Asked how FLOTUS, who tested positive for Covid-19 earlier today, is feeling, Biden tells press she's "good-- she's doing well."
She has to quarantine, and then shell come home, Biden says-- but does not respond to a q on former president Trump's handling of classified docs.

(1,495 posts)I hope she has a mild case and she probably will, as most of the important people never seem to have a bad outcome. Yet 12,000 to 15,000 non-important people are still dying of Covid every month, including a family member of mine. Many more thousands of people are becoming disabled every month from this horrible virus.

President Biden wasn't wearing one even after having Covid...I don't get it. It's discouraging to see.

(11,470 posts)everywhere I go only me and maybe 1 or 2 others have a mask on, rest of store walking around like Covid never happened. Sometimes I start to wonder if its me but after my husband caught it on our vacation, at a time he wasn't wearing his mask, I realized its still here we still have to be careful.

(1,495 posts)indicated he was going to wear a mask for 10 days indoors and whenever he is around people. This is ridiculous. It sets a bad example. People run around maskless and then of course, they get infected and they demand Paxlovid. There are already so many people with long Covid and more becoming disabled everyday. I hope they will have income programs for people with long Covid in the near future. A lot of people can no longer work and they are struggling.

(1,495 posts)mask in the past. The room he was talking in was full of people. He coughed when he took his mask off. It just doesn't make sense. Maybe they should have had the speech outside.

(51,308 posts)After the CHIP speech, he was shaking hands, talking up close, and so on the entire time.
I assume he gets the best medical advice there is, so that must mean I don't need to wear a mask at all, right?
