Massive air bag recall. Now german car maker audi getting hit. Were tracking that for you. How vulnerable is the United States to an ottawastyle terror attack . Lets talk live in the cnn newsroom. Good morning, im carol costello. Thank you so much for joining me. We begin with breaking news and rattled nerves in new york city. This morning, an american doctor is hospitalized in isolation, battling the first case of ebola to crop up in the nations mostcrowded city. 33yearold Craig Spencer had been treating ebola patients in west africa. He returned to the United States one week ago today. He had cleared enhanced screening for ebola at new york citys jfk airport, thats because his symptoms did not appear until six days later, just yesterday. His fever spiked, he was rushed to Bellevue Hospital, one of the medical facilities designated to handle the cases. Today three people who came in contact with spencer are in quarantine because they dealt with him when he was sick and doctors say spencer posed no threat when he visited a Bowling Alley or road the subway. Researchers may be getting closer to a vaccine against ebola. Clinical trials will begin for five experimental vaccines and its possible a mass Inoculation Program could be launched by the middle of next year. I dont know exactly how much vaccine will be available in 2015, but it will be in 2015, thats absolutely for sure. Covering all angles, cnns Elizabeth Cohen is outside Bellevue Hospital where dr. Spencer is undergoing treatment and here with me is dr. Devi, an assistant professor of anesthesiology and rehabilitation at the nyu school of medicine. Welcome to both of you. Thanks for being here. Elizabeth, somehow dr. Spencer doing . We were told last night by mayor de blasio he is in good shape. He didnt give more details than that. Were expecting a press conference an hour from now where hopefully theyll give us more details. Two of the Big Questions are is dr. Spencer getting a blood transfusion from an ebola survivor . Many experts think that could be very, very helpful. Also, is he getting any experimental drugs . We know the drug zmapp is not available, hough there were other drugs that ebola patients have been getting and theres hope that might work. Carol . Elizabeth, a cdc team is already on site. What are they doing . They sort of have a dual role here. The first part is in the community. They want to make sure that all the Contact Tracing has been done right and that they have caught everyone who might vld contact with dr. Spencer. Theyre also going to be going inside the hospital right here and trying to see making sure that theyre observing good Infection Control practices, wearing the right protective gear. This was obviously a big issue in dallas. Its not expected to be a big issue here, this is a hospital that has trained for this, it is designated to treat ebola patients. The cdc folks are here, but i will say, new york city has an incredible Public Health team. This is a different situation than in dallas. The cdc is here to support the new york team already here. Dr. Devi, i want to calm some fear because there is a lot of consternation here in new york city this morning, right . I guess my first question and ill ask you this because a congressman brought it up he said this doctor should have been in quarantine for 21 days since he came back from west africa. Instead, the doctor passed through the airport after being checked, right . And he went home and when he showed signs of a fever he called an ambulance and then was take on the Bellevue Hospital. Should he have been in quarantine for 21 days . I think he should but there should have been more clear guidelines from anybody coming from west africa about the quarantine period. So, for example, here, he was checking his temperature twice a day so he was trying to be vigilant and he didnt go directly to the e. R. On his own, he alerted people, the First Responders that he was at risk for ebola so at least he took some precautions. But in terms of going out to the Bowling Alley and other things, using the subway, that is a concern. So we need to be consistent in our approach. We need to tell people what to do. To make it clear, the doctor in your mind should have stayed at home for 21 days . Its a judgment call. He wasnt told to do that. He wasnt told he was in quarantine so i think we have to be more clear. The cdc or travel officials, about what people need to do coming back from west africa. On the other hand, we flare doctors its not an air born disease and because he road the subway and went bowling doesnt mean anyone is at risk of catching ebola, so you see the confusing message there. Theyre not at risk in the sense he didnt have symptoms and youre not contagious if you dont have symptoms but in terms of creating panic or making people alarmed, why go through that . They may not be at risk for ebola but they feel concerns but it raises the questions what if someone was using the subway . What would we do in that case . I think we should have a strike team for the people in quarantine. Why do people leave quarantine . They cant get food, they need to do things, they ear alone, maybe they have trouble to at work to explain why they cant come out of their apartment. I think there are things we could do better. Elizabeth, three people came into close contact with dr. Spencer. Where are they this morning . E understand they are being quarantined. We havent been told an exact location yet exactly where they are. It may be in their own residences. I want to ask add something to what the doctor just said. There is i think were thinking of this as black and white a little bit, should they be allowed out or should they be in warn mean . Is there a middle ground. I was speaking with an expert who says maybe we should let them take the three mile jog because you wont come into contact with someone on a threemile jog but maybe they shouldnt get on the subway because its hard to avoid touching someone on a subway. I think there are steps to this that have not been thought through, that the cdc is just now thinking through. All right. So Elizabeth Cohen, dr. Devi, stand by, i want to bring our viewers back to capitol hill where theres a House OversightCommittee Hearing on ebola and how it affects Health Care Workers, specifically nurses. I was expecting this is the copresident of the National Nurses union so this is ms. Debra burger. Lets listen. The ebola pandemic and the exposure of Health Care Workers to ebola in texas and the real threat that it could occur elsewhere in the u. S. Represent a clear and present danger to Public Health. Every rn who works in a Health Care Facility could be nina pham or amber vinson, both of whom contracted ebola while treating Thomas Eric Duncan at texas Presbyterian Hospital in dallas. One patient diagnosed and dead in this country, two nurses infected so far. In our survey of over 3,000 worses in every hospital, d. C. And the Virgin Islands reveals 85 of the nurses say they are not adequately trained and the level of preparation for ebola in our facilities is insufficient. 68 arens still say their hospital has not communicated any policy for admission of a potential ebola patient. 84 still say their hospitals have not provided by ebola education with the opportunity to interact and ask questions. 44 say their hospitals lack sufficient supplies of eye protection now. 46 say there are insufficient supplies of fluidresistant impermeable gowns in their hospital. 41 say their hospitals do not have plans to equip isolation rooms. Initially, the nurses who interacted with mr. Duncan wore nonimpermeable gowns, three pairs of gloves with no taping around the wrists, surgical masks with the option of n95s leaving their face and necks exposed. Two of them became infected. This is what happens when guidelines are inefficient and voluntary. The new cdc guideline that protective equipment leave no skin exposed is a direct testament to the courage of dallas whistleblower Brianna Aguiar who spoke with us. We urge congress to adopt uniform national standards. These include full body hazmat suits that meet the standard for blood penetration and testimony astm f1671 standard for viral penetration which leaves no skin exposed or unprotected. Nioshapproved air powered purr phiing respirators with an assigned factor of 50 or higher standard as appropriate. At least two direct care rns for each ebola patient and no additional patient care assignment. Continuous onsite interactive handson teaching with the rns and updates responsive to the changing nature of the disease. The precautionary principal must be utilized. You get the gist of what shes saying. Common sense rules should be put into place and a federal mandate should come from either the legislature or the president so that everybody is on the same page. Dr. Devi, it sounds like such common sense. I agree. Im not sure why we need legislation because you would think hospitals would want to be prepared to treat ebola. Why have a repeat of what happened in texas. Why is it so difficult to come up with one set of guidelines to protect Health Care Workers . Part of the issue that we havent faced this type of crisis before. We havent seen Something Like ebola so people might not have taken it as seriously at first and thought well, we wont see a patient with ebola and then there was a sense of overconfidence where they felt like no matter what well be prepared, its not a big deal. Now weve seen both those approaches wont work so it should be easier to get it done but it may be practical considerations, getting the actual gear or doing the training. But thats not an excuse. Dr. Devi, many thanks to you. In other news this morning, a senior Law Enforcement source telling cnn there is no indication that the man who attacked four new york city officers with a hatchet had any ties to radical Islamist Groups or jihadists. Looked like an ambush, though, thursday in queens as the attacker hid behind a bus shelter almost stalking the officers. Two are hurt, one is in critical condition. Eventually the officers shot and killed the attacker. Now police in new york have been told to watch for random attacks and the president has been briefed on the attack but it follows a series of attacks targeting Law Enforcement and the military but still new york Authorities Say they can find no connection to radical islamism on the streets of new york city. Athena jones joins us from the white house. Good morning. Good morning, carol. The president was briefed on the incident against the new york cops last night. Theres a lot of questions, though, of course, about this attacker. We know from one source he was a muslim convert and on his Facebook Page bearing his name theres a quote from the koran, but as you mentioned, authorities are still looking into the motive behind this attack. Even if it was not linked to radical islam, it has raised concerns about attacks linked to razz cal islam, the socalled lone wolf attackers, people may not have had direct ties to a group like isis or al qaeda but who themselves have been selfradicalized and inspired to carry out an attack on their own. This is something that the Obama Administration has been well aware of for some time putting together a strategy that involves community policing, talking to Muslim Leaders and local communities to guard against anyone being selfradicalized and becoming one of these lone wolf attackers. As of right now, there are still questions remaining about whether this is another example of what we saw earlier this week in canada, in quebec, that radical convert hitting and killing a soldier with his car and, of course, on wednesday the shooting there on Parliament Hill in ottawa. Carol . Athena jones reporting live from white house this morning. New allegations of human rights abuses in ferguson, missouri. You remember the rubberer bullets, tear gas, heavy military equipment using against protesters. A new report says police should be investigated for their use of heavy force. Cnns sara sidner is in ferguson with more on this. Good morning. Reporter carol, this report coming out today. They named several things, they have a list of grievances they say need to be looked at and investigated and then changed. They talk about intimidation of protesters, excessive use of force by police and violations of peoples right to assembly and expression. They detail them in the report, giving examples of when they felt that the police went overboard or violated the rights of protesters and much of what they talked about is what happened early on in august after the shooting and killing of Michael Brown at the hands of white Police Officer darren wilson. They talked through what happened to protesters, they also mentioned, though, that they did realize police had a difficult job to do with such large crowds, that most of them were peaceful the report, but that there were parts of the crowd that were doing things like looting and throwing bottles and rocks at police and understood that police had to deal with that, but that they really went overboard when it came to the peaceful protest. So that is what the report is trying to detail. They are asking for an independent investigation and a deep look at the actual incident that sparked that which is, of course, the killing of Michael Brown. Carol . I have a question along those lines. Attorney general eric holder is coming down hard on the ferguson grand jury and the leaks coming from that grand jury. Are they leaks . I mean, whos putting this information out there . That is the big question. And everyone is denying they have anything to do with the leaks. We heard from Darren Wilsons attorney saying they are not responsible for the leaks. We heard from the st. Louis county prosecuting attorney Bob Mccullough who sent out a statement saying his office was not responsible for the leaks and that it does detrimental things to the investigation and what the grand jury and Justice System is all about. Certainly it is affecting people here. It is affecting the protesters who believe this is all a conspiracy to try and leak out information bit by bit that most of that information has been to help Darren Wilsons case. And so there is a lot of tension here that rises every time Something Else leaks. And everyone is saying that the leaks do affect this grand jury and do affect peoples idea of how the Justice System works and certainly damage the Justice System and how people see things. So it is really starting to make things more aggravated here. Its aggravating people, annoying people and youre certainly seeing that in the streets on a nightly basis, carol.
