Joe Biden

Folks, I'm doing great. Thanks for your concern," Biden tweeted. He added that he was “keeping busy!”

The coronavirus pandemic helped put Biden in the White House, as he pledged to handle Covid-19 better than his predecessor. He said in his March 1 State of the Union address, “It’s time for Americans to get back to work and fill our great downtowns again.” Harris planned to remain masked on the guidance of the White House medical team. People expected to be in close proximity to Biden are tested daily. Up to this point, Biden’s ability to avoid the virus seemed to defy the odds, even with the testing procedures in place for those expected to be in close contact with him. He was isolating at the White House and “continuing to carry out all of his duties fully,” she said. When Biden’s predecessor, President Donald Trump, contracted the disease in October 2020, it was a far different time. Omicron's BA.5 sub-strain, believed to be even more contagious, now makes up more than 65% of US cases. The first lady, who was wearing a mask, said she tested negative earlier in the day. He said Biden appears to be pursuing a treatment that should enable him to recover without facing even worse health risks. Biden also called South Carolina Rep. Jim Clyburn to wish him a happy birthday and congratulate him on receiving an award from the NAACP. The CDC says symptoms can appear two to 14 days after exposure to the virus.

The US president is experiencing mild symptoms and will continue working but in isolation, the White House said on Thursday.

"Biden is fully vaxxed/boosted and reportedly on a therapeutic (Paxlovid) that significantly mitigates symptoms. He, his wife Melania and other White House staff contracted it after an event for Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett in September 2020. The index quickly retraced that loss and by mid-morning was back to near the unchanged mark on the day. Just called Senator Casey, Congressman Cartwright, and Mayor Cognetti (and my Scranton cousins!) to send my regrets for missing our event today.— President Biden (@POTUS) Biden faces dual challenges of soaring inflation and Russia's land assault on Ukraine. His popularity has dropped sharply over the past year. Feel better, @POTUS!" "It's not in their interest or the public's interest not to get vaccinated," Biden, told reporters at Joint Base Andrews, referring to people who were not vaccinated. Biden had last tested negative on Tuesday. "Elderly people are more at risk for developing complications from Covid," Farber said. They should get vaccinated now." Keeping busy!" "Folks, I'm doing great.

Biden is experiencing "mild symptoms", the White House said in a statement.

You had to put on your windshield wipers to get literally the oil slick off the window. Biden also called South Carolina Rep. Jim Clyburn to wish him a happy birthday and congratulate him on receiving an award from the NAACP. "He's doing fine," she said. White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said Biden has begun taking Paxlovid, an antiviral drug designed to reduce the severity of the disease. Thanks for your concern," Biden tweeted. The first frost, you know what was happening?

President 'takes reasonable precautions against Covid but does his job', says the White House chief of staff, Ron Klain.

Jean-Pierre said the first lady, Jill Biden, was in close contact with the president, but she declined to discuss others who also might have been exposed, citing privacy reasons. Biden, in a blazer and Oxford shirt, recorded a video from the White House balcony telling people: “I’m doing well, getting a lot of work done. For more than a year, Joe Biden’s ability to avoid the coronavirus seemed to defy the odds.

President Joe Biden's Covid-19 symptoms remained mild as of late Thursday and he continues to convalesce at the White House, a top adviser told CNN on ...

You have heard from Dr. O'Connor in the letter. First lady Jill Biden, who is considered a close contact but has tested negative, will stay in Delaware through the weekend and "following (US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) guidelines," he said. But I'll check in with them (the White House medical unit) this morning, I'll check in with him this morning." Asked again whether any of Biden's symptoms were getting worse, Jha told CNN, "Nope. As of 10:00 p.m. last night, no. "Dr. O'Connor is his personal physician. Biden tested positive for Covid-19 on Thursday, becoming the second US president to contract the virus during the two-and-a-half year pandemic.

Fox News's primetime stars chided Biden for contracting the virus they say he alleged couldn't be caught with a vaccine.

And then heasked why no Secret Service agents were called to testify, conveniently leaving out the part where they submitted a single text message to the committee after deleting all their exchanges from that day. He skewered the committee for not calling the House speaker, Nancy Pelosi, the Senate majority leader, Chuck Schumer, or Washington mayor Muriel Bowser to testify about the lack of security at the Capitol while suggesting a slew of crude reinforcements that might’ve kept the mob at bay. Science, and the left’s supposed efforts to monopolize it, was a consistent theme on both Carlson’s and Hannity’s shows. He had Yale School of Public Health epidemiologist Harvey Risch on the show to tout ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine as far more effective defenses against Covid – despite considerable medical assertions to the contrary. Carlson opened his hour-long show with a spirited takedown of Biden, scolding him for spreading the virus during his Middle East trip and White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre for dismissing the question of where the president might have contracted the virus. On Thursday night, as the Congressional hearings into the January 6 Capitol riot drew to a close, Tucker Carlson directed his outrage at a president he felt had lied and was not being held accountable for falsehoods that shook popular faith in the American democratic system.

The 79-year-old president is still showing only mild symptoms, according to his White House physician.

Both were being considered a close contact of the president. This, in turn, allows the immune system to better combat the infection. He has been vaccinated and boosted twice...and is feeling well enough to perform duties from the White House," Dr Fauci added. The president's doctor's assessment was echoed by his chief medical advisor, National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases director Dr Anthony Fauci, who told CBS that he "fully expects" Mr Biden to "do very well". "There has been nothing in the course of his illness so far which gives me cause to alter that initial expectation," Dr O'Connor said. Dr O'Connor added that he believes that the president - who is fully vaccinated and boosted - "will respond favourably [to the medication], as most maximally protected patients do."

“The only reason we’re not seeing more deaths and more hospitalizations is because we have this built up immunity wall from all the infections, boosters, vaccinations and combinations of all that.” Long Covid is an umbrella term for a range of mild to severe symptoms from breathing problems to brain fog and serious organ damage. “White House protocols are rooted in and sometimes exceed CDC guidance,” the White House official said, adding that people are still required to test for the virus before meeting with the president. Biden is also following the broader White House protocol for staff and reporters who test positive and are required to test negative before returning to the building. “The President is fully vaccinated and twice-boosted, so I anticipate that he will respond favorably, as most maximally protected patients do.” “The White House is a unique place to work and as such we have distinct protocols to ensure that our staff can operate safely and effectively.”
