A sudden twist in the White House! First Lady Jill Biden has tested positive for COVID-19, triggering an avalanche of questions surrounding President Joe Biden’s imminent trip to the G20 summit in India.
With uncertainty looming large over Biden’s travel, the US leader isn’t taking any chances. Despite testing negative, he’s opting to mask up indoors and during face-to-face meetings, as confirmed by Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre. Why? He was in close proximity to the First Lady recently. While Biden’s caution aligns with health guidelines, eyes are glued to his next move, especially about his G20 attendance.
But wait, there’s more! Will Biden continue his mask mandate during the summit? And what if he tests positive? Jean-Pierre left us hanging, only mentioning regular testing for the President.
On the bright side, Jill Biden is battling only mild symptoms and is quarantining at their Delaware residence. Interestingly, this isn’t her first Covid encounter; she tested positive a year ago.
Meanwhile, the timing couldn’t be more critical. As President Biden gears up for his 2024 re-election bid, whispers about his age (he’s the oldest seeking a second term) have intensified. Yet, his loyalists are unwavering, vouching for his fitness to lead the nation.
Jill’s diagnosis is a stark reminder of the relentless Covid threat. With the US witnessing a spike in cases, it’s evident that the war against the virus is far from over.
