Joe Biden fractures foot after slipping while playing with dog
The Guardian ^ | 11.30.2020 | Guardian staff and agencies

American president-elect Joe Biden has fractured his right foot after slipping while playing with his dog Major.

The injury was discovered in a scan on Sunday and will likely require him to wear a boot for several weeks, his doctor said.

Biden suffered the injury on Saturday and visited an orthopedist in Newark, Delaware, on Sunday afternoon, his office said.

“Initial x-rays did not show any obvious fracture,” but medical staff ordered a more detailed CT scan, his doctor, Kevin O’Connor, said in a statement. The subsequent scan found tiny fractures of two small bones in the middle of his right foot, O’Connor said.

“It is anticipated that he will likely require a walking boot for several weeks,” O’Conner said.

Fractures are a concern generally as people age, but Biden’s appears to be a relatively mild one based on his doctor’s statement and the planned treatment. At 78 he will be the oldest president when he’s inaugurated in January; he often dismissed questions about his age during the campaign.

Reporters covering the president-elect were not afforded the opportunity to see Biden enter the doctor’s office Sunday, despite multiple requests. Leaving the doctor’s office to head to an imaging center for his CT scan, Biden was visibly limping, though he walked without a crutch or other aid.

If Biden is declared winner and dies before taking the oath of presidential office, Donald Trump becomes the elected President.

First of all, Biden shouldn't refer to Harris as his dog if he wants to continue receiving the support of the #metoo movement participants and second, Kamala better up her game.

I predict that shortly after entering office, he dies of the China virus. That will be used to really lock down and control the population. They will claim it is so deadly that even the president of the United States was killed by it.

Even the Chinese must be sick of Biden's smug, self-satisfied pose....and that annoying Chiclet grin.

More like he tripped over the dog. Go ahead and put him in the wheelchair now. He’s too frail for crutches.

Yep.

Could China have arranged for the election to be stolen, providing fraudulent ballots so as to be able to be in control of the office of the President in exchange for not releasing info (?) or pictures (?) of Biden and/or his son?

So many Chinese nationals have been spying here and we give them full rights to defend themselves when China would IMMEDIATELY shoot someone who did that in the head and make the family pay for the bullet in order to claim their body.

People with dementia fall down a lot. Falling and getting injured is, a lot of times, the beginning of the end health-wise for people with dementia. People with dementia shouldn’t be President.

Were that to happen the DNC would move Harris up or pick another to take the presidential office. Trump would not remain in office.

“When this happens to horses they.... ah, never mind.”

This past summer I slipped at the boat ramp. Went to the ER, Fractured in 3 places. They sent me to a Orthopaedics Dr. He wanted to put a six in metal plate in my leg first thing in the AM. I told, him can’t it wait, I am going to the Keys this weekend and have a fishing tournament the next weekend. He said NO. So I said I need a second opinion. Pissed him off. Dr #2 put a cast on me, I went to both. Now I am almost back to normal.
