As President Trumps a press secretary becomes the latest style high level republican to test positive for corona virus the president himself is going back to the white house despite this he is still infectious and isolating as is his Campaign Manager so with less than a month to election day whos actually running the campaign im still go in then and this is the day. Where he may not entirely be able woods yet the team and i agree that all are a valuation and most importantly his clinical studies support the president s safe return we all remain cautiously optimistic. And on guard we have worked very closely with the walter reed team to ensure that we are looking very closely at Infection ControlPrevention Strategies and the right posture so that the president can safely return to his residence we try to get patients home to the hospital. As quickly as you say anything reasonable every day a patient stays in the hospital unnecessarily is a risk to themselves he has never once pushed to do anything that was beyond safe and reasonable practice that we all 1st of. All so on the day by Opposition Leader took on a sky out visits germinates of meat with chants of im going to makeover what is she looking for a bird led to broker talks with alexander lukashenko. Now we need. Help in mediation negotiations with authorities and rethink that. And that is it is going to be extremely helpful in this situation. Welcome to the day President Trump has heading home to the white house the doctors say he is fit to do so although they also say hes not out of the woods and needs to be closely monitored despite still being infectious the president tweeted that he feels better than he has done for 20 years and urge people not to be afraid of a coronavirus he was helicoptered into the Walter Reed Medical Center in maryland 3 days ago after testing positive and showing symptoms of covered 19 doctors explained why theyre so confident that he could be discharged. We sent patients home with medications all the time. In fact yesterday afternoon you probably met most of his discharge requirements safely from the hospital and hes returning to the facility the white house medical unit and staff 247 top notch physicians nurses p. A. s logisticians and the unit here the team here behind me is going to continue to support us in that nature we all remain cautiously optimistic and on guard because were in a bit of uncharted territory when it comes to a patient that received the therapy she has so early in the course so were looking to this weekend if we can get through to monday with him remaining the same or improving better yet then we will all take that final deep sigh of relief. But as i said 247 world class medical care surrounding him down there were not going to miss anything that we were caught of here all right lets catch up with a Senate Without shockley now alabama who writes for the Washington Post and has that power up newsletter welcome to you this has all the makings of a truck miracle hes out of hospital we dont know quite how ill he is but apparently fit enough to return to the white house is expected to go back to work. Thats exactly what his doctor dr connelly said although he declined to answer several pretty important questions again during this press conference the 3rd of the press conferences that hes held where hes declined to disclose Important Information such as the status of the president s lums just how many times he is needed and to be administered oxygen but as you just saw he gave a pretty sunny review of how the president s doing and says that hes going to be taking care of the best doctors in the world hes currently under on several say several therapeutics and returning to the white house tonight youve mentioned what a weird thing about this the president of the United States in hospital but the doctors have been surprisingly vague about whats wrong with him theyve talked to but hes gone from having mild symptoms to needing oxygen to being treated with that some methods which is no movies of the serious cases to now being released while still sick does this matter to people that. You know it should matter to people there is a long well documented history of president s being really private and you know shrouding their the status of their Health Conditions with secrecy but that being said this is a matter of Public Knowledge this is something that they should be communicating to the public and keeping americans up to iran and being fully transparent specially as were under 30 days away from the election and the president is you know infected with a highly contagious disease virus that has effects killed 200000 americans but dr connelly citing hipaa regulations which is a law in the United States that prevents patients that prevents doctors from disclosing information that patients do not want released he said that you know due to these have the regulations that he couldnt tell us any more specific medications that the president might be on or what his long scans look like so again he continued to say you know withhold some very Important Information that you know could give us a serious and better picture of what the president s Current Health status actually is anybodys that is out of hospital so i suppose we should be thankful for that meanwhile the latest of his inner circle to be confirmed with cobbett is press secretary to Caylee Kennedy hours after being told about her positive test as she issued this statement on twitter heres just a part of it after testing that that have consistently including every day since thursday i tested positive for comment 19 on monday morning want to experience it no symptoms moreover i definitively had no knowledge of hope hickss diagnosis runs a holding a White House Press briefing on thursday so what is the story here why is she protesting so much. That is an excellent question and kerry magnan is response and handling of this situation is really emblematic of the way the white house has viewed and treated the virus and flouted centers for Disease Control guidelines throughout this entire ordeal mcenaney did in fact we now know hickss diagnosis and this is why the c. D. C. Has these guidelines meccan that any statement you know fundamentally represents an misunderstanding of the guidelines what the c. D. C. Says that is that you can test negative several times even if you have the virus especially if youve been exposed to it and as we know mcewan has been around the president hope its an enclosed proximity with several other people who have tested positive yet she continued to return to the workplace brief reporters did not wear a mask and in danger others around her even though the c. D. C. Guidelines recommends that people who have been exposed to the virus stay at home in quarantine for 14 days even just to take precautions even if you do not test positive for myras in those 14 to protect others around you so yes again saying that i answered this question before we ask a again we have a white house we have a president we have some white house staffers who appear to be acting. Particularly what so what recklessly we have people not Wearing Masks we have people not isolating sensible people say that is not a sensible thing to do to people really care though the so many high level republicans seem to have acted in such a reckless mullet. People are starting to care youre hearing senior republican senators on capitol hill start to worry that the Republican Party is looking like the stoop that is what we at the Washington Post reported over the weekend especially since there are a handful of Vulnerable Senate republican senators who are up for reelection and if they lose that means that Senate Majority leader Mitch Mcconnell will lose his majority and if the president wins reelection that means that it will be much harder to govern with a democratic led senate you know we did see the president s polls tank over the weekend and that polling was conducted after the debate and not and before his diagnosis of it became public so it remains to be seen just how much more his stance in the polls will drop you know once there is another round of polling conducted and people are responding in real time to his diagnosis this infection has also made the president s Campaign Come crying to a halt to her president does rely on these rallies in person several of them about the president because we have a president now coming out of hospital but his Campaign Manager bill stepien has also tested positive for covet so who is running the company and indeed is there much of a Trump Campaign at the moment. So there is in fact a you know a robust Strong Campaign i do speak with several Trump Campaign sources who are on the ground who are organizing these are talented operatives that being said the president has always been the one who has run his campaign thats why he cites for so many Campaign Manager so many chief of staff this is his management style its why theres been so much turnover in the white house and his campaign he dictates the message and largely his Campaign Strategy relies on his personality and these rallies that he holds that draws in so many people good talking to thank you so much for joining us such a claim the alimony from the Washington Post thanks for having me. Meanwhile the British Government is investigating how nearly 16000 new Coronavirus Infections went unreported because of what they say was a Technical GlitchHealth Minister not hancock says it was critical to ensure the mistake doesnt happen again the 15841 virus cases from september the 25th to the 2nd of october were not added to official figures Prime Minister baraks jobsons seemed quite delighted about the era the the incidents that were seeing in the cases really sort of corresponds to pretty much where we thought. We were and to be frank i think that the slightly lower numbers that wed seen. Didnt really reflect where we thought that the disease was likely to go so i think its in these numbers a realistic. So lets take a closer look at this with paul hunter hes professor of medicine at the university of east anglia england welcome to day w. Professor is paris johnson writes big quite so relaxed about failing to count nearly 16000 coronavirus cases. I think there is a serious issue here and that is that if you are going to be running a test track and trace system that will actually stop transmission ongoing transmission in your community then you have to be really timely in your response you have to identify cases soon as possible and then identify that contact and advise the contacts just to help isolate and test if its necessary or any delay that reduces the effectiveness of the system so that if we are having to wait a week to tell potential contacts then the chances are if they are even if those contacts are infected they will have developed their infection they were potentially encrypted other people and may well actually be already getting to the point where theyre already less infectious as they were a few days earlier so yes it is a serious. Mission that we havent been able to follow up as many as many as. 30000 contacts that really should have been followed a more timely than we have managed ok so that the 3 elements you mentioned that are of a good track and trace system a timely intervention identify the cases and identify contacts putting those 60000. 00 cases aside how does britains track and trace a system match up again so strict criteria. Well i think. It has been difficult and it remains difficult i think they. Are not forgive me for interrupting when you say it has been difficult you mean its not been going well. I think so yes they the we have not been i dont contacting as many cases as we would have liked in the past and certainly the evidence is that many people whove been contacted havent actually been responding appropriately havent been self isolating and to address that the u. K. Recently introduced. New laws that made it actually a criminal offense to not to self isolate when advised by the test track and traces them compare having said that compared to many other countries we certainly not one of the worst countries in europe in terms of our response to 19 but. Could certainly do better u. K. Also seems to be having a problem with the thousands of students having to be locked down in new universities in Manchester Edinburgh and glasgow amongst others and not to be wise after the event but it does seem predictable but you take tens of thousands of 18 year olds living away from home for the 1st time theyre going to have little time for social distancing this could have been avoided couldnt it well certainly i think its predictable whether its avoidable or not is that it is a different issue and i think that the issue is whether or not you will you can balance the loss that they get cation that would come with closing our universities at this stage with the. The harm would be done to students from both from the virus and from not attending education so certainly it was predictable and i think many people were expecting there to be a fairly substantial number of cases the most universities weve seen that already both in america and elsewhere where in countries where universities went back for the u. K. What is the alternative the alternative closed not open the universities against again this. Damaging many. Young peoples education. I wonder what sort of what people make of the political what you make of the Political Leadership on here because you have said its important to be timely in identifying the cases and identifying contacts and acting quickly but we have the u. K. Has a Health Secretary matthau kark who says this mistake losing nearly 16000 cases has not substantially changed the governments assessment of coverage 1000 impact and has a not impact the basis on which decisions about local action were taken last week so. What you say what he says the political leader seems to be at odds. No i dont think so well certainly a heck i dont certainly dont agree with everything that our Health Minister said but in this industry gart the u. K. Tends to make decisions on on a weapon city. And when you look at this when both cases of being lost many of the most and most of them would actually not as already not would have not come to the attention of the system by wednesday evening anyway so i dont think its actually made that much difference to right decisions on local lock downs this week most of the cases that were seeing most of the big increase that weve seen in the last week would would even if it were probably would only really have come to the discussion points in the next wednesdays. Command meeting where they decide on these things ok so briefly what what sort of pandemic do you think theyd be u. K. Is having clearly these are unprecedented times but how well is there is it being controlled. Well i just got to look at the figures it is it is has increased pretty dramatically over the last few weeks. Compared to other countries we were better than many not as good as some and its easy to point to other countries where that have had a much more severe increase in in recent weeks than we have. We are still having said that a long way to go it will always always was going to be a very tough autumn this year in terms of infections. Provide if we cant and and i think the decision is that we cant go back to the intense lockdown that we had in april things are better now than they were earlier in the year the availability of p. T. Is better we we were better at treating severely ill patients now than we were but still its going to be a tough autumn thank you for joining us they are climbing about so clearly a professor of paul hunter from the university of east anglia thank. My father. Im going to receive Opposition Leaders spent learning how to come a skier is here in berlin to ask for german help in solving the crisis in her country as she herself was forced into exile after losing all this president ial election 2 months standing before tearing leave and Xander Shanker has been meeting the 2 of us weekly mass protests in her country continue human rights organizations say more than 10000 people have been detained in baton rouge since the election and she reached german chancellor Angela Merkel on tuesday ahead of that mystical sky told e.
