I just wish Biden would have taken the weekend off.

please--Let me say. There is an incubation period for Covid and I know from a friend's experience with covid she had 2 test that came back negative and the 3rd came back positive.

If I remember from hearing the Doctors on the morning show they said it could take between 5-8 days (some said 5-6) days for symptoms to show. I am in no way wanting VP Biden to have it but just for all the love of safety I just wished he had taken the weekend just to make sure.


I am sure he will be tested but just to be on the safe side.

Go ahead and yell at me. BUT I am not a troll I am just paranoid about Covid myself.

He should be staying at home for the next 2 weeks to make sure he doesn't test positive. Do campaigning virtually. There is no benefit to be out on the campaign trail.

period, he should be quarantining regardless of his questionable negative test and she should not even be in the same STATE that he's in.

I trust that the Biden team knows what they're doing.

I think that he will protect those around him, and be extra careful the next few days.

But his contact was extremely limited, and while there is certainly risk being in that room, I think he was safe.

If he's still campaigning it definitively means he has doctors OKing it, period. Biden has done nothing to make anyone think he's not going to make the right decision about this.

Appropriately, there is a double standard, there should be.

Biden has committed to science; science says you quarantine for 14 days. He is
deviating from his own policies.

Also he could be putting others at risk and not setting a good example.

Fully capable of making his own decisions, and certainly taking the advice of those close to him.

We need to as well.

Biden can continue to be tested and will have medical people with him as they travel.

If there was exposure at the debate, staying home won't change anything about it. Everyone just needs to take precautions and test.
