S. Attorney general william barr is self isolating despite this thing negative for the virus 4 times since friday he attended a potential super spreader event had the white house last week lets go live now to our White House Correspondent Kimberly Halkett who is outside the walter reed Military Hospital in bethesda which is of course where the president is for now but not for much longer kimberly we are expecting him to leave in about an hour and a half from now this is a president that has also always tried to i guess either use events as a t. V. Appearances perhaps hour we expecting him to leave the hospital. Well we expect but i can tell you definitely what the president will be doing is likely departing the same way he arrives via air force or rather marine one which is his helicopter but no official confirmation of that but certainly this would be something that would allow for a higher level of security than weaving through the streets of washington d. C. Which is what would be necessary now in preparation for that whether it be a motorcade or whether it be by air you can see behind me that the crowd of supporters is quite close thats because theyve been pushed back the perimeter is been pushed back to give the necessary space for that motorcade or air lift that is scheduled to take place in about 90 minutes time now the u. S. President has continued to tweet in fact he did tweet about the stock market and highs of the closing of the business day here in the United States in just the last hour or so this is a president that is trying to project the despite cope with 1000. 00 at a positive diagnosis that at for at least very briefly cost him to have a spike in fever of up to 103 degrees farenheit required oxygen very briefly that he believes he is back in the words of his physician dr sean conley and now the president set to resume work out the white house he did that continue his official duties from a president ial suite at Walter Reed Medical Center behind me but now he is going to go and continue to recuperate at the white house where there is a fully outfitted medical office staff 24 hours a day by nurses as well as doctors now in terms of the president his prognosis we know because of his Underlying Health conditions his advanced age that he still is at risk in fact his physician acknowledging that hes not out of the woods if you will in terms of danger and till at least monday that means that he will need to continue to recover even as he wishes to campaign were now. 29 days until the u. S. Election of november 3rd the president will be able to do that now the other thing that isnt clear is exactly when the president tested negative and when he tested positive that is something that is still somewhat of a mystery as is also the damage to the president s organs from his infection the white house physician was not forthcoming when it came to the president s lung scans and whether or not there was any scarring so still a lot of mystery about the president s treatment here some of it is protected by patient confidentiality but some of it just simply hasnt been forthcoming this white house has been sketchy with the details at times trying to project something very positive in terms of the president s situation only for us to find later that the president had a few brushes with a dire situation where he required oxygen and he required some attentiveness so that doesnt appear to be the case now but again he will require monitoring for at least another week and kimberly the coronavirus who is always going to be the key issue all of this Election Campaign really how do you think thats likely to change the campaign obviously don trump may not be beyond the campaign trail for at least another week but when it comes to the way that the themes are tackled them thinking of some of the tweets that he has published for example saying dont be afraid of kovac how do you think hes got to handle the covert issue in the next few weeks. Were getting a sense of it from that tweet that youre referencing by the president where he said dont be afraid of coven dont let it dominate your life well for many people that is simply not an option they have to go to work they have to be at risk particular if theyre front line essential workers and they may not always have the same access to health care or quality of health care as the president so it will dominate some of the fears and also for many families who have experienced death of a loved one in the case of more than 200000 americans that will dominate their thoughts and their lives so the president may gets a push back for that but how do you see the shaping up in terms of talking points for this campaign is that this president is spinning this as something that he confronted head long head on that he took on the challenge of covert 19 so far has been able to defeat it or at least conquer it least temporarily again he is not in the clear just yet but its going to try and use this is a contrast to his running a rather his rival joe biden the democratic president ial nominee who the president has been quite forthcoming in criticizing saying that he is hiding in his basement that he is overly cautious scaling back his Campaign Schedule something we didnt see from the president and perhaps he paid the price for it its unclear at this time but certainly this is how were seeing the president characterize this as he what he has from the beginning he tries to project strength even as there is obviously some fallibility of this president hes more like the rest of us he was not able to fully continue to operate with cope with 19 and that is something that was displayed to the American People so well see how this plays out again election day 29 days away and this president certainly trying to draw a contrast even with this illness against his rival joe biden came from the house with the latest kimberly for the moment thank you. Well trump and members of his staff are just a handful of the 7400000 americans have tested positive since the pandemic has begun the more than 2000 people also reported to have died in the u. S. Just since trumps diagnosis and nearly 150000 cases have been confirmed in that time at least 21 states are now reporting a rise in coven 1000 cases thats according to Johns Hopkins University Schools in new yorks hot spot neighborhoods will be closed from tuesday as the state tries to get ahead of the quickening spread. Well were now joined by one person who has been impacted directly of course by the coronavirus thats kristin or kissa her father was a crime supporter who died from the corona virus in june and she spoke about him at the Democratic Convention she joins us via skype from San Francisco a Kristin Kreuk is a thank you so much for joining us here on aljazeera so when you see Donald Trumps tweet where he says dont let coronavirus dominate your life how does that make you feel what do you make of a message like that from the president it is a slap in the face to the more than 210000 families who have lost someone to cope and quite frankly it is criminal and dangerous because its creating the conditions for this pandemic to thrive tell us a little bit more about your father he was a trump supporter how big a part of that the president s words actions or lack of actions play in the way that your father dealt with the coronavirus and perhaps at a note the way you acted using master social distancing for example. In the beginning my dad believed that the current virus was really all he gladly were a mask practiced physical distancing but once in april and may when the president started saying that we were on the other side of the pandemic and that if you didnt have an Underlying Health condition it was safe to be out there my dad listened to him and when the state of reality of arizona reopened when the governor said that it was safe to resume normal activities my dad thought it was safe and so what would you like President Trump who has contracted the coronavirus himself out of messages would you like to see perhaps come from him because he is saying you know the doctors are saying hes not out of the woods but he is going home its not a normal home hell have medical treatment at the white house of course but what what messages would you like to see come from him now i mean the president needs to do his fundamental job which is take care of the Public Health of the American People he can do that by not downplaying the virus and not continuing to spread lies about how dangerous this says there was a recent study from cornell that came out that said over a 3rd of the misinformation around coded in the United States can be linked to one person and that person is donald trump. Looking at your twitter profile obviously you talk about your father and also you say yourself youre trying to start a movement how many other people have you been in touch with or have reached out to you who have found themselves in a similar situation or not just losing a loved one to cove it but i suppose a blaming the the president of the political structure that effectively told them that the danger wasnt as high as they lot of soul. The organization that ive launched mark baker has found an overwhelming amount of supporters who feel exactly like we whether or not theyre of loss of loved one or are survivors they see that the president and the Republican Party and more or less is basically spreading misinformation and creating the conditions for this virus to thrive and cost needless preventable death. When your father got sick did you get the sense that perhaps he felt betrayed by the kind of advice that hed been given or do you get the sense that other people in the us right now where you are are also realizing that the advice that theyve had from the highest office was actually perhaps not the best one they could have had one of the conversations or last conversations i had with my dad right before he went into the hospital was about this very topic he and i we didnt agree on politics ever but we always talked politics and one of the last things he said to me was that he felt sites wiped and i followed up and said do you does that mean you felt betrayed and there was a long process which for my dad is rare and he said yes i feel betrayed. Kristen or quis or thank you so much for having joined us and also for sharing your you know painful memories of your father cristo thank you so much thank you. Now democratic president ial nominee joe biden has called on donald trump to make the wearing of masks man the tree across the usa the nations Coronavirus Crisis is far from over the former Vice President made the comments during a Campaign Event in miamis Little Havana where he was also the sky Economic Growth for the hispanic community. Experts say universal maskey could save between now and january a 100000 lives they say that again between now and january. Mandatory masking could save 800000 lives. You know i backed that mandate months ago he should back it now. Since a president at the hospital on friday. More than 100000 since friday where the 100000 more people have been diagnosed with coburn. And this week at least 5000 more will die. Cases and thus are climbing to many states. I hope the president s recovery swift is successful but our nations covert crisis is far far from over. More now about this with and the gallagher who joins us from miami where of course joe biden was speaking how do we think i mean base the specially on what we just heard from the president ial nominee how do we think that the fact that the her top was hospitalized with cove it is actually going to impact bidens campaign. Well i think what were seeing from the former Vice President is a very deliberate strategy he could quite easily point out the fact that the president mocked him for wearing a mask about 1st president ial debate he could mocking about all sorts of things but what the pope former Vice President joe biden is doing is talking about science talking about a mask mandate the number of lives that could potentially save between now and january nothing thats an important strategy of course joe and joe biden have both wished the president the very best in a speedy recovery but hes very much now focused on telling voters that he is the science based candidate for the presidency so what hes saying is if i win in november there will be a mosque monday we will tackle this corona virus which of course is far from over were seeing in certain states now cases rising once again even in new york city which at one time was the epicenter so it is a deliberate strategy i think from joe biden that he is talking about science science should be the Guiding Light in all of this and i think we will see that Going Forward and also incidentally joe biden is saying that he will debate with the president here in miami on october the 15th if the doctors say the president is good and ready and there are no health risks thats the kind of thing i think we will hear from joe biden Going Forward just as in that 1st debate he didnt really interface with the president he looked to the camera and address the American People and i think thats very much what hes doing right now and then you mentioned that debate florida of course always has been a key state whats it looking like there for example when it comes to. The sort of the campaign between biden drum. Well i mean joe biden today is very deliberately as he was when he came last month talking to latino and hispanic voters because hes not doing so well with them there is a good reason for that not is that President Trump has been pushing this idea that joe biden is a socialist something that scares a lot of latino and hispanic voters who have come here from Different Countries like venezuela and guatemala and honduras except where the list goes on so what hes trying to do is convince those voters in a very important battleground swing state that he is more of a moderate candidate and that he wont go too far to the left because that is their basic fear remember there are a 1000000 cuban americans in miami alone they call it the 2nd largest city of cuba and most of those people according to the latest polls are donald Trump Supporters so hes trying to swing those back in his direction while at the same time obviously talking about how he would tackle this Global Pandemic and the galley go with the latest there from miami andy thank you ok lets talk more about the president s health now with dr eric feigele deng on the e. P. The neurologist and senior fellow at the federation of american scientists sir thank you so much for joining us again here on aljazeera so we have a picture painted for a spy the medical team who spoke about an hour and a half ago saying the president had had a fever in about 72 hours as oxygen levels were normal the years on a rendez of years going to get the 5th dose on tuesday i appreciate you dont have access to his exact medical records but but what do you make of his condition right now. Well i think its condition is still very uncertain because there is a seesaw effect this virus can be healthy makes you see healthy to
