Location threatening thousands of jobs. And a race against time to save taiwan is a unique flora on the rapid advance of human development. Im Kyra Phillips and welcome to the show show us a President Donald Trump has returned to the white house after leaving the hospital where he was being treated for a covert at 19. Wearing a mask or troubled walked out of the Walter Reed Medical Center in maryland hed been admitted at last friday and spent 4 days there in the care of his medical Team President was then flown by helicopter on the shore trip back to washington from across of the white house lawn and mounted the steps which made a point of removing his mask was later quoted as saying he was feeling fine. The president had earlier tweeted that hed be quote back on the campaign trail soon in another short message he said quote dont be afraid of dont let it dominate your life he also claims that he was feeling better than he has for 20 years. With trump downplaying the severity of the disease i asked our washington correspondent stuff and simons to tell us how covert 1000 is in fact affecting day to day life in the United States. From where i am every day between 800 or 708000 americans die from where i am thousands are out of work a 1000000 out of work 60000 people lost work just in the other few days 34 days ago airlines are shutting down again laying off 30000 Disney Disney and disney resorts and always comes with it is laying off permanently 20000 people people have to say goodbye to their loved ones mia cell phone before they then die and then they never can see them being buried and people get still sick and people still die and america is still wrecked in a pandemic lets not kid ourselves this is all good and great that the president is well taken care of and he serves deserves to be well taken care off hes the president of the United States but what we see now here dont be afraid of colditz. I dont have actually any words but i talk to a lot of people and those people i talk to and those are. Political observers lets say and party goers from both sides of the aisle republican and democrats they are kind of in shock and awe today what they just saw you have the president arriving at the white house of a statesmans lee american flags hello im back. Frankly unbelievable for many and for a lot of people angry. Political observers experts who are in the thick of political reporting in the white house and or in think tanks being outright angry and saying hes a lunatic calling the president a lunatic for pulling all 40 pulled off just now so i dont know if that describes what or answers the question you asked but its a very very very interesting day today in washington again. As our washington correspondent Stephanie Simons there now lets take a closer look at the medical side of things and cross to William Schaffner a professor of medicine at the division of Infectious Diseases at Vanderbilt University in nashville tennessee has left hospital to continue his recovery at the white house what do we know about the course of his treatment that hes received so far but we dont know nearly enough we miss many details we do know this raised eyebrows that at least on 2 occasions his oxygen concentration dropped quite low and he needed supplemental oxygen we dont know what was shown on his chest x. Ray or chest catskin did he have an ammonia or not we dont know that and so the status of his health right now is still uncertain he looks fairly vigorous and thats all to the good we like to see that however cold it can be a very sneaky infection you can look very well for 345 days and then you can still crash and you can get very very seriously sick so i hope hes being very carefully monitored and watched by his doctors and medical team thats right president the president s doctor has said a trump is doing better but hes not quote out of the woods yet. You just mentioned the usual timeline of the disease because you give us an idea of what some of the long term effects could be. Long term effects were just learning about but we already know some people can have injuries to their heart others can have a whole series of relatively speaking minor complaints feeling fatigued aches and pains headaches sometimes not Clear Thinking entirely clearly these are things also the president will have to watch for as well as his medical team Going Forward and before leaving hospital and trump tweeted that people should not be afraid of coke in 1900 as a doctor how does that sit with you. I was speechless i would say be very afraid be very afraid covert kills as stefan said about a 1000 people a day in the United States its killed over 200000 it has just ended the economy many people out of jobs. Is the illness about which were still learning we dont know how completely bad this virus is so this is a virus you really should respect every person in the United States should get up in the morning and when they leave put on their mask we need a national coherent code control policy which we have not had to date all right professor William Schaffner at Vanderbilt University thank you very much.
