An antibody cocktail his election rival joe biden would draw as negative ads about trump and urges people to wear masks. And in other news after 6 days of fighting armenias government says its ready to discuss a cease fire in the going to care about. Thanks for joining us the u. S. President donald trump has been moved to a military Medical Center for treatment 24 hours after testing positive for a coronavirus or white house Officials Say trump will be cared for in a special suite at the walter reed medical facility for the next few days earlier trumps doctors said he was fatigued but in good spirits and was being treated with an experimental antibody cocktail its also being reported that he has developed a mild fever President Trump posted a brief video message to twitter shortly before he was transported to hospital take a look. Thank you everybody for the tremendous support im good you Walter Reed Hospital i think im doing very well but were going to make sure the. First lady doing very well so thank you very much appreciate it i will never forget thank you lets get an update with mike hanna hes joining us from the Walter Reed NationalMedical Center where trump as weve been reporting has been admitted so mike what are you hearing about the president and his condition. Well at the moment 3 president touched down 5 in the walter reed Medical Center a short while ago in Marine Force One close to one of the gates of the tent i was able to watch as the president s got out and assisted walk down the steps and then got into a waiting black car and hes now being driven to the comp center of the complex where we expect will believe all are told that he will be put in a suite that has been specially prepared for him to allow him to continue to work according to his job over the next 4 days a period that they say is just the time that he will be spending here one of the questions that we attempting to find the officer to is whether information about his condition is going to be coming from his stock or whether in fact it will be coming from the hospital authorities who are obviously in direct control of monitoring him from this particular point on which it will be from his personal physician who has accompanied him to the walter reed Medical Center so at this particular stage that be no statement about his condition you sold a little bit of the video message that he tweeted out show people all boarding marine one you could see he was looking somewhat tired saying that the lady his wife is being well certainly hes making it very clear that he is able to walk he walked into marine one he walked out of marine one when it landed we do not know at this particular stage what his condition is at this moment as i said were waiting to get more information from whatever pharmacy is going to be handing out all the tins from this point on you know my high understand that this is developing story and hes just arrived a few minutes ago but are we hearing anything at all about what happens over the next few hours perhaps the types of tests that he will be undergoing. No information whatsoever about that but heres another point that must be added we have been told. d the president has been put on an antibody cocktail 3 manufactured by a Company Called general on which as yet has no f. D. A. Approval it has not being final trials chested this is an experimental drug to make that point very clear now obviously in this kind of situation he will be under even close observation not only because of his condition from because of that virus but also because he is being treated given one does an experimental cocktail this obviously requires fos close monitoring then should be normal he is clearly going to be monitored for the impact of this experimental drug now the drug itself has been issued on what is called a particular basis that has come in its basis now obviously this drug is not available to the general public that goal has to be a special legal measure to be able to administer the drug and that is on the basis of compassion is a particular right that allows experimental drugs to be used on a compassionate basis normally to send me administered to people who may die if such an experimental drug is started minutes to whether or not this is the case that thats going to simply not enough information to base anything on that d but the point im making that in his suite at the walter reed Medical Center he will be monitored not sending for the virus itself and the impact on his body but also the effect of that experimental cocktail that has the administer to him this is a basically an unscheduled unforeseen situation where you have the president suffering from the impact of the virus but at the same time being the subject of dissent. Truly an experimental cocktail which we have no information yet about with anybody outside the Clinical Trials the final stage Clinical Trials. Being tested at this particular point yeah a lot of questions that need to be answered my do we know when and if the media and the American Public will be getting regular updates about the president s condition. Well at this stage as i said we simply do not know that and you make a very strong point that the American Public obviously need to keep fully briefed about it i must mention too as well that various sources of congress say they have not been briefed on the situation as it is they would not sleep before the president was taken to hospital which is a somewhat unusual situation more than we expected at least senior members of congress to have been briefed by the white house the fact that hes in an imminent basis of going to the hospital now this is constitutional reasons as well because should the treatment require the president to be incapacitated attend such some time should he be into baby food should he be put on the ventilator then of course he is incapacitated the 25th amendment need to kick in in which d mike pence the Vice President would take over. 1 the president while the president was in capacitated carrying out his functions so all of these very important points and to get that to a question there has been no indication yet as to how information is going to the American Public and importantly from which body the information is going to come is it going to come from the white house stop or is it going to come from the Hospital Administration directly preaching the president at this particular stage you will get to these questions in the coming yeah ok mike well let you go for now and well also be speaking to our guest soon on aljazeera about that issue you raise the transfer of power a very important issue mike hanna thank you very much for the time being for giving us that update from just outside the walter reed Medical Center lets now cross over to alan fischer because allan is joining us from the white house so. What what are trumps timor trumps people saying about why they moved him to walter reed if he just has a mild fever why not keep him at the white house. Well its been a remarkable year its been a remarkable 4 years its been a remarkable day in those remarkable 4 years. Donald trump says to a very high quality medical unit right here at the white house but clearly there was some concern and weve just been remarkable 24 hours just a little and. Obviously after he was diagnosed with cope with the doctors what aware of the treatment he might need to be monitoring his situation at the gate from the cold killa drugs that mike has been talking about. There is all beazley it can sound that as he displayed a low grade fever that if he needed any more argent treatment then he would not be able to get all that he needed from the medical unit here at the white house so the decision was taken out of an abundance of caution and that is a phrase you will hear a lot over the next couple of hours that it was decided to move the president to walter reed where as there are not just top class medical facilities but a top Class Medical Team on standby ready to do whatever was necessary it was going to be important the president made his way to the helicopter its not unusual for president s to make the journey to bethesda by helicopter and clearly he was fit enough to walk to the helicopter stored in to the hospital that was also a political message that was the president saying look i may have covered but i am strong and that is why he issued that twitter message as well just to reassure supporters around the country that he was feeling ok even if he does have covered it we should just go back and retrace the steps of the last 24 hours its just over 24 hours 1 ago and that he was told that one of his closest aides hope pick whos always in his orbit had tested positive for. Covered the president then went to a fundraiser at his new jersey golf course he then traveled back he said and had given an interview to one of the t. V. Channels here in the United States that he was going to have a covert test just before midnight he got the test and tweeted out it just for want to quote rather and tweeted that he tested positive that was confirmed by the white house he was then what came from the residence the building you see behind me that is the residence there that is to my left the west wing where the oval office is continued to self isolate there with the 1st lady he was in contact with senior staff by telephone because obviously pass messages to them but clearly throughout the day there was a can stand from the doctors that perhaps they needed extra backup extra precautions and that is why they took the decision to transport them to walter reed no youve got to remember back in march the president went to walter reed it was a very hurried meeting a very hurried journey he traveled by car. There was no real explanation given for the 1st few hours and then we were told it was the 1st part of his annual medical and he would take the 2nd part really soon afterwards we never got round to that 2nd part of the medical and there was a rumor that circulated that the president had suffered a mini stroke something that he himself went public with and then dismissed what was interesting is that as he walked to the helicopter he was a mask senior staff from the white house had gone out to see him take that journey to the helicopter were also waiting a mask not something weve seen a great deal of here over the last 6 months now allan and specifically on that point of Wearing Masks i mean some American Media are now reporting that all staffers are now mandated to wear masks in common area like you saying this was not implemented previously. I know that they made a recommendation that people should wear masks but it was really being left to their or in. National stand some whether or not they would wear a mask some dates some didnt but certainly today weve seen a lot more Wearing Masks i think its also important to talk about joe biden he shared the debate stage with donald trump on tuesday there was a can sound for him not least because the Biden Campaign only find out about the president s positive test when it was released to the media after 1 oclock in the morning here on friday joe biden testified he said 2 tests on friday he is testing negative he has been back on the campaign trail he made the point that this is not the time to score political points it was much more important that this was treated as a nonpartisan issue and he sent his best wishes forced of all in a tweet to donald trump and then when he was at the Campaign Rally he will continue to campaign what weve been told is that the Biden Campaign also pulling all negative ads off the airwaves here in the United States while the president is in hospital there making sure that the only ads the run are those that boost joe biden not those which attack donald trump. All right allan thank you very much well leave you for the time being allan reporting from just outside the white house now lets take a closer look at the president s health and trampas 74 years old and he is considered overweight both make him high risk for the coronavirus questions were raised about his condition back 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 at the time and in the last year trump made an unscheduled visit to the doctor for a test something thats usually noted in his public diary the white house said he was in good health and during his campaign in 2016 trump produced a note saying hed be the healthiest individual ever elected to the presidency a doctor later said trump had written the letter and self thats been to dr amish hes a senior scholar Johns Hopkins center for Health Security hes joining us from pittsburgh thanks for your time just weigh in on whats happened over the last couple of hours i think this is an unfortunate turn of events but it is something that we predicted would likely happen on this virus does not respect borders it doesnt respect whether or not you are a world leader and the testing policies at the white house were never going to be enough because weve seen costers of cases at the white house even before this current culture thats happened the president is somebody that is at high risk for severe complications so its not surprising that he did experimental therapy as well as been hospitalized preemptively but why do you think the situation has changed quite quickly in the sense that the white house announced that he had said he had mild symptoms and now hes being needed to transfer to the hospital in fact hes now arrived at walter reed. Its not surprising that a 74 year old would have an acceleration of symptoms that would prompt hospitalization especially when you have the access to health care that the president does so if you are having a fever if youre starting to feel more fatigued there is going to be people that youre on the side of caution and hospitalized and individual if they have that option so thats likely what set play here and any time a 74 year old has code that we have to have a low threshold for using hospital resources. Or raising the point of the experimental treatment just a moments ago so the president s a physician has said that trump received a dose of an experimental antibody cough tale thats in Clinical Trials hasnt been authorized yet what does this all say to you and what do you know about this drug. Well the drug is a its a cocktail of antibodies made by the company regenerative and weve seen some very promising data that this may be something that helps individuals not have a severe course of illness and theyve been using it in out patients in a Clinical Trial so to me its something that i think was a little bit quick a quick thing to grab off of the shelf to help the president because it was something that had some data and it was available on compassionate use we dont know exactly how well this is going to work were still doing Clinical Trials and its important for those Clinical Trials to continue but its not surprising to me again that you see the president get this type of therapy because they are thinking about using this more broadly if Clinical Trial support it to keep people out of the hospital so would you say that there is enough information about the struggle for it still in Clinical Trials. No we dont have full information about this however it was it was a vailable on compassionate release were doing the trial right now i think well get more data the data that we have so far is promising obviously this is something that the president had to consent to have we give somebody a drug on compassionate use they have to go through a consent process to know what the benefit is what the risk might be and where the data actually lies but we do give compassionate use drugs to people occasionally in situations like this and again because it is the president i think that there were no no nothing was off the table their physician also said that the president has been given vitamin d. And zinc amongst other vitamins what else could he be receiving well once he gets into the hospital well see if he gets the drugs like severe which is an antiviral thats available on emergency use authorization it does not appear that hes sick enough to require a drug like dex or methadone we usually reserve that to people who are requiring supplemental oxygen and a videos of the president do not show him showing any signs of shortness of breath or needing supplemental oxygen what are the long term paths of recovering when you look at the broader picture and someone in the president s age group and someone who has has sort of Health Characteristics its hard to say because some people in that age group do recover pretty quickly but there are some that have lingering symptoms and take some time to get back to their full level of activities it all depends upon what happens in the next week or so to see how severe the symptoms get for the president and if any of the therapies have an effect but i do think that there is going to be a Recovery Period its going to probably be at least a week or 2 that you will see him be unable to really return to a same level of activity but hopefully we wont see any kind of severe complications or requiring an i. C. U. For example or anything like that dr m. S. We thank you for speaking to us on our genes there are good to get your thoughts thank you. Now the democratic president ial nominee joe biden is campaigning in the swing state of michigan and he says that trumps infection is a reminder of how serious the pandemic is. Like you stuart knology which im sure all you do is well show you my pray
