Incubation periods are different for everyone, and this isn’t the first time Joe has contracted the now endemic virus that liberals need to stop panicking about. Biden is scheduled to travel to India and Vietnam on Thursday, but we’ll see if he goes, given his exposure to the pathogen. Biden has contracted COVID multiple times despite being vaccinated. He also potentially exposed Secretary of the Treasury Janet Yellen during his second bout last year, where he also reportedly flouted the CDC quarantine guidelines, viewed as the Holy Bible for the COVID panic peddlers.
Expect a slew of COVID updates this week, along with Joe throwing in his public service announcement about getting vaccinated or boosted.
