WASHINGTON — The White House confirmed on Saturday that the strain of coronavirus that infected President Biden several days ago is likely to have been BA.5, the highly contagious Omicron subvariant now comprising most new infections in the United States.
“The president’s causative agent is most likely the BA.5 variant,” said a Saturday morning letter from the president’s personal physician, Dr. Kevin C. O’Connor. He added that confirmation, which came from preliminary genetic sequencing, “does not affect the treatment plan in any way.”
BA.5 now accounts for eight out of 10 new coronavirus cases in the United States, and although it does not make people sicker than previous variants, it spreads quickly and evades the immunity protection conferred by vaccines and prior infections.
Despite his COVID diagnosis this week, Biden continued to work — becoming part of the working-through-COVID dilemma that millions of others have experienced in the last two and a half years.
He was supposed to head to Pennsylvania on Thursday afternoon, then spend the weekend on the beach in Delaware. Instead, he will be isolating at the White House until at least the middle of next week.

President Poster Boy for the ‘New Wave’ of COVID which undoubtedly will make it necessary for mail in voting for the midterms.
Pointless announcement.

Blah,blah. What does it matter at this point? Marxist meat puppet.
It matters because you want him gone before the midterms so Hairass can only potentially serve 1 1/2 terms rather than 2 1/2.
So, have they isolated the virus yet? How do they know this?
And really, as already stated, who cares...
He also had a case of the 24 hour cancer.
What causes his dementia, and what can we do about it? That is a more important question. And, is the person really running things in good health?

They misspelled BS.
“...although it does not make people sicker than previous variants, it spreads quickly and evades the immunity protection conferred by vaccines and prior infections.”
So it’s a cold, then.
However they sort out which variant is which, I’d think they’d run the tests for the resident of the United States.
Might be important for treatment protocols and such.
