, maryland. we want to go to the pictures. we're told the president will be leaving shortly. he tweeted earlier in the day that he would be leaving 6:30 p.m. eastern time. obviously this president skilled in television, he knew that that would mean that much of this country would be watching the evening news. the president expected to leave walter reed tonight and head back to the white house. as you know, the president was taken by marine one from the white house on friday afternoon into the evening to walter reed for treatment where he has been over the weekend, given a couple of experimental treatments, ealo a powerful steroid. and the president also received at least two doses of supplem t supplemental oxygen in the course of this, since testing positive for coronavirus. today was the first time he acknowledged that. the doctor, dr. conley, was pressed about the president's lungs, the condition of the lungs what the images showed the doctor, he said he could not discuss that. he made it very

look at this just outside the walter reed national military medical center in bethesda, maryland. this is the president of the united states waving to supporters from inside an suv. a photo-op that seemed unlikely based on what we had learned earlier in the day from the president's own doctor. the assessment of the president's physician dr. sean conley was upbeat but what he told us was rather ominous and led sanjay gupta say the president could be sicker than what the doctors are letting on. they also revealed he's taking a new drug, a steroid, one that is recommended by the world health organization only for people suffering from the most severe cases of covid. that's in addition to two other drugs he's taking. monoclonal antibody cocktail approved only for compassionate use and remdesivir for patients with severe covid who require supplemental oxygen. and cases of the virus are surging in the united states. president trump's infection was one of the highest single day number of cases we've seen here in the united states since august 14th. two months ago. not a good sign. as the

maryland where the president john is now back into the hospital just talk us through how all of this played out. that's right the president sent out a tweet about 20 seconds before we saw his face that one that you just played in fact and we saw the streets suddenly not jammed like this with honking cars as you see it now but all of a sudden it even cleared police officers and cleared out the space and man this side of the road and then we saw a large motorcade of black vehicles that looked suspiciously like the president could of course people out here had no idea who it was they thought perhaps vice president mike might be coming by maybe some other dignitary that car passed on the opposite side of the street where walter reed national military medical center is and then he came by our side and it was right here on this corner i looked in the window and saw the distinctive face of donald trump wearing a black mask in the back of that car with secret service agents in the front rather heavily guarded up and at the same time the president sent out that tweet announcing that he was go

given the fact that a week ago, he was still at the walter reed medical center in bethesda, maryland. >> yeah, wolf, i'm very concerned about this. i think that this is a big missed opportunity to tell the american public the truth and to educate them. i think unfortunately, he is showing all the signs and symptoms of cvs, which is covid denial syndrome. you believe the virus is disappearing despite evidence it's not. you believe you're not infectious when you haven't taken a test. you believe that you minimize the signs and symptoms of the illess despite the fact we had 213,000 americans who have died of this, and it can be a very series illness, and finally, you don't recommend social distancing so the pandemic will continue to proliferate in the way we are seeing it. i'm very concerned about the way this is being handled, and you know, unfortunately, as you said, we're seeing no evidence that this pandemic is going away in this country, or around the world. >> dr. harris, today we saw not only the president but the vice president, mike pence, also hosted a in-person political rally

makes its way to suburban maryland to bethesda. sanjay gupta is with us. when you saw the president, you understand these things, what did his look suggest to you? could we make any determination as to his state when we saw him walking out there? >> i think it would be hard to speculate too much. obviously he was walking on his own. he seemed to not have any difficulty with that or going up the stairs or anything. he was wearing a mask which is mandatory especially now that he has the virus. but there is nothing particularly concerning when he boards the helicopter there. i wouldn't have expected that either. even with moderate symptoms, fever, not feeling well, fatigued, whatever it may be, it would still fit with that. it was the level of concern that prompted this. the helicopter flight over to the hospital. hopefully, as you have asked -- and hopefully we will get more details about what prompted that specifically, but we know he is going there and is expected to stay there. there are clues that there is a level of concern that changed throughout the d

, maryland. but some of what they had to say was clearly not crystal clear and some, these doctors, now say, was clearly wrong. the president's personal physician, dr. sean conley, making the announcement late this morning that the president was actually infected 72 hours ago. dr. conley has since corrected himself on that in writing. and a source familiar with the president's health tells cnn that the next two days for the president will be critical and that president trump, who is 74 years old and sick with covid right now is, quote, still not on a clear path to a full recovery, closed quote. as for the president himself, these words today posted to his twitter account. praise for the men and women treating him at walter reed, calling them amazing and he says, quote, with their help, i am feeling well. joining us now, cnn's chief medical correspondent, dr. sanjay gupta, cnn's chief political analyst, gloria borger, cnn's chief political correspondent, dana bash, and cnn's chief -- not chief yet

walking out of walter reed hospital in bethesda, maryland, about an hour ago. the president was taken by marine one back to the white house. takes about 15 minutes. it's been really a dizzying few days ever since the news of his diagnosis broke late thursday night. the president's personal physician has caution that the president is not out of the woods yet, despite heading back to the white house. spencer, immediate reaction? >> well, happy to see that he feels well enough to insist on going back home. but i don't think any of us has enough information about his medical condition to really render an opinion. i will offer this opinion, though, about his tweets, telling people not to fear covid. you know, it's easy to say when you've got the care that the president of the united states has around him. apparently most of us should have some fear of covid, i think. but i'm happy that he's able to walk around and go home. >> yeah, the rest of us also don't have the ability to get all the skeerexperimental treat early. it just doesn't work that way. >> right. >> obv

joining us from bethesda, maryland, just outside d.c. at walter reed. >>> we're less than a month from election day. that means you're going to see an avalanche of new polling nationally and in your state and here on this network. here are three polls that stuck out to us today. joe biden is up 14 points nationally over president trump in a new nbc news/"wall street journal" poll conducted after the debate. that is the largest lead this particular poll has seen during the entire 2020 campaign. it's nearly double the eight-point lead he held before the debate, and it's well outside the margin of error. in that same poll, 49% of voters said they thought joe biden did a better job during the debate. 58% of voters said mr. biden has a better temperament to be the president. this week two other polls asked about the president and covid-19. a new abc news/ipsos poll shows nearly three out of four americans said they doubt that president trump took the risk of contracting coronavirus seriously. and a new reuters/ipsos poll taken online after pr

we are in bethesda, maryland, a 30 minute drive north of washington dc. they will take that 10 minute flight to the south lot of the white house where the president is expected to be graded by -- greeted by around-the-clock medical staff. also we understand the white house has now been outfitted with certain room, like the map room, so he can continue the work of president, not going to the west wing or where the oval office is located were typically presidents will work. instead he will remain in the residence of the white house, the main structure so many are familiar with, while he continues to recuperate. as you recall, with covid-19, you're contagious for quite a long time. there is still fogginess with medical experts about how long a person will continue to shed that virus. of course, as we have been reporting, there are 70 people who continue to test positive -- so many people who continue to test positive for covid-19 at the white house. we had the press secretary and another member of the press staff and to members of the support staff inside th
