WASHINGTON (AP) – President Joe Biden tested positive for COVID-19 on Thursday, underscoring the persistence of the highly contagious virus as new variants challenge the nation’s efforts to resume normalcy after two and a half years of pandemic disruptions.

White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said that Biden was experiencing “mild symptoms” and has begun taking Paxlovid, an antiviral drug designed to reduce the severity of the disease.
She said Biden “will isolate at the White House and will continue to carry out all of his duties fully during that time. He has been in contact with members of the White House staff by phone this morning, and will participate in his planned meetings at the White House this morning via phone and Zoom from the residence.”
Biden, 79, is fully vaccinated, after getting two doses of the Pfizer coronavirus vaccine shortly before taking office, a first booster shot in September and an additional dose March 30.
Ouch. Yesterday he announced that he had cancer. Difficult week.
this is the only POSITIVE about him
So, how many times has he already been vaccinated and boosted?!?
4 or 5??
Perhaps Dr. Fauci Should be consulted and drafted to give him yet another eight or nine vaccinations. It won’t to do much other than score points with the woke crowd
fjb!!!
He should have stayed in his basement.
I hope he recovers quickly.
Can’t even hope that he doesn’t make it. As horrible as the demented man is, I am afraid Camela is WAY worse. Also, he will be very easy to crush in 2024. She – who knows?
I guess the saline solution they gave him didn’t work too well.
Poupko will be making a mi sheberach for POTUS
Why is this news?
He was nine tenths dead before taking office. If he’d kick off (or rather when he kicks off) it will effect the world like a fruit fly biting the dust. His words ripple across the globe like the ripples induced by a snail crawling across the bottom of the ocean.
Honestly, the effect of tikun olam when a 79 year old senile Jew trims his nails l’cvod shabbas is infinitely more meaningful than the combined accomplishments of biden’s entire life.
BH . Heavenly Justice ⚖ is a beautiful thing
Somehow, he’ll manage to blame Israel for this…
Yay, our president is sick; what a wonderful Simcha!
Any chance it might be lethal? Not that I would wish they on not my president who happens to be a Chinese spy. Unlike liberals who wished death on Trump we are decent people
