sparked by a video which appears to show police throwing a teenage boy off a bridge. and the city once known as the pile of the ohrid 612 decades of decay and restore some of its former glory. doctors treating u.s. president donald trump for covert 19 have revealed that his oxygen levels dropped intermittently on friday and saturday despite that they say he could be discharged from hospital as early as monday and then as his briefing from the walter reed military hospital doctors said trump's condition continues to improve and he hasn't had a fever since friday but they also told reporters he's been given the drugs dexamethasone a steroid the world health organization only recommends the severe cases that's in addition to the antiviral drug does appear and an experimental antibody treatment.
10:02 pm
in response to the transience low oxygen levels as dr conley is discussed we did initiate document his own therapy and he received his 1st dose of that yesterday and our plan is to continue not for the time being today he feels well he's been up and around our plan for today is to have him to eat and drink. out of bed as much as possible to be mobile and if you continue to look and feel as well as he does today our hope is that we can plan for a discharge as early as tomorrow to the white house where he can continue his treatment course what kind of joins us separate outside walter reed medic minute change medical center in bethesda and mike is the picture any care now regarding president trumps current condition. though there was a lot more information than was given 24 hours ago at the initial briefing for the 1st time the doctors confirmed that president trumps alex agenda levels had dropped and not to ensure that he needed supplemental oxygen not only once and this
10:03 pm
happened on friday the 1st time which actually preempted his move to walter reed hospital but the doc to say as well the same incident happened in the course of saturday so there's a little bit more information there the information too that he's being given dexamethasone very significant because this is a drug a steroid that's only given to critically ill patients and only is beneficial when they on mechanical ventilators or receiving constant feeds of oxygen so that is significant but at the same time the doctors are saying there's a possibility that president trump could return to the residence at the white house on monday said something of a mixture of messages yet again the doctor the personal physician was also very quick to clarify why he painted such a rosy prognosis 24 hours ago saying that all was well when by his own admission now we understand that president trump's oxygen levels were dropping this is what dr sean connelly had to say. i'm sure. reflect the upbeat attitude that the
10:04 pm
team the president of course of illness has had. didn't want to give any information that might steer the course of illness in another direction and in doing so you know came off that were trying to hide something that was initially true. and say i have here have it he is the fact of the matter is that he's doing really well. and michael meantime is some questions about the lack of contact tracing from places that trump went to immediately before is announced he tested positive. well this is a very important point 1st of all 6 he tested positive or was diagnosed positive with a p.c.r. test late thursday evening according to the doctors we do not know and are not being told whether he tested positive before god one of the anti genter said very
10:05 pm
quick test which is the white house protocol for testing it's a 15 minute result but isn't largely inaccurate 48 percent of the time according to most medical observers now the point of all of this is that we do not know when president trump actually contracted the disease we do not know how many places he's being being covert positive if we start at the rose garden that ceremony to announce the supreme court nomination we could go saturday there were over 150 people there the rallies that he attended or meetings that he attended in minnesota meeting on thursday in new jersey to raise funds for his campaign now the white house says that it is in charge of contact tracing because it's a president along with the offices from the centers for disease control however many who are in the rose garden last saturday say they have not been contacted authorities in minnesota say there has been no correspondence with the white house
10:06 pm
say attempting to set up their own tracing methods and new jersey authorities saying exactly the same the they are attempting to track the more than $150.00 people who have the money raising there so the white house is saying it's in charge of content tracing in alignment with the c.d.c. but that simply all the evidence is that nobody is tracing the path of a covert positive president let alone the white house and this very briefly would appear to reflect the. the response of the white house to the a pandemic as a whole during which months in which over $200000.00 americans have died no federal system or no national tracing system has been established and now the white house is directly responsible it says doesn't seem to be improving mike hanna thank you very much. dr eric franco doing is an epidemiologist and senior fellow at the federation of american scientists he explains the significance of the new drug
10:07 pm
trump is receiving look we now we it's clear that trump was on oxygen and on oxygen several times and you know constant drop sample times and what's most worrying is actually the new revelation that he's on deck some of the snow that's about snow is proving a colossal trials. to reduce mortality but it is underdog joke island use worst severe in critical i.c.u. patients the fact that they not just use rain does appear and other previous antibody therapy but when cement took some of the stone which is the last line critical severe case drug shows this by definition they were very very worried and this is much more severe that they're than they're letting on the white house does have basically a full surgical suite if necessary and i'm pretty sure the doctors will be on standby a normal sense as you would not be discharged in any way any still continue 5 day run does your course so he is definitely still not out of the woods meanwhile 9
