S. Forces . Abcs alex presha has details and reaction from capitol hill. Reporter this morning two new reports say President Trump was briefed on plots that accuse russia of offering bounties on u. S. Soldiers in afghanistan. The New York Times reporting american officials provided a written briefing in late february to President Trump laying out their conclusion. The Associated Press writing, top officials in the white house were aware in early 2019 of classified intelligence indicating russia was secretly offering bounties to the taliban for the deaths of americans and that assessment was included in at least one of the president s daily briefings. It goes on to say, National Security adviser john bolton also told colleagues he briefed trump on the matter in march of 2019. A military official confirms to abc news that russian agents were suspected of paying taliban militant bounties to target and kill American Service members in afghanistan. A source also says the intelligence was specific enough that the military and cia took steps to increase security and surveillance of russian operatives in afghanistan, and senior officials were briefed as well. But overnight National Security adviser Robert Obrien said the president had not been briefed because the information was not verified. The white house also making a similar claim. There were dissenting opinions within the intelligence community, and it would not be elevated to the president until it was verified. Unverified intelligence gets put in front of president s all the time. Its the nature of intelligence. Theres always going to be uncertainty.

We turn now to covid19 and this question, should you wear a face shield instead of a mask to protect yourself . Earlier i spoke with dr. Alok patel. We also talked about safety at hotels this Holiday Weekend. We began with a new study on the rare syndrome linked to the coronavirus thats impacting children. New research is out this morning on that mystery syndrome linked to covid19 thats affecting children. Doctors are now reporting nearly 300 cases. One study finding 80 of the children required intensive care. What are we learning about the syndrome, and what dont we know . You know, 80 of these kids are winding up in the icu about two to four weeks after possibly getting covid19, so there is a suspicion that these two are linked. What we dont know is exactly why and unfortunately hoi widespread this could be as we see more cases around the country. The antiviral drug remdesivir providing some hope when it comes to treating covid19. The maker of the drug Just Announced the price tag, more than 3,100 for a fiveday treatment. One Consumer Group called that an outrage but the drug company said the price reflects its goal of worldwide distribution. Your thoughts on that price . Theres a couple of things to think about. Number one, the drug is costing more in the United States under private insurers than it is in developed countries, so why the discrepancy and, number two, the pricing is based on the fact that Previous Research suggested that remdesivir treatment could reduce hospitalization stay, so you could get somebody out of the hospital faster, which would theoretically save the hospital a lot of money, but we have to see if that works out in a large scale. When it comes to protection what is the difference between those face shields and a regular cloth mask . Well, they are fashionable. Look, i have one right here. Whats great about these right here is theyre comfortable. They actually your mouth is free. Youre less likely to want to touch your face because youve got this plastic barrier, but at the same time we dont have the same Research Showing that it can prevent the spread the way a mask can. If somebody for a medical reason cannot wear a mask, and your doctor advises you to wear one of these, thats a different story. But i would not say that people should go out and replace them for the plastic shields. Theyre very different. The fourth of july weekend is almost here, which means people will be traveling. What do people need to know if they plan on staying at a hotel . The first thing i want people to know is they should be still avoiding nonessential travel especially with so many cases piling up all over the country. But if you do for whatever reason need to stay in a hotel, i think its a great idea to contact the hotel and make sure theyre taking all the necessary precautions. Make sure theyre being cognizant about shared spaces, the elevators, the restaurants, all that stuff. And even after all that, people still need to take their own precautions. Bring hand sanitizer. Wear a mask. Make sure youre cleaning everything down, dont just make assumptions. Our thanks to dr. Patel there.
