COMING UP I’LL SHOW YOU WHAT I THINK’S AND STORE AND WHAT THE HURRICANE CENTER IS THINKING
AND ABOUT 20 MINUTES.
>>VIC MICOLUCCI: MARK THANK YOU
BACK TO PRESIDENT TRUMP AND
FIRST LADY MELANIA TRUMP
GETTING THE CORONAVIRUS WE WANT
TO GET MORE PERSPECTIVE ON
THIS HUGE STORY SO LET’S BRING
IN DOCTOR ALPA PATEL INTO
THE CONVERSATION. SHE IS AN
INTERNAL MEDICINE SPECIALIST
WITH MILLENNIUM PHYSICIAN GROUP
RIGHT HERE IN JACKSONVILLE.
GOOD MORNING TO YOU DOCTOR
PATEL.
>> GOOD MORNING. IT CAN.
>> AND WE’RE DOING WELL AND
WE’RE WATCHING THIS DEVELOPING
STORY SO I WANT TO GO BACK TO OUR FIRST INTERVIEW THAT WE DID TOGETHER MONTHS AGO RIGHT AT
THE BEGINNING OF THE PANDEMIC
WE TALKED IN MARCH LITTLE DID
EITHER OF US KNOW THAT IT WOULD
GROW TO THESE PROPORTIONS AND HAVE THAT THE PRESIDENT ACTUALLY TESTING POSITIVE ALONG
WITH HIS WIFE MELANIA.
>> I YOU KNOW THIS IS NOT SHOCKING NEWS TO THE MEDICAL WITH RECENT
MASS GATHERINGS BEEN HELD
WITHOUT MASS USE AND SOCIAL
DISTANCING.
>> THERE’S SOMETHING THAT COULD
EASILY BUT. I
CURRENTLY THEY THINGS THAT CAN REALLY KEEP US FROM THE CONTRACT. BUT
IT IS BEING VIGILANT ABOUT
MASK-WEARING IN CROWDED PLACES
AN
INDOOR SETTINGS I THINK THAT
THAT MIXED MESSAGE IN THE IN
THE.
PUBLIC MIGHT HAS BEEN
SOMETHING THAT WE WE NEED NEED
TRY TO AVOID GOING FORWARD.
>>VIC MICOLUCCI: I DON’T KNOW
IF YOU’RE EXPERIENCING THIS
WITH YOUR PATIENTS BUT ARE YOU
SEEING ANY KIND OF CASES.
RISING RECENTLY BECAUSE WE HAVE
GONE INTO PHASE 3 HERE IN THE
SUNSHINE STATE. I THINK A LOT
OF PEOPLE ARE TRYING TO GET
BACK TO THEIR NORMAL LIVES AND
FOR THE MOST PART FOR SOME
PEOPLE THEY’RE GOING TO SAY
THAT THE WORST OF CORONAVIRUS
IS OVER THAT CHANGES THINGS NOW
WE CAN SEE THAT THE COMMANDER
IN CHIEF AND HIS WIFE HAVE
COVID-19.
>> YES, I MEAN I THINK THERE HAD TICKED OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS, I DON’T KNOW IF SOME
OF IT. THANKS TO REOPENING SCHOOLS. PEOPLE REALLY LETTING THEIR GUARD DOWN YOU KNOW
HEARING
THIS MUCH IN THE MEDIA ALSO
ABOUT CASEY IS AND WHAT’S GOING
ON LOCALLY AND I THINK
A LOT OF TIMES THE MESSAGE THAT
WE’RE GETTING IS. MAYBE
THIS IS BEHIND US AND THE SITE.
HAS BEEN CLAIMING THAT THE VIRUS IS JUST DON’T BELIEVE THE VIRUS IS THE WIT. SO
WE’RE NOT OVER THE A
REALLY TOUGH. NOT TAKE OUR
GUARD DOWN NOW ESPECIALLY GOING
INTO THE FALL WITH THE FLU
SEASON COMING UP, I MEAN THIS
IS WHAT WE REALLY NEED TO PUT
UP FOR GUARD, THE MOST AND
WHERE ARE MASS KEEP OUR
DISTANCE WASH YOUR HANDS
FREQUENTLY.
>>VIC MICOLUCCI: AND CAN WE
TALK SPECIFICALLY ABOUT THE
PRESIDENT WE DON’T HAVE TOO
MANY DETAILS ABOUT HIS HEALTH
HISTORY, BUT WE KNOW AT LEAST
WITH
HIS AGE THAT MANY PEOPLE WOULD
CONSIDER HIM
TO BE AT RISK WHAT ARE WE
LOOKING AT POTENTIALLY HERE HE.
SEEMS TO BE OKAY TWEETING RIGHT NOW HIS DOCTOR SAYS HE AND THE FIRST LADY ARE
DOING WELL AT THE MOMENT AS
THEY’RE BEING MONITORED BY WHO
CAN ONLY IMAGINE IS A PLETHORA
OF MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS
BUT STILL HE IS IN THAT AT RISK
AGE GROUP BY MANY REGARDS.
>> WHAT.
>> YEAH, I MEAN THAT IS
PROBABLY ONE OF HIS BIGGEST
RISK FACTORS IS HIS YOU KNOW
90% OF PEOPLE AT HIS AGE CAN
END UP IN
THE HOSPITAL. BUT BUT SIEMIAN
WHICH IS OF THE LOCKS AGENDA OF
ALL DUE TO
COVID 90. BUT LET IT’S IT’S A
VERY FORTUNATE TO KNOW THAT HE
HAS VERY LIMITED SYMPTOMS AND
HOPEFULLY HE WILL THAT GET
THROUGH THIS QUITE EASILY BUT
HE WILL NEED TO BE MONITORED
CLOSELY FOR ANY AGGRESSION.
>>VIC MICOLUCCI: NO 2 CASES
SEEM TO BE A LIKE WE CAN TELL
THAT FROM MY STORY TALKING TO
SO MANY OTHER PEOPLE WHO HAVE
ALSO HAD COVID-19 AND
THANKFULLY RECOVERED FROM IT.
THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS COULD
BE ROUGH FOR THE FIRST COUPLE
AND IT COULD POTENTIALLY BE
LONGER THAN THAT 14 DAYS WE’VE
SEEN SOME PEOPLE THAT HAVE HAD
CORONAVIRUS FOR A MONTH 2
MONTHS EVEN MORE.
>> YEAH, THAT’S TRUE. I MEAN HE’S PROBABLY THE IN THE EARLY PHASES RIGHT NOW, I MEAN HE IS
ONE OF THE WHITE HOUSE AIDES
TESTED POSITIVE IN THE PROJECT
APPEARS TO BE THAT THAT MAYBE
THEIR CONTACT SO HE COULD BE IN
THE
IN THE THEY STILL BELIEVE HE’S
NOT SHOWING SYMPTOMS YET AND
MAYBE AND 3 TO 5 DAYS MAY START
DEVELOPING SYMPTOMS. AND AT HIS AGE SYMPTOMS JUST LIKE WE DISCUSSED INFO IT THAT THE 10
DAY QUARANTINE MAY NOT BE
ENOUGH FOR HIM DEPENDING ON
WHAT HIS SYMPTOMS
DEVELOP TOO. ESPECIALLY IF ANY
PATIENTS END UP IN THE
HOSPITAL. WORSENING COVID-19
SYMPTOMS TO QUARANTINE PERIODS
ARE LONG WAY MAYBE 2021 DAYS.
AND WE ALSO KNOW OF
PATIENTS THAT THERE WILL BE A
LONG HAUL THOSE 4 MONTHS LATER
STILL CONTINUE TO
HAVE SYMPTOMS OF FATIGUE IN
OGDEN IS AND IS GENERALIZED
MALAISE. AND THESE ARE TRUE
THINGS THAT WE’RE SEEING OUT
THERE. THAT WILL HE WOULD
POSSIBLY NEED TO BE MONITORED
FOR.
>>VIC MICOLUCCI: AND OBVIOUSLY
WE ARE JUST A MONTH AWAY FROM
THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION.
SO THIS IS A VERY BUSY TIME
THE PRESIDENT APPEARS TO BE
CANCELING HIS IN PERSON
APPEARANCE IS THERE.
IF THE SYMPTOMS ARE MILD.
IF HE TEST NEGATIVE
IN 14 DAYS IS HE GOING TO BE
SAFE TO GO OUT AND ABOUT AND
GET BACK TO THE BUSINESS THAT
HE’S BEEN DOING TRYING TO KEEP
HIS OFFICE HERE.
>> I MEAN I
THINK ACCORDING TO THE CURRENT
CDC GUIDELINES, YES, HE WILL BE
ABLE TO AT
HIS AGE. WITH THEIR TYPE OF SCHEDULE THAT YOU HAVE WITH THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION WILL BE
NO PROBLEM FOR ME LACK OF SLEEP
ALL OF THIS AFFECTS HIS
IMMUNITY AND HE CAN BE AT RISK
FOR
RECURRENCE OR AND TO DEVELOP
NEW SYMPTOMS OR EVEN SECONDARY.
INFECTIOUS IN IM SO EVEN IF HE
DOES TO STICK.
AND 14 BACK ON THE
CAMPAIGN TRAIL IN NEED TO BE
CAREFUL OF HOW BEST OF HIS
SCHEDULE IS SO THAT HIS
IMMUNITY DOES IT DECREASE AND
U V THAT SUSPECT OR A
RECURRENCE OR SOME INFECTIOUS
DISEASE.
>>VIC MICOLUCCI: DOCTOR OUT THE
PATEL WITH MILLENNIUM
PHYSICIANS GROUP THANK YOU FOR
