Biden Catches COVID Again, Despite Consistent Caution
For months on end, Joe Biden has been expressing his concerns over the COVID-19 pandemic, despite the fact that the illness has largely been less and less worrisome in recent days.
As variants and sub-variants of the illness continue to evolve, those who have been worried about catching teh coronavirus have been able to rest a little bit easier, as a number of new strains appear to conjure far less powerful symptoms.
Yet, in spite of this latest lack of concern, President Joe Biden has now caught the virus twice…and within days.
President Joe Biden on Saturday tested positive for Covid-19 once again after consecutive days of testing negative for the virus, his physician said.
Biden, 79, is experiencing no new symptoms and “continues to feel quite well,” Dr. Kevin O’Connor said in a memo shared by the White House.
But he will nevertheless “reinitiate strict isolation procedures,” the presidential physician wrote.
Biden, who is fully vaccinated and has received two booster shots of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine, tweeted Saturday afternoon that he was asymptomatic but would isolate “for the safety of everyone around me.”
He was also rather defiant.
“I’m still at work, and will be back on the road soon,” the president’s tweet said.
The rapid-fire positive tests will keep the already-reluctant Biden sidelined for several more days, which is not a good sign for his historically poor approval ratings.
