Double standard . Incredibly revealing social experiment, actors pretending to be a couple fighting on the street. He attacks her. [ bleep ] [ bleep ]. Then she attacks him zblie wasn. I wasnt cheating on you. You wouldnt believe how differently witnesses reacted today, friday, october 3rd, 2014. Announcer from nbc news, this is today with matt lauer and Savannah Guthrie live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. And good morning. Welcome to today on a friday morning. Im matt lauer, along with tamron hall. Tamron is here while savannah is on Maternity Leave. Natalie morales and dylan dreyer join us as well. Al is making his way back from afghanistan. It seems every day this week weve had some new development in the ebola scare and today is no exception. Now its hit home. Dr. Nancy is with us from monrovia. How is this young man, ashoka mukpo doing . Hi, matt. He sounded this morning well. Its been 48 hours. Of course, when he realized that he had a fever and was feeling achy in this environment, the word ebola pops to the top of everyones mind. He was quarantined overnight, 48 hours ago, got his test. It turned out to be positive and at that point, its all been a matter of logistics of stabilizing him. He is with Doctors Without Borders and will be air lifted out to a Medical Center in the United States. But hes good. The amount of virus in his body is low. He should have a very good prognosis. Obviously theres a larger team there in liberia, nancy, with you. So the question is, how long had you been working with him . And how close was the contact between you and the other members of the team with him once he became symptomatic . Well, once he became symptomatic, we only spent two hours together. He and i were working in a workplace and he told me that he wasnt feeling well. He joined us 72 hours earlier as an independent journalist and had been in the hospital had been in the country two weeks prior to that. So, my suspicion is that he was infected before we met him. And then he became symptomatic once we met him. We shared a work space. We shared vehicles. We shared equipment. But everyone here is hyper alert. We have not been in close proximity. No one shakes hands. Theres no hugging. So i do believe that our team, while we are being hyper vigilant, we are at very, very, very low risk for becoming ill. And yet youre going to fly out today. Youre monitoring your temperature quite a few times through the day. From my understanding, once you get back to the United States, youre going to self quarantine for up to 21 days . Yes. We are taking this very, very, very cautious were approaching this very cautiously and probably more judiciously than others. We will self quarantine on our own, take our temperature twice a day. If i, we, have a fever, obviously well then get tested. But the norm is because you must come into contact with bodily fluids, vomit, diarrhea, blood, urine or sweat directly, because we have not had that kind of exposure, even though i was in an ebola isolation unit, i was wearing protective gear. I disrobed according to protocol. We have recognized and observed universal precautions here and were going to extend that for 21 days out of courtesy and respect to our colleagues and the United States citizens. That certainly makes sense. Nancy, please wish ashoka mukpo our very best. The reason were doing a phone interview with nancy this morning is because all the camera gear theyve been using to bring this story back to the United States is now being disinfected and cant be used. Nancy, thank you very much. Thank you. Dr. Mitchell levie and diana mukpo are with us now. Thank you both for joining us this morning. Good morning, tamron. Thanks for having us. Good morning. Dr. Levie, let me start with you. I know you spoke with your son on the phone. What can you tell us about his spirits and what he has told you regarding his condition. I just talked to him early this morning. And his spirits seem better today. I think, obviously, he is scared and worried he has been filming whats happening in liberia for two weeks and seeing the death and tragedy and now its really hit home for him. But his spirits are better today. He knows hes going to come home. He knows he just has a couple more days and still his symptoms are fairly mild. Just a mild fever. I was really happy to hear how hes doing, walking around. More cheerful. Tender but cheerful today. Diandiana, as a mother, i ca imagine the worry and stress you are experiencing. What more did he tell you regarding the conditions there and the care he specifically is receiving as he waits a trip back to the u. S. . He is receiving the best care possible that they can offer him, Doctors Without Borders, in monrovia. Sti still, it cant possibly, because of the lack of resources, compare to what will be available to him when he returns to the United States. The enormous anxiety i haves a mother or we share as parents is the delay between now and him leaving on sunday. The state department has been fantastic. Theyve been compassionate. I cannot say how much i appreciate how wonderful the government is being. That doesnt take away from the fact that hes still going to be in liberia until sunday and i can only hope and pray that his symptoms dont worsen. Dr. Levie, when you spoke with your son, you told him how proud you are of him and that he return to that country to expose what was happening, the plight of the thousands who died and the social situation on the ground there. Yes. He spent two years in monrovia working with a Nongovernment Organization and really made a strong connection to the liberian people and he felt strongly when he started to hear what was going on and wanted to go back and see if he could make a difference. I was obviously conflicted as a parent but really proud that he has the integrity and desire to do something good and went back to monrovia. Im happy that he has that kind of integrity and also concern that he put himself in harms way to do that. Dr. Mitchell levie and diana mukpo, thank you so much under these circumstances. They must be so worried. Thank you. Nancy writebol, one of the First Americans to contract ebola, just wanted to drop you a note to let you know how sorry we are to hear the news of the cameraman that has tested positive for ebola. Please know we will be praying for all of you. We are praying god will bring this deadly virus to an end. Obviously, this news spreading quickly. In the meantime, were learning more about why Thomas Duncan, the first person diagnosed with ebola here in the u. S. , was allowed back into the community after going to the community with symptoms that have virus. And some of the people who had contact with duncan now quarantined as a precaution are speaking out. Kate snow is in dallas. Kate, good morning to you. Reporter good morning, matt. At the apartment where duncan had been living, people are under quarantine and now are complaining that theyre sitting inside the very place that he got so desperately ill. Cleaners are expected to show up to that apartment complex to do an intensive sanitization of the place. The hospital late last night finally clarified how it was that duncan went to the e. R. One week ago today and was sent back home. The hospital says when Thomas Eric Duncan came to the e. R. Last friday he had a fever and other symptoms that could have been caused by many things. When asked, the hospital says he told a nurse he had not been around anyone ill. He said the same thing before boarding a plane to leave liberia. He did tell a nurse that he was in liberia. Now disease detectives are on a frontic search to did not and he was check with the people in dallas and obviously as the head of the centers of Disease Control so concerned about the spread of this virus where hot zone basically to come and sanitize the place. Its unclear if the cleaning has happened yet. A food bank sent in a threeday supply of meals, leaving the boxes outside the door. Down the street, also quarantined, the daughter of duncans girlfriend, her husband and four kids, ages 2 to 11. I spoke with her by phone. Her young kids spent a lot of time near duncan last weekend. Maybe they would be like hugging him, maybe he would be kissing. We just pray to god he hasnt spread it to them or us. Reporter his Mother Record this had video message for her son. I want to hug you, for you to hug me, for us to see each other. He really needs help. This is suffering. This is not the way anyone would want to go down in history. Reporter the president , meantime, called the dallas mayor yesterday to make sure they have all the resources they need here. Meantime, back in liberia, the government there says they will prosecute duncan for what they say he said on that questionnaire when he was leaving liberia. They say he lied when he said he had no contact with anyone ill with ebola. Matt . Kate snow in dallas. Kate, thank you very much. Earlier this morning, we talked to dr. Tom frieden and i asked him about why the apartment where Thomas Duncan was staying in wasnt immediately cordoned off and cleaned. The details of that, you would have to refer to the folks in dallas. This is, after all, the first time weve ever had a case of ebola in the u. S. When things removed, thats done safely, that it wont be disposed of in any way that would potentially be a risk. You say we have to check with the people in dallas, but this was a week. And, obviously, as the head of the centers for Disease Control, so concerned about the spread of this virus, is it acceptable that an apartment would be in that condition, a hot zone basically, for a week after that patient left that building . We have had our staff working with the local authorities. We understand that bleach has been used and this is something we expect to get resolved today. It seemed like it took an awful lot of time to have that taken care of. Yes, it does seem that way. Well have more, of course, throughout the morning.
