Reports have emerged stating that US President Joe Biden has tested positive for COVID-19. According to Janet Murguía, the president and CEO of UnidosUS, Biden was expected to speak at the organization's conference in Las Vegas on Wednesday night. However, it was later revealed that he would not be attending due to his positive test result.
In response, Biden's doctor confirmed that he had received his first dose of Paxlovid and would be following CDC guidelines by self-isolating at his home in Delaware. The news of his positive test result came after he presented with upper respiratory symptoms, including a runny nose and a non-productive cough. Despite feeling well enough to attend his first event of the day, further testing was conducted which revealed his positive diagnosis.
Fortunately, Biden's symptoms were described as mild and his temperature and breathing rate were normal. White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre stated that Biden would continue to fulfill his duties while self-isolating. However, the confirmation of his positive test result did not come without some delay, as he was an hour and a half late to his scheduled appearance at the conference.
In light of this news, Murguía expressed her disappointment at Biden's absence from the conference and revealed that she had spoken with him on the phone. She shared that the president was also disappointed to not be able to attend and that he had tested positive for COVID-19. Biden, who is 81 years old, had been scheduled to take the stage earlier in the day but was unable to do so due to his positive test result.
This development comes at a time when there have been calls for Biden to step down from the 2024 presidential election due to concerns over his ability to govern for a second term. However, the president has remained defiant, stating that he is still the best person for the job. In a recent interview with BET News, he stated that he would only consider dropping out of the race if advised by medical professionals due to a serious health condition. He also reassured the public that he has no undisclosed medical conditions.
The news of Biden's positive COVID-19 test has sparked discussions about the safety of public events and gatherings, especially in light of the ongoing pandemic.
