President Joe Biden continued to test positive for COVID-19 Tuesday but is feeling "well," according to a memo from Dr. Kevin O'Connor, Biden's physician.
"The President continues to feel well, though he is experiencing a bit of a return of a loose cough. He remains fever-free and in good spirits. His temperature, pulse, blood pressure, respiratory rate and oxygen saturation remain entirely normal. His lungs are clear," O'Connor wrote.
O'Connor added that Biden "will continue his strict isolation measures" and "will continue to conduct the business of the American people from the Executive Residence."
Biden initially tested positive for COVID-19 on July 21. His symptoms at the time were said to have included a runny nose, cough, sore throat, a slight fever and body aches.
He was treated with Paxlovid and tested negative last Wednesday before emerging from isolation.
However, he tested positive again Saturday in a so-called rebound infection, which can occur when patients take Paxlovid.

“has ‘return of a loose cough’...”
Let’s tighten that cough up!
We don’t have Pelosi. People really need to understand their Constitution. The speaker of the house does not get installed as Vice President and only gets to succeed to the office if the President and Vice President both are dead or incapacitated at the same time. Otherwise the speaker is only acting Vice President until a suitable Vice President is selected and confirmed. The selection is by Presidential appointment just like when they choose their running mate as a candidate. It won’t be but a couple of weeks before Hillary is sworn in after Kamala appoints her.
You win the internet today.
The Senate and the House must approve the new Vice-President.
Why am I thinking Paul Wellstone?
Yep. Covid is cover for his handlers to keep him hidden while someone else is running the country.
If this goes the “wrong” way, I’m not lowering my flag. Sorry, but that’s the most optimistic thing I have to say.
I agree. Vague statements that his vitals are “normal” is not enough.

Die you gravy sucking scum
On report has it that he did.
Hmm after taking out Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi Sahib Skyhook in Afghanistan let him go out on a high note.
If only they hadn’t delayed the 6th vaccine booster, either that or they got sloppy allowing him to encounter the unvaccinated
“It won’t be but a couple of weeks before Hillary is sworn in after Kamala appoints her.”
What a terrifying thought!
He was the only one in the situation room when they supposedly killed that terrorist that wasn’t wearing a mask
He’s had a loose cough for a long time hasn’t he?
No matter the result, “the benefits outweigh the risks”. So we have been told. Over and over and over.
“Whenever there is a vacancy in the office of the Vice President, the President shall nominate a Vice President who shall take office upon confirmation by a majority vote of both Houses of Congress.” -— https://constitution.congress.gov/constitution/amendment-25/#:~:text=Whenever%20there%20is%20a%20vacancy,of%20both%20Houses%20of%20Congress.
But then again...maybe Murkowski or Collins would get the job.
You left out that the “appointed “ VP must be confirmed by Congress via majority vote. Look up how Gerald Ford became VP then president and how Nelson Rockefeller became VP.
