This is an unofficial transcript meant for reference. Accuracy is not guaranteed.
Ainsley all right
thanks, so much Jeff
appreciate it or rich. I
appreciate it.
My next guest is Jeff joining us.
Now is Jeff Landry. He tested
positive for Covid 19 a few
months ago,
good morning to you
good morning,
Ainsley you heard Dr Ahmed say
she would treat the president
differently because set leader
of the free world.
You are in a very important
position in Louisiana.
How were you treat you had?
Well again, I got the virus
from my wife from basically
caring for my wife. When she had
got it,
she was. I will ill four days.
I saw a DR immediately and he
prescribed a number of
medications, including
hydroxychloroquine, for me and
anti bottom particular and
vitamin zinc D. Three and vitamin c
I got through it without any
symptoms.
She was treated as well with
other drugs
and after about four days she
recovered.
You know I was with the
president about a week and a
half ago in the White House
where we had a round table,
and we talked about that.
I can tell you. My prayers goes
to both the president and to the
first lady,
and I believe that the president
will come through this great.
I think he is in great shape.
He has a lot of energy
and he has got great doctors,
Brian Jeff. What goes through
your mind when you first hear
you are positive,
you know its a bit
concerning
you know again. You know, I
have read a lot about stayed up
25u7bgd to medical providers.
I can tell you this. Our front
line. Medical providers are not
being thanked enough for where
we were in March to where we are
today.
Every day I talk to doctors, who
are finding better and easier
ways to treat people
ways to keep them both healthy
and keep them from going into
the hospitals.
You know, and we see that in the
statistics-
and so you know again after
I I tested positive for it.
I just listened to my doctors.
Did my quarantining and stayed
safe,
Steve yeah,
Mr Landry? What do you make of
some of the presidents critics,
who are already essentially
sight? The fact that he and the
White House and the campaign
have largely avoided social,
distancing and worn masks.
I think the president has a
job to do
when you look at everybody
understands what the concerns
are and what the dangers are.
But again we are not in the
same place we were in March.
This is not a novel virus
anymore.
Our front line medical providers
are finding bigger and better
and more efficient ways to treat
this virus.
We have got a number of drugs
and a number of tools in
doctors arsenals in order to
treat the virus
again. Look they love to
criticize this president hate to
give him any credit for the job
he has done.
Can I tell New Louisiana? He has
done a remarkable job.
He was down here during the
hurricane right after the
hurricane visiting affected
area.
He made sure that his cabinet
members go around the country
and solve problems that the
american people have
Ainsley. What exactly did you go
through when you had it?
I have heard different stories.
What was your experience?
The interesting part is, I
really had no symptoms.
I actually continued to exercise
in my home throughout the fourteen day
or ten day quarantine,
my wife, you know she had flu
like symptoms for about three or four days.
Four days
she had fever coughing
very similar to treating.
