building a better bay area for a safe and secure future. this is abc 7 news. good morning, it is sunday, october 4, i'm liz kreutz. we'll get you right to the very latest on the president's status this morning. you may have been watching that update we just got from the president's medical team. first, if you're just joining us, we want to start with a quick look at weather with meteorologist lisa argen. good morning, lisa. >> hey, liz. we've heard from a lot of you about a brighter morning out there, blue sky to enjoy, compressed marine air. a little haze, still a spare the air alert, but you can see the low clouds and fog at the shoreline. it will be an integral part of our forecast in the next few days. a live look outside from our sutro tower cam. 64 in oakland, 48 in
9:01 am
for mt. contaminatam, haze and . we've got poor air quality for the north bay today. good air quality around fremont, moderate air quality for the rest of us. we're looking at temperatures in the mid-70s around the glass fire incident with 17% relative humidity, very dry. we'll have a warm day today inland. near 90 there, with better air quality closer to the water. that sea breeze picks up. we'll talk about the cooler days ahead and the rain prospects for ce end of the week. let'>hi lof bethesda, maryland where the president is being treated. you can see the crowds of supporters of the president out there with signs, chanting "usa" out there to cheer him on and wish him well
9:02 am
as he recovers from covid-19. now, in the last half hour, the president's doctors provided an update on his condition. his doctors said he continues to improve, although there are ups and downs. but they really were optimistic about how he is doing. the president has been given two doses of remdesivir which is being developed by foster city based gilead. so far he has not had any side effects. the president's physician, dr. sean conley, wanted to clear up speculation about the course of his illness. >> over the course of his illness the president has experienced two episodes of transient drops in his oxygen saturation. we debated the reasons for this and whether we would even intervene. it was a determination of the team based predominantly on the timeline for the initial diagnosis that we initiate dexamethasone. i would like to take the opportunity, given speculation over the course of the illness over the last couple of days, to update you on the course of his
9:03 am
own illness. thursday night into friday morning when i left the bedside the president was doing well with only mild symptoms. his oxygen was in the high 90s. late friday morning when i returned to the bedside, the president had a high fever and his oxygen saturation was transiently dipping below 94%. given these two developments, i was concerned for possible rapid progression of illness. i recommended to the president we try some supplemental oxygen to see how he would respond. he was fairly adamant he didn't need it. he was not short of breath. he was tired, had the fever, that was about it. after about a minute, on only two liters, his saturation levels were back over 95%. he stayed on that for about an hour, maybe. then it was off and gone. later that day, by the time the team here was at the bedside, the president had been up, out of bed, moving about the residence with only mild
9:04 am
symptoms. despite this, everyone agreed the best course of action was to move to walter reed for more thorough evaluations and monitoring. >> the president yesterday evening completed his second dose of remdesivir. he's tolerated that infusion well. we've been monitoring for any potential side effects and he has had none that we can tell. his liver and kidney function remain normal. and we continue to plan to use a five-day course of remdesivir in response to transient low oxygen levels as dr. conley has discussed. we did initiate dexamethasone therapy and he received his first dose of that yesterday. our plan is to continue that for the time being. today he feels well. he's been up and around. our plan for today is to have him eat and drink, be up out of bed as much as possible, to be mobile. if he continues 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. >> so a lot of news there from the president's medical team.
9:05 am
the big thing, the president did receive supplemental oxygen on friday. his doctor confirming that. of course that comes after yesterday's press briefing where dr. conley evaded that question and flat out said the president had not received supplemental oxygen yesterday, saturday, or the day before, on friday. but now we do know, he confirmed it, he did receive that supplemental oxygen. when asked why he didn't flat out say that yesterday morning, why he denied that the president had supplemental oxygen, dr. conley said that he did it because he wanted to reflect the upbeat attitude of the president's progress and diagnosis and didn't want anything out there that would steer the course of his illness. but of course critics are saying the public deserves transparency especially from the doctor's medical team. dr. conley said, though, he and his team are pleased with president trump's recovery and yohed there if things continue to go well today, he could be discharged as soon as tomorrow. uscf's dr. robert wachter says the next seven to ten days are
9:06 am
vital to see how the president responds. abc 7 news reporter luz pena has more from dr. wachter. >> i came here, wasn't feeling so well, i'm feeling better now. >> reporter: dr. robert wachter, chair of the department of medicine at ucsf, says the president's health remains uncertain. >> we certainly see people that do this, they come up a little bit, and the next day they crash. >> reporter: dr. wachter's biggest concern was that president trump was allegedly given oxygen at the white house, indicating the virus may have affected his lungs. >> now that his oxygen level has fallen, we know he is at risk of a bad case of covid pneumonia. the key is his oxygen level is low, because people in the emergency systems slap on a little oxygen, it's not a big deal. but knowing he did get it because he actually needed it is very important. >> reporter: a diagnosis that according to a uc hatine in

esenal .yi ride on a wave of he sympat sympathy. >> reporter: it's a question that lingers. if the 25th amendment is invoked, who would be on the ballot? >> pence would take over the presidential duties temporarily while trump remains on the ballot. >> reporter: president donald trump is 74 years old and clinically overweight, two factors that place him under the high risk category for recovery. >> he's not out of the woods. if you take all people of his age and his situation at this point in the progression, you would have to say his chance of passing away from this is at least 10%. >> reporter: dr. wachter also believes there is a chance that president trump could be contagious after recovery. he's suggesting for the next
9:08 am
presidential debate s to be rem. we'll have to wait and see if it's postponed or if anything does change. in the newsroom, luz pena, abc 7 news. >> a lot of questions the next few weeks. overnight the white house released these photos of president trump appearing to work in the makeshift office set up at walter reed national military medical center. you see the one taken at the conference table and one from the presidential suite where he filmed last night's update. the president's team says he is still carrying out his duties in between treatment. we heard the doctors talk about how he was up and walking around. critics of the president are questioning the authenticity of these photos, pointing to the blank piece of paper he appears to be signing with a sharpie. as these updates come in on the president's condition and those in the president's circle, you can be sent the latest as soon as it happens. last night we sent an alert saying the president is not out of the woods according to his

9:20 am
visible picture the fog from north to south, right up along the coast there. as we widen the view, that gray shading interior california, that is all smoke. so we're looking at those westerly winds today. and once they shift, even though we're getting some cooler weather, we're going to see some surface winds from the south. that will bring still some more haze our way. as we look at our water vapor imagery, this is kind of a neat picture. this shows hurricane marie here and a couple of systems out in the pacific that will be influencing our weather, bringing cooler days, stronger onshore push. and eventually we're still going to bring in that rain. looks like we'll see that by friday and saturday with those temperatures below average. hazy look with some fog here from downtown, sutro tower camera. we had a 20-degree spread from the upper 40s to the upper 60s last hour. 56 in the city, 64 in san jose, 54 along the coast. from mt. tam, we have the fog, but we also have that bad air

9:22 am
temperatures going in the right 60s and 70s around the bay. check out wednesday, below average. mist and drizzle at the coast. here's the system that's going to link up with that dying hurricane coming in friday, spreading just about to the bay. the peninsula on saturday. and current trends, look for most of the activity to be in extreme northern california and of course this is going to change but san francisco could see over a tenth, maybe about 17/100ths by saturday. 90 in santa rosa, low 90s towards antioch. seven-day forecast, modest cooling tomorrow. spare the air alert. still numbers coming down on tuesday. then wednesday, low clouds and fog really get thick. by the end of the week, it's better air quality, it's showers, it's temperatures below average. it's a real taste of fall, liz. >> definitely, we look forward to that, lisa, thank you. ahead, rising from the ashes. ashes. why a summer to the bai ever s!ss
