As soon as we thought that it is over and President Biden made it out of the infection, he tested positive once again. Quite unusually, he took to Twitter to announce the bad news and to give an update on the situation.
“Folks, today I tested positive for COVID again.” – Biden’s tweet says. “This happens with a small minority of folks. I’ve got no symptoms but I am going to isolate myself for the safety of everyone around me. I’m still at work, and will be back on the road soon.”
Twitter Reacts To Joe Biden’s Covid Reinfection
According to the White House’s physician and the world health organization, this type of reinfection is a rare case. However, it can happen in patients that take Paxlovid to ‘cure’ the infection.
While people ask why this medicine is still recommended for use, the Center for disease control states that “Paxlovid continues to be recommended for early-stage treatment of mild to moderate COVID-19 among persons at high risk for progression to severe disease.”
President Biden is 79 years old. As we are aware since the very beginning of the pandemic, older people are high-risk patients. Fortunately, Joe Biden seems to keep up with the disease just fine. According to the White House spokesman, the President is feeling well, and at the moment even after testing positive, has no symptoms at all.
President Joe Biden first tested positive on the 21st of July. Since then he had been in isolation in the White House. Separated from all his colleagues and family, he continues working behind closed doors.
Last Wednesday President Joe Biden tested negative for the virus and finally left the White House. He had met with numerous people and had been negative for three days. On Saturday, he tested positive again. And for this, Twitter has not been silent.
The search term ‘Covid again’ got at the top of the charts on Twitter. Many comments emerge on social media and not all of them are good.
“You walked around without a mast and could have infected people. My God.” – one tweet says. Another one points out how the President is setting a “horrible example” of how a responsible person should behave after retaining the virus.
There were many comments that urged the president to rest. The people are amazed by the strength and the will that the president showed during his isolation days. However, they urge him to give his health a priority.
As you’d expect, the topic of the effectiveness of the vaccines comes to the surface once more. The Twitterati point out that Biden is the one that claimed that if you vaccinate yourself you can’t be infected. And yet, he has a full vaccination card, a booster dose, and again got the infection two times in a row.
