Not to fulfill his duties that there is not a change in command triggered off now into who would replace him that would be if the president can fulfill his duties the the Vice President mike pence he has also tested and he tested negative so has his wife so again the white house saying the president is doing ok he is positive but that is basically it and now they are taking all the precautions in terms of testing others. And doing the very very essential Contact Tracing and with this everything is as of now in good ways or in calm waters so to speak now americans have had to several hours to digest this news of president and his wife testing positive for corona virus how are they reacting what have you been hearing. Well the 1st reaction was very very sure a surprise people on the streets are surprised and then on the other hand im not really surprised i would not say that there is any fear in terms of how will this impact the government this is a doomsday scenario just because the president tested positive people are used to the fact that for example look at brazil president both so narrow they have been positive and brazil menage this the United States will be and the administration will be able to manage this through and i think this is reflected in peoples opinion now how has political washington reacted of course 1st of all the Biden Campaign as well as democratic president ial candidate joe biden and his wife extended their well wishes for the president and said they would pray for the president and the family and for anybody who is impacted. Now in the administration and affected by the coronavirus and so it goes through the political rings right and left of the. Barometer so to speak like democrats as well as republicans all on the same page there wishing the president fast and speedy recovery and. That the government obviously is working and hes able to work still as the president and that is basically the baseline of reactions here as of now as of now but the fact of the matter is if this is going to up and campaigning for the u. S. Election isnt it. Yeah this definitely has an impact on the campaign the president as you know as we all know likes rallies and didnt. Didnt stop rallies in the last few weeks and was criticized for this a lot pecking halls with lots of lots of people most of them not wearing any masks not keeping to social distancing and the president now as a covert 19 patients so to speak will not be able to hold any rallies any fundraisers any of that it is interesting and it will be interesting to see what impact really this has in terms of Public Opinion and for the voters for his clientele for his followers what they will think now about him downplaying covert 1000. 00 over a month a month we have we have reported on this over and over again the president did not. Suggest to the public to take over 9000 specifically serious now hes infected himself and he has to take it serious so yes this has definitely and will have some psychological or really boots on the ground real life impact for the campaign of donald trump for sure did have the washington correspondent and stefan seamounts thank you for your reporting. And the announcement that the leader of the worlds biggest economy has contracted covert 19. 00 cost Financial Markets to Shutter Court it is our finance reporter in new york yes this is the type of news that does not go down well on wall street. No it really i mean it adds to the uncertainty and uncertainty is always something that wall street to definitively does not like the big question is so now that the 1st lady and the president of the United States being tested positive what does that mean for example for the behavior of the American Population will they travel less will they go all dining less will they go less to hotels and those are the areas where we see the biggest stock to clients here on friday but it is to me at least surprising that the losses are limited so initially jones industrial average plunged by about 450. 00 points now we are down even less than one percent and so yes it does that mean that were just looking at that this is looking like a blip or could we actually see sustained movement on the markets in response to this news. Well i mean it clearly depends on how the story develops i mean what weve just heard we have to probably wait a couple of days to see how the president is some actually doing so and we should also forget even as dramatic as this news flow is its not the only topic in minds of investors on wall street theres also this struggle about a new age bill. Picketts that is also highly important for the u. S. Economy and Financial Markets so theres so many moving parts so its really tough to tell at this point how everything develops in the Financial Markets i so many variables said that you outlined there now in conclusion i just want to ask you know the u. S. Economy as youve been reporting has been starting to show us some green shoots we certainly after the kobe downturn that this hurts any possible recovery that was underway. Well its also difficult to say what we have not really talked about right now is that we also got the last months of the job report today before the president ial election and actually it came in weaker than expected 600 think the a 1000 new jobs in september not bad but much worse than by far not as good as the expected 800000 jobs that economists were expecting but so far that the some of the most important thing for the economy at this point clearly would be the 8 picketts weve talked about it this week outlines of a sending tens of thousands of people into for a while disney actually cutting 28000 to jobs so that really shows that we are at a pretty Crucial Point was the u. S. Economy and im not certain if thats really going to change because the president has been tested positive. Courts are reporting at from new york thank you so very much. And a polish. For the connection there but we thought it was really important to hear what us was reporting now President Trump has long been dismissive of the corona virus and the precautions his own experts have recommended heres how hes reacted to the greatest Public Health challenge in decades from initial optimism in february looks like by april you know in theory when it gets a little warmer it miraculously goes away i hope thats true of state to a number up to about face in march that specific case today i am officially declaring a National Emergency us President Donald Trump has gone to extremes in his Public Attitude toward the coronavirus hes always saw a Silver Lining even as the death toll skyrocketed america will again and soon be open for business very soon we cannot let the cure be worse than the problem itself were not going to let the cure be worse than the problem in the start seeing some real late at the end of the tunnel but this is going to be a very painful. Very very painful 2 weeks that trump soon turned a medical problem into a political issue forcing the public to choose between him and the experts when government scientists recommended Wearing Masks he scoffed at the idea is that where we were in myself its a recommendation they recommended. I dont see it for myself i just i just maybe ill change my mind he didnt change his mind but as the pandemic refused to go away miraculously he mused in public about rather unorthodox treatments supposing we hit somebody with a tremendous whether its ultraviolet or just a very powerful light when i said supposing it were the later you can which you can do either through the skin or. In some other way right in that i see the disinfectant but not in a minute. By june as testing ramped up along with case numbers he seemed exasperated if you dont test you dont have any cases that we stepped right now would have very few cases if any. And he started marking the virus making racist jokes and blaming the pandemic on china. Its a disease without question has more names than any disease in history. I can name. Comes lou i can name. I 90 different versions of this. With the election looming he doubled down on mocking masks even during the president ial debate i dont have i dont wear mess like him every time you see hes got a mask he could be speaking 200 feet away from him he shows up with the biggest mask ive ever seen that attitude held up until the last minute at this rally in minnesota on wednesday trump threw souvenirs barehanded into a packed audience where few wore masks it remains to be seen how seriously trumps diehard supporters will now take the virus that has put their hero into korean t. V. And id like to welcome now dr york alberta for more on the president s diagnosis hes a head doctor extra guards robert hospital a very good day doctor you treat corner virus patients what was your reaction when you heard the news that the president of the United States contracted to cope at 190 i was. A little bit surprised at 1st of course but maybe not so much some instances later because i think mr trump maybe was not one to take cover at 19 too seriously. Maybe he was not that much careful in his approach to the disease now its being said the president of the trump is suffering only mild symptoms right now and that hell be able to carry out his duty as president of the United States without disruptions is that normal in your experience for a patient who has just to test it positive. Yes unfortunately most of the patients dont get c. P. S. Sometimes but you may not predict the cost of the 2 cs right now in the beginning so there are symptoms like the like symptoms that might be occurring maybe a kind of folk dry cough or. Taste tiredness saw throat but these are the typical symptoms in the beginning and the cause of the d. C. Is. To be seen. Now i presume that you must have treated patients that share present profile his age and for instance his weight what has been your experience in treating patients like him generally speaking there is an increased risk in. Patients so. The other risk factors for a c b a the cost of the disease comorbidities like diabetes or hypertension or most of your. Other diseases. At least the age is one risk quick to share mr trump with. Other patients who get a more severe course of the disease but. Most of the patients get a less severe course of the decease of course and the doctor of course the president isnt like anybody else so he gets tested quite frequently i wonder what does that tell us about the testing and his entourage is also being to say that he still managed to get infected. Now that doesnt prevent to get infected is prevention as with. Care keeping your distance prevention can be a help with. Using mosques and the most crucial to prevent. The disease in its spreading through the population so the testing itself is not preventing that is to use i think dr albert from the Robert Bhatia hospital and start got dr thank you for watching and thank you. Meanwhile u. S. Secretary of state mike pompei of says he has tested negative for the virus pompei 0 has left rome after a 3 day visit telling reporters traveling with him to croatia that he was quote feeling fantastic obvious as he last met trump at the white house more than 2 weeks ago. Were praying for the president and the 1st lady of the taliban a speedy recovery im sorry i speak up a little bit has a hell of a speedy recovery i must go to the Vice President s office this morning as well were taking this obviously very seriously and will do everything we can to keep everyone safe including you all your happy result here you know if you think you know negative yes 720 minutes ago 30 minutes ago.
