Former Vice President Joe Biden said Tuesday he and President Trump should not go ahead with next week's presidential debate if Trump still has COVID-19.
Biden, who clashed with Trump at a chaotic first debate last week, told reporters at an airport in Hagerstown, Md., that the pair's second scheduled face-off should follow protocols from health officials.
The former vice president said he will ultimately be guided by the Cleveland Clinic, which is overseeing health conditions for all presidential and vice presidential debates this year.
“I think if he still has COVID, we shouldn’t have a debate,” Biden said of Trump, who was diagnosed with the disease last Thursday.
“I think we were gonna have to follow very strict guidelines. Too many people have been infected. It’s a very serious problem, so I will be guided by the guidelines of the Cleveland Clinic and what the docs say is the right thing to do,” he added.

Biden now has his excuse.
why would he be afraid? According to two polls that concerned Freepers posted Biden jumped to a double digit lead after the debate.
I guess he is much more comfortable around "pliable" pre-pubescent girls.
Do it by Zoom.
Nope, Trump is over Covid now. He is immune and can not carry it. No excuse, debate time!
Biden backing out. Put plexiglass up like they’re doing with the V.P. debates.
Biden is doing all he can to avoid the virus, but can continue to do so. If he were elected President then will he run things from a bunker in WH? At some point his luck runs out and he may get it and with any underlining health issues it could be fatal.
Neither! He’s afraid that his dementia will come out!!!!
Why can’t Biden just wear a mask if he’s scared?
.....The former vice president said he will ultimately be guided by the Cleveland Clinic....
What about Walter Reed Hospital?
but the Cleveland Clinic is guided by Biden!
video - 40 secs in:
John Roberts (FOX) on how Biden debate negotiator, Brady Williamson, suggested to Commission on Presidential Debates that they mute microphones in future debates to stop interruptions.
this fits with what I heard on BBC following the debate: top story on their news bulletin was Biden wants the Commission to bring in new rules to stop Trump interrupting. an hour later, they led with the Commission saying they were considering mute button etc:

It will over by then the CDC says 10 days and they also say you don’t need to be retested this is from September 2020
He has had for about 7 days already
From the CDC:
Doctors currently believe the virus is most contagious about the time symptoms appear. People who are otherwise healthy remain contagious for about a week, while people who are sicker and have other health complications may take longer to clear the virus and be contagious for up to two weeks, said Thomas Fekete, chair of the department of medicine at Temple University’s Katz School of Medicine.
For that reason, the CDC recommends staying home, away from others. until:
It’s been 10 days since symptoms first appeared.
You’ve gone 24 hours without a fever and without the use of a fever-reducing medication.
Other symptoms are improving.
I’d put plexiglass up even if there wasn’t the virus. Who knows what kind of kooties these low lifes have?
Do it by video.
Trump from the White House.
Biden from his basement.
Tucker Carlson and Emerald Robinson the moderators.
Best debate ever.
Basementman, the cowardly clown, should just shut up.
