White House staffer on Air Force One tests positive for COVID. Biden tests negative
And if I may add: Thank God. No way in hell do I want President Biden to contract COVID or any other threatening disease. Period!
But this is a close call. They are continuing to test the President frequently. All we can do is hope for the best. Here is a link to the full story of how this came about, from NPR:
Not to disparage the corvette stealer, but for the rest of us, it is a grave matter. Can you imagine the cougher’s vp as POTUS? Even commie’s may cringe at that thought.
ETA: Commies will not cringe they will (another c word) at that thought.
Then why did Uncle Joe, in his (and his namesake’s) infinite wisdom declare pandemic cruises safe?
ETA: THE above was a kneejerk reaction. I think that if idiots want to jump into a petri dish, they should be allowed to do so, even with their kids. I do not think the govt, even (“where am I” Joe’s govt) should be held responsible for idiots.
My apologies to those with idiot parents. … have I got all of the ambulance/offendee chasers covered?
Ahhhh, there’s the rub. Royal Caribbean tried to do that. They were as thorough as modern science allows.
Clearly that was not good enough. And that gap, that inability adequately to test, is something about which my gut would have warned me in advance. I would never have climbed aboard that ship.
“We want people to be able to gather” over the holidays, CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky said in an interview Wednesday on CNN. “And safe gathering includes, of course, being vaccinated, ideally being boosted and making sure that all the people who you gather with are also vaccinated and boosted.”
So now we’ve moved past race, and are actively encouraging division within families.
Safe gatherings require people not attend when they have symptoms of being ill… Nothing more.
Paxlovid is expected to be available at pharmacies and hospitals in the coming days. Initial supplies will be limited, until Pfizer can ramp up production.
The U.S. will have more than 250,000 courses of treatment available in January, President Biden said.
… actively and vociferously ostracizing the unvaxxed. They should have to wear an orange “U” patch on their clothing, and possibly be numbered so that the sanctified, pure, vaccinated can permanently identify the heathens.
To clarify, heathens are now defined as those not of the body of the vaxxed … per Landrieu.
Biden’s recent promise of test kit availability for every American home by January might not come true. This is from the NY Post, with credit as well to the NY Times:
Days after President Biden publicly promised to provide 500 million free at-home rapid COVID-19 tests, his administration has still not signed any contracts — leading experts to deride it as nothing but a “hope.”
The president has already been accused of being caught unprepared when he announced the vague plans for a testing spree only on Tuesday, two years into the pandemic.
Now the New York Times has revealed that contracts have yet to be signed, and are unlikely to be until next week at the earliest — with the eventual rollout of his promise potentially taking months after that.
So don’t count your chickens when it comes to free COVID testing. You can get the full scoop here:
The other concern I personally have is that, in light of the above failure, test kit manufacturers will be subjected to TREMENDOUS pressure to produce the COVID test kits and ship in time for January delivery to homes. This could easily lead to quality problems resulting in unreliable tests. The matter is not being handled well. I already can smell wasted taxpayer money.
When asked by CNN’s Anderson Cooper if people should continue to take booster shots for a vaccine that isn’t a vaccine, Dr. Fauci replied, “You know that’s a great question, but it’s just too soon to tell if a vaccine is a vaccine until it doesn’t work. So, I’m going to have to say that we need to keep jabbing and keep masking until something works. That’s science.”
