President JoeBiden takes COVID-19 victory lap, and shot at Trump, after negative test
Biden spoke in the Rose Garden, marching to the podium with a mask but removing it to talk, and drew cheers for saying that he could now return to work in person."My symptoms were mild, my recovery was quick, and I'm feeling great," he said."The entire time I was in isolation, I was able to work. ... It's a real statement about where we are in the fight against COVID-19.
Biden also struggled to pronounce the name of the drug he took, Paxlovid, stumbling over the word before saying,"I used it." On Wednesday morning, White House physician Dr. Kevin O'Connor sent a letter announcing that Biden, who is 79, completed his Paxlovid course Monday night and that antigen tests given Tuesday evening and early Wednesday both came back negative. Biden has stopped taking Tylenol, and his symptoms"are almost completely resolved," giving him the green light to make the speech.
While the routine prompted some questions from the press about what message it sent to people who might want to ask their employer for sick days after contracting the virus, the White House opted to project a message of strength from the president, which continued with Wednesday's speech.
