Joe Biden, who had previously tested negative for COVID earlier this week, was again positive Saturday. On July 21, he was the first to test positive.
With the new positive test, his doctor, Dr. Kevin O’Connor, issued a written statement, terming it a case of “rebound positivity,” which he says happens sometimes with Paxlovid treatment.

The doctor said that Biden wasn’t feeling any “re-emergence of symptoms.”
Despite Biden’s continued bout with COVID, he has pushed for others to follow CDC guidelines, but Kamala Harris and he have strayed from that advice. Biden and Harris are not the ones who should be following rules. We’ve reported on some of that recent mask theater from Biden, but now there’s more.
Biden’s doctor had said on Wednesday that he would be wearing a “well-fitting mask” when he was around others for 10 days. That’s following the CDC guidance saying that he should wear the mask for 10 days. The doctor claimed that Biden wanted to be “conscientious” about protecting others.

Despite sitting next to Treasury Secretary JANET YELLEN, Biden wasn’t wearing a mask while he participated in a roundtable discussion on the economy. The vice president and president have failed to comply with the CDC Covid guideline despite having been asked Americans. [….]
A White House official argued that “we have ensured that there is sufficient distance between him and others to allow him to safely remove his mask.” When we noted that’s not what the CDC guidance says or what Dr. O’Connor said he’d do, the official declined to comment further.

Just in case the hypocrisy wasn’t completely clear, Politico reporters had a few things to say about the hypocrisy–including that the reporters who got near Yellen were required to test negative and they had to wear masks.
FWIW, at the Yellen’s press conference today, all reporters were required to test negative ahead of time, and we were all told to wear masks when she entered the room. https://t.co/qQ2ImoM2xr

AP reporter Seung Min Kim also reported Biden blowing off the rules, it’s not clear if she’s talking about the same or other instances of Biden flouting the mask guidance.

Alex Ward, political reporter at Politico observed that Biden had COVID just before coming down.
Biden doesn’t seem to follow doctors’ Covid-related orders.
As he hugged and shaken with Ben Gurion Airport officials in Israel, he refused to obey his doctor.
This is what it looks like. https://t.co/1sL206rYhT

“Conscientious” to Biden must translate to “I do what I want.” But, we all know that had Donald Trump done this, we would be hearing about the people that he was potentially killing with his actions.
