Joe Biden’s Covid-19 symptoms continue to improve
Washington, The Gulf Observer: US President Joe Biden’s symptoms “continue to improve” after being diagnosed Thursday with Covid-19, the President’s physician said in a Saturday letter.
“His primary symptoms, though less troublesome, now include sore throat, rhinorrhea, loose cough and body aches,” Dr. Kevin O’Connor wrote. “His voice remains deep. His pulse, blood pressure, respiratory rate and temperature remain entirely normal. His oxygen saturation continues to be excellent on room air. His lungs remain clear.”
Biden completed his second full day of the Paxlovid on Friday night, and will continue to receive the antiviral drug, O’Connor said.
O’Connor wrote Biden’s “causative agent” is “most likely” the BA.5 Covid-19 variant, which he notes “is responsible for 75-80% of infections in the United States at this time.”
