President Joe Biden’s bout with Covid-19 shows the evolution of the nation’s fight against the pandemic, White House officials said, expressing confidence that the 79-year-old president will avoid the worst of the disease thanks to vaccines and a therapeutic drug largely unavailable before he took office. Biden’s infection, though, shows the enduring nature of the pandemic he had promised as a presidential candidate to contain, if not defeat. And after Covid killed millions of people worldwide, most of them elderly, the president’s risk of severe illness -- while very low, according to medical experts -- isn’t zero. He is experiencing mild symptoms and has begun taking Pfizer Inc.’s Paxlovid treatment. He will isolate at the White House while continuing his duties via telephone and Zoom until he tests negative. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-07-21/biden-becomes-a-patient-and-a-white-house-symbol-in-covid-fight Subscribe to our YouTube channel: https://bit.ly/2TwO8Gm Subscribe to our newest channel Quicktake Explained: https://bit.ly/3iERrup Bloomberg Quicktake brings you live global news and original shows spanning business, technology, politics and culture.
