West africa countries, we want to ask you this morning about your opinion of the level of confidence that you have in the federal government to handle ebolaouts breaks in the u. S. If youre confident of the government ability to do so. Somewhat confidence, and not too confident if you want to put on our social media pages, a poll on our facebook page, you can email us too at journal at cspan. Org. Polling put out a poll asking a question similar to this one and using the same categories about peoples confidence in the ability of the federal government to handle ebola outbreaks in the United States. When those polls were taken, they found that 26 said they were very confident. 35 somewhat, not too confidence, about 20 of those responding and not confident at all, 17 was participants. Again, if we want to get your opinion on the same categories this are morning about your confidence in the government to do so and the numbers will be on your screen. Divided it into confidence, somewhat confident and not confident at all. Pick the line that best represents you and call and tell us why. The five airport thats you probably heard about as far as new inspection sites for those coming in from west africa countries and inspections for ebola, will take place about 5 cross the United States newark, washington dull less, hart field jackson in atlanta. John f. Kennedy and chicago ohare. It says in the paper this is morning that 150 travelers per day hit one of these five airports. Hence the reason why theyre putting those inspections there. Also in u. S. A. Today, says if a traveler has a fever or a questioner reveals possible exposure, quarantine officer will assess whether the passenger will be allowed to continue or precautionary measuring to be taken. In a travel doesnt have a fever, over will ask the traveler to keep a daily temperature log an provide Contact Information. Travelers may have fevers for other reasons. Malaria is common in west africa but transmit by mosquito rather than than between people. Some patients with fever will cause obvious and understandable concern. Again, your confidence level in the United States government to handle ebola. Lines divided on your screen. Lets start with arty in louisiana, very confident. Tell us why. Caller first of all, i think our federal government and our system of health care is the best in the world. You know, if we allow ourselveses to get trapped into this cycle of psycho analysts of everything done around the world and drop it at the door of the federal government, i think that is a serious mistake. Because we can do better but we have an element in this country that do not believe in government and i dont know why they constantly running for office but i think our government will do quite well in handling this situation but we have to be on the same page. We cant be undermining everything that our government is doing and say we dont want government. I mean, why dont they just pack up and leaf this country . That would help if they just get out of the way and go somewhere where theyll be comfortable. This is bob, florida. Somewhat confident. Good morning. How are you doing there . Thanks for cspan. After september 11 if i recall correctly for a number of hours or days, they shut down the airline. From flying. And you know, if i was a Flight Attendant on any airline that flew into one. These countries where this ebola is present, i think that i would probably send some sort of hired employment attorney and send a letter to my employer that given the risk involved of getting this disease, that i wouldnt fly those routes, and if more Flight Attendants were somehow able to sign on to not wanting to fly into those routes, i think that there should be limited Airline Travel to the countries that are involved and i think that hope someone hears this, i think that our government should get behind some kind of a plan to really either cut down or shut down the routes to those countries and i think the Flight Attendants ought to on some workers comp or some kind of a risk level back out of their employment. Host that is bob from florida. If you go do our facebook page, we have put up a poll you can participate in. Same categories were asking this morning. 52 people responding saying they dont express any confidents in the government ability at all. 15 saying somewhat. 10 saying very. 5 saying not too confident. Well hear from someone that has no confidence. Janet from salem. Hi. Caller hi. Thank you for taking my call. I really doo believe the previous caller had it right. However, i believe its much, much more serious than our government is telling us. I think this is highl contagious. And if they bring the patients from africa into our country they should be located probably in nebraska and not taken all over different areas of the state. And so, i think this is a pandemic. Host why nebraska . Caller i believe nebraska has the best isolation areas and so, thats why i say nebraska. Host that is janet from illinois, the centers for Disease Control held a press conference taking a look at this issue h the cdc director updated reporters on the second person with possible symptoms at texas hospital. Heres what he had to say. My understanding and this is kind of a recently information but we will get definitive information in the next few hours, is that there is someone that does not have either definite contact with ebola or definite symptoms of ebola, who is being assessed and you know what we expect is that as people are more concerned, as theres a higher index of suspicion, people will be assessed. There will be rumors and concerns. As it should be. We should just keep it in perspective. Right now, only one patient diagnosed with ebola in the u. S. And that individual tragically died today. We are tracing the other the 48 people, 10 with definite and 38 with possible contact. None of them as of today has had fever or symptoms suggestive of ebola. But we recognize were not out of that 21 day waiting period and were actually at the peak incident period of 810 days. Certainly a time when year anxious and carefully assessing. The man who died yesterday, thomas eric duncan, featured on the front page. Washington post and others, his death was yesterday. That was the cdc director talking about a possible other case theyre looking at. New inspections at airports this morning and we want to get your thoughts on the level of confidence that you have in the governments ability to take care of outbreaks of ebola in the u. S. If youre very confident, somewhat confident, not too confident and not confident at all. Lets hear from marlin. This is toria. What is your level of conversations . Negative in the government in general. I donees understand why they cant just separate or make these areas nofly zones. To insure it does not get into this country. Maybe come up with detectors at the airports. To detect it . Or you know, something. Because this shouldnt get out of hand like this and the government i dont trust it will handle the situation correctly. Well hear next from alex in raleigh, North Carolina, also who says that there is no level of confidence. Good morning. Caller im between the last two. Seems to me way back when, my grandparents came over and went through ellis island and if you had tuberculosis, this would quarantine you or send you back. Why arent they doing the same thing here . Seems to me anybody coming over could be quarantined for 21 days, period. Seems like the government is trying to not interfere with the business of the airplane companies or the airlines and they want to quarantine americans if you get an outbreak here like in dallas. Theyve got people that are keeping an eye on Police Escorts and quarantining them. It will become a police state rather than cutting the danger off where it is. Thats my thought. Host from new york, this is charlie. Good morning, charlie. Caller yes. Good morning. Last night i was watching hawaii 50 and there was tisment for a new web site smash ebola. Com. This is owns america. Deadly third world diseases are now in the United States and yes, obama is the greatest president weve ever had. Host but charlie, before you go, the line you called in saying you didnt register any confidence at all, why is that . Probably gone. So, as far as cases are concerned of ebola, a number of total cases discovered. Over 8,000. With those being confirmed by a lab. 4400 and bringing total death to 3800 cases plus. Again, your level of confidence when it comes to ebola outbreaks here in the United States. Numbers will be on your screen. Divided the lines differently depending on your level of confidence. Please pick the one that applies to you. Wall street journal takes a look at government estimates of how this should be handled when it comes to the west african countries saying the governmentes mace as many as 10,000 Health Care Workers needed in liberia alone and shortage. Safety Training Courses to help them month protect themselves. Government workers and volunteers currently undergoing. Says the cdc court instructing medical staff and plans to train 35 to 40 a week. Weekly Training CourseDoctors Without Borders reg. Ly full and the World Health Organization and others such as International Medical core setting up Training Centers in west africa as well. Program sierra leone has only four people to conduct training. Getting requested all the time says technical officer with the u. N. Health agency and hospital. Meanwhile training own staff to handle any patients they may receive. And course based on one run by Doctors Without Borders. Again, that is in the wall street journal this morning. Your level of confidence in the government ability to handle outbreaks. Heres jack from oklahoma. Good morning. Good morning, sir. I have zero confidence. It is reason i have zeroed of confidence is because the cdc attitude toward this is cavalier. While Doctors Without Borders has been very up front in saying that the way were handling this is horrible and am curish. Who accused of being amateur by msf as well. Recommendations on personal protective equipment is absurd. Ive spend more than a decade in Emergency Medical Services and i can assure you the way this is being handled is amateur and childish. When you say cavalier, how do you mean by that . Caller the air travel issue for one. Well, its paradox i call. A new word. Just a new downistic buzzword. Par i docks call if we dont allow air travel. That is the most absurd and stupid thing i ever heard. If theyre worried about getting personnel to and from west africa to help, then lease private aircraft or use military aircraft but having commercial flights coming to and from is that is suicide. Host chris in texas, hello. Caller good morning. Thanks very much for cspan. Enjoy thoroughly every morning. Now, i made a check and the total number of people that are in the affect the region is something approaching 200 million. Youre on. Go ahead. Caller 200 million and thus far, i think we have had infections of just about 8,000 people. Now, according to the World Health Organization the major reason the infection rate has been this high noting that it is just, because of a lack of poor conditions. Now, the u. S. Health care system continues to be noted as being world leading and im surprised that people continue to say that they are not satisfied with the response of the government where theyre continuing to give so much information and they are not confident. Theres no way that one can possibly go back to policies that were used 100 years ago. And you know, its remarkable that in this day and age, that people are saying that they are smart. They are you know, it is mind boggling and it goes do a bigger issue. There has been a systemic process of undermining confidence in government in the past 15 to 20 years that will be totally destructive to the s. Heres russell from new jersey. Somewhat confident. Hello. Yes, good morning. Ive been watching a lot of this on tv and it seems what were counting on the government to do, this all started in texas. I mean, here we got governor rick perry running around wants to be president of the United States. He cant even take care of his own state. I mean, if they had taken care of this right in the beginning, put the person in the hospital immediately and mr. Perry got his ass off the couch and we want in there and handled it, things would be better. The same thing with arizona. Mr. Mccain running around wants to be president of the United States. He kean take care of his own state with the viewpoints appears. You express that you had a somewhat level of confidence. What is that . What do you put your confidence in . Hoping to get their act together and have the cdc go into texas and take over. Let the cdc go into texas. Take it out of the hands of the local government and let them take charge because texas is not doing anything about this. It was the cdc yesterday that held the press conference talking to reporters. One of the participants was the Homeland Security deputy secretary who spoke to members of the cdc and reporters by phone. He talked about briefing on ebola and advance screenings going to take place at airports. Hes what he had to say on phone. We are announcing we have announced today enhanced measures. Specifically the enhanced screening will consist of targeted questions temperature checks and collection of Contact Information of travelers from the three affected countries entering the United States at five airports. J. F. K. Newark. Dull less, chicago ohare and atlanta. Customs and Border Protection officers, by way of background. The officers observe all passengers for overt signs of illnesses. Through visual observation and questioning as appropriate. For those entering the university at all ports of entry. In addition, mooching forward, all travelers arriving to the five airports i identified in the United States from liberia, sierra leone and guinea will undergo the enhanced scening measures. They will answer targeted questions about whether they have had contact with ebola patients. We will collect additional u. S. Based Contact Information should cdc need to contact them. And finally, we will take their temperature with a noncontact thermometer which can be a key indicator of potential infections. Host again, for the remainder of our time for the first segment, your level of confidence in the government ability to handle ebolaout bra break. Again, very, somewhat, not too confident those are the numbers on the screen. Also a line for those that are not confident at all. On to other news. Raleigh news and observer out of north coast talking about sex change when it comes to election law because of a decision by the supreme court. U. S. Supreme court ruling blocks same day registration. Reporting that the court issued a ruling wednesday meaning voters in north coast will not be able to vote out of precincts on november 4 nor register to vote andcast ballots on the same day. Blocking Circuit Court of appeals diss that reinstated same day Voter Registration and out of precinct voting. Justices offered no insight into ruling to uphold District Court ruling to let november election proceed under the rite of the laws. Ruth Bader Ginsburg and sotomayor dissented. Washington, d. C. Is next t gloria. What is your level of confidence . Caller not very confident at all. Host why is that . Caller i can they should shut the borders down and start taking care of the United States for a change and if they handle it like they handling the immigration, then we in trouble. I think they should do you know, look out for us sometimes. They never look out for the people in the United States at all. Host joe from maryland. Somewhat confidence. Tell us why. Caller hi is it me . Joe . Host yes. Youre on. Caller somewhat confident but i think the problem here is incentives f youre in western africa and you have ebola, i think there is a strong incentive for you to fly to america to get the best care in the world and im not sure how you fix that problem. Im not sure how you prevent somebody from coming here. I can tell you if i had ebola and i was in west africa, thats the first thing i would do, i would gather any resources and fly to america to get the best medical service. I guess why im maybe a little less confident is im not sure if we understand that is a strong incentive for people. All were going to do is ask questions and rely on that . I dont think the medical training is going to be Strong Enough in these countries and i dont know how we fix that. I understand the effects of commerce and Common People but trying to get around it. Host you mean the screenings at the airports that we were talking about, these five airports across it is United States . Caller i mean once they get here, sure the screening been better and ing been better and that would be helpful but again, theyre here already. They may have infected other people on the plane and i understand how it is spread, by pretty close bodily contact but with commission this deadly, you know, you want to take as little risk as possible and i feel bad. I want to do as much for the Global Community as we can. H lou, you are up next. Tell us what you think. Caller im very upset about this situation. First of all, ebola was discovered almost 40 years ago. Where have the
