Thank you as well prominent pastor in Southern California says that he has tested positive for covid19 greg laurie is the pastor of the megachurch Harvest Christian Fellowship he was at the rose garden event last month when President Trump announced the Supreme Court nomination of Amy Coney Barrett in a twitter video today lori says that he is experiencing fatigue aches a fever and a loss of taste. And i i just pushed at a time like this we can not politicize Something Like this and show compassion to people and are struggling with this its real it really is a pandemic that has swept our nation and even the world i mean if the president of the United States can get it obviously anybody can get it, but with gods help in your i expect to get through this. Lori tested positive for covid19 night as we said on friday says that he and his wife have sent quarantine. Joining us now doctor, Peter Chinhong Infectious Disease physician at ucsf. Thank you for being with us doctor we are such a polarized nation eu their watch fox news or msnbc but after this whirlwind few days with the diagnosis end hospitalization. Do you think anything has changed for most americans and should anything have changed. Think hopefully grant that america unifies behind you protecting themselves their families their loved ones and the community by realizing that covid doesnt care if youre rich or youre poor or. Way you and were all equal opportunity. I think it really is incumbent upon us here. Do this its not going to go away its not something that they are victorious about im very humble about covid im surprised by much of the body and i mean long term complications they are from covid so not a walk in the park not over yet embers in the far as and thus waiting to flame up again. Doctors a medical professional what one whats your feeling about releasing the president to go back to the white house albeit a very you mean its almost like being in the hospital but but he is is certainly early in the game to to be released. I do want to put words in your mouth, but. To lay out what your read. Thats a great question here. I mean i think bring the weekend i was a little bit more pessimistic that he can leave too. What is essentially an you know a somewhat of a hospital at the white house it was going home my home, he wouldnt able to be discharged me this charge patients usually on remdesivir air you have to stay in the hospital to get money in your kidneys and liver. They can get it at the white house they can do lives you just being there. I think i would over the weekend a day 7 to because thats when the second phase might jump in. And as long as hes prepared from possibly getting free admission to walter e i think its ok i also worry that hes not going to Infection Control yes to be really isolated so not just in quarantine hes positive so hes going to be infectious the tendency in fact the city she says at least 10 days of isolation from mild disease. If we say as moderate or severe disease to be 20 days of isolation. Unless they do some specific new age like lets hats to show that the wind and that acting is not viable. So those are the that i have worry about its cause deep inside. Our is about the people he comes into contact with because yes protects them from what might potentially infectious covid. Comedian seth meyers a bit tonight and ill just read this to you the president of course has been saying dont be afraid of covid meyer says of of course you can say dont be afraid of covid give the best taxpayer funded medical care in the world. Its easy to say dont be afraid to jump out of this plane when youre the only one with a parachute is that just anti trump are comedian doing his thing or is that fair. I think theres some truth in that theres so much i mean what covid highlighted to me and to many of my colleagues i think all the u. S. Is that theres such big disparities in health care and covid just made those louder i think youre completely right many of us may not have been eligible to get all of the care that President Trump get got starting cocktail of antibodies. I think those are not available to most people and sadly to those where its available. Its only available in context of a clinical trial. So you know. Not many people counting. Dont even know that they have covid are having i dont know how to get a diagnosis so they present late. So again they dont have the luxury of the the tremendous care that hes gotten and not everyone is the same. So doctor i dont the take away it seems from the president s message here is that you know dont be afraid of covid so hes taking his mask off and he the ability to use all cutting therapies i would imagine the best advice is not to get it in the first place and if you have a recommendation tonight, what would you tell our our viewers. Yes, you dont want to get covid its not im walking in part its not really about whether or not you live or die weve been Getting Better at not having as many people dying more we have better therapies va we know to take care of people in the icu when you get covid its not easy you have you you feel a lot of work youre out of work youre not weeks and ill be surprised the president bounce to spock you know you can temporarily got better when you are on steroids feel like on top of the world even a little bit youre for it. Some hoping that thats not really why his temporary recovery is but for many patients i see a covid if it lingers a sentence linger for quite a while and there is a month Mental Health record questions as well. I know youll be speculating here, but no ones going to sue you if youre wrong. How long do you think until the president is back on the campaign trail as hes tweeting out that he is keen to safety. Well i hope that the Public Health authorities dont allow him to it unless they can establish that hes not in fact just again. Its obviously hes not infectious is not a normal thing we would do for regular patient. We would give them time based right here and so again like i said 10 days and far mild disease. 20 days for a moderate to severe i think most of my colleagues were discussing that the what if President Trump with nation. They wouldnt let him move around to society unless it was 20 days out from his illness. Whether not he obeys i dont that will be the question whether he gets a specific special test. Thats going to be interesting in the future as well. Well i want to make note here that we have not really heard from doctor Anthony Fauci who is of course of the leader in this regard. Its so good to hear from you tonight or doctor, Peter Chan Hong i ucsf Infectious Disease physician, thank you so much for joining us. Thanks hickey.
