1 00:00:01,160 --> 00:00:05,960 Speaker 1: Welcome to Prognosis. I'm Laura Carlson. It's stay two hundred 2 00:00:06,040 --> 00:00:11,520 Speaker 1: and five since coronavirus was declared a global pandemic. Today's 3 00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:15,480 Speaker 1: main story. It would be difficult by now to escape 4 00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:18,759 Speaker 1: the news that US President Donald Trump and his wife 5 00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:23,400 Speaker 1: Malania have tested positive for the coronavirus. What we still 6 00:00:23,720 --> 00:00:26,520 Speaker 1: don't know is what this means for the President's health 7 00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:32,479 Speaker 1: and for an election that's just weeks away. But first, 8 00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:43,240 Speaker 1: here's what else happened in virus news today. US job 9 00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:47,960 Speaker 1: gains slowed in September, and many Americans quit looking for work. 10 00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:51,680 Speaker 1: It's a sign that the economic recovery is slowing down. 11 00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:56,600 Speaker 1: The virus continues to rage, and neither a vaccine nor 12 00:00:56,720 --> 00:01:01,280 Speaker 1: a fresh round of government aid are expected soon. The 13 00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:05,680 Speaker 1: economy added six hundred and sixty one thousand new jobs. 14 00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:10,240 Speaker 1: Economists had forecast a gain of eight hundred and fifty 15 00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:15,000 Speaker 1: nine thousand. The unemployment rate fell slightly to seven point 16 00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:21,399 Speaker 1: nine percent, but labor force participation also fell. US House 17 00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:25,800 Speaker 1: Speaker Nancy Pelosi said negotiations a new stimulus with the 18 00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:29,600 Speaker 1: White House will press ahead, and that Trump's COVID nineteen 19 00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:34,039 Speaker 1: diagnosis might change the tenor of the talks by emphasizing 20 00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:39,720 Speaker 1: the seriousness of the pandemic. Pelosi and Treasury Secretary Stephen 21 00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:44,400 Speaker 1: Manuchin exchanged proposals on a virus relief package Thursday night 22 00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:48,360 Speaker 1: and spoke by telephone on Friday, but it was unclear 23 00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:53,080 Speaker 1: whether that included discussion about the stimulus. The Speaker and 24 00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:57,840 Speaker 1: other Democrats have accused Senate Republicans and the White House 25 00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:02,280 Speaker 1: of not recognizing the stint of damage that the coronavirus 26 00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:07,520 Speaker 1: pandemic has caused and how big a threat remains. On 27 00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:15,240 Speaker 1: MSNBC Today, Pelosi said, quote, this kind of changes the dynamic. Finally, 28 00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:19,280 Speaker 1: astra Zenica's clinical trial for its COVID nineteen vaccine has 29 00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:24,000 Speaker 1: resumed in Japan, adding to earlier restarts around the world. 30 00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:28,880 Speaker 1: According to a statement from the drug maker, regulators have 31 00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:32,000 Speaker 1: deemed trials to be safe after a participant became ill 32 00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:37,040 Speaker 1: last month, triggering a voluntary pause. According to astra Zenica, 33 00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:41,600 Speaker 1: tests have restarted now in the UK, Brazil, South Africa, 34 00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:45,360 Speaker 1: and India. The Food and Drug Administration has yet to 35 00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:49,760 Speaker 1: make a decision regarding the resumption of a US based trial. 36 00:02:55,639 --> 00:03:00,239 Speaker 1: And now, for today's main story, President Donald Trump's diagnosis 37 00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:04,240 Speaker 1: of coronavirus has raised questions about everything from the Supreme 38 00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:08,880 Speaker 1: Court nomination process, to the possibility of future presidential debates, 39 00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:14,440 Speaker 1: and of course, the unprecedented possibility of a candidate being 40 00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:18,040 Speaker 1: removed from the ticket this late in an election year, 41 00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:22,799 Speaker 1: with so many questions and so few answers, I spoke 42 00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:27,280 Speaker 1: to Drew Armstrong, Senior editor for Healthcare and Healthcare reporter 43 00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:31,359 Speaker 1: Michelle fake Cortets to discuss what we know and still 44 00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:36,640 Speaker 1: don't know about what happens next. Michelle, I was wondering 45 00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:40,440 Speaker 1: if you might just very briefly sketch a timeline for 46 00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:43,560 Speaker 1: us in terms of how we discovered that President Trump 47 00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:47,680 Speaker 1: and the First Lady had tested positive for coronavirus. President 48 00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:52,280 Speaker 1: Trump learned early on Thursday that his close advisor Hope Hicks, 49 00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:56,520 Speaker 1: had tested positive for coronavirus. Now you'll remember that everyone 50 00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:58,720 Speaker 1: in the White House is tested every single day for 51 00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:01,040 Speaker 1: coronavirus to make sure that they are not going to 52 00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:05,400 Speaker 1: be exposing President Trump to the pathogen. In this particular case, 53 00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:11,080 Speaker 1: Hope Hicks tested negative early on Wednesday, and then Wednesday evening, 54 00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:15,120 Speaker 1: after a rally in Minnesota, she started feeling unwell and 55 00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:18,960 Speaker 1: she isolated herself on Air Force One. On Thursday morning, 56 00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:23,200 Speaker 1: the President learned that Hicks had tested positive, and he 57 00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:27,800 Speaker 1: himself then got tested rather than quarantining for the rest 58 00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:31,440 Speaker 1: of the day. However, he did continue with his activities 59 00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:36,240 Speaker 1: that included a rally and a fundraiser in New Jersey 60 00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:39,560 Speaker 1: on Thursday night. Later that evening, he found out that 61 00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:43,080 Speaker 1: he also had tested positive, along with his wife, First 62 00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:48,200 Speaker 1: Lady Milania Trump. And in terms of the gap between 63 00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:50,560 Speaker 1: when we know that he was perhaps first exposed to 64 00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:54,120 Speaker 1: the virus and his positive test result, he was still 65 00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:56,920 Speaker 1: quite active, and he was at several events and in 66 00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:59,559 Speaker 1: contact with numerous people. Do we know or have any 67 00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:03,279 Speaker 1: idea about how many people he may have exposed to 68 00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:06,120 Speaker 1: this virus. I think that's one of the things that 69 00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:08,760 Speaker 1: the White House is trying to figure out right now. 70 00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:13,200 Speaker 1: We've obviously today seen news headline after news headline about 71 00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:16,600 Speaker 1: other officials who have tested negative, and a handful that 72 00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:19,640 Speaker 1: have tested positive who've been in contact either with Trump 73 00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:23,120 Speaker 1: with other people affiliated with the administration. Senator Mike Lee 74 00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:25,799 Speaker 1: of Utah, I think it was just announced has tested positive. 75 00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:28,839 Speaker 1: I'm sure that we'll see more of these going forward, 76 00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:30,920 Speaker 1: you know, I think it's worth keeping in mind with 77 00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:33,960 Speaker 1: how the White House protects the President and kind of 78 00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:37,440 Speaker 1: safeguards UH staff in the White House, they rely very 79 00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:42,200 Speaker 1: heavily on testing as opposed to mask wearing. Um, you know, 80 00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:45,000 Speaker 1: and I think the problem with that is that tests 81 00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:48,000 Speaker 1: are very very good at picking up infections that have 82 00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:53,960 Speaker 1: already happened. Um, there don't themselves prevent infections like social 83 00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,640 Speaker 1: distancing and mask wearing and things like that, which can 84 00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:59,120 Speaker 1: be quite effective in doing so. So it means that 85 00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:03,240 Speaker 1: even though you catch infections early on and stop the 86 00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:06,000 Speaker 1: spread that they could cause from getting worse or spreading 87 00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:08,440 Speaker 1: to more and more people, it's really more of a 88 00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:13,760 Speaker 1: limiting effect than a fully preventative one. And just in 89 00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:17,080 Speaker 1: terms of the test results coming back, is it too 90 00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:20,320 Speaker 1: early to tell just how many people may have been exposed. 91 00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:23,280 Speaker 1: It's almost certainly too early to know for sure how 92 00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:27,039 Speaker 1: many people may actually develop this In terms of I 93 00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:28,760 Speaker 1: think one of the things I want to draw distinction 94 00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:32,279 Speaker 1: between you mentioned the word exposed. When public health workers 95 00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:34,680 Speaker 1: do contact tracing, which is exactly what's going to be 96 00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:37,800 Speaker 1: going on at the White House right now, exposures what 97 00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:39,479 Speaker 1: they're looking for. You know, you're just looking to see 98 00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:42,840 Speaker 1: were you around somebody who had the disease. Just being 99 00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:46,279 Speaker 1: exposed doesn't mean you're going to get infected. Testing is 100 00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:49,080 Speaker 1: what's going to pick up the actual infections themselves, but 101 00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:51,039 Speaker 1: it can take a little while for the testing to 102 00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:54,599 Speaker 1: actually find those infections. Remember, people get more and more 103 00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:58,200 Speaker 1: virus in their system as an infection grows, and that's 104 00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:01,080 Speaker 1: when they begin to become something attic, which is another 105 00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:04,080 Speaker 1: way of noticing affection to trigger a reason for people 106 00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:07,000 Speaker 1: to go and get a test. And so it may 107 00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:09,840 Speaker 1: be that someone who was just exposed and doesn't have 108 00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:11,920 Speaker 1: an infection that's really taken hold, they might not have 109 00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:15,080 Speaker 1: enough virus for test to be able to detect yet um. 110 00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:18,040 Speaker 1: And it may be that they tested they were exposed, 111 00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:20,360 Speaker 1: they test negative early on, and then later they do 112 00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:23,600 Speaker 1: test positive. So just because we're seeing these headlines about 113 00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:27,960 Speaker 1: people uh testing negative for the virus today doesn't mean 114 00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:30,920 Speaker 1: that they're necessarily going to test negative for it tomorrow 115 00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:33,960 Speaker 1: or in the coming case. And Michelle, I was wondering 116 00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:36,600 Speaker 1: if you might go into just what we can know 117 00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:41,440 Speaker 1: so far about what President Trump is experiencing with regard 118 00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:47,040 Speaker 1: to the virus. Obviously, disinfection was caught very very early, 119 00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:50,760 Speaker 1: so he's showing some mild symptoms. At this point, we 120 00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:52,920 Speaker 1: don't know what the definition of mild is, and I 121 00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:54,800 Speaker 1: have a feeling that that's going to be a conversation 122 00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:56,720 Speaker 1: we're all going to be having quite a lot in 123 00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:59,600 Speaker 1: the coming days. But we do know that some people 124 00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:03,320 Speaker 1: pro rests and other people don't. So for the next 125 00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:05,640 Speaker 1: four to five days, doctors are telling me it's going 126 00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:07,480 Speaker 1: to be really critical to keep an eye on the 127 00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:11,160 Speaker 1: president to determine whether or not he is showing signs 128 00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:14,400 Speaker 1: of fever, whether he is showing any issues with some 129 00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:18,080 Speaker 1: early signs of breathing difficulty, whether or not he is 130 00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:23,560 Speaker 1: struggling with fatigue and just feeling unwell, and it could progress, 131 00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:27,360 Speaker 1: but we won't know for a couple of days. And 132 00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:30,640 Speaker 1: let's look at some of the more general risk factors 133 00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:35,040 Speaker 1: for President Trump in terms of his age and overall health. 134 00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:40,120 Speaker 1: I mean, how are those potentially affecting his his experience 135 00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:44,360 Speaker 1: of the virus. President Trump is absolutely in a higher 136 00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:48,719 Speaker 1: risk group. He's not only older, he also is overweight, 137 00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:51,800 Speaker 1: and he has some other signs of potential heart issues, 138 00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:56,640 Speaker 1: particularly when it comes to high cholesterol levels. On the 139 00:08:56,679 --> 00:09:00,600 Speaker 1: other hand, he has been pretty healthy in general. He 140 00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:05,720 Speaker 1: doesn't have other issues like any active heart problems, any 141 00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:09,040 Speaker 1: blood clotting problems. As a general rule, he is a 142 00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:13,520 Speaker 1: healthy He's a healthy guy. So most people, even in 143 00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:17,439 Speaker 1: the high risk groups, do survive this virus. Of course, 144 00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:20,720 Speaker 1: President Trump is not the first world leader to have 145 00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:23,640 Speaker 1: tested positive for the virus. We think of, of course, 146 00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:28,640 Speaker 1: Brazilian President Billsonaro and UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson. Is 147 00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:32,640 Speaker 1: there anything we can take from the other experiences of 148 00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:36,440 Speaker 1: coronavirus by world leaders? I think it's really hard to 149 00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:38,360 Speaker 1: figure this out. I mean, those are you know, it's 150 00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:41,280 Speaker 1: easy to lump those three in together because obviously all 151 00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:44,600 Speaker 1: three of them, UM, at some point or another work. Uh. 152 00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:49,120 Speaker 1: It was not that they weren't taking the virus particularly seriously. UM. 153 00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:53,040 Speaker 1: But the politics of each of those countries have meaningful differences, 154 00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:56,320 Speaker 1: and how they communicate about virus has meaningful differences. And 155 00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:58,880 Speaker 1: I think that it's a bit it's a bit difficult 156 00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:01,800 Speaker 1: to draw two to brush across what that tells us, 157 00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:03,760 Speaker 1: But it does tell us that if you don't take 158 00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:07,160 Speaker 1: this thing seriously, you do raise your risk of being infected. UM. 159 00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:08,960 Speaker 1: I think it is certainly telling that the three of 160 00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:13,160 Speaker 1: them did become UM infected UM, whereas other world leaders 161 00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:16,880 Speaker 1: have not. We are, of course, only a few weeks 162 00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:20,400 Speaker 1: out from the election. What does this positive test result 163 00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:24,600 Speaker 1: mean for Trump's campaign trail? Well, obviously, you know, we 164 00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:28,480 Speaker 1: are about a month away from the from election day. 165 00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:31,120 Speaker 1: Many people are voting now. I think it's also worth 166 00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:33,800 Speaker 1: noting that, you know, the pandemic and the virus has 167 00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:37,880 Speaker 1: been a huge issue in this campaign and particularly Trump's 168 00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:41,440 Speaker 1: response to it, and he has repeatedly played down the 169 00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:45,040 Speaker 1: severity of the virus UM. If you look at his 170 00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:48,280 Speaker 1: campaign rallies, people don't wear masks. There's certainly been some 171 00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:52,200 Speaker 1: controversy about the debate earlier this week where members of 172 00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:54,520 Speaker 1: the Trump campaign were at the debate we're not wearing masks, 173 00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:56,720 Speaker 1: against the advice of the Cleveland clinic that was running it. 174 00:10:57,040 --> 00:10:59,800 Speaker 1: And so there is a moment here that shows that, hey, 175 00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:02,880 Speaker 1: he can in fact be infected. Now. I think, you know, 176 00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:05,200 Speaker 1: one of the things that people may take away from 177 00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:08,360 Speaker 1: this is going to depend on how severe his case is. 178 00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:10,560 Speaker 1: And it's sort of grimm to think about that, but 179 00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:12,440 Speaker 1: you know, if he comes out of this with a 180 00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:15,320 Speaker 1: very mild case and comes out and then says, hey, 181 00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:18,080 Speaker 1: this was no big deal. Then some of his supporters 182 00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:19,400 Speaker 1: and other people are in the country may take a 183 00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:22,560 Speaker 1: very different lesson away from that. So I think this 184 00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:25,520 Speaker 1: is something that politically and from a public health standpoint, 185 00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:27,480 Speaker 1: really has yet to play out, and we're going to 186 00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:31,400 Speaker 1: find more about it in the coming days and beyond 187 00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:34,040 Speaker 1: the election. We're also in a full scale rush for 188 00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:37,760 Speaker 1: a vaccine. We're also waiting on another potential stimulus package. 189 00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:42,240 Speaker 1: How will President Trump's new COVID status potentially affect both 190 00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:45,320 Speaker 1: or either of these, Yes, certainly. I mean, you know, 191 00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:49,760 Speaker 1: Washington is all about meetings, FaceTime, getting things done. Obviously 192 00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:51,880 Speaker 1: a tremendous amount of business is being conducted just like 193 00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:54,760 Speaker 1: everyone else over resume and over phone right now. But 194 00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:57,640 Speaker 1: you know, I think it's this is certainly an event 195 00:11:57,720 --> 00:12:01,400 Speaker 1: that has disrupted just about everything going on um and 196 00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:03,440 Speaker 1: it's gonna it is gonna slow things down, is going 197 00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:07,320 Speaker 1: to cause people to rethink their political calculus about one 198 00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:10,559 Speaker 1: thing or another. I mean, you know, anything that takes 199 00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:13,960 Speaker 1: attention off of the task at hand is is a 200 00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:16,360 Speaker 1: bad thing for the momentum of getting those things done, 201 00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:20,240 Speaker 1: whether they be a Supreme Court domination, a stimulus package 202 00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:25,200 Speaker 1: or something else. And finally, is it possible that Trump 203 00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:29,760 Speaker 1: having COVID will significantly affect how Americans will vote in 204 00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:33,040 Speaker 1: the upcoming election. I think it's really hard to know 205 00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:35,760 Speaker 1: how this is going to affect the election. Um. I 206 00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:38,840 Speaker 1: think it is certainly going to weigh on how people 207 00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:44,240 Speaker 1: see Trump's response to the virus, which obviously is a huge, huge, 208 00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:47,760 Speaker 1: huge issue. And we're seeing the virus effect everything from 209 00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:51,199 Speaker 1: you mail in voting and absentee voting to fears about 210 00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:53,520 Speaker 1: in person voting. So I think a lot of those 211 00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:57,040 Speaker 1: effects have already played out. Um. And I think the 212 00:12:57,120 --> 00:13:00,600 Speaker 1: reality is that, you know, until we know how the 213 00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:03,959 Speaker 1: patient in chief's illness place out, we're not gonna necessarily 214 00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:06,800 Speaker 1: know the full political implications of this, but it's going 215 00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:08,760 Speaker 1: to be very interesting to watch over the coming weeks. 216 00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:19,200 Speaker 1: That was Drew Armstrong and Michelle fake Ortez and that's 217 00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:21,840 Speaker 1: it for our show today.
