## Transcript

With alarm growing over a potential Ebola outbreak in the US President Obama sent out top officials to reassure the country. The United States is prepared to deal with this crisis both at home and in the region. Our healthcare infrastructure in the United States. is well equipped to stop Ebola in it's tracks. The White House trying to show it has the situation under control after heated criticism that local health officials in Dallas first sent Ebola patient Thomas Aaron Duncan, visiting from Liberia, before his family brought him back. That gap between care causing concern that the disease could spread.

There were things that did not go the way they should have in Dallas, but there are a lot of things that went right. Dr. Fouche says the CDC is tracing any contacts Duncan had essential to preventing an outbreak. But as of now, the Obama administration is not considering increased screening for passengers coming into the U. S. or banning travellers from hard hit nations in west Africa relying on screening by those countries. The most effective way to go about controlling this is to prevent those individuals from getting on a plane in the first place. Even as they sought to calm American's concerns officials acknowledged they need to do more.

We're having the press conference because we need to get information out because there is a lot of fear. We cannot overcommunicate. About this issue.
