is taking his diagnosis. we spoke to ucfs's infectious disease specialist who said it was not a great idea for the president at the peak of being contagious to exit the hospital and put several others for risk at exposure. particularly the secret service agents inside of that air-tight motorcade with him. >> it's not even like our car, it's sealed against all sorts of chemical attacks. it's bulletproof. you can see when you look at the footage that the window is not even cracked open. it puts everyone at unnecessary risk inside the car not to mention people he might have interacted with on the way to his car. >> according to the president's doctors, his condition continues to improve and it appears from the surprise presidential photo-op he appears to be in good spirits. however doctors have repeatedly said the next 7 to 10 days are absolutely critical in monitoring the president's

recovery. reporting live this morning, julian glover, abc7 news. >> thank you. this morning we are also hearing from a physician at walter reed medical center. he's raised concerns about the president's drive-by saying that he may have unnecessarily exposed secret service members to that virus for political theater. doctor james phillips is not a part of the president's care team but he has treated covid-19 patients. this morning on "gma" he said he's concerned that his colleagues at walter reed may have been pressured into allowing the drive-by. >> so far as the military and johns hopkins physicians who ar they're excellent. but they are also under undue pressure and a lot of influence outside of that normal physician/patient relationship. >> you can watch this entire interview with dr. phillips. that's coming up on "gma" which starts at 7:00 after abc7 news mornings. joe biden is on the campaign trail again in florida after testing negative for covid-19.
