Debora patta is following us with news. Good morning. Solemn news. The World Health Organization sounded the alarm. Ebola is spreading faster than it is to contain it. Emergency measures have already been implemented. Security forces have quarantined some villages and are going door to door looking for infected people encouraging them to get treatment. But it is on the front line of the bat toll prevent ebola to prevent from spiraling out of control that the fear of the disease often causes more harm than the disease itself. Many people wont go for treatment believing that entering an isolation ward is an effective death sentence and in some instances highly contagious parents have run away. Across the continent, there are increasingly jittery border officials. The libya plane was quarantined on suspicion that a passenger had ebola. And in south africa there were six cases although none of them tested positive for the disease. For cbs this Morning Saturday debora patta, Johannesburg South africa. For more on the outbreak were joined by dr. William schaffner. Good morning. Good morning, anthony. A lot of people are understandably nervous about ebola patients being brought into this country. How concerned should we be dr. Schaffner . Actually id like to be very reassuring. The average person doesnt need to be anxious at all. This is a virus that we can contain very very securely we know how to do that. Em emory is good at doing that. And we Infectious Disease doctors, we know the most were not concerned. Normally theres experimental protocols. What exactly will happen aside from being isolated from the world once they arrive for treatment . Actually the treatment is very important, vinita, because although we cant treat the virus itself we are expert at providing good supportive care. We can watch to see all that the organs are functioning well, that the patients metabolic status is good and this will help the body recover from the virus. Will give the patients the best chance to survive this virus. Dr. Schaffner, were talking about the worst Ebola Outbreak in history. Why has it been spreading so quickly . Its been spreading quickly because preeshs Ebola Outbreaks were in isolated rural villages where it could be contained. This has gotten into population scepters where people move around. Theres also a lot of rumors that have swirled around so some of the local people are not not accepting advice and care from people coming in. And also this sounds a little ghoulish but funeral practices are very important out of respect to the dead in those cultures. Its very important that people be washed very thoroughly, and thats done by family and friends. Thats exactly how people then acquire the infection from the dead person. And that has not been able to be interrupted. And so we have to work on a number of things in order to try to curtail this outbreak. And i love the new attention that the World Health Organization is giving and that the cdc is sending people there to assist. All right. Dr. William schaffner in nashville this morning. Thanks so much for being with us. My pleasure. The Ebola Outbreak will top the agent dan tomorrow morning on face the nation with Norah Odonnell sitting in for bob schieffer.

Reporter good morning, anthony. Once again, Israeli Soldiers woke up to air raid sirens for incoming missiles. This ceasefire supposed to last for days. Meanwhile, an intensify man hunt is under way to find the missing soldier. Any hope of a lasting ceasefire lies beneath the rubble. Israeli forces are now focusing their attention and fire power on two priorities. Smashing whats left of hamas weapons and tunnels and finding the missing iz rasraeli soldier. The 23yearold disappeared. A suicide bomber blew himself up killing two Israeli Soldiers. Accused of dragging him away into a tunnel. Israeli forces say theres no telling whether hes been injured. His father said were certain the military will not stop until they have turned every stone and brought him home safe and sound. Today, hamas said they have no idea where he could be. His military wing said they lost contact with the fighters involved in the clashes and he may have been killed in an israeli air strike. The alleged kidnap triggered an onslaught. An attack that came during what was supposed to be a pause in the fighting now threatens to escalate the conflict even further. Israeli soldiers have been holding emergency meetings.

The president also addressed the fight hes facing here at home with republicans on the immigration issue. Reporter good morning. House republicans passed a 694 million bill aimed at addressing the growing crisis of unaccompanying minors crossing the border with mexico. It would speed the process of sending some of those children back to their countries. Before the vote took place, president obama said the bill is going nowhere. Theyre not trying to solve the problem. They made it more extreme so that maybe they can pass it today. So they can check a box before theyre leaving town for a month. The president vowed to veto the bill although the senate controlled by democrats is unlikely to bring it up for a vote. The senates own plan failed to pass a preliminary vote this week. And president obama said with congress out on recess he may act alone to allocate resources ss for the border crisis.

We had earnings come out, some of them were weak. We had a lot of geopolitical information in the news. Argentina defaulted and that was, you know something that was unexpected.

I have learned a lot from you and anthony, where the jobs were added really matter. 209,000 new jobs. So where did we see that growth and why that was important . It was across the board. It wasnt concentrated in any one area. Business Services Financial services. Manufacturing, construction retail. It was across the board. Thats actually very good news and it offsets the number being a little bitless than what some people had hoped for. The expectation and it offsets this on the unemployment number. That number ticked up just slightly to 6. 2 . More people seeing jobs being created and let me get back in this work force and let me find a job.
