Lets get right to that bombshell from washington right now. The president announcing both testing positive for coronavirus tonight. This news coming hours after we learned one of the president s top aides who flew with him on air force 1 yesterday tested positive. Cbs news reporter, nancy chen, has the latebreaking teetheses from washington. Reporter one of President Trumps closest aides, hope hicks, has tested positive for the coronavirus. Late thursday the president tweeted that he and the first lady tested positive for the virus. Hicks who serves as counselor to President Trump spent time near the president this week, including aboard air force 1. So far hicks is the closest aide to President Trump to test positive for covid19. The white house issued a statement saying the president takes the health and safety of himself and everyone who works in support of him and the American People very seriously. White house operations collaborates with the physician to the president and the White House Military Office to ensure all plans and procedures incorporate current cdc guidance and best practices for covid19 exposure to the greatest extent possible, both on complex and when the sprz travelling. A white house official tells cbs news Contact Tracing has been done. And the appropriate notifications and recommendations have been made. First Lady Melania Trump tweeting out moments ago, quote, as too Many Americans have done this year, were quarantining at home after testing positive for covid19. Were feeling good, and i have postponed all upcoming engagements. Please be sure you are staying safe. And we will all get through this together. Now according to the white house doctor, President Trump will continue carrying out his duties without disruption, despite contracting the virus. While the medical Team Oversees his recovery. And wall street is already reacting. Dow futures are down nearly 500 points in premarket trading right now. And were joined live by dr. Iion moleculed. Macdonald. Thank you so much for joining us. What are some of the risk factors for the president s age . Hes 74. And frankly, his physical condition, his weight. Well, combining the weight and the age factors puts him at, you know, eight to ten times higher risk for hospitalization than someone between 18 and 30 years of age. And certainly hospitalizations also can put a person at higher risk for death in that age group as well. And we know that about anxiety of people with infections, in hospitalizations, actually, are over 65. And hes certainly well over that age. And he was just at the debate two days ago. It depends on how close certainly for more than 15 minutes. And closer to 60. There could be risk for infection and certainly senator biden would have to really watch himself for symptoms and probably be tested in the next few days. No question. And im think of all the people that were on air force 1, including the press and all of his advisors. What type of risk are they and they were all on a plane together. It depends on how well they practice these cdc guidelines that they said they did. So if everybody was distanced at least six feet apart and wearing masks, the airplane has the normal efficiency of most jets. And those are pretty good. So the air is circuitulated pretty well and cleared pretty cleanly. So the issue really has to do with masking and distancing. In any event, i would still consider them at risk. And because of the closed borders and the duration of time. So they would probably, given the severity of this issue, and the fact that these are highlevel officials, that they would probably need to be monitored and potentially tested soon. We frequently assume President Trump at these Different Campaign evens not wearing masks, even. Joe biden jibing about always wearing a mask. What is the president s prognosis right now . His wife tweeted they were feeling fine. If you would be getting very ill, would he be already starting to show symptoms given the fact that he did test positive . Its really hard to know when he became infected. Generally people are about 80 of people have mild symptoms or no symptoms at all. So really its that 20 of people who will get hospitalized, sick enough to be hospitalized. But among those 20 , the majority will be over 60. Or 65. So hes definitely that this group. The one in five risk. And if he was infected in the last few days, it may take anywhere from two days or longer to develop symptoms. All right. Doctor, thank you so much for joining us tonight. Well keep you updated on the president s condition. As soon as we hear more. Right now, the glass fire, the other big story. Cutting a path of destruction through the north bay.

God bless you, President Trump, and our wonderful first lady, melania. With an ongoing housing crisis, many people often wonder why abandoned buildings are not converted into homes. One city is doing just that. And its helping families find affordable homes. The fence on this side over here was nonexistent. Reporter perez grew up in richmond. She used to find this abandoned house down the block from her abandoned block a bit creepy. There were looters who stayed here. So the home eventually burnt down. And it seemed really eerie. Reporter today its fully renovated. And misty and her husband are living there as firsttime homeowners. A lot of my neighbors have talked to me about how happy they are to see that its filled with young people that are from this area. Reporter shes a teacher. Her husband is a communications and Security Specialist with the u. S. Army. She never thought shed be able to afford a home in the city she grew up in. I think that thats really amazing to see that people like me can own a home here. Reporter richmond currently has 240 abandoned properties just like this. What usually happens is the original Property Owner passes away and doesnt leave the home to anyone. Investors dont want to buy these homes because the cost of the environmental cleanup, plus the unpaid property taxes, are worth more than the value of the home. So places like this will stay abandoned for more than a decade. Simply but its not easy to turn a quick profit here. Between us, the bank, and the city, weve created this strategy to reclaim these boarded up, abandoned homes. That no one else wants. Reporter jim becker and the Richmond Community Foundation Come in and have turned 2010 abandoned homes into Affordable Housing for families like misty. The nonprofit received money from they, pa, and social impact funds from the bank to fund the cleanup and construction to sell these homes to firsttime home buyers at below the typical market rate. The program is serving people who are typically at 30 to 50 at Median Income. And our Median Income in this area is 59,000. You have to use whatever you have. And this is a very unique. They rebuild these properties and they sell them to as Affordable Housing. And then they cycle the money back into the program to do another one. Reporter this revival of richmond means she and her husband can stay. I always come home, and i feel so strongly tied to the community. I want to make sure that my students and the people around me get the same opportunities that i was given. Reporter its a concept thats campaigning some ground. Lets return to the weather situation. We talked about the fire danger in our first segment. Now the smoke and the heat storm the forecast tomorrow. This is the satellite image from earlier today. All of this, looks like cloud cover, none of its clouds. This is all smoke. And it was thick across the bay area. Our storm forecast model picked up on it perfectly. The farther inland you can gthe more that smoke is still going to be concentrated. Poor air quality for the entire bay area for most of tomorrow. Wind the clock into saturday. Still more improvement. The western half of the bay area. Farther inland, youre gonna have to contend with that smoke, into the wind complex, the trivalley, and the eastern half of the santa clara valley. More improvement into sunday. The worst air quality is gonna be in the immediate vicinity of the glass complex. Everyone else will see improving air quality according to this. The epas forecast keeps us in unhealthy air quality into tuesday. So plan on that. But lets hope that we do see that stronger wind bringing us better air and relief from the heat. Its still warm out there right now. 60s in the city in sn santa rosa. Everybody else is in the 60s. Way hotter than normal for early october. Except along the coast.
