Im from gail welcome to the Program President trumps in quarantine in the white west wing of the white house suffering what is a mild symptoms of coffee 19 taking him off the campaign trail just a bug before the u. S. President ial election the president and 1st lady tested positive shortly after one of the senior aides was found to have been infected democratic candidate joe biden has tested negative despite sharing a platform with mr trump during this weeks heated president ial debate. Full President Trump it has been an extraordinary Election Campaign during an unpredictable yeah and that was before the president shot the weld by revealing he and his wife. The most powerful couple on earth had been infected by the corona virus. He tweeted tonight the 1st lady and i tested positive for covert 19 we will begin our quarantine and Recovery Process immediately we will get through this together. The president does have mile symptoms. To try to. Make sure that not only his health and safety and welfare is good we continue to look at that war of the American People he he continues to be not only in good spirits but very energetic. At the white house anxiety have been rising after the news that a trusted Campaign Aide was diagnosed with the virus on thursday. Topix seen here in the brown coat often travels with the President Trump and his in a circular tested regularly and now the race is on to trace and test the people who might have come into contact with the president and the pool of potential people is huge with an election to win trump has been on the road addressing voters and he hasnt always want to face mask or follow guidelines on social distancing. Here he is 2 days before the positive coronavirus test result at a Campaign Rally in minnesota. But for now in person campaigning is on hold. In the key state of florida an empty venue trumps event planned for friday night is canceled if donald trump hopes to make America Great again hes going to have to be the coronavirus 1st. Straight to washington where were joined by correspondent Stephanie Simons with more welcome stefan how concerned are republicans about this. They must be very very concerned about this this is a major blow for the president for his presidency number one and for his campaign absolutely as we just reported as you just said all events canceled or turning into a Virtual Event and not staffed by the president or the. His wife maybe not even by the Vice President because of course they all have to get tested continuously its not just one test youre negative and then go on with your business as was no thats not happening so the entire Core Administration crew team around the president the president himself the Vice President they all need to be very cautious they need to be constantly monitored and tested again and again the campaign canceled everything is out of the water and as you just heard mark meadows the chief of staff saying the president still on the job that may be true for the for his president ial functions although we havent seen him tweeting all day long so far thats unusual for President Trump but were told that he will address the nation that he will talk to the people to the American People soon well what means soon we dont know republicans concerned absolutely this campaign is as we expect it is to happen still for the next 30 plus days is dead they have to reinvent the wheel lets look at the other side of the island because just a couple of days ago the president took part in this i mean way to debate with democratic challenger joe biden so there must be good must have been concerns that he might have been exposed to covet 19. Animated debates a nice way to put it and of course yes the Biden Campaign and the biden camp was absolutely concerned and Vice President biden and his wife as well as his closest team who were all there and they at this debate got tested right away and the Vice President tweeted not long time ago saying the following let me read this to you i am happy to report that jill and i just his wife have tested negative for covert thank you for to everyone for your messages of concern i hope this serves as a reminder wear a mask keep social distance and wash your hands so here is the Vice President trying to a saying im ok im healthy im going to go on with my campaign and he hit it pays off that i wore messed my hands kept social this is the distancing contraire own contrary to what the president did the last few weeks so him also trying to find the right tone here not to rub it in of course that would be 2 states mentally but to say they go this is the consequence dont wear a mask do not social distancing and do not keep hygiene and you end up maybe as the president himself with a covert 19 affection and briefly then the white house has not begun Contact Tracing within the president s weve already seen a key republicans testing positive how bad is the outbreak of the to have washington looking. Good question i think its homers its could be really really bad and as of now i think its just bad example senator mike lee a republican from utah is on the Judiciary Committee in the senate and was of course last saturday at the white house when the President Trump nominated his pick for the Supreme Court justice miss barrett and Connie Barrett and there is video floating around on social media seeing mr mike the mike lee the senator hugging people all around know what he wore masks there and so on so you see this is not going to be now just an Administration White House problem this going to be through all the branches Senate Congress rare house of representatives everybody is a contact racing frenzy right now for good reason 7 psalms in washington thank you. But just from stephan President Trump has long been dismissive of coronavirus on the precautions. Experts have recommended and heres how he reacted to the greatest Public Health challenge for decades from initial optimism in february looks like by april you know in theory when it gets a little warmer it miraculously goes away i hope thats true to a number up to about face in march and specifically today i am officially declaring a National Emergency u. S. President donald trump has gone to extremes in his Public Attitude toward the coronavirus hes always saw a Silver Lining even as the death toll skyrocketing to america will begin and soon be open for business. We cannot let the cure be worse than the problem itself were not going to let the cure be worse than the problem you can start seeing some related the end of the tunnel but this is going to be a very painful. Very very painful 2 weeks that trump soon turned a medical problem into a political issue forcing the public to choose between him and the experts when government scientists recommended Wearing Masks he scoffed at the idea is the one myself its a recommendation they recommend it. I dont see it for myself i just i just maybe ill change my mind he didnt change his mind but as the pandemic refused to go away miraculously he mused in public about rather unorthodox treatments supposing we hit somebody with a tremendous whether its ultraviolet or just very powerful late when i said supposing it were the lady inside the body can which you can do either through the skin or. In some other way right and then i see the disinfectant but not in a minute. By june as testing ramped up along with case numbers he seemed exasperated if you dont test you dont have any cases that we stepped us cigarette now we have very few cases if any. And he started marking the virus making racist jokes and blaming the pandemic on china. Its a disease without question has more names than any disease and theres should i i can name. Comes lou i can name i 90 different versions of they said with the election looming he doubled down on mocking masks even during the president ial debate i dont have i dont where mass like him every time you see me got a mask he could be speaking 200 feet away from him he shows up with the biggest mask ive ever seen that attitude held up until the last minute at this rally in minnesota on wednesday trump threw souvenirs barehanded into a packed audience where few wore masks it remains to be seen how seriously trumps diehard supporters will now. Take the virus that has put their hero into quarantine and they will well its about the Health Implications of the president s condition with John Campbell hes a former teacher and emergency room nurse now working as a Health Educator he joins us from colorado in england welcome to t. W. But what was your reaction when you heard this news not at all surprised in fact i wondered why its taken quite so long. Quite quite on topic to cut through because its been quite a few high risk. Of that not wear a mask. Places that i can fall and i was spreads in and you cases are going or so well so sure that this virus is very. Very easy to catch and we know the high prevalence of it states so i was taught by state actually all this ok though the president s a 74 year old man hes 6 foot 4 and a base were told hes saying good spirits but given those General Health conditions well can we guess about his likelihood of making a full recovery. Well you know if you are man that is a particular perspective begin with the a. Also being a man is an increase because well you see his wife is going to be less than the rest would be the 110. 00 killer which is actually quite heavy that gives him a potty mouth so just that itll be over there and we also be if you like septic is involved things so those are 2 things that are risk is that hes also got a few things in his favor this better to be placed both regularly as we. Please nondrinker we didnt smoke and he does have regular medical staffs that we can actually quantify now to some degree called likely it is the filmmaker cover or how long it is the things that other vehicle is a recent better analysis about. Different papers been put together by trade in to 75 years of day to day from the action fatality is 4. 2 percent so we can actually quantify this that means it was a 95 percent on a book rate but of course he could be ill in the meantime weve got if you think of the case of our prime minister. He was actually working at home least he wasnt well but he wasnt that you know either about and claim there is an initial condition deteriorated sharply as a rare unpredictable virus and it could go either way and there is no risk here theres no. Risk to use in the order of somewhere under on this end. Ok so were expecting good things were starting a recovery but despite suffering no doubt the same terms he has postponed all the immediate Campaign Events is that what youd expect. I absolutely have any moment people most infectious perhaps the day before they get sent to them for the 1st few days after they get him just now as far as we know the president is right there not to jen chesty was tested yesterday it tweeted at 1 oclock this morning that it was infectious now the time is far as we had no sooner but without saying that the president and they both have their lives actually todays most contagious day so its very important be honest enough to carry on isolating these owners of the symptoms for some time after last year isolation till it is tested negative says got to go and predict the course. John campbell Health Educator thank you thank you the politics for some of the sound quality that. German chancellor Angela Merkel has been meeting with fellow e. U. Heads of state in brussels she began a video News Conference by sending her best wishes to the president. When adama tell ladies and gentlemen we have just concluded very comprehensive discussions yet but before i brief you on that id like to take the opportunity to wish the u. S. President donald trump and his wife melania and all the best in their recovery from call that 99 and its good its of the nation but again the one called the unseen it is important to me to reiterate from this podium my wishes for their speedy recovery in these a.

Fia anxiety and loneliness and then corona came along. Added isolation for those with dementia is damaging. So is forgetting to follow the new rules. To avoid getting or transmitting the virus. Its also a challenge and danger if i can give is. Theres more evidence showing a person with dementia in a care home is actually at higher risk of catching covert 19. The risk of severe symptoms rises steeply with age one in 10 deaths have been people over 60. So how do you go about isolating someone who for whom isolation is the worst thing possible and explain to them what the coronavirus is and how to respond when they keep forgetting well talk to a dimension nurse about that in a moment 1st this report on how families coping with the same situation in india. Quarantine has been fun for the sooty. She has spent playing games attending online classes and coloring with her 9 year old granddaughter should be. And these activities have taken on an added book because in managing provide these items i am was living with the disease for 9 years has led to memory loss and limited her speech but engaging with her granddaughter serves as crucial cognitive therapy should be has drawn up on the standing her grandmother is different. When she was younger she was at times frustrated that she was the one looking after. Instead of the other way around. Now she talks excitedly about the fun games she dreams up for her grandmother making lemonade together giving her a spa expedience her mother proudly calls her these primary caregiver she gave in giving commands and on demand i think i still have a real grandma. So thats a liberating good i think she is fighting the disease and she is trying to get hold of her said. Dr will shes trying again was going. Down. But be surrounded by loving family has been one of the more fortunate patients. Centers like this one called hope you were instrumental in providing patient care before the pandemic doctors say socialisation helps immensely in managing the disease. But now things look Different Group sessions are no longer held and all the caregivers wear protective gear and maintain social distance the change was confusing and isolating for residential patients. To the caregivers being next to bear having you know giving them some word who they were but lets what is this. And they were all really calling them. More literate surgeons adjust to their new circumstances the end is also helping patients at home they have to develop a schedule and activity kits with cognitive exercises which theyve then helped the patients tackle through we do. Keeping patients in gauge helps of what episodes of violence which can be aggravated by isolation patients and become very aggressive in turn out for 3 to 3 months who are none the less down they were not even taken all planned to the park or even are playing and that and theyre becoming very.

Dissolute these have managed to keep any such episodes in check should be mrs her friends at school but is enjoying the praise and affection she gets for looking after her grandmother. Shes certain poverty quietly enjoys the 2. She works with the family. How do you isolate suffers without. Its actually incredibly difficult today really because it calls the person with dementia might not understand what youre asking them to the rationale behind it lol you can understand the language that youre using some of the state by state we get people is to think about how you explain the virus and explain more whats going on and you know rather than using lets like contaminate coworkers a family makes sense easing simpler was talking about things like flu like illness and trying to make it really straightforward people that. They understand that theres something out there thats tom fall in the does a risky to them and that they need to stay isolated a. Little but and then one of their the things i think is always really important when when youre supposed to from a to mention is to think about engaging them in meaning for that. Because then you can kind of distract women away from some of the. When i was when i took my meaning for the to that is i mean that is meaningful for the person themselves. Maybe music that they like a food that they are equal to the table past hoping they may have helped comes in the past so you know you can talk about the reason we have today what you have today and i have to isolate because there is this. Disease thats harmful to us but then try to create a safe place with a cousin to engage in something that does meaningful and the right higher or lower in the cuts to the tiller of enabling what difference can relatives make by getting involved. Relatives will make a huge difference from the majority of people to mention will be living in their own higher so theyll be cared for predominantly by the other and certainly in the. Does result because as you know weve seen with. Action in the concession kind of us to play the ball in the visits that might have come because of course covers a good 2nd icon of themselves with the question of. Family is a hard thing to in some cases take off much most of the bites by carrying them then they may have. A leader so that doesnt impose relatives in a room i kind of think about your living in your house you somebody with dementia you might kind of decide to make her day bearable or possible or you dont get treated i kind of very different parts of the raven. Educated like to watch a film living right here in the kitchen dispersals a table take a walk in the cotton you know so you can design Different Things and almost timetable Different Things. Throughout the day a 2nd person structure in place. What about when it comes to cast senses because some of them have been coronavirus incubators. Certainly in the in the u. K. Alone they kind of they kind of centers and surfaces before they buy clothes play baseball and. Something that doesnt happen that people have a feel of risk because theyve not gone to these places but theres theres always a risk with this because its kind of a balance isnt a relation if you close the sun to prevent people from getting contaminated in whichever you know picking a virus as but actually if i knew your face an increased risk to people especially isolated stimulation that they need to kyras the families have got to break that they might desperately need to. Them to kind of stock up on the right reserve and do what they need to say there is is a risk with some of the kind of a catalyst for those. Yes theres a risk people like iron and cuts because edge but theres a massive risk and. They dont know if. They do they fail to be declining in their abilities. On time. Every time it will well have to leave it there sorry were running out of time it was protested having you on the show thank you very much thank you for. And time to look at your questions about the corona virus he is our science guy there. Are more confused than ever is the virus list didley than we once thought but more contagious. These are actually 2 separate questions on going to split them up on whether a source code 2 is less deadly than we once thought id say yes remembering back to the early days of the outbreak i recall estimates saying code 1000 might kill up to 5 percent of the people who contract it dead or even more since then Testing Programs that pram dopping were detecting many more asymptomatic or mild cases and weve also gotten a lot better at treating people who develop severe forms of the disease so although of course the overall death toll continues to rise as huge numbers of people are now infected every day and the percentage of those infections that end in death is actually much smaller than we once thought most experts now believe that if a 1000 people catch covert 19 it will kill somewhere between 5. 10 of them which is still pretty deadly much more so than think currently circulating strains of flu. Second question is it more or less contagious than we once thought well contagiousness unfortunately cant be pinned down with any real accuracy because it isnt a fixed quantity its affected by by a range of factors not just involving what the virus does in our bodies but also what we do to try to prevent the virus from getting into our bodies and factors like social distancing or Wearing Masks rising herd immunity also affects the metrics we use to judge things like this but but in most places that still far from making much of a difference the most you can really say i think is that when trying to compare sars hooved to use transmissibility at the start of the pandemic to what weve learned over time it might look like it goes up or down but exactly how much those changes are due to the viruses in 8 contagiousness and how much is due to other factors like Pandemic Response nobody i read could provide that answer. And a quick look at the latest data from over 200 countries shows new cases have doubled in 23 nations and increased in another 80 countries stayed at the same level in 9 countries 72 nations have seen a new positive cope with 1000 cases for some want another 17 hugging and 8 countries have reported no new cases for 4 weeks in a row heres the bug graph stacked up against the statistics of the last weeks the battle is won when that whole chart is blue is the way to go.
