Biden feels ‘great’ as Covid symptoms ease
After overcoming the majority of his Covid-19 symptoms, US Vice President Joe Biden said on Monday that he feels “great” and anticipates returning to work in full this week.
After participating via video link in a meeting with staff and business leaders on microchip manufacturing, Biden told reporters, “I’m feeling great.”
Biden remarked that he had slept through the night the previous two nights, adding with a smile that “my dog actually had to wake me up this morning.”
Since discovering he had the coronavirus last Thursday, Biden has been quarantined at the White House. He said he hoped to resume working in person “by the end of this week.”
The president has been carrying out his full duties but has observed a lighter schedule during his recovery.
Earlier, the official White House doctor said that the 79-year-old’s condition is much improved, although he continues to receive treatment for the potentially deadly virus.
“His symptoms have now almost completely resolved,” Biden’s physician Kevin O’Connor said in a memorandum to the White House press secretary. “He only notes some residual nasal congestion and minimal hoarseness.”
According to the doctor, Biden’s lungs are still clear, and his pulse, blood pressure, and respiratory rate are all within the normal range.
The memo stated that the president is still taking the antiviral medication Paxlovid and “is not experiencing any shortness of breath.”
Although Biden is the oldest US president in history, his doctor reports that he is generally in good health. He has received two booster shots and has been fully immunized against the coronavirus.
