Vice President Joe Biden is facing a fresh uphill battle with his Covid-19 infection. Biden has tested positive for the virus in the past and had a negative test just a week ago. But today, even after taking the antiviral medication Paxlovid a new positive test result puts the president at a high risk of getting seriously ill. While undergoing a treatment plan, the 79-year-old will remain in isolation in the White House for the remainder of the day. Dr. O'Connor said he anticipates a positive result. Biden's press secretary Jen Psaki said the White House had been prepared to handle this situation for months.
President Biden wrote on Twitter today:
“Folks, today I tested positive for COVID again. This happens with a small minority of folks. I’ve got no symptoms, but I am going to isolate for the safety of everyone around me. I’m still at work and will be back on the road soon.”
Highly contagious, the infection has been creeping into the inner circle of Biden. His family and advisers, including chief medical adviser Anthony S. Fauci, have been infected. President Biden's top medical adviser recently revealed he is experiencing a rebound of his Covid-19 infection after taking the antiviral medication Paxlovid.
The United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released physicians a health and wellness alert on May 24. Advising that Covid-19 symptoms sometimes come back might be how the infection plays out in some individuals, whether they're immunized or treated with drugs like Paxlovid. However, the CDC said many rebound situations involve mild illness, and no reports of significant illness have been reported.
