or yell or scream at him. but he got information out from him. >> absolutely. i think bill is right that only is trying to go around the press and sometimes the media can be our own worst enemy when we talk about accountability for this administration. if you look at the edward snowden leaks and u.s. foreign heads of state, all of the attention has been on whether edward snowden is a traitor and less attention on what the government is doing. >> he seemed to engage the press. as much as the press -- >> president only -- but president only seems like sometimes he has thin skin and for fox news as a great fund-raiser. >> it is a great fund-raiser. he's not a warm person. >> i don't know about that. >> that's true. if you look at the accounts of the journalists on the campaign trail with him -- >> well, look, they are not -- this is not a guy that enjoys the back and forth of politics and, frankly

tom friedman held a lengthy president conference just a while ago at the centers for disease control during which he said because of america's strict protocols for disease containment, infection control and treatment, it's highly unlikely that there will be any kind of an outbreak as a result of this. at least not a widespread one. but he also said it is highly likely that one, maybe more of the people that this person came in contact with will fall ill with the disease. how bad could it get? well, in nigeria, one man managed to infect 19 other people before they got it under control. nigeria has strict infection protocols but not as high as we have here in the united states, greta. >> all right, john, so the window is 24 to 28 days, that's what they are saying the window. who knows if he didn't develop the symptoms a little bit earlier. no one wants to create panic, but what ability to the airports have to determine whether or not someone has ebola? >> all they do is look for people showing outward signs of it. there are temperature sensors at the departing airports in west africa.

>> we have to rethink the way we -- >> a signal from tom friedman after nurse nina pham contracted the deadly ebola virus while caring for thomas eric duncan. >> there was a breach in protocol. that breach in protocol resulted in this infection. >> that was frieden on sunday. monday he seemingly walk that back will. >> some interpreted that as finding fault with the hospital or the health care worker. and i'm sorry if that was the impression given. that was certainly not my intention. >> texas health presbyterian said the 26-year-old nurse was wearing full protective gear. while frieden publicly back tracked on his explanation, privately an official with direct knowledge. vegts tell cnn that cdc detectives believe there are inconsistencies in the type of gear the nurse used and how she put on it and took it off. >> i think contaminated, there is the possibility that the worker will contaminate themselves and become infected in that process. >> transmission of the deadly virus is a contribution to assuredness by doctors shortly after duncan was admitted to the hospital. ? our staff was

tom friedman from the centers for disease control. cdc, the virus is spread through bodily fluid and not simply by food, air or water. once someone is cured of ebola, they can't infect anyone else. that person who contracted the virus outside of west africa, that's a spanish nurse who treated a patient who passed from the virus. back to you in the studio. >> a spanish priest who was there at the missionary. thank you, delia. >>> two local patients who showed signs match be the criteria for the ebola virus have tested negative for the disease. one patient was being treated at shady grove hospital. that patient has tested negative but did test positive for malaria. >> a scary situation in both cases. the second patient who recently traveled to nigeria was being treated at university hospital with signs of ebola but the cdc says that person tested negative of the disease. >>> maryland's two major gubernatorial candidates, democrat anthony brown and republican larry hogan will face each other in baltimore. "the baltimore sun" and wjz are

and tom friedman spoke yesterday about what they are doing to better prepare hospitals. here is what he had to say. >> one thing we want to make sure is whatever is done with where care is provided every hospital in the country needs to be ready to diagnose ebola. that means that every doctor every nurse, every staff person in the emergency department who cares for someone with either or other signs of infection needs to ask, where have you been in the past month? where have you been in the past 21 days? have you been to liberia, sierra leone, or ginny? -- guinea. that is important. the fact is that usually infections in health care settings spread from someone who is not yet diagnosed. we have to assure those that have symptoms. >> thank you for joining us today. the president, as you know, is convening a meeting in the cabinet room with members of his team who are responsible for responding to this ebola diagnosis in texas so i have to leave here at about 3:25. it would be embarrassing to walk in late. and, so, i do not want to be late so we can get started. >> any det

i think it is time for tom friedman to step down. he no longer has the credibility. we need to chase down each thread of ebola so we can stop the disease in this country. it is not a matter of spending money or the cdc as much as it is containment. was fearheard there mongering. our medical experts, have toldtion experts us the best approach. we need to react call me, deliberately, and need to invest in our cdc and nih. while congressman king has been in congress, funding has dropped significantly. >> let me interrupt. are you saying that as more cases are reported, we are doing just fine with the system we have and it will contain it? >> no, we need to invest in it. we would be in a much better position of funding had not been cut. that the strut down the ,ongressman king led scientist were sent home, experiments lost, and funding cut. that is why we need to invest in those areas. >> i voted twice to keep the government open, september 20 and 20 a. i said i will not fund obamacare. we funded everything except obamacare. i wanted to open the government. to where the

right now i want to take you straight to a telepress conference involving the cdc's director, tom friedmant's listen in. >> as of yesterday, i'll say, because today happens hour by hour and minute by minute, so we'll give you the information as of the end of the day yesterday, we had assessed 114 people who may or may not have had exposure to the patient. we've done the assessments in all 114, but there are still a couple where we're sorting out whether or not they are actual contacts. at this point, we have identified in conjunction with the folks on the ground in texas, nine individuals who we're pretty sure are definite contacts with the source patient, with the index case, as we refer to him. that includes family members, as well as some people in the health care profession. in addition, there are about 40 other people, and the numbers may change by one or two per day, that we can't rule out had contact. we don't know that they had contact, but because we're not certain that they did not have contact, we will be monitoring them as well. as of yesterday, that number total was 46 and we

tom friedman, the director of the cdc, stepped back from the statement earlier this woman contracting the ebola virus was the result of a breach of protocol. he said in no way was he trying to blame her but as he warned, there are realities to the situation. >> if this one individual was infected and we don't know how within the isolation unit, then it is possible that other individuals could have been infected as well. >> reporter: dr. freiden said they have to start to rethink the way they address ebola infection control. >> how are they addressing it? >> reporter: from the perspective here in dallas, they have infectious disease investigators on the ground and what they are doing is interviewing anyone who came into contact with these two patients. then from there, they are going to broaden out and they are creating what they are calling a map of potential exposures. that is not to say that they think there is a large number of health care workers or people in general who have been exposed. as dr. freiden explains, they are casting a wide net, then will narrow from there additional

in washington, cdc director tom friedman will brief president obama this afternoon. this morning on "today" he talked about the less sons they've learned so far. >> we have learned how very important fluid and electrolyte management is. rehydration of patients is can be life saving. we're taking that back to africa to try to improve the care there. to improve the rehydration of patients. that will make a difference. >> right now several cities across the u.s. are being affected by the ebola crisis. in dallas thomas duncan, the first person to be diagnosed in the u.s. is in critical condition. dr. rick sacra tested negative for the ebola virus. he was treated for ebola last month at the nebraska medical center. that's where today's patient is being treated. let's get to nbc john yang live in omaha with the latest. good morning, john. >> good morning, jose. as you say, he arrived here at the nebraska medical center about an hour ago by ambulance after that long flight from niger nigeria. -- rather from liberia. he was able to walk off the plane when he landed after tha

cdc we heard from the director tom friedman yesterday is that there is no need to disclose that informationo unduly make people never sit out a, because he did not display any symptoms during the course of his trip. if you don't display the symptoms, you are not at risk of exposing others to the ebola virus. symptomst display until some four days after he landed in dallas. that was on september 20. that was when he first started to show some symptoms. that is why we don't know the carrier or the route he took. but you can be sure people are asking questions about it, and certainly a lot of folks on the plane would like to know whether or not they have been exposed. at this point, the cdc has decided not to release that information. >> peter cook, thank you. --we enter the first quarter the fourth quarter. it has been at tumultuous 2014. place for growth is china, according to our guest. he is long and big on alibaba. they've never done a high-tech ipo for years. the transnationals and go abroad and all of that. >> and ready visible financials, a pretty visible growth path. and alibaba, i th
