NPR article with more details:

quote:

Biden tests positive for COVID, and shows mild symptoms, White House says
President Biden has tested positive for COVID-19, the White House announced on Thursday.

He is fully vaccinated and twice boosted and, according to White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, "experiencing very mild symptoms. He has begun taking Paxlovid."
...
Really hate the Biden admin and how it's put my family and community at risk for long term health issue. The fact that Biden is experiencing symptoms at all suggests they get to roll the dice on developing longer term impacts, just like the rest of us have to do repeatedly for the foreseeable future as reinfections become common. That's one of their main legacies.

he has symptoms too which uhhhh isn't good news for him
Yep.

After my kid got it at daycare and realizing that there's no reasonable way we can get her out of daycare I admit I've shifted my mindset from "never get COVID" to "Get COVID way less often than everyone else" which is why we're opening up a tiny bit and doing stuff like saying that on a given weekend we might interact with one other family and accept a small risk from that since between daycare and possible exposures at work there doesn't seem to be a point in being a complete hermit forever.
Think the vast vast majority of parents still taking things seriously end up with a similar outlook. Avoiding COVID is still technically possible, but it's not really a surprise when parents get infected via their children's group childcare setting and so people just have to try their best or decide COVID is not a big deal entirely. It's a bad situation that was baked in by the co-ordinated early spring abandonment of NPIs.

If the CDC guidance is sufficient for the rest of us why does the White House need to go above and beyond that guidance?

the democrats want to lose in 2022 and maybe 2024 but by a reasonable amount so the donors believe that good things are right around the corner if they vote! and donate!

the democrats also know that with Biden at the top of the ticket, they'll get absolutely reamed

so what I'm saying is that there's a slight chance that they decide to do a soft coup and replace his paxlovid with sugar cubes

My parents claim that they don't go out to eat, but after I visited mine for the first time since 2019, back in March, my mom revealed she's been eating at the senior center, and couldn't comprehend that I don't eat my lunch in the break room with everyone else.

Then about two weeks later, my parents went out to eat for their anniversary, and my dad could not shut up about how they have a chart at Longhorn Steak House and they cook the steak perfectly to the number you pick.

Yeah, I don't know when or how I'm going to visit my parents again for a while.

I bet they had too many boomers sending their steak back because they asked for rare when they really wanted it well done or maybe a hint of pink in the very middle so they had to replace it with a picture chart.

Even if he's taking paxlovid he will still probably have a rebound right? Like I don't think he will die but he's old as poo poo and will probably have lingering issues

Nah, it's that restaurant steaks are all made in sous vide machines now, then very very very briefly seared, and they just let you pick the temperature setting.

Telling customers that would spoil the magic, so they came up with the charts.

Rebounds aren't rare but they aren't something that the majority of people get who take Paxlovid. Plus they're absolutely gonna give him more than a 5 day course because by now we know that it really aught to be a ten day prescription anyway.

You're probably right about that. I'm sure my parents wouldn't have even told me they went out to eat if my dad wasn't in love with that chart.

Not only will nothing good ever happen again, but these high profile cases are actively bad. You'll never hear about any negative outcome short of death, and the odds of anyone rich or powerful dying are vanishingly small unless they're a weird, die-hard legitimate anti-vaxxer. These cases do nothing except prove how mild COVID really is when you have the best healthcare in the world and people who will pump you full of every available drug the instant you pop positive on your daily surveillance tests.

Lots of pretty high profile people clearly have it pretty rough, but you never hear about it. It's just the standard "thankful for the vaccines!" routine before they vanish off the map and mysteriously return a month later.

eg Ol Doc Fauci being thankful and mild before he vanished from the public eye for weeks. I'm surprised that we heard about his post-paxlovid rebound.
