Higher as well 20 points higher the nasdaq up about 100 points higher meanwhile, President Trump remaining at Walter Reed Medical Center entering his third day of treatment. He left to greet supporters from a distance inside his suv. White House Doctors say the president could return to the white house as early as today. Although others questioning conflicting comments around his health over the weekend. And all of this. Moment by moment throughout the weekend. He joins us this morning whats the latest. Good morning, andrew, we did not get a lot of clarity over the weekend. But meanwhile not providing Key Information here including when the president s last negative test was before thursday the White House Press secretary was asked about that yesterday heres what she said again, not giving a detailed read out of testing but safe to say the first positive test was upon return or at least after. The white house also initially suggested that it would provide numbers or details around how many white housed as contracted the coronavirus now though, the white house is no longer going to do that citing privacy concerns. So no information from the white house on an aggregated basis about how manied y aids contrac it at this point starting with thursday when the president said he was tested and awaiting results we do now know that the time line, the president had an initial positive test before he appeared thursday night before waiting for results. The president already knew at that point, according to the white house time line that he had at least one test z positive on an initial test on friday we saw the president tweeting at 12 54 a. M. That he tested positive. That was thursday night into friday morning meadows, the chief of staff, telling reporters that the president tweeted the result as soon as he got them. A white house doctor said they were 72 hours into the diagnosis and then later issued a clarification saying the president was, in fact, first diagnosed on october 1st theres some confusion over whether or not the president received oxygen on friday. The White House Medical Team ultimately admitting that the president did receive oxygen on friday after initially trying to dance around that subject. So some confusion around the president s Overall Health here and wait and see if they can, in fact, send him back to the white house later today. Go ahead. I just wanted to ask real quick, i apologize, its a work place issue inside of the white house in terms of memos and notes going out to others being told about who has it, who doesnt and how that works how is that working . Because we learned i think that notes were just sent out for the first time late yesterday. Thats right. Were familiar with whats going on inside of the compound now. Virtually no guidance once this began as to what they should do and where they should go and that squares with the white house that through the entire course of the summer it was really not engaging in protective measures to any great degree people inside of the white house where the cop finfines are real cramped. Theres a lot of people piled in there. They were just not Wearing Masks. Not social distancing. There was testing early on but even for the reporters who go into the compound they back that off during the course of the summer he writes in his newest oped about the trump Coronavirus Spread that it might be avoided. They arent victims of bad luck. Well get to that in a second but what do you know about the current state in your view because we have seen so many anectdotal stories about people saying i feel great and only to find out that the second week is when some of the really serious symptoms rise. Is it possible that thats what were seeing in terms of the president . We have heard he says i feel like i could walk out of here. Theres speculation that he might go back to the white house today, but knowing what we know, does that make sense did he get early enough intervention with some of that stuff . To where he may not experience that whats not a favorable outcome that we see . Well, we hope so. He is a moderate patient theres suggestions that he has pneumonia or some kind of inflammatory change on his ct scan its consistent with what you would xpect. And hopefully it will be in this case it is the case to the initial question that patients that do well this first week tend not to have that sort of second week that inflammatory reaction but there are exceptions there are patients that dont have a very serious course of the infection in that First Response phase that first week of the illness and theyll go on to have the post viral inflammatory phase that were worried about he hasnt had a very severe illness this week, does have a bad second week is lower i think, you know, we heard about friday and supplemental oxygen i read in different places that maybe there was a drop in oxygen levels on saturday as well which is closer. Also, as you said, they didnt say that it was normal they said it was what you might expect but they didnt say normal which means maybe it could be some more what about the dextamethazone. Thats not usually used. Its something in advance of things happening or what does that indicate as to whether theres some type of the more serious conditions that we have seen when steroids are called for. Yeah. So its consistent with he is sort of in that moderate category he has low o2 stat and he has inflammatory changes on his lungs. It would be indicated in that setting. So its indicated for hospitalized patients that are requiring oxygen so he might meet criteria based on that alone and the threshold for using it might be a little bit lower because the reason you dont use it, you want to give it to patients when theyre having that inflammatory response but you dont want to give it to them when theyre still fighting the virus theyre in that direct viral fighting phase of their response because they themselves could perhaps deminutish tish it and w youre having post viral inflammatory changes but given the fact that they introduce it early, and given the fact that they introduced the antibody early which will also act directly on the virus, they might have been a little bit more confident at pushing the steroids earlier because they dont need his immune system to do all the work fighting the virus because they have given him a lot of medicines that are going to do some of the work for them. Melissa these three treatments at the same time. Its a five day course typically. At the midpoint of this course of treatment and at the same time, hes getting it and its indicated and use it now and does it have less of an impact later on if he truly needs it, its truly on supplemental oxygen and has the inflammatory response if youre still mounting that immune response to the virus then by introducing steroids early you could inhibit the immune response. The steroids could suppress the ability. But given the fact that the treatments are going to directly target the virus, you could push it earlier that may be what they were thinking in terms of the drugs themselves, theres no reason to believe it would be there and we havent used them in combination but i dont think there isnt anything done here that looks risky. They gave the available therapy they had and were able to obtain that should be effective in helping him fight this infection. Go back to your article and think a little bit about it and not to say that the episode is over but so many people around the country are rooting for the president and also i think are starting to assume that he will get better the question is, what the American Public is going to think of covid when this episode is all over based a little bit on what you were writing which is to say that clearly mistakes were made but as he does get better and get better rapidly, it appears quickly, now theyre throwing every drug that they possibly at him. I dont know if all of those drugs are tichypically available most of the drugs are typically not available. At least some of them arent available to the public. How do you think the public is going to think about the dangers of this virus as a result of this situation well, i think its going to reinforce the dangers of the virus and reinforce the fact that people are at risk of contracting it they were taking steps to protect the president. Quite frankly i dont think they took enough steps to protect the president. I think theres a lot more that the white house staff could have done they had a system in place where they were basically depending on keeping the president safe because they werent taking adequate measures inside of the white house compound and so if they were relying on testing alone to keep the virus out of the west wing and out of the white house compound, they needed a zero fail testing machine. They didnt have it. It was told to people in the white house that there were problems with the way they were using testing as a toll to try to prevent virus from getting into the compound and in and around the president they didnt step that up they need to rethink the protocols around the president im pretty certain the president didnt want to get infected. He was not taking risks. And that was some peoples perceptions. He didnt want to get covid and thought he was being protected based on the testing that was being placed around him. Scott, there are questions about whether there were decisions made that were reckless by the white house over the past 72 if not more hours including the decision to go and to have that photo op yesterday where he drove in that car filled with other secret Service Agents who while Wearing Masks by default put themselves at risk how do you think about that and the message it sends i wouldnt have wanted a patient currently under my care and is in a serious condition to, you know, go outside of the hospital i dont know what went on between the president and his advisers around that episode yesterday. We assume the president is the one calling all the shots. I highly doubt he knew all the details around what was unfolding around hope hicks illness and the medical guidance and when he should get tested and when he should quarantine. These arent things that he would know unless hes being advised. So if we want to get to the bottom of how the decisions got made, we need to figure out who made these decisions this probably isnt the time to do that. Im not sure that theres direct relevance by trying to get him through and trying to get the nation through covid because were seeing resurgence all around the country right now we saw a rally overnight in asia investors are assuming the worst is behind the president. That his condition is improving. Do we have enough information to actually make that conclusion at this point i think well know by the end of the week certainly if the president is truly out of the woods and maybe by midweek he does seem to be improving or not getting worse and they said at the outset, in response to the question, if you do well in the first week theres a better chance that youre going to do well in the second week. I talked to a lot of doctors that care for Covid Patients and they talk about older patients and the president is an older patient that will be doing well and still have that post viral inflammatory response. Its predictive that he is likely to remain on a good curve as well. By the end of the week well have a very clear indication of where he is. Scott are you concerned at all about a backlash against testing as a result of how am i going to make this work. I wonder if it may very well be. I dont think so. They werent really using effective testing at the white house. They were relying on the testt try to screen people that Railroad Going to be around the president. They use testing as one piece of an overall approach to try to keep people safe so they still require distancing and masking. I think testing used as a layered response to try to keep covid out of the Work Environment especially when people can socially distance can be very effective but you cannot say that its going to be 100 effective unless you change the testing protocol so unless you require two tests. So maybe you require a test before people get to the white house compound and then you test them again it would have been a good test we have talked about that many times in this show about the fact that the white house should have been using it given the way they were deploying testing. They needed a more reliable device so there would be ways to use testing to get closer to a zero fail system and theres a lot of ways as part of a layered response. So if the president were to go back to the white house but theyre at risk and thats unfortunate. At the white house they have n95 masks and ppe im not really sure but, i mean, thats what they do. They would someone would have to drive them, right i dont know whether its a photo op is necessary but thats what these guys do theyd have to drive them back today. Do you think its likely he goes back there today i cant imagine. Do you i dont know. I have no insight. Its possible he can go back to the white house because the white house at the top, they have a lot of medical care they can deliver. They wouldnt bring him back to the white house. Or i would counsel him not to bring him back to the white house if theres any risk that he would bounce back to the hospital you wouldnt want to have to bring hm baim back to the white house and then bump him back to the hospital as far as people around the president , they can protect themselves theyre exposed to covid all the time in Emergency Departments and other areas. They wear proper protective equipment and theyre trained on how to use it. Its possible for people around the president to protect themselves and they need to be doing that and people around other principles now that may be at risk of contracting covid because of exposure, there might have been two introductions, they also need to be given proper protective equipment and be able to protect themselves if those principles arent going to be quarantined. Well see you again today hopefully and we have the regeneron ceo. So may have some questions yeah well see you in awhile.
