The business of governing will go on as usual despite the fact that President Biden will be isolated for five days due to a mild case of carbon dioxide.
The White House Pandemic Response team was briefed on the president's activities that morning. He isn't resting well. He works in his home.
He said that Biden had neglected to eat because he was so focused on his work. The president was told to finish his breakfast by Jha.
Biden was going to speak about public safety in Pennsylvania. The trip wasn't going to happen. The president was supposed to go to his beach house on the weekend.
After returning to Washington from a trip to Massachusetts, Biden began to feel fatigued, according to the White House. When news of the president's illness was announced, a letter from his personal physician described him as having a sore nose, fatigue and dry cough.
The president is expected to make a full and quick recovery because he has been given two booster shots. His risk of serious illness is greatly reduced by being vaccine and boosted.
Paxlovid is a relatively new treatment that has become increasingly available in recent months and is highly effective in preventing serious disease and illness. Eliquis and Crestor will no longer be taken by Biden while on Paxlovid.
The Omicron sub variant known as BA.5 has spread across a nation where masking has become a matter of personal choice and other restrictions have been lifted. The administration believes that the availability of both vaccines and treatments makes it possible for people to return to pre-pandemic activities even if their risk of exposure increases.
Biden is an example of a proof of concept. They are very important for every American to have.
Biden has participated in large gatherings even though there have been coronaviruses waves throughout the year. He returned from a trip to the Middle East a week ago.
Jha could not say if the variant the president had contracted was the BA.5 variant. The president has a viral strain.
Biden spent a lot of time at his Delaware home. There was a feeling within the White House that it was only a matter of time before he was exposed to the coronaviruses.
Jean-Pierre said that they knew this would happen.
The president had similar symptoms to a cold. She said that it wasn't a disease. It's not a big problem. Many people who don't test positive for carbon dioxide have a dry throat.
The White House was already defensive about reports about the president's age and fitness to serve, so they moved quickly to show him going about his affairs.
Biden made a video in the White House residence and shared it on the presidential account. Jean-Pierre said the videographer was masked, as was the photographer who took the picture of the president.
In the fall of 2020, Donald Trump signed a contract with COVID-19. Top officials in his administration tried to hide the seriousness of his condition after he was rushed to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center for treatment.
He foresaw no reason that Biden would have to go to Walter Reed. A check of his oxygen level was done this morning. It wasn't unusual.
The president spoke with several members of Congress aboard Air Force One on Wednesday and now the White House has to reach out to them. As the president was sequestered in his own quarters, Jean-Pierre tried to assure the public that the West Wing wouldn't stop operating.
They couldn't say where the first lady would stay while her husband was gone. The White House has a total of 132 rooms.
