President Joe Biden's coughing during an address to the nation about measures to tackle COVID-19 has raised concerns about his health ahead of a test for the virus he's due to receive on Wednesday.

The president tested negative for COVID on Monday a day after he had been in close contact with a White House staff member who had tested positive for the virus.

Biden appeared to cough and excused himself twice while speaking about his administration's plans to deal with COVID amid the surge of the Omicron variant in the U.S. He also appeared to briefly have a catch in his throat.

"I know there are some parts of this country where people are very eager to get their booster, where it's harder to get an appointment. Excuse me," Biden said, coughing into his hand.

He soon coughed again while discussing Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) vaccination sites and later seemed to catch his breath while talking about military medical teams.

Some social media users highlighted Biden's cough and expressed concern about it.

Bruce Coleridge-Taylor Wright, editorial director of NewsOne, shared a gif of Biden putting on a face mask and wrote: "Biden coughing while addressing the nation about Covid and omicron..."

I now know why he picked her: Nobody dares remove Biden from office. On the other hand a potato would be better than him.

And make sure the ventilator has a prominent display that says "Manufactured under the auspices of Donald J. Trump, 45th President of The United States.".

This is like the past Kremlinology where the array of fearless leaders on the military hardware review dias were analyzed to determine the state of the Rooskie State.

RE: Psicki Psacki said he is asymptomatic
................................................

So a Freudian slip telling what all the concerned staffers talk about all day backstage “What about our career futures if old Joe kicks the bucket?”

or just a word seen on the propaganda sheets so much she accidentally used it inappropriately?

I suppose Kamala spending hours in the Oval Office with a Manhattan interior design person going over colors and fabrics and measuring the windows will be a sign Joe is fading away.

One wild cherry Luden’s cough drop could have saved his presidency.

Do they still make them? I think Smith Brothers are gone now although the bearded look is found on millions of young men.

I think a Paul Lynde type with a sport coat and a paisley ascot should have run in with a lavender atomizer and sprayed the Chief Executive’s throat every few seconds.

I think Obama had the same reason for picking Biden as V.P.

Xiden was barry soetoro's assassination insurance and The Ho is Joe's.

Do you think she's stupid enough to want to inherit this debacle?

Probably.

I wonder what today's test says.
