Period of a few days, i guess thats the real test. Well be seeing what happens over those next couple of days. So that is what we are hearing from the president. We are also getting a peek into how he is conducting business. The white house released photos to support the claim that mr. Trump is still at work. But heres where it starts getting unclear. Shortly afterward, an Administration Source gave journalists a lesspositive report, saying mr. Trumps vital signs were, quote, very concerning and that the next 48 hours would be critical. That source has been identified by the New York Times and Associated Press as white house chief of staff mark meadows. Later saturday, meadows had a more optimistic message for fox news. The doctors exactly right. He is doing extremely well, in fact, im, im very, very optimistic, based on the current results, and, as the intere. Doctor said, the next 48 hours with the history of this virus can be tough, but hes made unbelievable improvement from yesterday morning when i know a number of us, the doctor and i, were very concerned. Then there is the president s physician, dr. Sean conley. A white house source confirms mr. Trump had supplemental oxygen since his illness started. But dr. Conley was evasive when asked about it. Has he ever been on supplemental oxygen . He, right now he is not on oxygen. I know you keep saying right now. Should we read into the fact that he had been previously . Yesterday and today he was not on oxygen. So he has not been on it during his covid treatment. He is not on oxygen right now. Dr. Conley also needed to clear up confusion about the timeline regarding President Trumps diagnosis. Cnns Sarah Westwood is live from Walter Reed Medical Center in bethesda, maryland. Before we get to that, what is the latest on the president s condition and the treatments hes receiving . Natalie, the latest on the president s condition comes from a memo released by his physician, dr. Sean conley this evening. He said the president has made substantial progress since his diagnosis with covid19 and that trump received his second dose of remdesivir this evening without complication, that he went into the night still having no temperature. That came, as you mentioned, after a day of confusion and mixed signals from this white house about the president s condition. That really started around 11 00 a. M. This morning when dr. Conley and the president s other care providers came out and briefed reporters here at walter reed. Dr. Conley and the others painted a really rosy picture of how trump has been doing since he arrived at walter reed but also yesterday before he was hospitalized. But just moments after that rescon french had ended, a source familiar with the president s condition told reporters that trump had experienced quote, very concerning symptoms in the hours before he was hospitalized here at walter reed. So not a lot of clarity about what the president was experiencing while he was at the white house friday. There was also confusion because of comments that dr. Conley made that made it seem that perhaps the white house hadnt been truthful about exactly when the president received his positive diagnosis and when he began treatment. The white house hasnt exactly been forthcoming about that in the days leading up to it. But dr. Conley was forced to come out with a clarifying statement and said he misspoke when he talked about the timeline of the president s illness which is still unclear. Meanwhile, the white house medical unit is continuing its Contact Tracing for aides and advisers who may have come into contact with the president s inner circle who have tested positive, and thats a growing list, like the first lady, Kellyanne Conway and Chris Christie have announced that they, too, are positive because of this outbreak around the president. Three republican senators have also tested positive, with is that right ron johnson becoming the third today unveiling his positive diagnosis. Other lawmakers, aides, advisers are also awaiting the results thereof tests. So we still dont know the extent of the outbreak that sickened the president right now, natalie. Yes, certainly, we all hope that moving forward well get more transparency from the president s medical team on how hes doing. Sarah westwood for us there outside the hospital. Thanks, sarah. Lets talk more about the president s condition with dr. Scott miss coe vich, a National Consultant and pioneered popup testing in hawaii. He joins me now live from hawaii. Hello, interesdoctor, thanks fog on. How are you tonight . Im well, thank you for asking. The president says hell know in a couple of days how hes doing and that the doctor says hes not out of the woods. As we just heard, kind of tricky to know exactly how he is faring, since the doctor has not been that forthcoming with details. What do you flake what youre hearing about did . From what were hearing about the disease, there are many days. The average number of days before someone is admitted to the intention self care unit is ten to 12 days. The way this disease destroys the lung tissue over time, that lung strdestruction will lead t shortness of breath, thats why those questions about is he on oxygen or not, those are very important. Because that is a sign that there is worsening damage to the lung tissue. Hes far from being out of the woods right now. We know his chief of staff said that his vital signs were very concerning. What does that tell you . Again, when we look at one thing that we follow closely, its whats called the oxygen saturation, that little monitor thats put on your finger, and it tells you how much oxygen youre getting into your bloodstream. Also you look at the heart rate. As youre struggling for oxygen your heart rate will go up and the oxygen level will droop. That can happen, its very common weal s commo common weal see in 36 hours people will go from normal to being in the icu. What does it indicate to you, also, doctor, that the president is on a fiveday course of remdesivir . Thats probably fairly standard. You know, well see that going on. Remember remdesivir, people have been on tamiflu when they have the flu. Thats a standard antiviral. Most of us really raised our eyebrows when we knew he was put on the regeneron treatment, which was very experimental and only 275 patients had ever received it, and a lot of us were like, really . I mean, i would not give it to my family, so, to be that experimental and be given it is something we all looked at. You have diagnosed and followed some 3,000 covid positive patients who have recovered. Assuming the president recovers, what will his recovery look like . What can he expect . You know, that is a question i think the country needs to start addressing, because the number one thing were seeing in post Covid Patients who are hospitalized is extreme fatigue. So over half of them are having extreme fatigue. The second thing were seeing is shortness of breath where i mean he probably is not going to be able to walk that easily from the rose garden to the helicopter. Heres one that bothers me a lot. Were starting to see upwards of about a quarter will have some degree of memory loss. And some types of confusion. Theyll have mood disdur banks and sleep disturbances. So thats something i think as a country we have to understand if our commander in chief is experiencing these very common and symptoms that were seeing across the world, what do we do . Yes, that sounds bleak. And we know that he has conditions that could contribute to his recovery. His sageage is a factor, his he and his obesity. Yes, a lot of us, as soon as he was diagnosed have put together our Expert Opinions and i think consensus is that someone of his age with those conditions had at least and still has at least an 8 mortality from this, you know, at 70 with those three conditions that we know of, lets put it that way. He would be in that 8 pur , posy up to 10 depending on how he would change. Again, oxidation is key. The other one that we have, damages to the brain that can occur with what we call thrombosis. Minor blood clots can occur and that can lead to memory changes and small strokes. So theres still so many possible problems that can occur at this stage. We just dont know. I want to ask you and refer back to the thousands of people that you have treated that you have seen with positive cases, and im sure many of those folks didnt think they were going to get covid, took precautions, maybe some didnt. And how do you think this president might be changed emotionally after going through this, and we certainly know that he did a lot of disregarding the coronavirus leading up to him getting it. Well, you know, again, its a great question, because one of the things were looking in the Covid Recovery patients is just their emotional status. And there is a lot of depression. And were finding that people, if theyve been in the hospital four a period of time, they might have some ptsd because it is a near death experience, and it is an experience that affects you psychologically. Now how our president , hes obviously a different person than a lot of normal people and how hell be behind the scenes versus to the public, thats hard to say. I also wonder, you know, as his wife has the disease at the same time, as a couple, gosh, thats going to present some real interesting challenges in relationship, emotions and how you respond to others. Hopefully the white house has woken up and takes their security for, you know, Wearing Masks and doing testing a lot more seriously right now. We certainly hope so. Thank you so much for your time and your expertise, dr. Scott miss coe vich, and thank you four all of wh for all of what you do for us. Thank you for having me. Donald trumps diagnosis is having a big impact on the joe Biden Campaign. Coming up here, what the president s political rival is changing as he looks to win the white house. Ain better .

We know now, you get a potential super spreader event. The one were talking about right here, features several of the most powerful people in the u. S. Government. Last saturday, President Trump held this ceremony in the white house rose garden to announce his nomination for the Supreme Court, amy coney barrett, who was there with her children. Dr. Sanjay gupta shows us how this event became dangerous. [ applause ] what youre looking at is the origins of a likely super spreader event. At least eight people, including President Trump himself are now infected. That is among those whove had the ability to actually get tested. You cant see the virus, but what is happening during a super spreading event . Its a very rough analogy. When you think of a campfire, thats a person infected and releasing virus. Its not like the ring around the person that is going to be the risk. Its those that are on the side where more of the virus is being projected, either through being talking or through the breeze, the air thats blowing it there. But it was also these moments that caught cnn medical analysts eye. When the event finished, when theyre all coming up and hugging and shake being hands and saying congratulations, thats where, if i was a betting person, i would be putting my money on where this occurred. We know that the safety protocol for the event was to test anyone in close proximity to the president , but it wasnt required for everyone attending the ceremony, and it clearly wasnt foolproof. Again, take a look here where the people who were diagnosed as positive were sitting. Not next to each other. Which leads us to again look at what happened right before and right after. Kellyanne conway, closely leaning in to speak with attorney general william barr, lots of people closely interacting with their guard down. It can be difficult to pinpoint these super spreader events. This one ceremony, though, is giving us a look at the anatomy of how it happens all the time. Not just here but anytime people aggregate together in large groups in the middle of a pandemic. Theres no doubt that there has been transmission at the protests, the political rallies. Its just a fact that the virus doesnt discriminate. Just because we have it documented doesnt mean it hasnt happened. Its just that weve got an event now that is very visible, welldocumented, welltested, and were seeing the outcome from it. Dr. Sanjay gupta, cnn. The spread of the coronavirus could jeopardize a quick confirmation four mr. Trumps Supreme Court pick. Two members of the Senate Judiciary committee have tested positive, and thats raising questions about a swift vote on barretts nomination. Phil mattingly has more from capitol hill. Its not just the white house grappling with the magnitude of this moment. The president testing positive for coronavirus, now capitol hill where three republican is that rights have tested positive. There are Public Health issues there, figuring out how those senators are going to deal with did. Two have reported mild symptoms many a third believes hes asymptomatic. Theres also the question of what happens on a massive issue, the nomination of amy coney barrett. They want her confirmed before the election. In fact, hearings are already scheduled, scheduled to start october 12th. Two of the three republicans senators, theyre on the committee that will move forward on that none natiomination. They will need to be present, likely starting the process on october 15th. The big question now is two foile fold, will those senators be okay, and be able to come back. This is what unsettles everyone else, is anybody else going to get sick . Right now they dont have answers to those questions. While theyve made very clear they want to move forward on the nomination, this could change the calculation. Sources tell cnn that all of this has joe biden planning to get tested more often. The nominee himself says he did not want to attack the president and of course the first lady but that he would have handled the pandemic fundamentally differently. Here he is. For so long, washington left our states, cities and transit agencies to bid against one noir, if thats not the president s responsibility, what the hell, what the heck is his responsibility . Not my fault, i have no responsibility. Go to your mayor, your governor, your employer, its unconscionable. For more now on the Biden Campaign, heres cnns arlette saenz. Reporter joe biden will be tested more regularly for coronavirus. This follows the news that President Trump tested positive for coronavirus as well as several other people in his orbit. Now the Biden Campaign says they will release the results of the test each time he is tested. Biden last received his last negative test results on friday and told reporters that while he wasnt tested on saturday, he will be tested for coronavirus on sunday morning. The Biden Campaign has always adhered so social distancing and Safety Standards at his Campaign Events. Officials believe the way theyve structured these events have promoted health and safety not just for their candidates but those involved in the events and the general public. Biden is always wearing a mask at these events, and they have people at social distances from even other and him. Those are protocols that they plan to move forward with as he continues to campaign in person. On monday, biden is heading to south florida, and on thursday, he will travel to arizona. His first visit to the Battle Ground state, and his running mate, Kamala Harris will also be joining him. Now Kamala Harris is set to face off against Vice President mike pence in their first debate on wednesday, and were learning there have been some changes to the way that debate will play out. The two candidates will be seated down for that debate. And originally were only slated to be seated seven feet apart. They will now be 12 feet apart from each other as this debate plays out. Weve also learned that masks will be required for everyone in that debate hall except for the two candidates and the moderators. This follows tuesday nights president ial debate when many in the audience on the trump side were not Wearing Masks. But going forward, anyone in that debate hall must wear a mask. If they fail to do so, they will be asked to leave. Just one of the many changes occurring in this campaign due to the coronavirus pandemic. Arlet arlette saenz. Many are warning that Vice President mike pence should selfisolate. He has tested negative since the president s diagnosis. On monday he will
