I know! Though that can explain his feeling ill, at least he's getting the best medical care and has mild symptoms

That would be great, but at the moment he needs some well deserved rest to get well

And it sounds like the president has a mild case, plus he's vaccinated and was given PAXLOVID

Plus he's both vaccinated and was given PAXLOVID since it was diagnosed early.

Portable elevators are everywhere. If anyone is entitled to have one it's Joe.
