In an update on Saturday, President Joe Biden's physician said that his symptoms 'continue to improve,' though he now also has sore throat and body aches.
“The good news is that [Biden is] in generally good health," Dr. Fauci told Spectrum News' Kevin Frey, mentioning he spoke with President Biden's physician Dr. Kevin O'Connor on Friday morning. "He's been vaccinated, he's been doubly boosted. And he's on an antiviral drug, Paxlovid, which clearly has a very positive impact in preventing people from progressing to severe disease.
"The president does what every other person in America does every day, which is he takes reasonable precautions against COVID but does his job," White House Chief of Staff Ron Klain told MSNBC late in the afternoon on Thursday. It was all part of an administration effort to shift the narrative from a health scare to a display of Biden as the personification of the idea that most Americans can get COVID and recover without too much suffering and disruption if they've gotten their shots and taken other important steps to protect themselves.
"That's the balance that we have to strike," Osterholm said. "The president of the United States will do very well. But that may not be true for everyone." Asked about the possibility Biden might need to be hospitalized, Jha stressed that the president was "doing well" and added that there were "obviously a lot of resources available here at the White House to take care of him."
