President Joe Biden

3RD UPDATE, Saturday AM: Physician to the President Dr. Kevin O'Connor provided an update on Joe Biden's condition Saturday, about 48 hours after the 79-year- ...

But in addition to that, he knows was wants to still engage and interact with people across the country.” Jean-Pierre said that “consistent with White House protocol for positive COVID cases, which goes above and beyond CDC guidance, he will continue to work in isolation until he tests negative. Biden has been vaccinated and double boosted, but at 79, he is in a higher risk category for serious complications. He said that Biden also was experiencing “an occasional dry cough,” which started on Wednesday evening. He has begun taking Paxlovid. Consistent with CDC guidelines, he will isolate at the White House and will continue to carry out all of his duties fully during that time. He had planned to travel to Pennsylvania today for a speech on the new gun safety law and to attend a fundraiser. 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.” But reporters continued to press on the question of how Biden contracted the virus. What matters is we prepared for this moment.” Jean-Pierre and Jha tried to put Biden’s diagnosis into the larger context of the administration’s progress in battling the Covid epidemic, as they noted that vaccinations have greatly reduced the risk of serious illness and hospitalization. He said that risk is further diminished by Biden’s treatment with the antiviral drug Paxlovid. He also said that the president is taking Paxlovid. Biden is isolating and his schedule of events in Pennsylvania on Thursday were canceled.

Fauci said Biden “has no trouble breathing at all right now” and using an inhaler is what Biden “does regularly, when he gets an upper respiratory infection.”.

But that doesn’t mean that everyone has to do that.” “The President is in a position to be able to test every day and wait till he becomes negative before he goes back. “His primary symptoms, though less troublesome, now include sore throat, rhinorrhea, loose cough and body aches,” Dr. Kevin O’Connor wrote. Thursday marked “Day 0” of the President’s Covid-19 timeline, meaning he would be in isolation until at least Tuesday in accordance to the CDC’s guidelines. O’Connor wrote Biden’s “causative agent” is “most likely” the BA.5 Covid-19 variant, which he notes “is responsible for 75-80% of infections in the United States at this time.” His oxygen saturation continues to be excellent on room air.

Ashish Jha, coronavirus response coordinator, and physician Kevin O'Connor say president contracted BA.5 variant.

“Pandemics are declared by the World Health Organization,” Jha said, “and I actually applaud the World Health Organization for declaring that public health emergency of international concern. And I think that’s actually appropriate given that we have a very diverse country with different transmission patterns and and willingness to kind of engage in-in wearing masks.” Right now, we think we can get our arms around this thing but obviously if we need further tools we will invoke them as we need them.” “But I suspect this is going to be a course of Covid that we’ve seen in many Americans who have been fully vaccinated, double-boosted, getting treated with those tools in hand. And I think that’s a very important and effective way of reducing transmission, protecting yourself as well. But thank goodness, our vaccines and therapeutics work well against it, which is why I think the president’s doing well.

Pfizer says Paxlovid has been shown, if taken in the first five days of symptoms, to reduce the hospitalization and death risks by 90 percent for high-risk patients. He said the president would continue taking Tylenol, using an inhaler for his cough and hydrating. Biden finished a third day of treatment with the antiviral Paxlovid on Saturday night and his “predominant symptom now is a sore throat,” wrote Kevin O’Connor, the physician to the president.

President Joe Biden's "symptoms continue to improve significantly," following his Covid-19 diagnosis Thursday, the President's physician wrote in a Sunday ...

"We think it's really important for the American people to know how well the President's doing, which is why we have been so transparent, giving updates several times a day," he said. The CDC defines long Covid as health problems that last four or more weeks after a Covid-19 infection. Biden will continue to isolate in accordance with US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommendations.

President Joe Biden tweeted his Zoom rig on Friday, and it looked so good I suddenly needed to know everything about it. The tweet wasn't about his video ...

It’s good for your mental health, it’s good for your focus, and it’s just better than staring at yourself all day. But, in the Roosevelt Room, there’s a pretty standard camera above a TV conferencing rig, and Biden seems to always sit at the head of the table facing it. For a more achievable presidential Zoom rig, I might recommend former President Barack Obama’s setup: an iPad on a stand. For the most official and highest stakes moments, Biden seems to prefer to set up a high-end camera and feed that into Zoom, much like he’s giving a standard TV broadcast. (Also, there are mics on the table!) The Situation Room has a dedicated setup, and there’s a camera and a Sharp TV built into the wall at Camp David as well. For one thing, you really need a mic on your desk: you’re a long way away from the microphone, and I know Zoom and its partners have gotten better at isolating audio, but you’re still going to sound like you’re shouting from the other side of a football field.
