US President Biden tests negative after second bout of Covid-19

Biden’s physician Kevin O’Connor said his antigen test this morning was negative.

US PRESIDENT JOE Biden on Saturday tested negative for Covid-19, days after coming down with a second bout of the illness.

“The President continues to feel very well,” Biden’s physician Kevin O’Connor said in a statement. “This morning, his SARS-CoV-2 antigen testing was negative.”

Biden, who at 79 is the oldest person to hold the US presidency, has been in quarantine for the past week, after testing positive for the virus following an initial recovery in what is known as a “rebound” case.

O’Connor said Biden will continue to isolate pending a second negative test “in an abundance of caution.”

According to Biden’s official schedule he is set to travel to the southern state of Kentucky, the scene of devastating floods, on Monday.

    They should simply cancel all traffic offences where no injury occurred and all TV licence charges.

    That would reduce some of the load.

    @brendan fitzsimons: Hey Bren, one might think that you have a few penalty points on the way, or the lad with the TV license check, is hanging around your area! Wink,wink,

    Public has to have acess to the hearings.

    Justice must be done but must be seen to be done.

    Can’t have public justice done in private for obvious reasons.

    I’m sure this will fail in an accused states it’s obvious flaws.

    At moment done with accused consent
