Vladimir putins russia developing its own vaccine against covid19, offered it to the United States.

A lot of World Leaders and top officials, more than a dozen of them over the past several months have caught covid19. One was a covid19 skeptic, b o bosonaro he was laid out for 18 days, it was just a moderate case. In london Prime Minister Boris Johnson had a tough one. He was laid up for more than a month, went into intensive care and by his own admission was touch and go for a wild. The popularity bounced for Boris Johnson lasted a week or two. It is hard to say how donald trump will come out of this on the political side. We are hoping for his speedy recovery. Back to you. This will take us past election day. The white house wants to see this. And after the positive step, the 8 gram dose is being studied for use with early illness but it wont proof for the masses, the president s physician said after receiving treatment donald trump, quote, remains fatigued but in good spirits. How much help might this be . Lets get insight, republican congresswoman from new york and first female physician elected to congress and doctor george diaz, section chief of providence Regional Medical center. A statement we just got from sean connolly, the president s physician, i am happy to report the president is doing very well. Hes not requiring any supplemental oxygen but in consultation with specialists we initiate severe therapy, he completed his first dose and resting comfortably. Lets start with you. What do you make of the treatment the president has received . Not surprisingly given the president s Critical Role in national life, i dont mean this in an alarmist way they are pulling out all the stops to make sure that they insure his safe passage through this virus. The antibody cocktail is meant to imitate, it contains many days. With the synthetic antibody cocktail what they are doing is infusing those antibodies into his body to neutralize the virus more quickly. His body has to ramp up its own responses and the remdesivir is a direct antiviral, that is meant to stop replication of the virus in his cells. They are prudent measures and a lot more they can do that they are not doing. I want to ask how unusual it would be to give someone an experiment a drug not improved by the fda. I would say it is fairly unusual. The reason for doing that is the high risk category of patients given his age and his weight puts him at higher risk category for developing severe in section. Because of this the decision was made to use experimental therapy. Recently the company regeneron made a press release with topline results. Very pulmonary data that suggests treatment with the antibody early before people make their own antibodies, decrease the amount of fibrous one produces and the number of medical visits required by patients. Given the data that came out though its not published yet, the president s overall risk the decision was made to pursue this. I want to jump in, from what you heard about the president s symptoms, theyve been somewhat vague so far, they sound mild at least so far. Is there a way to predict how well use doing and how well he might do . Sounds like you think the antibody cocktail might provide some help, some relief or reduce the amount of the virus or separate the symptoms . The goal is to accelerate the bodys a limitation of the virus. The course of the virus can be unpredictable. People who seemingly would not be at the highest risk, the president , while use obese, does not have metabolic syndrome doesnt have hypertension or those blood vessel conditions that really signal a danger point for this particular disease, they are monitoring him very carefully for his temperature, for his oxygen levels just out of an abundance of caution, they have a lot more they can use and i imagine they are going to continue to infuse the remdesivir, the direct antiviral and the antibody cocktail depending on how they feel he is doing. We have seen covid19 survival rates are very high, 99 except for people over 70 you have a roughly 95 survival rate according to the cdc the years and you mentioned the president s weight. So where does that put him, how much risk you think hes in . It depends on whether he was admitted to the hospital for covid19 pneumonia. This is a little unusual, he was admitted perhaps earlier than we would normally admit a patient for someone with covid19 infection. If the patient was admitted to the hospital because it was a necessary admission for covid19 pneumonia. If you plug in his agent his weight into a pretest formula for determining risk his risk would be over 20 in terms of mortality. That being said i think it was not admitted to the hospital because he needed to be admitted. I think the situation is different, but he was admitted for prophylaxis, his risk is lower than that. We will leave it there, we will see you again during live coverage, thanks for being with us, donald trump could be off the trail for the next couple weeks and joe biden not slowing down his schedule, how will this change the race with 30 days until the election. Our panel on deck to weigh in. Was read Medical Centers one of the finest Military Hospitals in the world, the president stands working there tonight, this morning from his president ial suite. It functions as a mini oval office outfitted with everything he would need to run the country and surrounded by the nations top doctors and staff over 7000, donald trump is not the first to check in to walter reed while in office. We have an inside look at the history lesson. The president listen to Walter Reed National Medical Center for treatment out of an abundance of caution according to the white house. It was known as Walter Reed National military Medical Center and is a military Treatment Center if you will, it is located in maryland and if you watched our coverage yesterday evening you would know it was a very short trip from the white house. Also donald trump posted that video on twitter saying he was thinking he was doing okay, the first lady as well and he will stay at the Medical Center for a couple days. Is now in the hands of top doctors, nearly 7100 staffers, the president will be staying in what is known as 71 with the president ial suite, just one of the centers 88 buildings. This area will allow the president to continue with his duties while getting treatment, the white house says that will continue until he is released or until the doctors say hes good to go with walter reed is known for giving top care to government officials and military personnel, it was named after army doctor walter reed who spearheaded research that found that yellow fever is transmitted through mosquitoes, treating everyone from us president s to army privates. The hospital to care over never let appointed troops as well during the iraq and latino wars. The president visited troops in july at the center. There is video that visit there, his wife and first lady milania trump underwent treatment for kidney treatment there, the president received treatment there, Richard Nixon was treated for staph infection and resident eisenhower died there. And other noteworthy president receive care at the center was Ronald Reagan to undergo surgery for Prostate Cancer at now the 40 fifth president is there for treatment of this invisible enemy that has affected lives across the world. Thanks very much. Donald trumps trip to the hospital for coronavirus puts the future of his campaign in uncertain territory. Don junior was on tucker talking about how this may affect the campaign. I love them on the road for the campaign, that something he does well, he loved that, he feeds off of that, the enthusiasm is palpable. As it relates to running the free world i dont think it changes anything, he has always been a worker and he will keep fighting, thats what hes going to do right here right now for the American People, nothing will take a backseat. He cant do the public appearances he would otherwise be doing. Right now hes taking that very seriously. As the president gets treatment and recovers his events are being shifted to visual experiences or being postponed, joe bidens campaign is going full speed ahead. Biden harris camp pulled negative trump at focusing on positive messaging. What will this mean for the president a race . Here to discuss, and brad blakeman, and advisor to the Bush Cheney Campaign. Good to see both of you. We have seen some criticisms from leading democrats, not from the biden campaign, how important is this . It is important to keep full steam ahead on the campaign, now is the time to be, use every tool in the toolbox, be creative, the president will get his message is on his health permits and he can get out as quickly as possible and when he does it will be a triumphant return to the campaign but others will pick up the slack, the Vice President will do more high Profile Campaign events as well his children, other surrogates but as voting begins with jurisdictions around the country more efforts are put into get out the vote in local jurisdictions as well as state strategies, where does the president have to win, where does the concentration have to be . Get out the vote means requesting an absentee ballot. Surrogates are one thing but the president s strength is the ability to work crowds and not to attend rallies is got to hurt the campaign. I wonder if the biden camp thinks they are close to the finish line. Absolutely right. I want to mention how important it is for the president to get well. That should be the primary objective here and i wish him well and hope he recovers quickly but eveneds in person, likely going to be pushed to the side, donald trump did galvanize his voters that way but joe biden has been Building Momentum and continues to build momentum and the campaign is on the ground in a far aggressive way and we see the Vice President getting out more in public in person, that has been the plan, focusing on turning out voters and ensuring the votes count on election day and after they come in through the mail as they likely would that is the program, for donald trump this certainly is a big shift. From suggest the biden harris caption shutdown their campaign of life the president is unable to campaign, he is second in the hospital but they rejected that idea. Is that fair . It is not fair. The campaign should continue. This is not something that should stop. The president is not incapacitated to the point that he is not able to involve himself in the campaign at all. This is being done as a precaution, not necessity, big difference and we will know more about the president s health in the coming days but right now the president was symptomatic but not to the point any other person would have been hospitalized. Hes there because hes the president of the United States and they want to make sure he has the top care and continue to govern and campaign. I want to have you back later to talk about debates that are coming up. Do you think the debate in two weeks will happen . Very doubtful right now, certainly for donald trump, this is a disease one can never predict how it will unfold. He needs to be healthy before he does anything of that nature. Appreciate your time in these early hours and we will get back to you in a little bit. The next president ial debate is scheduled for october 15th but what if trump still hasnt cleared the coronavirus by then, could we be in for the first ever virtual president ial event . We will see. God calls on people who believe in him to act on his word. Comfort ye, comfort my people. When i come here and i sit with lilia i realize what she needs right now is food. These elderly jews are weak and theyre sick. Theyre living on 2 a day which is impossible. This now, is how gods children are living. Take this time to send a survival food box to these forgotten jews. The International Fellowship of christians and jews urgently need your gift of 25 now to help provide one survival food box with all of the essentials they critically need for their diet for one month. When you call right now, your gifts impact will be doubled to help save lives. No vitamins and no protein so my legs and hands are very weak. Oh, oh, oh lets make sure that we bring them just a little bit of hope. By bringing them a little bit of food. For just 25, you can help supply the essential foods they desperately need for one month. When you call right now, your gifts impact will be doubled to help save lives. I just want to encourage all of you to join with Yael Eckstein and the wonderful work of the International Fellowship of christians and jews. God tells us to take care of them, to feed the hungry.
