another event today with the Bidens, celebrating Cinco de Mayo... see any/many mask?

Biden is 79 years old. So many people around him have gotten it. I just don't want him to get it.... even if he is vaxxed and boosted. I know everyone is tested at these events, but they were at the White House Correspondents Dinner the other night too. And yet Jonathan Karl and other journalists came down with it afterward.

Journalists from multiple news outlets test positive after White House Correspondents Dinner weekend:

In the days since WHCD weekend, reporters and staffers from CNN, ABC News, NBC News, CBS News, Politico, and other participating news organizations have tested positive for the virus. Most notably, ABC's Jon Karl, who shook hands with President Biden and who sat next to Kim Kardashian, has fallen ill, as Politico's Maxwell Tani first reported.
