The 1st lady and a c. B. S. Aide have also tested positive a month out from election day the new uncertainty of the campaign trumps democratic rival j. Biden and his wife have tested negative for the virus there were concerns about exposure during tuesdays debate the president does have miles sent and as as we look 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 a number of times this morning well the 1st lady also has mild coronavirus since however she said in a tweet that shes feeling good and thank people for the concern lets cross over to the white house now officials are standing by there and now the pressure in the building behind you they must be scrambling all my old morning and for the rest of the day no doubt how much concern is there for the president and whats the latest. Well in a year of dramatic events in a presidency of dramatic events who would have thought of this is a plot twist just a month before the election yes the president is in the building behind me thats the residency here at the white house there are a number of rooms there and he is self isolating hes going to take part in normal business as normal on the foreign and fight made who is the chief of staff or you have from recently well he said that hes at least 6 things from the president to do today as you would expect and as you say the innocent from the Trump Campaign saying that theyre going to respond all events involving the president for the foreseeable future or move them virtually clearly this is a sort of disease that can take its toll on people and they cant make fun plans at this stage we got the end i spent just after 1 am on friday morning it was a bit of a surprise but it is certainly through in this white house into a bit of chaos as my colleague and our White House Correspondent kimberly no reports the shocking news came in a late night tweet from the white house President Donald Trump wrote tonight the 1st lady and i tested positive for coded 19 we will begin our quarantine and Recovery Process immediately we will get through this together its not known how despite elaborate precautions and constant coronavirus testing of white house officials the press corps and others in contact with trump how he contracted the virus but earlier one of trumps aides hope pics was confirmed to have tested positive. Hicks a Company Trump to the debate in Cleveland Ohio on tuesday trump phoned into a Fox Television program on thursday and talked about hicks having been exposed its a tough kind of a situation its a Terrible Bank so i just went for it and well see what happens i mean who knows the white house physician sean conley said trump and the 1st lady are both well at this time that the White House Medical Team will maintain a vigilant watch malani a trump later tweeted we are feeling good trump has several risk factors the put him in danger of complications from covert 19 hes in his mid seventys and overweight. We have to wait for the next few days. You know for some people get really sick within hours but you know some people dont get sick until week after and so we have to really be carefully observing the situation travis declined to wear a mask on many occasions looting at rallies where many of his supporters also scorned wearing a mask his entourage including family members went without masks at the tuesday debate trump even ridiculed democratic candidate joe biden for wearing a mask as recommended by virtually all Public Health experts i dont wear masks like him every time you see hes got a mask he could be speaking 200 feet away from it he shows up with the biggest mask ive ever seen if trump became seriously ill and was unable to carry out his duties the constitution provides for Vice President mike pence to take over temporarily pence said he is praying for trumps recovery and on friday tested negative for covert nighty there can be no spin you can be you know harbor ups there has to be clear understanding of what is going on with this persons president United States because otherwise hes not a passage to take care of the business he will have to be by the 25th amendment transition has to occur. But a glaring question now is how the news will affect trumps Reelection Campaign hes already trailing nationally in certain key swing states it would seem the truck can ill afford to stay out of commission for a quarantine period of 2 weeks trump joins other World Leaders including brazils president and the u. K. Prime minister who have also contracted the virus worldwide the death toll from covert 19 has exceeded 1000000 can really help it aljazeera the white house. And what about that question the Election Campaign is just over a month away its incredibly close to a certain amount of drama to say the least into into proceedings what all the implications no. Well certainly joe biden can continue to campaign he has of the test in the last few hours that was negative were told from the Biden Campaign that they went and formed by the white house and the donald trump had tested positive they only discovered it when the for head bit like everyone else on the t. V. Just after 1 am in the morning joe biden has put out a statement saying that he hopes the president and the 1st lady recover and he will hold them in his prayers certainly dont trump wont be able to campaign he likes going out on a boat he feeds off the energy of the crowd any time hes been holding a rally you see the people behind them all waiting must still isnt the whole do intend to do that because they dont quite accept the Science Behind masks and that what makes this a difficult position for donald trump hes ridiculed those that were masks he has talked about joe biden being 200 yards away but the Biden Campaign has put in the socially distance protocols which have allowed to joe biden to go out to meet people and also they moved a lot of the Campaign Online so theyve had on growing online fundraisers and rallies and town halls thats not something that the republicans have done much of and they now have to pivot to that particularly in the last and the next 2 weeks while donald trump is self isolating it will be hard for him to regain some of the ground because if you look at the opinion polls hes 8 percent behind nationally but what hes so much about the National Polls look at the big the key swing states and hes also behind there hes also concerned about places like georgia and texas normally staunch republican seats. Staunch republican states rather and he was planning to go to texas next week thats all up in the air he wont be doing that no thats been postponed until the foreseeable future because hes cold and hes no self isolating in that building behind me. And thanks a lot of fish there at the white house. While House Speaker nancy pelosi said shes waiting for test results after being tested in hopes the president s illness brings about a change in policy towards the disease this is tragic its very sad but it also is something that. Is going into crowds unmasked and all the rest this is sort of a brazen invitation for Something Like this to happen its sad that it did but nonetheless hopeful that it will be a transition to a saner approach to what this virus is all about well lets take this on we can speak to liz mair whos a republican strategist and in connecticut liz welcome to the program. Of course has been a pretty defined to say the least in the face of medical advice and his approach towards mosques and so on hes now tested positive as we all know what are your thoughts about where were at. Yeah i mean this is very worrisome and very problematic at the end of the day donald trump has a number of other Health Conditions that put him in a prime demographic for getting a really bad case of this and being really adversely affected by it we know that it hits older men hard we know that people who have other preexisting conditions as he does tend to get harder hit harder by it and so this is very worrying whether one likes donald trump or not we want somebody who is in the presidency and he was serving as commander in chief who is able to do that job and we dont know if thats going to be the case as it stands given some of what weve seen with this illness the good news is yes mike pence has tested negative hopefully he will continue to do so i think mike pence has exercised more precautions with regard to things like masks and p. T. Than donald trump has and so hopefully we have a safe pair of hands there regardless of what happens to donald trump and a 1st lady you know if theyre not down for several weeks with a really bad illness but it is definitely worrying. Absolutely and look weve got just over a month to go less than november 3rd its no time at all 4 weeks before the election. How troubling is it to you as a republican that your president has not tested positive and its just thrown his campaign into disarray. Well i mean from my perspective im not voting for donald trump anyway ive always been an opponent of his from within the party but i think if im assuming to have somebody whos working on his campaign and trying to get him reelected you know its very troubling because ultimately a lot of the way that he does gin up his base to turn out is by doing things like these rallies hes clearly not going to be able to do that one way or another at this point it also is going to interfere with what hes trying to do from a fundraising standpoint and joe biden has been raising massive amounts of money and so thats got to be very concerning if you are a trump supportive group public and heading into these final weeks you know you also may not end up having the benefit of the debates or having debates in a timely fashion because ultimately the next one is to occur within what would be a 14 day quarantine period so you know the whole thing really does throw everything right off the rails and im not sure anybody can do a project whats going to happen from here is a lot of speculation i know and im going to speculate on Something Else what do you think these events will do for those undecided voters who you know wavering one way or the other and then suddenly they see the president United States after all that everything that hes been coming out with during this demick suddenly coming down with the virus itself. Well i mean 1st of all i think there are very few actual undecided voters at this point there are people who are trying to decide whether they vote and if so for him i dont think that there are many people who are trying to decide between trump and biden i think there may be some other people who are trying to also decide between one of those 2 you know and a 3rd Party Candidate but i just dont think theres a lot of competition between trump and biden right now i dont think that kind of undecided voter truly exists but you know for this small number of down and out there are i suspect what this is going to do is going to remind people that donald trump literally right now is probably about to be incapable of doing the job of being a president right if he gets even a little bit sick from this thats going to interfere with his ability to execute the job and its going to show that he really has failed with regard to his handling of this entire crisis in this entire pandemic so i think that this is not going to be good for him where the swing voters do actually exist the flip side of that though is you know i heard nancy pelosi is remarks and i think that she has been relatively restrained and done a decent job of staying on message i do think theres a very good chance that some elected democrat comes out and starts basically doing a factory lap about this search hearing the fact that the president has got something that could potentially kill him and that are going to be really bad you know that could jennifer a lot of sympathy for donald trump where currently he does not have any and it could cause people to view this differently so 2 you know if i were advising the Democratic Party i would tell them to be extremely careful with what they say about this because one person goes rogue and goes off message and says something thats deeply inappropriate and offensive and that could cause some real issues for the election and how people ultimately see this is just great get your perspective do appreciate speaking to us from connecticut thank you. Want to take a closer look at the president s health the president is 74 years old considered overweight both make a. High risk for 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 and november last year trump made an unscheduled visit to the doctor for tests something that is usually noted in his public diary the white house said that he was in good health and during his campaign in 2016 trumper produced a note saying that he would be the healthiest individual ever elected to the presidency adultery later said that trump had written the letter himself lets speak now to dr priya. Whos an Infectious Disease expert with the mayo clinic and she joins us live from rochester in minnesota dr welcome to the program. As the previous guest just discussed the president is in the prime demographic to get this badly at the moment he is apparently displaying mild symptoms could he from what we know of people developing from the disease once they get it could he get a lot worse yes so most people actually do have very mild symptoms initially 5 to 7 days into the illnesses when theyre highest for them deteriorating rapidly so. Having mild symptoms now doesnt mean that things couldnt change in the future so its something that needs be watched very carefully the president of course hes advised by a medical physician physician is in the end who is not an epidemiologist does that matter. So when youre looking at an individual patient being in a big immediately just no longer matters but you need is someone who is trained to recognize early signs of deterioration and act to prevent anything and prevent him from getting worse so what he really needs is a really good clinician know now what about the process of Contact Tracing because trying to follow up with all the potential people that the president came into contact with over the last few days while he was infectious is a huge job just tell us a little bit about that. So typically when we do Contact Tracing in a in a medical setting if you try to find everybody that the index case has been in close contact quit warned them that they might have been exposed to cope it and therefore that they should avoid contact with a large number of other people and ideally they should you know quarantine themselves focal team days from that date of the contact. Now when you have a massive bents like this its really hard to contact each individual that might have been in contact with a very public figure and what is likely to happen is that media reports will be used to tell people anyone who attended news events should take precautions to prevent secondary transmission in the event that one of them but wont become infected with corba and was therefore a dangerous move for the president to continue with his schedule and go on to bed and. Once he knew that his close aide who picks had already tested positive. So ideally when one of your contacts has tested positive then the 1st thing that should happen is that you should put yourself into what is 12 quarantines so 14 days from that day to blast exposure you could potentially get corona virus infection and so thats what we call quarantine preventives isolation to prevent transmission to other things once you of that that is what should a bite really happen once you yourself are infected band you go into whats called isolation and thats actually a shorter period ending of how you doing it could be anywhere from and it could be as a little as 10 days and it could go up to 10. 00 to 20. 00 days that you are in such as to others and need to to be isolated. Preassembled can we do appreciate your expertise on this being very helpful thanks very much indeed thank you well donald trump is not the 1st world leader to contract the virus brazils president john polson are tested positive back in july and british Prime MinisterBoris Johnson was moved to an intensive care unit in april after contract yet hes tweeted to wish trump and his wife a speedy recovery is not in baba reports now from london. I think we all want to send our 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 british Prime MinisterBoris Johnson was one of the 1st World Leaders to send a message of support on friday one that was informed no doubt by pers
