Joe Biden, who this morning tested negative after a five-day Covid-19 isolation, is at the podium of the White House Rose Garden, urging Americans to continue the fight against the pandemic.
Looking, and sounding, much improved after his illness, the 79-year-old president emerged in a suit and wearing trademark aviator sunglasses. He thanked his doctor and medical team for their care, and urged Americans to get vaccinated and boosted: [i]Unfortunately, this Covid is still with us. And it has been for two and a half years. Every person five and over should get a booster shot. If you’re over 50, you should get two. I did.[/i]
Biden, who has been working remotely, tested negative last night and again this morning, according to an earlier update from his physician Kevin O’Connor. The doctor said Biden had completed a five-day course of the antiviral Paxlovid, was no longer taking Tylenol and would wear a mask around others for the next 10 days.
