contracted the virus. >> i just heard about this. she tested positive. >> reporter: those sources saying he was waiting to reveal his results from a more accurate pcr test. meantime, his medical team insisting he's doing well with no fever since friday morning as he receives doses of the experimental drug remdesivir and a steroid, dexamethasone. >> this is the only drug that has been shown to have a survival benefit in clinical trials, but it also indicates that the president's disease is not considered mild. >> reporter: the american people getting mixed messages about the president's condition. saturday his leading physician, dr. sean conley, appearing to dodge questions over whether the president received any supplemental oxygen. today he said this. >> the president has experienced two episodes of transient drops in his oxygen saturation. i recommended the president we try to supplemental oxygen. >> reporter: dr. conley says that happened friday, but when asked if the president was also on oxygen saturday, he couldn't

seem to recall and was then pressed about his discrepancies. >> i was trying to reflect the upbeat attitude that the team, the president, that his course of illness has had. it came off that we were trying to hide something, which wasn't necessarily true. >> reporter: adding to the confusion, white house chief of staff mark meadows warned trump's vitals, quote, over the last 24 hours were very concerning, cautioning the next 48 hours will be critical in terms of his care, contradicting what his doctors have said. dr. conley saying meadows' comments were misconstrued. reena roy, abc news, washington. >> at least eight people who attended last saturday's rose garden ceremony for president trump's supreme court nominee have been infected. the latest to test positive, the president's personal assistant and bodyman nick luna. former new jersey governor chris christie announced yesterday he tested positive while mr. trump's former adviser, kellyanne conway, released her diagnosis on friday.

now, dr. peter chin-hong says normally doctors or medical personnel wear layers of ppe when interacting with a covid-positive patient. in this case, we saw the president wearing a face mask and those around him as well, but the risk is still there. >> that's right, dion. dr. chin-hong says he wouldn't have allowed for the president to leave the hospital. he says that risk of him being contagious for the people around him is still there. >> i'm not telling anybody but you, but i'm about to make apr h to infect others around him. that's how ucsf's infectious disease specialist dr. peter chin-hong categorized this exposure. >> we would have never allowed a patient to leave the hospital, expose others unnecessarily. >> the same concern was raised by a medical doctor at walter reed national military medical center, where president trump is

hospitalized. tweeting, quote, every single person in the vehicle during that completely unnecessary presidential drive-by just now has to be quarantined for 14 days. they might get sick. they may die. the president's suv is bulletproof and sealed against any chemical attacks. this airtight design makes it easier for covid-19 droplets to linger. >> we call them aerosols, and in an enclosed space, even for a few minutes, they can linger, particularly if there's no air exchange. and, again, the president's car is made to be really sealed, so it's even riskier than a normal car. >> hours earlier, president trump's medical team cleared confusion about his oxygen level dropping twice in recent days. >> the virus itself invades your body, goes into your cells and starts taking them over and killing them. and if it does that with enough of your lung cells, you can -- it can be that you no longer have enough lung cells to get oxygen in and out. >> ucsf's dr. wachter says

typically steroids are used with severe covid-19 cases. in this case, the president got it on day two. >> so the fact that they started it on his second day in the hospital means that they must have been quite worried about him. >> now, according to the president's doctors, his condition continues to improve, but dr. peter chin-hong says that doesn't take away from the fact that he remains highly contagious. the first days of a patient with covid are some of the most infectious. in the newsroom, luz pena, abc7 news. >> luz, much appreciated. now, new covid-19 spikes are causing reopening rollbacks in the u.s. and overseas. johns hopkins university reported more than 54,000 positive cases friday. that is america's highest single-day total since mid-august. new york city's mayor wants businesses to shut down in nine zip codes across brooklyn and queens amid outbreaks there and in paris, all bars will shut down tuesday as the city's coronavirus alert is raised to maximum.

it's like all burning embers, and i said, let's go. >> reporter: robert frost evacuated last week but came home sunday. while most of the oakmont homes were untouched, there were a handful damaged by the fire. >> i don't mind the evacuation. i don't want to see my friends' homes burn. we need to get the state, the federal government together and start cleaning up our forest because otherwise this is going to go on for i don't know how many years. >> it's burning up in washington and oregon and the southern part of the state, so if you can think of any place that we could go to that doesn't have earthquakes, fires, and floods, call us. >> reporter: j.r. stone, abc7 news. the glass fire is forcing more people out of their homes in napa county. cal fire made evacuation orders mandatory today along a stretch of highway 29 in st. helena. that zone runs from robert lewis

have to go back to the drawing board tomorrow. >> we had plenty of opportunities, and i really just didn't execute. i mean i feel like the way i'm feeling, it's pretty black and white right now. i just didn't execute, and that's really all it comes down to. bills and raiders, the battle of central california quarterbacks. second quarter, bills up 14-6. hook at josh allen making a play. take a look at the replay as he flips it. he falls hard on that left shoulder. he would get checked on but stay in the game. jason whitten, his first career touchdown with las vegas. the raiders trail by four at recess. allen making his case for early season mvp. look at the rocket right arm to diggs. that's his new favorite target, the guy they got from minnesota. so nice we showed that twice. allen had 288 yards and two

news they will be seated and spaced 12 feet apart after the biden campaign requested more space. after the debate, pence, who tested negative today, will hold an in-person make america great again event in arizona, expecting a large crowd with limited or no social distancing. but questions mount about his potentially exposure to the president and when the president may have been contagious. we know he was in the oval office with the president on tuesday. the white house, though, insists pence wasn't near the president after he tested positive. already some trump staffers and surrogates in iowa were seen not wearing masks on the first leg of their team trump bus tour. biden took his message to voters virtually this weekend, and he's pulling all negative ads. >> i don't want to be attacking the president and the first lady. >> reporter: but staying strong on his message, masks save lives. >> this is not about freedom. it's about patriotism. >> reporter: and this outbreak could also affect amy coney barrett's confirmation to the supreme court. republicans say that their timeline is actual on track, but

they are holding on to a razor thin majority with this process. two gop senators have already said they do not support moving forward with the vote before election day, and two other senators on the judiciary committee have tested positive for covid-19. if they're not healthy in time for a vote, that could jeopardize the entire timeline. andrew dymburt, abc news, washington. house speaker nancy pelosi says she is not being briefed on the president's condition. after the vice president, pelosi is next in line to take over presidential duties if needed. >> we're getting our information the way everyone else is, in the media. but in terms of the succession, that's an ongoing process. sadly at this time, it comes to the forefront. >> speaker pelosi says she is praying for the president and for the first lady and hoping for their speedy recoveries. she also said she is being regularly tested under the attending physician of the house. her last test on friday came back negative. in the coronavirus pandemic,

at least 21 states have seen a week to week increase in new covid-19 cases. here in california, cases those are holding steady. cnn correspondent polo sandoval has a look now at what the nation can expect in the coming months. >> reporter: only three u.s. states are reporting a decline in new covid-19 cases compared to last week. as of saturday night, new cases were down in texas, missouri, and south carolina while 21 states reported a rise in cases and a little more than half held steady compared with the week before. researchers at the university of washington are now predicting as many as 2,900 deaths a day in december. >> the reason we think that's going to happen is the combination of people, you know, taking their foot off the brake and starting to mingle more, being less careful, and then most importantly, seasonality. >> reporter: wisconsin reported a record number of 2,892 new

covid-19 cases on saturday, including 19 deaths. governor tony evers said on social media the surges seen across the state were not an indication that masks don't work. meantime, california has now passed 16,000 deaths. in illinois, the state reported nearly 2,500 cases in 24 hours and 31 deaths. in tennessee, 1,192 cases and 45 deaths. in south carolina, 649 new cases and 31 deaths on saturday. the university of washington now projecting 363,000 u.s. deaths by the end of the year. >> you know, given what we know about the effectiveness of masks and given what we know about half of americans wearing a mask when they're out, we think that about 86,000 lives can be saved if we can get mask use way up. so it's very much in our control as to what's actually going to

happen. >> now, the seven-day case average nationwide is more than 20% higher than it was on september 12th but is stillk in back in july. shifting gears a little bit, the iconic carousel at san francisco's pier 39 is reopening to visitors for the first time since march. pier 39's ceo tells us the number of visitors and sales are about 35% to even 45% of what they were before the pandemic. and on some nights, the six restaurants doing dining there are booking 80% of that capacity that they're allowed. with very few out of state and international tourists, people coming to pier 39 are locals. >> a lot of our merchants ask where people are from, and a lot of people from the east bay, a lot of people from the sacramento valley and the valley in general, from all over, all nine counties in the bay area. >> pier 39 reopened in mid-june after being closed for 91 days by the city's shelter in place order. over the weekend, sports

also made the trip to dodger stadium. to the nba finals where after two games it looked like a foregone conclusion the lakers would sweep the heat and win the title. but tonight a reminder why you actually have to play the game. you saw it right here on abc7. game three of the finals. lakers are just off tonight. anthony davis looking for a high five, left hanging. jimmy butler, absolutely incredible. jimmy buckets. that puts the heat up 13. l.a. would come back in the fourth. off the miss, here's anthony davis with a putback slam. then lebron splits the d. hoop and the foul. the lakers all of a sudden within two. lefty layup is good. butler not just scoring on this night. he had 13 assists. tyler hero is going to get involved. three-ball. he had 17. an well, he seals the deal late. game-high 40 points. he had a triple-double. heat win 115-104. l.a. still has a 2-1 series

lead. >> i think we realize we belong. they can be beat as long as we do what we're supposed to do. come the next game, i know they're going to be so much better and we got to be able to match that energy. tonight was game three of the nba finals. we also had another special guest. warriors assistant coach bruce frazier, who is stephen curry's go-to guy. he just wrapped up his time in the warriors double. after two weeks, here's his assessment. >> i thought jordan pool was really, really good. he's a really, i would say maybe a prolific shooter. his shot is maturing physically and mentally, so he's gotten stronger. and he moves well. i think he could potentially really helpus. then kay von looney, who i may not consider young, but still on his way up was solid and probably as healthy as he's been. then klay, we had klay, which was great. klay really looked good.

obviously he's a great shooter, but maybe shooting it even better than he was. he's still working his way back, so i wouldn't say he's at full strength, but he's close. >> can't wait for the warriors. the niners lost to the eagles 25-20. they're now 2-2 this season. there were some positives for san francisco, including the return of that guy, superstar tight end george kittle, number 85. he made his prsence felt, especially in the passing game. 15 catches, 183 yards and a score. individually a great effort but the niners end up on the wrong side of the scoreboard tonight. >> body feels great. felt great to be back out there with the guys. unfortunately we just didn't get it done, so that's not fun. >> even if he's covered, he's open. you know, that's what he's very talented at, yards after catch. it was awesome to get george back on the field, and he

definitely did his part. >> that's a look at sports. back to you. >> and that is it for tonight. i'm dion lim. don't forget abc7 news continues bright and early tomorrow morning at 5:00. for drew and chris and all of us here at abc7 news, thanks so much for joining us. don't forget we are always on 24/7 at abc7news.com and the abc7 news app. taking a live look outside, taking it home to break, a beautiful picture of san francisco. take car
