In reply to the discussion: President Joe Biden has tested positive for Covid-19 [View all]barbtries
(31,062 posts)14. it's on the rise.
I hope they'll let him rest a couple days.
My old boss and her husband have it for the 3rd time and they're both in their 70s. She's a brilliant PhD but refuses the vaccinations, doesn't mask (she told me to though), and won't even use a pulse oximeter because she's Indian and says they only work on white people. She won't call the doctor or get anywhere near paxlovid.
I haven't had it yet to my knowledge. I've had every shot they'd give me and mask in public regularly, never stopped. I told her today, "Your way is not working!"
I hope they will all recover quickly and fully.

Betting he's had all the boosters. He'll feel crappy for a day or two with a sore throat and that will be it....

His numbers are based on wastewater levels of virus - not on people's clinical status.

Remember when Trump showed up to a debate in 2020 when he was infected?
