Are positive Vice President mike pence we do know has tested negative for coronavirus were just finding that out as well as he continues to send his well wishes and they come in from around the world, other leaders and those in government or tweeting that they hope the president has a quick and speedy recovery. We also have a memorandum for the president s physician. And in fact you see a portion of it there on your screen. He says that both are doing well at this time they do plan on remaining home in the white house during their convalescence in the letter he also mentions the president is hes as he is this morning is expected to continue performing the duties of the office of the president for the foreseeable future of course if things do progress in a direction that they dont want then the president may have to be taken to Walter Reed Medical Center where hill continue to receive care but for the moment, his symptoms are mild and so he is recovering. At the white house and since they are mile were wondering will he speak to the nation to ally fears and to let us see how hes doing and if that happens well take it to you live so keep the tv on all morning long kron 4 will be your best source for that as well as the kron on app thats 24 7 news. Were also continuing to get new information on those on capitol hill who have tested positive. So far in addition to the president and first lady. Firstly they think they got it from hope hicks is very close aide and we do know this morning that rnc chairwoman Ronna Mcdaniel we just found out she has tested positive for covid. And heres a list of the people that we know so far who have tested negative because of course their tests now have been brushed in the wake of the news about the president weve learned that ivanka trump, the president s daughter and her husband Jared Kushner both have received negative test results this morning barron trump, the president s youngest child also receiving a negative result. As we mentioned Vice President mike pence second lady karen pence also negative this morning. U. S. Secretary of the treasury secretary Steve Mnuchin has tested negative Alex Azar Health and Human Services secretary. Coming back with a negative test result and so has Supreme CourtJustice Nominee judge Amy Coney Barrett. She was just this she has had close contact with the president this week at her test results have also come back negative this morning as you know what theyre saying that this all originated this covid situation in the white house from. Senior aide hope hicks and here she is if you havent seen her shes by the president s side. From many of his events shes been on air force one and marine one with him. This week many times coming into close contact with the president and many of top echelon thats why theres going to be a lot of testing done. And theres a lot of question as to where she came down with the virus and how and how and then also what happened after they found out so we have the latest video that we have of them together was wednesday and thats when you can see the president here as hes about to head off to i believe it was a campaign of to and minnesota so here he is getting on the helicopter and in a second youll see hope hicks getting on the helicopter that was wednesday. What we understand is that after they landed during the event that they were at yesterday. She began to have symptoms. So that is the president then and his inner circle knew at least by wednesday night that hope hicks had coronavirus however yesterday thursday. Even though they say when you do come into contact with someone whether or not you test positive you should quarantine and isolate because youve been in close contact. The president however yesterday did go on with his schedule. So everybody who was in contact with the president. Yesterday is now being tested because we dont know how much farther that spread thats going to be the big question this morning. Yeah, he was at a fundraising event a private one in bedminster. At a resort there in new jersey and so everybody inside of that event that came in contact with the president was a very personal meet and greet fundraiser. Theyre all now going to have to not only test themselves but Contact Trace who theyve been in touch with her in contact with over the last 24 to 48 hours weve want to hear what does the president himself had to say about picks contracting the virus as he spoke last night on fox news. Very hard when you with soldiers what year airman the marines and i would tend to police with him so much and when they come over to its very hard to say stay back he stepped back, you know its its a tough kind of a situation is a terrible thing today. They want to hug you and they want to kiss you because we really have done a good job dormant. You get close and things happen. Now he was intimating there that perhaps a member of the military or the police that gave it to them because theyre in close contact but we dont know yet who it was that gave hope hicks the virus who then in turn. In fact the president so again that part of it is still unknown this morning. What we also dont know yet is if joe biden has covid of course he got tested immediately after he. Found out the president came down with it and he said jill and i send our thoughts to the president and first lady. This is his tweet well wishes to the the bidens are waiting for their results. And theyre a Campaign Staffer also going to be tested because as you know. Even though joe biden always wears a mask. One of the rare times that you saw him without it is when he went out for that debate. Tuesday and as we said james, you know when you test and when you show symptoms and when you just positive or you know youre tested every day because those things change and while everybody was tested at they then went on stage and they werent Wearing Masks, they were good. I dont appear to be 12 feet apart, at a but. They even talked about. Covid and whether the president wears a mask or not what he thinks of eid wearing a mask and heres what happened during the debate about that. President jiang now you have a gun to increasingly question the effectiveness of masks as a disease preventer and in fact recently you have cited the issue of of waiters touching their mouse and touching plight are you questioning know i think i understand if you look i mean i have a masquerade here i put a mask on it you know what i think i need it. Tonight is an example, everybodys had a test and youve had social distancing and all of the things that you have to but when needed when needed i wear mask, okay, let me ask i dont have i dont wear masks like him every time you hes got a mask he could be speaking. 200 feet away from any shows up with the biggest mask ive ever seen. And again maskwearing has always been recommended by the cdc has just one layer in a comprehensive strategy towards trying to prevent the spread of coronavirus testing a big component mask wearing a big component social distancing washing hands all of those things we recommended that we need to do constantly. And in that example you can see the president sort of dismissing making fun of joe biden for. Regularly wearing a mask at Public Events you know thats all part of the coverage in the reaction that were getting from people all around the country in terms of the president s news this morning is positive for coronavirus hearing from around the country on this and that includes representative eric swalwell. Here is what he had to say. Right now you know as an american im rooting our leaders to be healthy and able to cover me because you know we why make sure that the case with her you know continuity you know plan a succession plan. Even in place and so yes, a possibility, but i think all of us are hoping you know our sitting president is healthy. Unable to govern because i want to start going down that line of succession in this one. You things get on certain. The german million americans have contracted this 205,000 have died and now. No leader of the free world. Happy positive talk here and again we know wish him well, but. They should demonstrate that your could get this and so the best thing we can do where a monster have others around us wear a mask because when you wear mask, youre not protecting yourself, youre protecting other son. If others around the president for not Wearing Masks that very likely may be the reason that he contracted this and so you know in our workplaces, you know as we gather with family and friends are as we go to church and go about our lives the fast track right now the math. Right now as we wait to see just how the president s ride with covid goes everyone is hoping that its smooth and then he makes a quick recovery. However, we saw what happened with another world leader and that is Prime Minister of the uk, boris johnson, when he had covid the first 10 days. He was just you person recovering from covid to get a fever or that sort of thing he was isolating effect in the beginning. He was doing his job remotely. As President Trump may end up doing. You know he had a fever he was getting through that and 10 days dont forget is the recommendation after symptoms show then youre a 10 to 14 days, then you can go back to being with people however it is not until 10 days after. Johnson got covid that then he was admitted to the hospital it suddenly got worse he ended up having to be intubated dont know if hes going make in fact briefly there was that same talk there about. All right do we transfer of power during this interim while hes on oxygen and unable to perform his duties and thats obviously a discussion thats also being held at the highest levels in washington to just to make sure that there is that succession of power that the u. S. Government continues smoothly should the president have to be taken to the hospital to it as part of his recovery. Well have to wait and see but as we reported we know the Vice President mike pence has tested negative and so he is ready willing and able should the need arise for him to take over. Control the government temporarily right this is something that the nation dealt with in the past when emergencies have happened. President Ronald Reagan when he survived a shot that he you know he was 80s. And theres a chain that takes place everybody is on alert that the thing they need to make sure of is that everybody whos in that chain is negative and stays negative. So so far we do know that the Vice President mike pence is negative at this point thats something continue to test to make sure that nothing develops and so what else is impacted by this. The president ial debates for one thing we are about a month away from the election and we know there are 2 more president ial debates between now and then. The next one which is coming up in about a week and a halfs time is at this point in jeopardy. If the president does have to remain isolated for the next 10 to 14 days. What will we do with that debate that we just skip it, thats something theyre trying to decide right now. We know that the Vice President joe biden his opponent in this has been tested this morning. We dont know the results of those tests yet after the 2 squared off on tuesday night there with the debate doesnt have Vice President ial candidate Kamala Harris has come back with a negative test result so. We know that much at least this morning. If that word on Vice President joe bidens test result comes back during a broadcast obviously were going to have it here for you if not if it happens during the day make sure you download the kron 4 mobile app because that will be are easiest way and letting it and i do have another test that just came in from cnbc their reporting or scouring all of our you know Internet Sources to just give you the very latest on twitter or wherever it comes and commerce secretary wilbur ross is negative so the stock markets and the world markets, its very important in knowing whats going on in this country. And we Steve Mnuchin test negative and now a commerce secretary wilbur ross test negative. So those are positives that we can take away this morning as well as the fact that the stock market early on news of not the president covid would took a huge ive where just the things really turned around it looks like were starting to make back some of those losses. So well talk more about that too in our 9 oclock hour financial expert. Rob black. For now though lets get over to the Weather Center weve got john trade with a look at the forecast something youll need to know about as you head out the door this morning job yet another important one guys because air quality is still suffering from wildfires burning across the state, especially the glass fire little clear out along the coastline in half moon bay, but look at this view. Over from our sutro tower can hardly even make out financial district in the distance air quality the worse the further inland you get with napa especially around that really seeing some of the densest of in red thats very pour and in orange poor conditions. So were all pretty much in the same boat on this one red indicating red flag warnings and impeach were still under hot those heat advisories as hot temperatures are again expected this afternoon not as hot as yesterday was but still some triple digits and in the vicinity of the glass fire too so thats where that risk comes into play. 60s and 70s for your current temperatures, a cool start to yet another hot day 80s for San Francisco and oakland 90s for areas like san jose. Robin.
