or earlier i spoke to our washington correspondent carolyn chinmoy and i asked her whether the rose garden gathering was in fact a super spread event within the president's team is of course difficult to say it's difficult to do that people are tracing this has not been conferred that that ceremony last week in the white house was a place where several people got infected but we do know that at least 6 people and 2 republican senators by the way 10 that that event have been tested positive for cold it and 19 a so it is very likely that this might have been the event or where they contracted the infection also we have seen the images they are not wearing masks there is no social distancing as so probably this was the event but it is very difficult to confirm that. carolyn a did you get a sense of how this cluster of infections is impacting the function of the trump campaign theme just a month now from the presidential election. the impact has been a huge dollar trump had to cancel his campaign events this week and the new video the 2nd video by the way he published from the hospital he says

are joining us now is our correspondent carolina chinmoy in washington carolyn. trump's physicians struck a very upbeat tone but his statement was rather thin on details what more can you tell us. well at least we heard something from the doctors because you see it's it's been quite confusing 1st the president and the 1st lady says current team in the white house then suddenly the president was transferred to the hospital and now we know that he had fever and cough and then we got only a paper statement yesterday quite late from the doctor saying that everything is fine and the tweets coming from the president finally today a briefing this morning were trying doctor said that the president was improving that he was doing very well and. the president's doctors said he was happy with the president's condition but a service as he already told from the white house apparently chief of staff mark meadows said there was more calls for concerns. there are some reports as you touch on we're hearing saying that these condition is actually more acute what is the source of t

or go now to our washington correspondent carolina chinmoy is there for us carolyn we're seeing the president walk unassisted to the helicopter at the white house and then locke was walking off in maryland what's the latest you've heard on his condition. well we know that this is definitely not a run of the mill situation his conditions seems to be quite serious we know that something has definitely changed they were expected to stay at the white house that's what the white house press people said and then sat only if they said that he's going to though it was a remote area medical center so all of 7 this change this is an indication for a serious situation probably more serious than we think especially if we consider that donald trump he doesn't like to show any kind of a weakness and say you don't even wears a mask normally and now being transferred to a hospital he did and all his staff did and it seems that his symptoms are getting worse and that is also what we know about the virus was it gets progressively worse carolyn what can you tell us about the kind of treatment mr trump is likely
