Biden emerges from COVID isolation, tells public: Get shots
Associated PressWASHINGTON — President Joe Biden ended his COVID-19 isolation on Wednesday, telling Americans they can “live without fear” of the pandemic if they take advantage of booster shots and treatments, the protections he credited with his swift recovery. “Let’s keep emerging from one of the darkest moments in our history.” Biden drew a contrast to when President Donald Trump contracted COVID-19 and was treated at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center. “When I got COVID, I worked from upstairs in the White House.” The difference, Biden said, is the availability of vaccines, treatments and home tests for catching infections early. “I’m not keeping the same hours, but I’m meeting all my requirements that have come before me,” Biden said Monday.
