For him because of course the democrats have for a very long time pivoted to virtual fundraising virtual town halls virtual rallies joe biden and his campaign have put together a very tight social distancing protocols so its not that much of a pivot for them it is a much bigger deal for the democrats to for the republicans to change their style of campaigning for donald trump and he needs to change the narrative of this race because if you look at the most recent polls there was one yesterday nationally hes behind by 8 percent what is concerning for him is that has been the same since very early in this race since joe biden essentially was named as the democratic candidate but hes also behind in key swing states so. Hes hes going to got to get surrogates out there hes got to get them on the ground hoping that they can generate interest but the reality is when it comes to the Republican Campaign donald trump is box office thats who they want to see thats who they want to hear from and for the next 2 weeks hes going to be very limited in his interactions and who knows what will happen next fish of the time being thanks very much indeed an official there at the white house. Well lets just review where were at the white house says that donald trump is experiencing mild symptoms after testing positive for coronavirus white house chief of staff has just said that trump is expected to remain on the job officials are now rushing to find those the president has come in close contact with in the past few days the 1st lady and a senior aide have also tested positive for covert 19 and a month out as weve just been discussing without official a month from election day theres new uncertainty over the campaign the president confirmed the results in a late night tweet hours all through a top aide was confirmed to have the virus pics traveled with the president several times in the past few days including on choose date to the debate in cleveland in ohio the next day they flew together to a Campaign Rally in minnesota the president does have mile sent and as as we look d to try to. Make sure that not only his health and safety and welfare is good we continue to look at that for all of the American People he continues to be not only in good spirits but very energetic weve talked to a number of times this morning. Lets bring in dirt plumber whos a democratic strategist and joins us live now from washington d. C. Mr plummer as a lot of uncertainty here to say the least what now do you think the Election Campaign how is it going to pan out. Well listen i think what we will see over the course of the next you know our guest tonight and now days is that you know this is going to bring the issue of the pandemic and health care to the forefront of American Voters one of these that weve seen over the last couple weeks is that the Charm Campaign has tried to as much as they could to pivot away from talking about health care talking about coded and right now their new campaign and she has and so people can be thinking about that and as was reported earlier thats going to change the dynamic in terms of how troublesome be able to get out his message you know hes in wanted to do these large rallies were people were Wearing Masks hes not going to really be able to do that its going to impact his fundraising joe biden just raised more than he needs he raised in august in august he shattered records at 365000000. 00 and trump is at a deficit in terms of fundraising so theres a number of factors a number ways a split Impact Campaign but this is only an october surprise and what do you think were going to see more of mike pence substituting campaign rather than fisher of course were just discussing then that its total trump whos box office. Yeah i mean look i think whats going to happen is that youre going to see more about mike pence right youre going to see more about who might pence is and what that means you know here in the u. S. Our succession is in the admitted the president pass it in any way that it in because the Vice President and what well see in the coming days i think is seen my pince you know the Vice President to be thats one of the next wednesday between he and senator harris and hes going to have to try to you know carry the weight of the campaign at least in the foreseeable future and do this we dont know if he can do that and what about joe biden best can he play this to his advantage will his campaign regard this as an opportunity converse for the for donald trump. Could a swift recovery work to his advantage. I have to say you know look historically when World Leaders have gotten sick weve seen poll numbers change so for instance when Boris Johnson earlier this Year Contract a coke that we saw a 17 percent bump in his Approval Rating i dont they were to see quite that with because he has really talked about. It in a way that its been nonchalant hes trying to downplay the actual significance of it not wearing a mask setter and so i dont think he can really expect too much not bump no way and i think what that means for the by the campaign is people actually want to talk about the substance people want to actually talk about what are the policies how are we going to say what does this mean when you know the president has the absolute best. Health care one can get his own personal doctor he has access to hospitals theres no one on this earth that has better access to medicine and doctors than the president the United States i think which is even the Biden Campaign is the really focus on the issues that matter most the pain to americans make sure theyre talking about why every american doesnt have the ability to have the type of access to health care that we see from elected officials like President Trump one thing that just occurs to me if donald trump did become too sick to take part in the election what would happen the. Yes so you know voting has already started in 36 in the u. S. And. You know he will remain on the ballot and there is a possibility you know he would withdraw i dont think that would happen but at the end of the day if hes not able to campaign on the ballot is still the same matter of fact i just received my ballot yesterday here in the d. C. Area and so you know we have an opportunity to vote for whos on the ballot but again i think thats what were going to see a lot more mike pence regardless because you know hes going to carry the message absolutely. And well see those tweets you have 10 to 14 days or so to do that and that is his you know his preferred method of communicating but i think people are going to actually hear some stuff from from. And from trump in terms of my policies and i think thats going to be primarily the burnette going to have to carry for the next 2 days appreciate so youre not assisting her mission thank you thanks for having me. Lets take a closer look at the president s health trump is 74 years old and considered overweight both make him high risk for the coronavirus questions were raised about his condition in june when he appeared to have difficulty Drinking Water and coming down from the stage at an event but he dismissed concerns about his health in november last year trump made an unscheduled visit to the doctor for a test something thats usually noted in his public during the white house said he was in good health during his campaign in 2016 trump produced a note saying hed be the healthiest individual ever elected to the presidency later said that trump had written the letter himself well son john. And if associate professor of Infectious Diseases at the Australian National university and he spoke to my colleague some music and told them that despite trumps age this still a possibility the president s case may not be too serious. Look he could potentially despite a couple of respect us have a very mild illness and hopefully that will be the case and he will get over it were angry cover without any major complications there are 2 things against against that his age and potential obesity as well we know that if someone is around 74. 00 which which is he 74. 00 also if youre over 70 the mortality rate of the death rate from this infection now it varies in studies around the world but its around 10 percent and if someone is a beast theres about a 100 percent increased risk of being hospitalized compared to someone who isnt about a 70 percent chance of having our critically ill illness and about a 48 percent chance of dying or right now how long might it take before one would know if this virus you know if were going to have you are going to suffer from this virus or its going to be a mild case i mean how soon would one be able to make that determination normally you know this is quite different to start sars often early on people got unwell but with curve it its usually early on in the 2nd week that people start to become unwell so the 1st few days of the you know this might be mild maybe that 2nd week that they start to become unwell and in fact when asked if a 48 percent chance of an obese person dying i mean of relative is not an absolute qualifier and from what we know about the president s schedule in the last 2448 hours you know hes hes had a busy schedule hes appeared at Campaign Rallies it wasnt long ago he was at that debate in Cleveland Ohio would you suspect somebody with that kind of active schedule may have passed this on to many other people or many other people may have received it from where. He got it from as well that this is not going to be just an isolated case thats right but look at it also depends on a few things was he symptomatic or asymptomatic if you was coughing and spluttering he may be inclined to have infected more people than if he was asymptomatic so that is important as well but context traces will try and determine what or how many close contacts the hat so how many people he was in almost face to face contact for 15 minutes or so or was in the same room for more than 2 hours so those sorts of things context races are going to go through in great detail to try and determine the number of close contacts that the president has had well u. S. President is not the 1st world leader to contract the virus brazils president gibe also nora he tested positive back in july and the british Prime MinisterBruce Johnson was moved to an intensive care unit in april after contracting covert i mean barbara has more now from london. Boris johnson has been one of the 1st world d leaders to put out a message of support for President Trump and his wife in the last few hours based not just on that close friendship that they verse struck up but based on Boris Johnsons own personal experience of being in a hospital with covered 193 nights of his hospital stay being in intensive care leading to dark days in which in his words things could have gone either way lets have a listen to what he said just a few hours ago well obviously i think we all want to send best wishes to the president and the 1st lady and ive done that this morning as you can imagine and im sure that theyll both stage a very strong recovery where Boris Johnson is to some extent and a changed man after his experience when he came out of hospital he paid tribute to medical workers who he said had saved his life he then started a fitness regime including daily runs and he has lost weight and just this week in fact reporters asked him whether he had fully recovered from coverage 19 he said that he was far healthier than he had been previously due mainly to losing weight and in the last few months hes actually trying to start an initiative to fight the big problem here in the u. K. Of obesity at the same time initially what he went through seems to actually increase his personal popularity ratings into april but then theyve actually started to go down following controversies over the way the government handled things like testing for coronavirus things like protective equipment for frontline workers d and other issues so i think there was a lot of public sympathy for Boris Johnson as well its not clear exactly how his experience will compare to the u. S. President s but certainly Boris Johnson has taken the whole danger the whole fate of coronavirus more seriously one can say than for example president also narrow in brazil.
