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.

Knuffin
He could have MonkeyPox and we wouldn’t know.
Last thing I want is a 30 day period of mourning and a three month memorial quarantine.
.
Because millions upon millions of guys named Benjamin told them to?
.
they can’t tell WITH CERTAINTY WHAT STRAIN HE HAS???
are you friggin kiddin me...
The BA.5 variant is better than the B.A. Baracus variant. That one will kick your arse.
I expected someone to tear into this:
“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.”
I pity the fool that messes with the BA strain...
It’s a frickin’ cold.
Biden is sick? Who cares?
(Similar to wishing Lenin a speedy recovery in 1924.)
Ironically, I had an unusual headache the other day, and until yesterday peeing far too much all week (a symptom that my system’s fighting something).
It was probably BA5. Good thing I haven’t been tested. /s
But I HAVE had the shot. All 5, actually. Just now. /s/s
Southern Comfort cures all ;-) ;-) ;-)
(it’s been a LONG couple of days working outside; pardon)
Nah, the Dems were so desperate to get him out there running around and “fixing” things that they never realized a 79 year old man doesn’t respond to constant stress and travel unless he’s Donald trump.
Everyone within hundreds of yards around him is "fully vaccinated" (sic), probably triple boostered on pain of immediate dismissal.
“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.”
$$$$$$$$$$
The 22nd amendment says a POTUS can only be elected twice. It says nothing about the timing.
If Biden had stepped down on day one of his Residency, Harris could still theoretically be selected in 2024 and 2028.
“Likely” means they don’t know for sure. Which means they have no way of testing for this, which means it doesn’t matter anyways.
Obama and Valerie Jarrett are pulling the strings.
Likely? Likely? Sheesh.
