'It's going to be OK': Biden, 79, tweets video message and says he is keeping busy' in isolation at White House after catching COVID: Administration assures he's still in charge...
President Joe Biden insisted he was feeling fine and hard at work on Thursday, after the White House announced he had caught COVID-19 and was isolating at his residence. 'Folks, I'm doing great,' the 79-year-old president said in a tweet. 'Thanks for your concern. 'Just called Senator Casey, Congressman Cartwright, and Mayor Cognetti (and my Scranton cousins!) to send my regrets for missing our event today. Keeping busy!'
Earlier, his doctor said the president was suffering fatigue, a dry cough and runny nose. And first lady Jill Biden, who tested negative despite being a close contact, said her husband was doing well. 'I talked to him just a few minutes ago,' she told reporters during a trip to Detroit. 'He's doing fine, he's feeling good.'
Biden had two doses of the Pfizer coronavirus vaccine shortly before taking office. He received a first booster shot in September and a second on March 30. Stringent White House precautions meant he had avoided the virus, even as it laid low close aides and advisers. Until now. 'This morning, President Biden tested positive for COVID-19. He is fully vaccinated and twice boosted and experiencing very mild symptoms,' said Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre.

Lately his gaffes are catching up to him so he's been sidelined. Maybe he has it, maybe he doesn't. Frankly the old man needs to go.
