Statement from Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre:
This morning, President Biden tested positive for COVID-19. He is fully vaccinated and twice boosted and experiencing very mild symptoms. He has begun taking Paxlovid.
Consistent with CDC guidelines, he will isolate at the White House and will continue to carry out all of his duties fully during that time. He has been in contact with members of the White House staff by phone this morning, and will participate in his planned meetings at the White House this morning via phone and Zoom from the residence.
Consistent with White House protocol for positive COVID cases, which goes above and beyond CDC guidance, he will continue to work in isolation until he tests negative. Once he tests negative, he will return to in-person work.
Out of an abundance of transparency, the White House will provide a daily update on the President’s status as he continues to carry out the full duties of the office while in isolation.
Per standard protocol for any positive case at the White House, the White House Medical Unit will inform all close contacts of the President during the day today, including any Members of Congress and any members of the press who interacted with the President during yesterday’s travel. The President’s last previous test for COVID was Tuesday, when he had a negative test result.

President Biden’s first year was the greatest year of job creation in American history, with more than 6 million jobs created. The unemployment rate dropped from 6.2% when Biden took office to 3.9%, the biggest single year drop in American history. Experts estimate the lowest child poverty rate ever in 2021. Nearly 5 million Americans have newly gained health insurance coverage. More Black women appointed to the U.S. Court of Appeals than any president – even over 8 years – in history. First majority non-white Cabinet in history, with most women in the Cabinet, including first woman Treasury Secretary, first… Read more »
When you artificially close the economy and force people to stay home then you allow them to go back to work that’s not called job creation.
Who cares about skin color? you should pick people based on their abilities not skin color. That being said Harris is the dumbest politician I’ve seen in my lifetime, she was only picked for skin color.
Great list of accomplishments /s
You’ll bury your head in the sand and straight up lie to yourself, all to deny the facts.
Any time you’d like to join reality and embrace the progressive kindness that liberals are bringing to this country, we’d love to have you!
Such progressive kindness that, for example, one of six Supreme Court justices who voted a certain way in Dobbs – and only he – is being smeared for his skin color. Such progressive kindness that women are being forced to share intimate spaces with men who claim to be women in order to prey on them.
This comment makes me so sad for you.
I hope you learn to love and accept all people for who they are, including yourself.
The child poverty rate was lowered bc of the emergency covid funds that sent every family money every month. He could have and should have kept that going if he really cared about child poverty. My family and so many other families were so grateful to have that. It was a life changer. Additionally we still don’t have any changes to things he said he would help us with : Childcare assistance – Adams just said 3k wont make it past 2026 bc there is no federal funding. Student Debt Relief, No changes to our horrible and expensive healthcare system,… Read more »
I’m happy to tell you that Republicans are the ones voting against extending Covid relief funding while supporting a decrease in the budgets for childcare and paid family leave. If you research what democrats and republicans stand for and how both parties have voted on these issues, you will see that democrats are doing what they can to push these laws forward in the direction you’re seeking. The president does not have full autonomy. The house and the senate need to pass these bills and laws as well, and unfortunately republicans are preventing progress. If you want paid family leave,… Read more »
If you believe that the employment rate is a result of Biden, then you really have your head in the sand…
Electrical vehicle chargers? Sure let’s give him credit for that, and ignore his true contributions like the gas prices…
You used the expression “geeze.”
This is from the name that certain gentiles pray to, i.e. Yoshke.
Unfortunately many people are not aware of or are not careful about non-Jewish expressions.
Be more careful with figures of speech such as “geez”, “touch wood”, “fingers crossed”, etc. These are decidedly non-Jewish and don’t belong in our vocabulary.
That was funny!!!!!!
You are welcome in NY! We provide equal rights and health care for all women. You will not be forgotten or left behind. Feminists stand together against the patriarchy.
Will he be admitted to the hospital, and be forced to take remdesiver, put on a ventilator and starved?
Any usa president who threatened israel by pushing israel to give up land, should expect to suffer afterwards. Israel because of his visit agreed to expand illegal arab settlements, endangering jewish settlements in gush etzion and other areas. Biden removed the israeli flag when going to visit with abbas. Abbas said when meeting with biden that he wants the end of israel and a palestian state is a step towards it. Biden announced he wants a palestinian state. He just gave 300 million to the PLO. Biden demanded israel allow PLO arabs to fly over israel from ben gurian airport.… Read more »
