    Unless the symptoms are serious, why would it affect his presidency?

    "COVID could provide Biden the perfect excuse to stand down while pretending not to have capitulated to his critics" fixed it for you 😘

    Get well soon Joe! Trump supporters all want you to get the Democrat nomination.
  • Oh my, how convenient. They could have been more original and said: `Bird Flu` - seeing as it`s already been claimed that Bird Flu has now passed from birds to cows: and from cows to humans.
