Hospitals are prepared to deal with this. We have a fourth line for doctors and nurses. The you feel that the hospital or clinic you work at is able to respond to ebola . Do you enjoy the conversation on a twitter. Lets take a wiki front page of the New York Times. The cdc held a News Conference yesterday. They talked about what happens now. There are four things were doing at this point. First, we want to make sure that we do Everything Possible to care for this individual. Second, assessing her possible contacts from the moment she developed symptoms. The cdc team lead for the dallas investigation has interviewed her and it appears that at this time there were only one contact to may have had contact with her while she may have been infectious. Of that individual is under active monitoring. Third, we are evaluating other potential Health Care Workers exposure. ,f this individual was exposed which they were, it is possible that others were exposed. We know that this individual did provide care to the index patient on the multiple occasions. That care included extensive contact. Fourth, we will undertake a complete investigation of how this may have occurred. That is so important so we can understand that are and intervene to prevent this from happening in the future. The head of the cdc there talking about what happens next after a dallas nurses tested positive. The cdc will give another update today at noon. We will cover it here on cspan. Will hear again from the cdc director about what is next for preparing hospitals to deal with ebola. You heard the doctor speaking about an investigation. Present obama called for that investigation yesterday. The New York Times is saying this this morning. Our first color on this caller on this. Caller i believe they can handle it. Media ishappens, the scaring the dickens out of the american public. I remember when this country had a president who said the only thing we have to fear is fear itself. Fear, letssoning not give way to blind unreasoning fear. Have a great day. Host what gives you confidence . My late wife was up at the Cleveland Clinic in 2012. They did a wonderful job. She had deterioration of the lower spine. The had some wonderful doctors. I wish in columbus we had a Cleveland Clinic. Doctors, the only thing they dont do and i wish u would cover this book the politics of cancer. Do ising we need to educate the public, dont scare the be jabbers out of them. The New York Times has this article. That is from a piece in the new yorker magazine. Confidencen is your toamerican hospitals ability respond to ebola. We want to hear from nurses and doctors as well. We would go to maxine in new york. Good morning. Confidence is strong. This is the netted states. Diedend that man home that when he had a 103 degree temperature and he was telling you he was in one of the african countries that had it . I think if you are a person of color you will die with it. I dont understand why he was allowed to die. I hope this nurse that treated him is white, if not she will die. Host gilbert is in alabama. Thanks for cspan. Cdc. Iggest problem is that victim, to blame the the nurse. A my vela scene the incompetence and this man . They had an interview with a guy out of minnesota. He said in his past time that the World Health Organization flightsquarantining the. We are on the verge of a pandemic. That the head of the cdc is an incompetent individual, this is our problem. I really let cspan allowing me to expose this guy. Host what about having some sort of ebola czar . Replace this man. He doesnt have a clue. The issue of having one person who is in charge was brought up by john mccain. He was on a state of the union. My constituents and not comforted. There must be more reassurance given to them. Charge. Know who is in there has to be some sort of star. I think we have to look at people coming into the added states, not just at our airports but the places where they leave from. There are not direct flights from africa. Americans have to be reassured. I dont think we are comforted by the fact that we were told there would never be a case of ebola in the United States and that is not correct. I was impressed by your panel. I would like to know who is in charge among other things. Mccain on ar john cnn talking about having one person in charge of ebola in this country. We are getting your thoughts in the confidence level of u. S. Hospitals to respond to ebola. The New York Times has this headline. It will cosponsored training for 5000 people, including nurses and environmental Health Care Workers. Thisll be streamed live to hospitals across the country. That is from the New York Times about what the cdc is doing. There will be another update from atlanta. We will hear from them again about what they are doing and what they plan to do to respond to ebola. Christina is calling from alabama. Go ahead. I like the shirt that you are wearing today. Host what is your confidence level . Caller very low. Duncans death should be training these Health Care Workers more on the ebola situation. Host you dont think there has been enough training . Where should be done it . Should the hospitals, these privately hospitals, should they be doing this . Or the government . Caller both of them. Host john is calling from new jersey. Good morning to you. Stopr i think we need to the flights from coming in. We are too politically correct. We need to have people running the government instead of empathetic people. We have a president who dislikes the army. And an attorney general the dislikes law enforcement. Host what about the hospitals . Are you there question mark caller they should be isolated. Each hospital is not equipped red i wouldnt want my local hospital to be accepting ebola patients if i have to go there. It is not an easy problem. We need to be tougher and things we do and not empathetic. Host let me ask you another thing about new jersey. This is a headline from the. Aily news it do the health apartment to crack down and put her and her team that was in a country, liberia, in a mandatory isolation. I just saw that this morning. It is appalling and shocking that someone of that intelligence and experience would disregard something. It is arrogant. Host what you think about government . A texas judge had to do the same thing. The do you think about governments putting people in mandatory isolation or quarantines . Ler we need our clinical Political Rights and we understand that. There are times when stupid people make mistakes. I am chagrined that they are blaming the victim. I dont know that she did anything wrong. The nurse in dallas. They told her what to do. It shows me that while we have to put out Public Comments and talk and say weve got it under fears, itd allay the is not always accurate. You are always on your own. People have to understand that. The bottom line is you have to protect yourself and your family. Angelaets hear from the who is a doctor in texas. I work in a hospital. Is your hospital prepared . Caller absolutely. They have done everything to make sure that this virus has not spread. They have made it the facilities are up to par. This information they are receiving from the media is just being over exaggerated. We have done everything to make sure that the patients and the nurses surrounding that patient is given the care and the compassion that they need. Making sure. We are praying and making sure that they are covered. Host do you work at the hospital where these patients were . You work at that hospital . Of rumorsere are lots and things running rampant. You have to always remain focused. Remain centered. We are working toward the objectives. They are strategizing. That whataking sure needs to happen across dallas occurs. Nurse. Ell us about the what happened when Thomas Duncan came in . He was sent home. A lot of media and our viewers are wondering about that as well. Can you clear up any misinformation there . In,er when he first came you get the form and you write on the form exactly what your ailments are. He tried to hide some of the facts. What was thet down cause of his reasoning for coming in. He came to the emergency room and thought he needed a quick shot. He did not give any specific details. Doctors, we cannot assess a case unless we know thoroughly what that patient has arrived for. We have a variety of methodologies that we need to take when a patient comes in. When he came in as a patient, he was not forthcoming. Host what about his travel history . Caller when he traveled before he got here to the United States, that was taken care of before they did the testing before he left. Flight, het on the had another agenda. What about the nurses . Do they feel they have enough tech gear to deal with any bola patient . How did this nurse contracted . Caller that is a rumor. There is no truth to that. Never directly interacted with him. How did she test positive for ebola . Caller there were no bodily fluids. This is an over exaggeration. How are they going to have sex . Host lets move on to carl. Ebola has been wellknown in act for go for 40 years. The two doctors that supposedly. Ad it were miraculously cured way. t see other trackrite a 20 billion check from the treasury and vote for democrats on the election. Ebola will disappear the day that 20 billion dollar check is written by obama. There is no other way. Up. A is being built we have no idea people are dying. Epidemic in this people were three bought here by the government itself for treatment when there is no cure. They are locked in a nice hospital room. Build a lot of hospitals in africa and save us the trouble of bringing them here. Host that is carl a republican. Caller good morning. Inthing is that john called and he was blaming the president and the attorney general. We should get a Surgeon General that can speak for all of us. Have differentt conversations all the time could we need a Surgeon General. We need to get a Surgeon General. They need to relay that information to john mccain. Here are some headlines from local newspapers about whether or not their hospitals are prepared to deal with ebola. This is the des moines register. Then you have the baltimore sun. Then you also have the los saying that out of california. Idea of whatu some the local newspapers are reporting on this. Is your confidence level in hospitals to respond to ebola now that hair has been this dallas nurse who treated Thomas Duncan. She tested positive for ebola. Congressionalthe part of this. Lastis a headline from wednesday. Richard blumenthal from a connecticut is tweeting this out. That was senator blumenthal. There is a picture of it right there. It would help Health Officials care for any bola patient and have that plastic containment area around the patient themselves. Senators are putting out there on twitter what they think companies in their states could be doing to help with this situation. We have an independent color in new york. Caller good morning. We have little knowledge of how this virus has evolved in africa. It can go to any part of africa. To worry only about west africa is missing the big take your. It is going to be all over africa. How it can be easily transmitted. Thised states has to is a problem that is not going to go. Even the hospitals cannot handle it. Imagine what poor hospitals in africa would be overwhelmed. We need to work with the International Community. I dont see other countries coming to the plate. Where is china . Host tom is in dayton, ohio. Caller it concerns me a little bit. Said that the rights of the many outweigh the rights of the few. I think maybe should put a quarantine on flights coming in. It makes no sense to me to fly sick people all over the world when we could contain in one area. Hospital,ople to the flu season is coming. We need to take that 212 million and build in america. We can keep them in certain areas. Host do you think that the cdc if somebody comes in to a hospital that is not prepared or does not specialize in dealing with this situation, they should be transferred to a different hospital . Caller there should be certain places that that is all they are working with. I do know if the cdc is in every hospital. They say continue traveling. It makes no sense to me at all. Four hospitals in the United States those with four hospitals in the United States that specialize in this type of care. The wall street journal says that screen began at jfk airport in new york. By the way, nurses groups and complaining that they dont feel they are adequately trained and have the right equipment to treat ebola patients. Unitetional nurses continued to sound the alarm and call for Hazardous Material suits and all hospitals. That is what that unit would like see happen. Lets go to tom. Thank you for cspan. Ive been listening to a lot of this on different news programs. If mr. Duncand had insurance or not. They sent him home. In my experience, if you dont have insurance at the hospital, they get you in and get you out. They dont want to incur any costs. Host i havent seen that story either. Hi brenda. We as americans, ever since this present has come in office, we have not been able to come together around anything. Outbreak of an Infectious Disease and we are bickering over if its obamas fault and what he needs to do while we have Congress Sitting allome making money off of of this and will not do their job. We are in a crisis. They have cut off funding. They are threatening again to shut the government down.
