the coronavirus outbreak at the white house got worse. white house press secretary kayleigh mcenany and two of her aides reveal that they have tested positive. we certainly wish them the best of recovery, but we should note that mcenany didn't quarantine despite known infections around her. didn't wear a mask briefing reporters 24 hours ago. we will discuss her case in a moment. first, for the third day, the president of the united states is waking up in walter reed hospital where he is being treated for coronavirus. we as a nation are no closer to knowing the truth about his health. what we know is his doctors and closest aides can't seem to get the story straight. yesterday, dr. sean conley admitted he wanted to, his words, reflect the upbeat attitude trump and his team wanted to convey about his condition. even as the president had at least two significant drops in oxygen which conley did not disclose in a saturday briefing. even as conley refused to give specifics on whether damage has been done to the president's lungs. another thing we know is that t

only has killie machinating the press secretary tested positive but also another member of the white house press team the press office and then 2 members of the resident staff these are the people that work inside the white house and support the president in the 1st lady while they are living there so what we know is already there are a number of things that are taking place in order to make sure that staff are protected we know that the map room for example is being outfitted so that the president can work in the residence not in the west wing which is west of the residence in the oval office where typically we see presidents working at what's known as the resolute desk instead the president will be working inside the residence we also know that there is no contact tracing that is taking place now it seems it was a little late in happening but the white house has confirmed to al-jazeera that in fact all of those people that were present in the rose garden for the nomination of amy kone barrett to be the next justice in the supreme court that has now turned into a super spreader a vent that ther

be receiving in the days to come what we do know is that any information will come out of the white house press office now all indications are that there will not be any more information being coming out in the course of the evening now throughout the day it was mainly the press office or president's political spokespeople who were giving information about the development of the coronavirus and the president only at one stage did a medical expert actually give out information and that was to confirm the use of an experimental anti body drug which the president was given one dose of so at this stage it doesn't appear that any more information will be coming out in the course of the night we do expect some information to come out from the white house press office in the course of the morning. so it could happen if trump gets too sick to perform his presidential duties he could temporarily transfer power to the vice president mike pence under the 25th amendment of the u.s. constitution pence's tested negative for the virus but if he falls ill as well the baton is how asked to nancy pelosi the seni
