White House COVID response chief says Biden’s risk of serious illness is low

WASHINGTON – President Joe Biden’s risk of serious illness is dramatically lowered since he is double boosted and vaccinated, White House COVID-19 response chief Ashish Jha said on Thursday.

Biden, the oldest person ever to serve as president of the United States, has tested positive for COVID-19, is experiencing mild symptoms and will continue working but in isolation, the White House said earlier in the day.
