White House Walks Back Joe Biden Claim He Is Tested Daily for Coronavirus

The White House on Friday walked back a claim made by President Joe Biden that he has been “tested daily” for the coronavirus.

“I have a test every day to see — a COVID test. They check me for all the strains,” Biden said to reporters on Friday morning.

The president said he was doing “okay” after repeatedly coughing and sounding hoarser than usual during a speech on the latest job numbers.

He said his condition was the result of a cold he had caught from his young grandson, after spending time with his family during his Thanksgiving vacation.

But the White House clarified later Friday that the president was not tested daily for the coronavirus.

White House press secretary Jen Psaki said Biden was tested on a “regular basis,” and only three times this week after he started showing symptoms.

Biden’s physician, Kevin C. O’Connor, said in a memo to reporters after the president spoke noting that the president was suffering from “increased nasal congestion.”

“This can be heard in his voice and he is feeling the colloquially well-known ‘frog in ones throat,’” he wrote.

Biden’s physician released a memo Friday afternoon noting the president was tested with a “comprehensive respiratory panel” which included “19 common respiratory pathogens” including COVID-19, other coronaviruses, influenza, and streptococcus but that it “came back negative.”

Psaki also told reporters there was not a change in Biden’s testing protocol and he would not be tested daily.

She indicated Biden would continue his scheduled day with some over-the-counter cold medication, and “probably some cough drops and some tea.”

The president intends to spend his weekend at the presidential retreat at Camp David.

I don’t give a tinkers damn about COVID.  I want to see a cognitive aptitude test.

You don't think they would be honest about the results do you?

I want to see the actual results.

“I have a test every day to see — a COVID test. They check me for all the strains,” Biden said to reporters on Friday morning.

Is he really that unaware of what's going on around him and to him on a regular basis? They stuck a Q-Tip up his nose one day, he's pretty sure of that, so in what's left of his mind, it happens every day?

He has a cold, but he's out spreadin' the germs around:

"We have now arrived at our destination - just past the Westin hotel, near 23rd Street NW. We are parked somewhat near Imperfecto restaurant," according to radio pool reporter @Tara_Mckelvey
This after @POTUS motorcade made an unannounced departure from the  @WhiteHouse and got stuck in traffic as no sirens were used by escort vehicles, according to pool reporters.
According to the @WhiteHouse, @POTUS "is dropping by a family dinner.”

I am reporting here from the press pool - in the back of a van in an alley in northwest Washington - and a White House official tells me that the president has dropped by a “family dinner.”


The presidential motorcade was stuck in traffic. No screaming sirens. I am told this is normal for weekend presidential travel in town. Still it felt kinda weird. We have now arrived at our destination - and we are parked in vans in an alley in northwest Washington.

Institutionalized liar.

Institutionalized liar.

You're correct. The problem is Traitor Joe probably believes everything he says is true.

Akshually, he said, "kissing my pe---, anyway ..."

At least, it sounded to me like that. I don't believe he was referring to the kid kissing his "Pop."

Last night, Joe snuck out to some undisclosed location for "dinner with family."

A maskless Biden, who has a nasty cold, speaks to people as he leaves a fancy D.C. restaurant last night. Despite Biden’s lecture on indoor mask wearing, the press pool reports Biden was not, in fact, wearing a mask indoors.

The president goes out: I was with the press pool, and we waited outside Imperfecto restaurant for him. My colleague @justinsink  says he saw him inside the restaurant through a window, and the president was not wearing a mask. Outside, in front of the cameras, he wore one.

More theatre. Nothing to see here.

Croaky Joe: Biden's sick voice too husky to escape notice

 "Croaky Joe", well, it has a nice ring to it.  The guy is sick both mentally and physically.

Dr. O'Connor is starting to come across as a quack.
