Biden Tests Positive for Covid Again in 'Rebound' Case (The New York Times)

The president tested positive on Saturday morning and will once again isolate, although his symptoms have not come back, the White House physician said.

The White House Medical Unit found that 17 people had been in close contact with Mr. Biden before his initial positive test, but as of Wednesday none had tested positive. He continued to work from the White House residence during his first isolation, appearing by video before several groups, and then made a triumphal return to work in person on Wednesday. As the oldest president in the nation’s history, Mr. Biden, 79, has been eager to show that he remains fit, especially as he forecasts plans to run for a second term in 2024. “The simplest thing would be to go back on the drug for longer,” he said. He added that scientists were working to explain why some people experience a rebound of the virus. Those highly infectious and vaccine-evasive forms of the virus, he added, can cause people to test positive for longer. “I think this was predictable,” Dr. Jonathan Reiner, a prominent cardiologist and professor of medicine and surgery at George Washington University Hospital, wrote on Twitter on Saturday after the president’s positive test was disclosed. Initial clinical studies of the drug, which is made by Pfizer, suggested that only about 1 percent to 2 percent of those treated with Paxlovid experienced symptoms again. The “‘rebound’ positivity,” as Dr. O’Connor termed it, meant that Mr. Biden was forced to resume “strict isolation procedures” in keeping with medical advice. Paxlovid rebound has become a source of debate within the scientific community and among Covid patients. But doctors were watching for signs of a rebound case and made sure to keep testing him every day. “Folks, today I tested positive for COVID again,” he wrote on Twitter. “This happens with a small minority of folks.

White House physician Dr. Kevin O'Connor said in a letter that Biden “has experienced no reemergence of symptoms, and continues to feel quite well.

Both the Food and Drug Administration and Pfizer point out that 1% to 2% of people in Pfizer’s original study on Paxlovid saw their virus levels rebound after 10 days. But the president removed his mask indoors when delivering remarks on Thursday and during a meeting with CEOs on the White House complex. According to the CDC, those with rebound COVID should isolate for at least five days, ending that if a fever has resolved itself for 24 hours without medication and symptoms have improved. So we made it safe for them to be together, to be on that stage.” He tested negative for the virus on this past Tuesday and Wednesday. He was then cleared to leave isolation while wearing a mask indoors. He will isolate at the White House until he tests negative.

Biden is experiencing no new symptoms and "continues to feel quite well," Dr. Kevin O'Connor said in a memo shared by the White House.

"However, given his positive antigen test, he will reinitiate strict isolation procedures. "The President has experienced no reemergence of symptoms, and continues to feel quite well," O'Connor wrote in Saturday's memo after Biden's rebound test. The president first tested positive for Covid on July 21.

Presidente Joe Biden da positivo de nuevo en COVID-19 (Los Angeles Times)

ARCHIVO _ El presidente estadounidense Joe Biden tose al hablar sobre la inflación en la Casa Blanca el 28 de julio el 2022. (Susan Walsh / Associated Press).

Según los CDC, quienes registran un rebote de COVID deben aislarse durante al menos cinco días, terminando con el confinamiento en caso de que la fiebre se ha resuelto por sí sola durante un periodo de 24 horas sin medicación y los síntomas han disminuido. De acuerdo con las directrices de los Centros para el Control y la Prevención de las Enfermedades (CDC, por sus siglas en inglés), Biden regresará a aislamiento al menos durante cinco días y permanecerá en la Casa Blanca hasta que dé negativo en las pruebas. Su nuevo resultado positivo le coloca entre la minoría de personas tratadas con el medicamento que han experimentado un regreso del virus.

Biden experiences a Covid rebound after treatment with one course ... (Politico)

Biden's returning symptoms are an example of a rebound Covid-19 case, a phenomenon that has happened in some cases after people take Paxlovid.

Anthony Fauci, the White House chief medical adviser, received two courses of the antiviral after experiencing a similar rebound of symptoms. The agency also said that there is currently no evidence that a second round of Paxlovid is necessary for these symptoms to resolve. Biden is isolating in the White House and has canceled his immediate travel plans.

Biden abandona su renuencia a mencionar a Trump (Los Angeles Times)

El propio Biden no ha ocultado que está deseoso de volver a enfrentarse con Trump en unas elecciones, diciéndole a una televisora israelí recientemente que él “no estaría decepcionado” sobre esa posibilidad. Sus pasantes deberían dejar de escribir tuits tontos y comenzar a redactar su carta de renuncia”. “Cuando mi predecesor contrajo COVID, tuvo que ser llevado en helicóptero al Walter Reed Medical Center. Se enfermó severamente. “Donald Trump careció del valor para actuar”, añadió. El primer esfuerzo de Biden para centrar la mira en Trump se produjo el 6 de enero de 2022, cuando pronunció un discurso en el primer aniversario del ataque al Capitolio. Biden condenó a su predecesor por poner “una daga en la garganta de la democracia” al diseminar mentiras reiteradamente refutadas de que Trump no perdió en las elecciones de 2020. Hablando en teleconferencia esta semana con un grupo de funcionarios de raza negra que trabajan en la ley y el orden, Biden acusó al expresidente de alimentar “un infierno medieval” para los policías que confrontaron a los atacantes del Capitolio el 6 de enero de 2021.

Biden tests positive again for coronavirus after Paxlovid 'rebound' (The Washington Post)

President Biden tested positive for the coronavirus again Saturday, his physician said, after experiencing a Paxlovid “rebound.” The president's physician ...

Some experts theorize that the rebound infections occur because the five-day course is too short and should be lengthened by several days, to ensure that the virus has been eradicated. Biden removed his mask for some of the events. Some experts have said the guidance could cause people to return to work or leave isolation when they are potentially still infectious. BA.5 has shown a remarkable ability to escape immune protection afforded by vaccines and prior coronavirus infection. Biden will go back into isolation at the White House, O’Connor added. It was unclear whether Biden would participate in Tuesday’s event remotely.

US president had been taking Paxlovid, which has reported numerous cases of virus returning once medication is stopped.

But Biden removed his mask indoors when delivering remarks on Thursday and during a meeting with CEOs on the White House complex. The agency says most “rebound” cases remain mild and that severe disease during that period has not been reported. The president had contracted Covid and apparently recovered.

Biden wants an industrial renaissance. He can't do it without ... (Politico)

Intel's planned microchip plant outside Columbus, Ohio, is the administration's poster child for reviving high-tech manufacturing. But failure to allow a ...

While most companies are still planning to set up shop in the U.S. regardless of what happens with STEM immigration, Shahoulian said inaction on that front will inevitably limit the scale of investments by Intel and other firms. He also dinged the chip companies, claiming the issue is “not always as straightforward” as the industry would like to frame it and that tech companies sometimes hope to pay less for foreign-born talent. And the ability of this country to invest in anything for 20 years is not phenomenal.” Cornyn blamed that in part on the far right’s reflexive outrage to any easing of immigration restrictions. Students coming out of American universities with those degrees are largely foreign nationals — and increasingly, they’re graduating without an immigration status that lets them work in the U.S., and with no clear pathway to achieving that status. It’d be a relatively small number of people — a February study from Georgetown University’s Center for Security and Emerging Technology suggested the chip industry would only need around 3,500 foreign-born workers to effectively staff new U.S.-based factories. Harrison is anxious, however, over how quickly he and other leaders in higher ed are expected to convince thousands of students to sign up for the required STEM courses and join Intel after graduation. Quietly, however, many of those same lawmakers — along with industry lobbyists and national security experts — fear all the chip subsidies in the world will fall flat without enough high-skilled STEM workers. A rapid boost in processing power stuffed into ever-smaller packages led to the information technology boom of the 1990s. But even as Biden signs into law more than $52 billion in “incentives” designed to lure chipmakers to the U.S., an unusual alliance of industry lobbyists, hard-core China hawks and science advocates says the president’s dream lacks a key ingredient — a small yet critical core of high-skilled workers. In his State of the Union address in March, President Joe Biden called this 1,000-acre spread of corn stalks and farmhouses a “field of dreams.” Within three years, it will house two Intel-operated chip facilities together worth $20 billion — and Intel is promising to invest $80 billion more now that Washington has sweetened the deal with subsidies. Since the 1960s, scientists — working first for the U.S. government and later for private industry — have tacked transistors onto wafers of silicon or other semiconducting materials to produce computer circuits.

“It’s a politically troubling irony: To achieve the long-sought goal of returning high-end manufacturing to the United States, the country must, paradoxically, attract more foreign workers.” — Meanwhile: “Concern about abortion explodes among Democrats, fueling a push to vote,” by USA Today’s Susan Page, Chelsey Cox, Ella Lee and Katherine Swartz: “64% of Democrats say the court's action makes them more likely to vote in November, potentially a crucial factor in midterm elections that traditionally have low turnout.

Biden continues to test positive for coronavirus in 'rebound' case (The Washington Post)

In a new memo Sunday, the president's physician, said Biden's positive antigen test was not surprising and that the president would continue to isolate.

Biden removed his mask for some of the events last week. Biden and his doctor said he was experiencing no symptoms during the rebound infection. Biden, 79, first tested positive for the coronavirus on July 21, a Thursday, and began taking Paxlovid, an antiviral therapy that has proved highly effective in tackling coronavirus symptoms.

People “are sick and tired of politics,” he said, and want their representatives in Washington to put country over party. But in distancing himself from fellow Democrats, Manchin also tried to decry the rise of partisanship and suggested America’s path forward will need to move beyond traditional party-line politics. She joined Manchin last year in forcing cuts and changes in larger versions of the plan, and support from every Democrat in the 50-50 Senate — plus Vice President Kamala Harris’ tiebreaking vote — is needed to overcome anticipated unanimous Republican opposition in votes expected this week.
