00:00:03.904 --> 00:00:06.506
>>> CHIEF OF STAFF BRIEFING

00:00:06.507 --> 00:00:07.212
>>> CHIEF OF STAFF BRIEFING

00:00:07.246 --> 00:00:07.598
REPORTERS.

00:00:07.599 --> 00:00:10.251
>> AS ALL OF YOU KNOW THE

00:00:10.286 --> 00:00:12.962
PRESIDENT AND THE FIRST LADY

00:00:12.997 --> 00:00:15.704
TESTED POSITIVE FOR COVID-19

00:00:15.738 --> 00:00:18.915
THEY REMAIN IN GOOD SPIRITS.

00:00:18.916 --> 00:00:22.156
THE PRESIDENT DOES HAVE MILD

00:00:22.157 --> 00:00:25.692
SYMPTOMS, AND AS WE LOOK TO TRY

00:00:25.727 --> 00:00:28.238
TO MAKE SURE THAT NOT ONLY HIS

00:00:28.273 --> 00:00:30.077
HEALTH AND SAFETY AND WELFARE IS

00:00:30.112 --> 00:00:34.928
GOOD, WE CONTINUE TO LOOK AT

00:00:34.930 --> 00:00:37.704
THAT FOR ALL OF THE AMERICAN

00:00:37.738 --> 00:00:38.238
PEOPLE

00:00:38.239 --> 00:00:40.694
HE CONTINUES TO BE IN GOOD

00:00:40.728 --> 00:00:41.734
SPIRITS AND ENERGETIC.

00:00:41.736 --> 00:00:43.049
WE TALKED A NUMBER OF TIMES THIS

00:00:43.051 --> 00:00:43.530
MORNING.

00:00:43.531 --> 00:00:45.938
I GOT FIVE OR SIX THINGS HE

00:00:45.939 --> 00:00:50.360
TASKED ME TO DO LIKE I DO EVERY

00:00:50.394 --> 00:00:52.244
SINGLE MORNING, AND HE IS

00:00:52.278 --> 00:00:54.118
CERTAINLY WANTING TO MAKE SURE

00:00:54.119 --> 00:00:56.219
THAT WE STAY ENGAGED

00:00:56.221 --> 00:00:59.520
I THINK THE OTHER THING THAT IS

00:00:59.521 --> 00:01:00.782
CRITICALLY IMPORTANT, THE

00:01:00.816 --> 00:01:02.693
DOCTORS CONTINUE TO MONITOR BOTH

00:01:02.727 --> 00:01:05.298
HIS HEALTH AND THE HEALTH OF THE

00:01:05.300 --> 00:01:06.114
FIRST LADY

00:01:06.115 --> 00:01:09.400
WE’LL CONTINUE TO DO THAT.

00:01:09.401 --> 00:01:11.560
THEY’LL BE GLAD TO PROVIDE SOME

00:01:11.561 --> 00:01:14.854
UPDATES LATER TODAY AS WE LOOK

00:01:14.856 --> 00:01:17.943
AT THIS, BUT I THINK THE GREAT

00:01:17.944 --> 00:01:20.029
THING ABOUT THIS PRESIDENT IS

00:01:20.031 --> 00:01:22.799
NOT ONLY IS HE STAYING COMMITTED

00:01:22.801 --> 00:01:25.340
TO WORKING VERY HARD ON BEHALF

00:01:25.341 --> 00:01:26.839
OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE

00:01:26.873 --> 00:01:29.904
HIS FIRST QUESTION TO ME THIS

00:01:29.905 --> 00:01:31.965
MORNING WAS -- IS HOW IS THE

00:01:31.999 --> 00:01:34.198
ECONOMY DOING?

00:01:34.199 --> 00:01:37.132
HOW ARE THE STIMULUS TALKS GOING

00:01:37.133 --> 00:01:39.047
ON CAPITOL HILL?

00:01:39.049 --> 00:01:41.609
A NUMBER OF US IN THE CORE TEAM

00:01:41.610 --> 00:01:43.932
OF THE WHITE HOUSE CONTINUE TO

00:01:43.966 --> 00:01:46.382
GET TESTED ON A DAILY BASIS LIKE

00:01:46.384 --> 00:01:49.838
WE ARE, LIKE WE HAVE BEEN, AND

00:01:49.839 --> 00:01:53.706
AS WE LOOK TO THAT, WE -- WE’RE

00:01:53.708 --> 00:01:55.818
VERY EXCITED ABOUT MAKING SURE

00:01:55.852 --> 00:01:57.830
THAT NOT ONLY THAT THE HEALTH

00:01:57.831 --> 00:02:01.081
AND SAFETY OF THE PRESIDENT AND

00:02:01.115 --> 00:02:03.960
THE FIRST LADY IS ADDRESSED, BUT

00:02:03.994 --> 00:02:06.138
CERTAINLY THAT WE ADDRESS THIS

00:02:06.173 --> 00:02:08.728
BATTLE TOGETHER AS A NATION

00:02:08.762 --> 00:02:10.959
TOGETHER, AND THE AMERICAN

00:02:10.994 --> 00:02:14.144
PEOPLE CAN REST ASSURED THAT WE

00:02:14.145 --> 00:02:16.246
HAVE A PRESIDENT THAT IS NOT

00:02:16.280 --> 00:02:20.304
ONLY ON THE JOB, WILL REMAIN ON

00:02:20.338 --> 00:02:23.510
THE JOB, AND I’M OPTIMISTIC THAT

00:02:23.544 --> 00:02:25.454
HE’LL HAVE A QUICK AND SPEEDY

00:02:25.455 --> 00:02:25.766
RECOVERY

00:02:25.768 --> 00:02:27.631
>> Reporter: HOW WOULD YOU

00:02:27.632 --> 00:02:29.591
DESCRIBE HIS SYMPTOMS AND IS HE

00:02:29.592 --> 00:02:30.478
TAKING HYDROXYCHLOROQUINE?

00:02:30.479 --> 00:02:32.644
>> I’M NOT GOING TO GET INTO ANY

00:02:32.645 --> 00:02:34.037
PARTICULAR TREATMENT HE MAY OR

00:02:34.038 --> 00:02:35.339
MAY NOT HAVE

00:02:35.340 --> 00:02:37.544
HE HAS MILD SYMPTOMS AS WE LOOK

00:02:37.545 --> 00:02:39.048
AT THAT.

00:02:39.049 --> 00:02:43.051
THE DOCTOR WILL CONTINUE TO

00:02:43.085 --> 00:02:44.724
PROVIDE EXPERTISE IN THE

00:02:44.758 --> 00:02:45.865
RESIDENCE.

00:02:45.867 --> 00:02:48.936
HE’S IN THE RESIDENCE NOW.

00:02:48.937 --> 00:02:50.894
AND IN TRUE FASHION, HE’S

00:02:50.895 --> 00:02:53.953
PROBABLY CRITIQUING THE WAY THAT

00:02:53.954 --> 00:02:56.617
I’M ANSWERING THESE QUESTIONS,

00:02:56.618 --> 00:02:58.680
AND I CAN TELL YOU THAT A NUMBER
