In a move that amplifies the narrative of a never-ending COVID-19 crisis, the White House announced on Monday that Jill Biden has tested positive for the virus while vacationing in Delaware. Despite being double-vaccinated and twice-boosted, Mrs. Biden is experiencing “only mild symptoms.” As a result, Joe Biden has reverted to wearing a mask, even though he has tested negative for the virus and mask won’t work.
“This evening, the First Lady tested positive for COVID-19. She is currently experiencing only mild symptoms. She will remain at their home in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware,” according to Elizabeth Alexander, Jill Biden’s Communications Director.
In a follow-up statement, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre confirmed that Joe Biden tested negative for the virus on Monday evening and on Tuesday.
