Trevor, good morning. Reporter whether or not the president is sick, the threat of the spread is still there. The white house is notably upping its precaution. The Vice President sent out an email to the entire staff urging them to avoid physical contact and every journalist there, all of us had our temperatures taken before we could attend saturdays briefing. According to his personal doctor, President Trumps covid19 test is negative, the result released hours after the president spoke saturday in the Briefing Room where he joked about his temperature. By the way, i had my temperature taken coming into the room. You did lets compare. Do you want to compare . Was your temperature normal . Totally normal.

And now questions are also lingering about one of the president s statements from friday when he touted an upcoming nationwide program being built by google. Its going to be very quickly done, unlike websites of the past, to determine whether a test is warranted and to facilitate testing at a nearby convenient location. Reporter but a half hour after that event, google tweeting a statement on behalf of their Sister Company saying, the project is in the early stages of development and planning to roll testing out in the bay area, with the hope of expanding more broadly over time. When asked about the discrepancy saturday, the Vice President promising an update today. Were working literally around the clock. But tomorrow, 5 00, well have very specific description tomorrow about when the website will be available. Now, overnight, google did issue a new statement saying it was creating a separate home page promotion in order to, quote, promote greater awareness of simple measures citizens can take to prevent the spread of covid19. They talked about symptoms, risk and treatment, but they have not given a time line on when that would be available nationwide, dan. Thank you very much, trevor. So much to talk about. So many questions. Lets bring in our expert, our chief medical correspondent, dr. Jennifer ashton. Lets start, jen, with the covid19 test the president took its negative. Is he out of the woods . Well, heres the difficult thing about the testing. Right now we dont totally know how this virus behaves in terms of the asymptomatic period. Can people develop symptoms after a certain time . What we do know just published in the last week, the average incubation is 5. 2 days and by 11 days 97 of people who convert to positive have done so by day 11. We also know that people can have coronavirus and not show symptoms and we know that some percentage cant have a fever. When to test, how often to test, is still being worked out. Its a new virus. Yes. French Officials Say theres been a rapid increase of serious cases, including 300 in intensive care, and half of those are under the age of 60. I think a lot of people have this idea that this mostly affects older people. Yep, yep, yep, and were hearing that locally as well, eva. Both here in new york state, and from fphysicians in washington and seattle. So we need to be clear. Yes, the majority of cases serious cases and deaths occur in older people, but we are seeing younger people and previously Healthy People become ill, ill enough to be hospitalized with this. It doesnt mean its the more like lly group, but we are seei it. And jen, were also seeing hospitals canceling elective surgeries. What does that mean not only for hospitals but for patients trying to get this done . This is evolving, whit. We saw the American College of surgeons on friday come out with a statement on friday recommending the postponement or rescheduling of all elective surgeries. New york Presbyterian Hospital in new york issued a statement saying they are postponing and rescheduling elective this is for one to two months. Things like mammograms, colonoscopies for elective reason, recommendations to postpone. This is part of the Emergency Management plan. We need to unburden all of these healthcare facilities. Protect the population and get ready for an influx of patients unfortunately. Dr. Jen ashton, thank you so much. Well have you back to answer those viewer questions in the next half hour. This pandemic has now led two u. S. States, georgia and louisiana to delay president ial primaries and the latest democratic debate coming up tonight is going on but not as planned. Its being held in washington, d. C. , instead of arizona, and there will be no audience in studio. Abcs rachel scott is in d. C. With more. Good morning to you, rachel. Reporter eva, good morning. The coronavirus has not only altered the plans for tonights democratic debate. It is also expected to take center stage. Former Vice President joe biden and Bernie Sanders will face off in their oneonone matchup. Amid a National Emergency and without a live audience. Tonights debate was moved from phoenix, arizona, to right here in washington, d. C. , to limit crosscountry travel. There will be no live audience, not even a spin room. But it will be one of the last opportunities for these candidates to make their pitch before the next round of contests. On tuesday, nearly 600 delegates will be up for grabs and both of these candidates have largely been forced off of the campaign trail, canceling the rallies and door knocking instead turning to virtual town halls and Campaign Events to get their message out. Eva . Now voters in four states will head to the polls on tuesday. But other states arent taking the chance . Reporter thats right, eva. Both louisiana and georgia have now delayed their primaries. Sta state Officials Say theyre concerned about two things turnout but also the health and safety of voters. They want as many people to come out and vote as possible but dont want them to compromise their safety to cast their ballot. Eva . Rachel scott for us. Dan, over to you. Thank you, rachel. Lets bring in abcs jon karl who will be hosting this week later this morning. Jon, good morning. Lets talk about this impact on the democratic race. Is Bernie Sanders in a position he cant fully recover and get the nomination but can however do a lot of damage to joe biden in the meantime . And does the postponement of the primaries only prolong that process . And i guess on top of all that, does any of this matter when most of the country is paying attention to the coronavirus . It will be one of those two because one of them will be going up against donald trump in the general election. Dan, it was already going to be a very tough road for Bernie Sanders to catch up. Now we have four primaries on tuesday, these are four states, big states, were talking about florida, ohio, illinois, arizona, voting on tuesday. Those havent been postponed. Four states that sanders has lost. And where hes behind now. So he biden is looking more and more like a presumptive nominee. Sanders would have to really come back, and its very hard to do that when you cant hold rallies. You cant hold big public events. The debate is going forward, but unste instead of being out in arizona with a live audience, it will be here in washington, d. C. In a cnn studio with no audience. Lets look back at President Trump. Hes taken so much heat. Let me show you the headline of the washington post. Infighting, missteps and a soninlaw hungry for action inside trump administrations troubled response. Is this a real political problem for the president . Or are most people not paying attention to the politics here, just the Health Threat . Well, i think the overwhelming majority of people looking at this are looking at the health try trying to see what they need do to protect themselves, their neighbors and their families. The politics will come later. Its come now for some. But for the overwhelming majority of people it will come later. But look, this may be a defining moment for the trump presidency, its certainly the biggest crisis hs face. And how he handles this will be something on voters minds in november. Jon, we really appreciate your analysis on a sunday morning. Thank you very much. I want to remind everyone, tune in later this morning to this week, jon will go oneonone with dr. Anthony fauci, a key figure in all this, and treasury secretary steve mnuchin. Plus, the powerhouse roundtable. Will debating the president s response to covid19 and whats next in the 2020 race. Its all coming up later this morning on this week. And while i have you, a reminder for the latest on all the news in this very busy time, tune into our new streaming service, abc newslive. A check of the forecast with rob marciano. It hasnt felt like much of a winter on the east coast. Other parts of the country, different story. This is a great time to go skiing this time of year. Spring skiing or powder, but 50 or more resort have closed in the past day or so because of the virus. Folks getting up to lake tahoe, stalk on i80.

The best way to fight fear of the coronavirus is with some sound medical knowledge. And our chief medical correspondent dr. Jen ashton joins us once again to answer some of these Great Questions we have been getting from our viewers. We have been getting thousands of them, so lets get right to it. Linda on facebook asks, if you are elderly but in good health with no preexisting conditions, are you still considered high risk . Thats a great question. So many people asking about these highrisk, vulnerable populations. The short answer is yes, because we know as we age our immune system becomes less robust. Of course, if you have a preexisting medical condition, heart disease, lung disease, kidney disease, diabetes, high Blood Pressure among some of them, yes, it puts you at higher risk, but to be clear, whit, as we just said a few minutes ago, were also seeing occasionally some young people become critically ill with pneumonia here. The thinking is they have such a robust immune response that that can overwhelm, you know, their pulmonary system, but were still learning more and more about this virus and who is at greatest risk. Absolutely important for everybody to really take precautions. We have the next question. If you do get the virus and you need to stay home, to you do you know its safe . Okay. So great youre asking this question. If you do get the virus with symptoms and stay home, how do you know when its safe to leave. Erring on that twoweek mark is a good rule of thumb. We should mention, whit, were hearing a lot about the death count go up. Over 73,000 people have recovered thus far from the coronavirus. Its important. Theres still some unknowns about whether you can get it again, right . There are at least two strains of this like there are several strains of influenza or the flu, so you cannot get the same strain again, but its possible to get i. One more question to squeeze in. Michelle wants to know, what should my cleaning routine be like . If you havent been outside, do you need to continually keep cleaning . Were never going to have a Clean Environment as we do right now. New data out suggests that the virus can live up to 24 hours on card board, up to three days on plastic or stainless steel. If you havent been out a lot, your cleaning will be different than if you are in a high traffic area. We cant live in a sterile environment. The hot spots right now, it just makes sense. We appreciate it. Thank you. Coming up here on Good Morning America, students in canceled School Performances are now finding a worldwide audience thanks to a broadway star. Broadway star. O lower my blood sugar and a1c. Because i can still make my own insulin. And trulicity activates my body to release it like its supposed to. Trulicity is for people with type 2 diabetes. Its not insulin. I take it once a week. It starts acting in my body from the first dose. Trulicity isnt for people with type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis. Dont take trulicity if youre allergic to it, you or your family have medullary thyroid cancer, or have multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2.

Taking trulicity with a sulfonylurea or insulin increases low blood sugar risk. Side effects include nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, belly pain, and decreased appetite, which lead to dehydration and may worsen kidney problems. I have it within me to lower my a1c.
