President Joe Biden has tested positive for COVID-19 while campaigning in Las Vegas, Nevada. The White House confirmed that Biden is experiencing “mild symptoms” and has received his first dose of the antiviral medication Paxlovid.
Despite testing positive, Biden was spotted leaning out of the window of his presidential vehicle, known as “The Beast”, and giving the press a thumbs-up at the Las Vegas airport. At the time, the president was not wearing a mask.
Biden’s doctor, Dr. Kevin O’Connor, stated that the president’s respiratory rate, temperature, and oxygen levels were all normal. However, the president was experiencing upper respiratory symptoms including a runny nose and a non-productive cough, along with “general malaise”.
