Optimistic about his prognosis. All the latest developments with the ebola crisis, beginning with chief medical correspondent, dr. Sanjay gupta. Quite a series of developments overnight, sanjay. No question, the cameraman working for nbc, his name is ashoka mukpo, 33 years old, working on projects in liberia for the last three years, this past tuesday he started working for nbc. The next day he started having some, started feeling not well, some aches, he got his temperature taken and it was a little bit elevated. That prompted this whole testing, testing came back and now theyre en route back to the United States. Mukbo and the entire nbc team. The rest of the team appears healthy and theyll be checked out when they get here as well. As for mr. Duncan, hes where he needs to be, in the hospital, still in serious but stable condition. And members of his family and friends are in quarantine, also where they need to be. But i will tell you, none of this came too easily. Health officials now looking at 100 people in the dallas area who may have had contact with thomas eric duncan. There could be additional cases who are already exposed if that occurs, systems are in place so that they will not further spread ebola. As officials work to contain the spread of the virus, many are questioning how did it get here. In liberia, duncan came into contact with an infected woman on september 15th. Four days later, the 42yearold was screened three times and showed no symptoms. And was therefore permitted to board an airplane. But liberian authorities now say duncan lied about his ebola exposure on a health questionnaire, he was asked if he cared for or came into contact with an ebola patient and he answered no. He flew from monrovia to brussels and boarded United Airlines flight 591 en route to washington, connecting to flight 822 to dallas. While the cdc maintains he was not contagious during his journey, United Airlines now voluntarily contacting passengers who flew on those flights. In dallas, duncan stayed in this apartment complex for days before feeling sick and seeking medical care only to be sent home from the hospital with antibiotics, even after telling them he had just travelled from africa. The hospital now admits they missed his travel history, due to a workflow breakdown. Duncan was with his girlfriend, louise, her child and her two nephews. Louise, speaking exclusively to cnns Anderson Cooper, recalls her fear, when the family needed to be quarantined. They were going to be monitoring all of us, my son should stay home, my enough few, everyone should stay home for 21 days. We should not come outside. If we step outside, then theyre going to take us to court. They will commit a crime. Health Officials Say the family hasnt shown any symptoms of the disease. Late thursday, a special team was deployed to clean the apartment and remove items duncan used. But they were turned away because they lacked the proper permit to transport hazardous waste. Did the cdc recommend that you clean your apartment . I told them i just mattresses on my bed and clorox and dirty clothes in the plastic bag, all sealed up and thats it. How are you coping with this . Im just hanging in there, depending on god to save our lives. Ill tell you, some of the details are just remarkable. And i imagine many of the people taking care of mr. Duncan and his friends and family wish they could get some of these as a doover. But nevertheless, the good news is it sounds like mr. Duncan is stable and his family, still, michaela, has not shown any symptoms. Theyll continue to be monitored for a total of 21 days. The hope is they wont and theyll get the resources and support and advocacy they need, sang jai, well talk about that throughout the hours. We know that the Ebola Outbreak in africa, the hot zone is spreading so quickly, the Defense Department is increasing the number of troops sending to west africa to help aid in the fight against this deadly virus. Pentagon correspondent Barbara Starr joins us with details. Here at new day we have exclusive details on how the pentagon plans to keep those troops safe. With 3,000 troops already tapped to head to ebolaravaged west africa, cnn has learned the u. S. Military is increasing its fight against the deadly disease. Hundreds more troops are being added to plans to help the infected countries contain and control ebola. Its america our doctors, our scientists, our knowhow, that leads the fight to contain and combat the ebola epidemic in west africa. Approximately 200 u. S. Troops are already in liberia. Secretary of defense, chuck haggle has signed orders for another 700 to head to africa in coming days, to staff a command headquarters. 700 more Army Engineers will be going to help build and advise on mobile hospitals. Were standing up a Field Hospital and treatment units. Well be training thousands of health workers. Even before most have left the u. S. , military officials tell cnn the pentagon is considering drastic measures to insure they dont come back to u. S. Shores with the disease. We are working with experts right now, on this. That could include enforced isolation for 21 days, the ebola incubation period, for highrisk troops who may have come in contact with the disease. All troops deployed will be monitored daily for symptoms. And all Service Members will face increased monitoring for those 21 days, before they are allowed to return to the u. S. This is a complex emergency, beyond a Public Health crisis. That has significant humanitarian, economic, political and security dimensions. And so, how worried is the pentagon . Well those troops are going to take their own food, water, fuel, all of their own supplies for that sixmonth deployment. They dont want to have to use anything from the local region. Think of it this way, 3,000 troops coming back. They could have been in contact with tens of thousands of americans when they return. So they want to make sure before they come home, they are 100 healthy. Chris . Well barbara, theres 100 chance that theres going to be exposure, that these men and women are going to be in harms way. Everybody should know that when theyre sending them in. There should be no surprise, if anybody gets it and theyll just have to do what they can to contain it. Hopefully part of it has to do with the speeding up of getting vaccines for these people. Our thanks to Barbara Starr. Lets get perspective, the latest with dr. Irwin redliner, the director for the National Center for Disaster Preparedness at columbia university. We do not want to spread false panic. We understand and we believe that ebola is not easy to catch and it can be treated much better here in the u. S. Than it can be abroad. And yet you started out saying not you, but those in control, those people are fine, five, six people, 20 people, 80 people, now its 100 people, theyre looking for people on the plane. Whats going on . A couple of things happening simultaneously. The actual science, the evidence, that says we have a limited amount of real possibility of people getting sick from contact with this individual. And then we have the public pressure and the anxiety thats been created by the understanding that we now have ebola in the United States of america. So Public Officials are trying to walk a very fine line here between assuaging the public anxiety about the disease, versus what we know about the science of the disease. And thats where we end up with this kind of confusion about how many people are we tracking . Why are we tracking so many people . Are these people that theyre tracking actually in danger of getting sick . And actually for the vast majority of them, theyre not in real danger. Theyre in some anxiety state as far as the public is concerned. But theyre not in real danger. All right. Well thats a little comforting, at least its about public policy, instead of the ignorance about the actual disease. But then the virus, one headscratcher. The first couple of doctors who came back, thank god theyre okay now, theyre in bubble suits, now you have people locked in an apartment complex. In texas. I mean whats going on . Wheres the urgency . Well we need a lot more information, this is one of the things im very concerned about. Was, which is the Public Health reaction to this particular identified case, this mr. Duncan. And people are under armed guard, they cant leave the apartment. The Public Officials are coming by theoretically and taking their temperature a couple of times a day but theyre not taking care of their food needs. The bedsheets that this guy are sleeping on are still on the bed. Why havent they been moved into a facility where they can be properly treated . When the dust settles on this acute challenge right now, we really have to dig into how the Public Health officials reacted and responded to this particular case. And its not just this guy. Its the entire family. That feels like theyve been abandoned. Trapped in an apartment with fouled sheets from when the guy was sick, will was a power outage there from bad weather. The doors were kept open of all their neighbors. Right. It does not seem like good preparedness, objectively. And then you get to the hospital, do you have any belief that this is about bad software. A software problem, thats why they avoided common sense when dealing with this first patient. Were just in the throes of installing Electronic Medical records in hospitals and Health Departments in the country. In this particular situation, youre the triage nurse, youre screening people. The guy says ive just come from liberia. Conversation is over, im going to test you. Its not you then go, verbally and you get the chief of the e. R. And you say i got a guy from west africa with a fever, hes got to be tested. Even if he doesnt have a fever. If he says i was in liberia, why not test . Were on the road to a blood test right at that very moment. I think theres probably, there are problems with organizing the Electronic Health record information that will be fixed. That is a glitch. But that doesnt excuse the absence of whoever triaged the guy from getting up, getting the doctor and saying we got a problem right here. Most alarming to me, the important point to end on here. Youre not surprised that were seeing problems with preparedness and response. Youre saying, this was inevitable. Because . Its inevitable because weve had literally a decade of disastrous cutbacks in funds for hospital preparedness and for Public Health preparedness. Were now paying a small price for that what i worry about is what this this was bird flu, something very contagious and very lethal . Wed be in a boatload of trouble right now. And we have to get this adjusted. I know theres a coordination issue, also, because in texas youre dealing with the local Health Officials, theyre the ones in control, not the cdc. You have to figure this stuff out. Because if the best can you do is lock people in an apartment complex . Along with the fouled sheets and not giving them food . We have to be able to do better than that. We should be and i think eventually we will be. The question is will this be a wakeup call or a snooze alarm. We hit the Snooze Button and were back into complacency. Will there be action following this . I think we can agree, its not about spreading false panic, its about forcing accountability to get this right. Because a as youre saying, this could be much worse. Thank you very much. We know you have a lot of questions and theyre growing, in the next hour the latest from you, and the 8 00 hour, well get your questions and then were going to talk to this man before that, dr. Thomas friedan. He is the man in control at the centers for Disease Control and prevention, were going to get there and get your questions and talk to him. And where do you get them to us . On twitter, use the eeblaqanda. Breaking overnight, another massive cybersecurity breach, this one affecting tens of millions of customers, at banking giant Jp Morgan Chase. Hackers may have compromised the accounts of 76 million personal customers and seven million Small Businesses. How successful were they . How concerned should you be . Chief Business CorrespondentChristine Romans is here with more. Ever arey day youve got hac trying to get into the vaults of banks to get your information. 76 million jp morganchase accounts and seven million Small Business accounts, thats half the households in america. Their information gotten by hackers. What did they get . They got names, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses and internal Jp Morgan Chase information relating to such users, they didnt get your credit card number or password or Social Security number. What could happen here . This is the kind of information that is just a goldmine for people trying to recreate your identity. Or trying to do phishing expeditions, to call you up on the phone and say, hi, im calling from chase, give me your Social Security number and your address, i want to verify some information. Do not do that. Chase says, they have not seen this point. Theyre very closely watching it. Its more likely someone is going to try to phish around, call you up, send you an email to try to trick you into them getting more information. So just be careful about that. Heads up, everybody, well be covering this more throughout the day. Thanks so much, christine, for that alert. Lets turn it over to john. Breaking this morning, isis , on the border between city of syria and turkey. They now control the Southwest Corner of that city and kurdish fighters are trying to push them back. This comes after turkey voted to authorize military action against the terror group in both iraq and syria. Australia is also announcing it will launch strikes against isis, but only in iraq. Our phil black is in the turkey border with the latest. Good morning, phil. What weve been seeing here in the east of kobani is a lot of shells falling over the city. Particularly this eastern and southeastern site. And then as you mentioned a short time ago, this news from kurdish fighters still in the city, that isis has advanced into the southwestern corner and now control that part of the city. They, those kurdish fighters say they are responding to that. Trying to put fighters into position. Theyve been predicting this for the last 24 hours, that isis would reach the city and enter it. The kurdish fighters say theyve been placing fighters in sniper positions to try and resist that entrance into the city. What weve seen up until now has been isis trying to deal with those snipers and those sniper positions through artillery, through shelling. Now it appears theyre advancing on foot. Weve started to hear small arms fire in the distance as well. Which suggests this closequarter fighting has already begun. Now the kurdish fighters believe that this closequarter fighting in the city street to street, house to house, that suits them. That is to their advantage, because they know the territory. But theyre now beginning to fall back really to their very last point of resistance. John . Quite a struggle. It will be interesting to see how turkey spontsds to this. They say they will be involved in the crisis. Our phil black right on the border, thanks very much. All right now first, it was four. Now Health Officials in texas are tracking 100 people.
