FILE - This April 23, 2013, file photo shows a window cleaner working on the glass-pyramid of the Louvre museum in Paris, Tuesday, April 23, 2013. If the Socialist government gets its way, visitors to France's three most touristic museums â the Louvre, the Musee d'Orsay and Versailles Palace â may get to visit seven days a week in coming years. As part of the government's 2015 budget bill, the Culture Ministry announced this week it plans to give the museums the "necessary means" to open every day â as long as work and conservation conditions are respected. Versailles and Orsay are closed Mondays, while the Louvre is shut on Tuesdays. (AP Photo/Jacques Brinon, File)

Iraqi Kurdish soldiers pause from combat to make tea near to the front line in Mahmoudiyah, Iraq, a day after they take control of the village from the Islamic State group, as they patrol on Wednesday, Oct. 1, 2014. Iraqi Kurdish fighters on the front lines of battle say they have yet to receive the heavy weapons and training pledged by the United States and nearly a dozen other countries to help them push back the Sunni militants. Without more sophisticated weaponry, the Kurdish fighters, known as peshmerga, have had to rely on aging arms like the Soviet-era cannons, a centerpiece of the offensive Tuesday to retake Mahmoudiyah.

Since the announcement of his illness, Duncan has become a symbol of how Ebola could spread within the United States.
