Joe Biden was officially diagnosed with COVID in July 21. Although he had failed his tests, he was able to test positive on Saturday.
Both his doctor, Dr. Kevin O’Connor, and Joe Biden himself said he had no reemergence of symptoms.
Folks, I was positive for COVID today again.
It happens only with a very small number of people.
I’ve got no symptoms but I am going to isolate for the safety of everyone around me.
I’m still at work, and will be back on the road soon.

Here’s the doctor’s letter from July 30.
In further letters on July 31 and August 1, the doctor didn’t mention any symptoms but mentioned he would inform people if there were any changes in his condition.

But then on Monday, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said Biden had no “reoccurring symptoms” and then in the next breath suggested he had lingering symptoms. The doctor’s letter from Monday morning never mentioned that.

That understandably had the confused reporters going, “Huh? What are they selling us now?”
She is asked by a reporter if she could explain.
Karine Jean-Pierre confirmed that Biden has “lingering signs” of COVID.

Jean-Pierre explained that Jean-Pierre meant she was referring to things and not the severe.
‘No reoccurring symptoms – meaning like, if you look at [O’Connor’s] original letter, there’s nothing. There’s nothing severe right? He feels good. He feels he feels good.’
‘But as we know, all of us have had COVID, we do have a little bit of a lingering cough, a little bit of maybe a lingering sniffle. That’s not uncommon to happen, so that’s what we are talking about,’ she said, without specifying the exact nature of the president’s ailments.
The reporter asks so what you mean is that he’s not having something like a fever return? Jean-Pierre denied that Biden had ever had a fever during his illness although he did have an elevated temperature of 99.4, according to one of the doctor’s letters.
In other words, he is having “reoccurring symptoms” although she was unclear about just exactly what they are. So why aren’t she and the doctor just saying that and why is she acting like symptoms aren’t symptoms? They can’t give us a straight answer about anything. This is one of those reasons that we should have the doctor available to be questioned because supposedly he’s the one seeing Biden, not Jean-Pierre. At least we’re not having Dr. Ashish Jha, the White House COVID coordinator telling us how Biden cleaned his plate and ate all his vegetables.
Biden had not been seen since Thursday evening, until tonight when he commented on al-Qaeda’s leader Ayman al Zawahiri. According to the doctor, he will continue to live in seclusion at his residence.
Joe Biden was last seen out in public on Thursday.

Transparency is a joke at the White House. Clearly.
