The Bizarre White House Reaction to Commerce Secretary John Bryson News

The Commerce Secretary is tenth in the presidential line of succession and there is a government-wide Continuity of Operations Plan (COOP) that ensures that the executive branch leadership is accounted for and able to serve.
Did the President of the United States really find out at the same time as the general public that 36 hours beforehand his Commerce Secretary had been hospitalized?
And if so, was his first concern the fact that his staff left him in the dark unnecessarily for so many hours?
