Trudeau tests positive for Covid-19

Source: Politico

OTTAWA, Ont. — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has tested positive for Covid-19 for the second time, days after an in-person meeting with President Joe Biden.

“I’ll be following public health guidelines and isolating. I feel okay, but that’s because I got my shots,” Trudeau said in a tweet Monday morning. The prime minister has been triple-vaccinated, having received a booster dose in January. Later that same month, he tested positive for Covid for the first time.

The news comes just after Trudeau’s return from Los Angeles, where he spent much of last week meeting with leaders at the Summit of the Americas. He met with Biden on Thursday.

Trudeau also met last week with California Gov. Gavin Newsom, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Argentine President Alberto Fernández, Barbadian Prime Minister Mia Mottley, Jamaican Prime Minister Andrew Holness, Dominican Republic President Luis Abinader and Google CEO Sundar Pichai.

Trying to infect other world leaders?

Sorry, but this is just stupid.

...infection is inevitable.

But because he is vaccinated and boosted, Trudesu should be fine.

Considering Biden has a similar lifestyle, I am truly surprised he hasn't gotten an infection. He probably is pretty diligent about wearing a mask, and it helps that anyone meeting with him has to be tested.
