In a moment were going to talk to cdc director tom frieden about stopping the spread of ebola. But first Manuel Bojorquez with the first victim diagnosed here. Manuel, good morning. Reporter good morning, and good morning to viewers in the west. Weve learned seven Health Care Workers and three family members are considered to have had the close et contact with the patient while he was sick. Theyre being closely monitored. So far none have shown symptoms. Duncan has been in an Isolation Unit here at Texas Health Presbyterian hospital for a full week now but his condition has gone from serious to critical. Hazmat crews covered from head to toe did another sweep of the apartment sunday where Thomas Eric Duncan stayed before he was taken to the hospital. Doctors so far have not used experimental treatments on duncan. When asked, Thomas Frieden director of the centers for Disease Control and prevention said theres a reason. The medication that you mention can be quite difficult for patients to take and may transiently worsen their condition. Reporter efforts to isolate potential new cases continue. Health workers are checking on nearly 50 people who may have had contact with duncan. Authorities put out an alert yesterday when they couldnt contact michael lively, a homeless man considered a lowrisk contact. He was the patient in this ambulance immediately after duncan. But within hours they found him. It was yet another challenge for officials trying to prove their efforts are working. I am absolutely confident that we will stop ebola from spreading here. Reporter dallas countys top administrative official has emerged as the face of the response. Choosing to visit quarantined family members without protective gear and even driving them to a new location, an isolated home in an undisclosed gated community to calm public fears. Theres zero chance youre going to get ebola from being near an asymptomatic person. Reporter he acknowledged there have been missteps, including the hospitals initial release of duncan when he first showed up with symptoms. Mistakes were made. The hospital has been very forth right that they made mistakes. Were they prepared for this . The county had a protocol in place that unfortunately was not followed. Reporter exactly why duncan was initially released is still unclear. At first the hospital said there was a flaw in the way the electronic records were but later they said there was no flaw in there system. And the medical team did have access to information that duncan had come from liberia. Manuel thanks. Cdc director dr. Tom frieden is with us from atlanta. Hes briefing president obama on the Ebola Outbreak today. Doctor, good morning. Good morning. Can you tell us the condition of mr. Duncan and how hes been treated . The patient in dallas is critically ill and were hoping for progress. What we have seen is that efforts of the dallas and texas state and cdc to track the contacts have been very well done. Every contact was identified and measured for temperature yesterday. None of them have symptoms or fever and were confident if there are any secondary cases there we can stop the chain of transmission. Doctor, let me ask you. Should the cdc now consider a plan to screen everyone coming from these west african countries . Everyone is being screened when they leave the country. In fact we know mr. The patient in dallass temperature was 97. 3 when he left monrovia. In fact about 40,000 people have come in from those countries since the outbreak started and none of them had fever from ebola when they came in. But we will look at all opportunities to improve the safety of americans. Thats what the cdc does 24 7 is protect americans. One thing thats encouraging is some science of progress. We have treated 4,000 people across africa across these three country, and nigeria, to fight ebola. And were seeing the first training here in the u. S. 60 people are going through cdc training and were going to see those people deployed to africa and join hundreds of people from around the country, from around the world, who are responding to the outbreak. So definite signs of progress. Is that your message to the president when you speak to him this morning or is it more . Well, were going to be covering many aspects and figuring out what we can do to follow the president s orders to do everything we can to protect the americans and stop the outbreak. When will you get more zmapp . Medications are going to be hard to find that work against this, against ebola. Were encouraged by some of the vaccine trials where there may be vaccines that are safe and effective, and we rapidly need to understand whether they work and get them into the field. So no panic as far as youre concerned. We need to understand this is going to be a long road. Its not going to be easy. But we know how to stop ebola and im confident we will. Dr. Frieden, thank you so much. Thank you. Schools in new jersey are dealing with new worries about another virus. A preschooler there is the first confirmed victim to die from enterovirus d68 in the u. S. Vicente arenas is in Hamilton Township with the battle to find the answers. Reporter good morning.

His death has resulted in sadness and fear here. 150 parents and Community Members questioned officials sunday night about enterovirus d68. Jennifer cramer has two kids at the school. I asked if there was a specific cleaning protocol in place. Reporter eli waller died on september 25th, but the cause of his death was just released friday. The child stayed home from school with pink eye. He went to sleep that night, but did not wake up. Jeffrey plunkett is the Districts Health officer. The teachers in the little ones classroom do a terrific job if a little one has a sneeze, a cough. They react to it right away. Reporter enterovirus d68 symptoms includes fever, coughing, sneezing and occasionally a rash. Many of the kids affected have had difficulty breathing and asthma attacks.

Four other deaths are being blamed on the infection. Another student in Hamilton Township is now being tested for enterovirus d68.

In britain, family and friends gathered last night to remember alan henning. He was murdered in the video released by isis on friday. Holly williams is in istanbul turkey with more on the two hostages. Holly, good morning. Reporter good morning.

The islamic extremists who murdered alan henning said it was retribution for british air strikes against isis in iraq. His blood is on the hands of the british parliament. Reporter after hennings brutal execution, his killers followed their usual habit of threatening the life of another hostage. This time an american aid worker peter kassig whos converted to islam in captivity and is now known as abdul rahman.

Delivering food, clothing, and medical supplies to syrians. But a year ago he was taken captive by isis. His parents, ed and paula kassig, have begged the islamic militants to be granted mercy. Our hearts ache to hug you and then set you free to continue the life you have chosen, a life to serve those in greatest need. Reporter in a letter to his parent, kassig wrote about his fear of being killed. The hardest part is not knowing, he told them. Wondering, hoping, and wondering if i should even hope at all. Kassig also told his parents that if hes murdered by extremists who are holding him, he hopes theyll take some comfort from the fact that he died as a result of helping other people. Norah . All right, holly, thank you. Isis uses a sophisticated Online Presence to appeal to young westerners. The recruitment process often starts on websites like twitter and ask. Fm. Last night scott pelley was told they often commit to isis on their own. Some people call individuals who are radicalized lone wolves. Is that the biggest threat we face . If people use that term its not one i like. Because it conveys a sense of dignity i dont think they deserve. These home grown violent extremists are troubled souls who are seeking meaning in some misguided way and so they come across the propaganda and they become radicalized on their own sort of independent study. And theyre also able to equip themselves with training through the internet and then engage in jihad after emerging from their basement. The name lone wolf offends you. It does. Id prefer lone rat to capture the kind of person were talking about. Lone rat. Yeah. Is this as dangerous a time as al qaeda at its peak . No, i dont think so. Whats different . Were better organized as an intelligence community. Were better organized and equipped at the border. We have relationships with our foreign partners. All of which make us better able to see dots and connect dots. The transformation since before 9 11 is striking. Its not just young men who are joining isis. Hundreds of girls and women are leaving europe to make a home in the middle of jihad. Well have that story ahead here on cbs this morning.
