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.

But then again...maybe Murkowski or Collins would get the job.

Or, for a show of "bipartisanship"

{{{drumroll}}

Mitt Romney!

“Loose cough”?

To go with his loose bowels.

And loose morals.

(feel free to add on folks!)

Normally when POTUS gets a minor head cold, he goes to Walter Reed for a full exam.

When Trump had COVID, there was a 24/7 patriot vigil on the street.

(We were there when he escaped and did the drive-by. Talk about cool)

They know that Biden’s response will be far different so they keep him at the White House.

It’s either be an empty street or the same group of Patriots carrying different messages.

I wonder if they are preparing us for the ascension and coronation of Kamala. Queen Kamala

I am still awaiting one more Royal funeral in my lifetime. The last one was damn near 60 years ago when I was only a kid of 21.

He dies 3-4 weeks before the midterms. Big funeral. Sympathy vote. Heels-up harris becomes our new maximum leader.

[EvilCapitalist]

Loose Brains.

[frank ballenger]

Kamala still giggling as she tours the White House with the decorators holding fabric swatches and color cards.

[frank ballenger]

Gosh…perhaps another booster would save him?

Your words here may save him just in the nick of time.😇

[RetiredTexasVet]

I assume the rounds of Wuhan/Fauci virus will continue until he leaves office or dies unexpectedly.

[CaptainK]

Brilliant.

[tet68]

Say good nite Joe.

Good nite Joe. End of line.

[Blood of Tyrants]

Unfortunately there is no detectable brain activity.

[fella]

Put him on one of those Chinese ventilators.

[NautiNurse]

If you want him to test negative, give him a cognitive test

Perfect! Thanks for the laugh...

President Joe Biden continued to test positive for COVID-19

Translation: Biden's handlers want to keep him from more episodes of foot-in-mouth-disease.

[Sacajaweau]

Never said she was...was inferring that Kamala would appoint her. I wrote the same in a previous post.

[butlerweave]

= Joe is in bad shape

[Political Junkie Too]

"Loose cough" means that the virus is settling into his chest and lungs.

Not a good sign.
