It was a concerning day at the White House when President Joe Biden woke up feeling a bit under the weather.
After taking a COVID-19 test, the results came back positive. The 81-year-old leader was disappointed, but tried to remain upbeat. “I guess even the most important people in the world can’t avoid this pesky virus,” he said with a chuckle.
Fortunately, Biden’s symptoms were relatively mild – just a runny nose and some fatigue. Still, he knew he needed to take it easy and isolate for a while. “I’m going to work from home for the next week or so, make sure I get plenty of rest.
Can’t let this thing slow me down too much!” the President remarked.First Lady Jill Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris were quickly tested as well, and thankfully they both came back negative.
The White House medical team is closely monitoring the President’s condition, and he is being treated with the antiviral drug Paxlovid.
Despite the diagnosis, Biden remains upbeat and determined to continue leading the country through this latest challenge.
