His pulse, blood pressure, respiratory rate and oxygen saturation remain entirely normal, on room air,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Biden <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/biden-tests-positive-for-covid-19-white-house_4612708.html\">tested positive for COVID-19<\/a> hours after experiencing symptoms, primarily fatigue and a runny nose. He had just returned from Washington to Massachusetts. The White House has said it does not know where Biden contracted COVID-19, a disease caused by\u00a0the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/giving-the-right-name-to-the-virus-causing-a-worldwide-pandemic-2_3277200.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Results from an antigen test were confirmed with a\u00a0polymerase chain reaction. The latter is considered a more accurate test.<\/p>\n<p>Biden is considered at high-risk to progression to severe disease because of his advanced age. His doctors say that risk is lower because Biden has received four shots of a COVID-19 vaccine. He is isolating in the White House.<\/p>\n<h2>Treatment<\/h2>\n<p>Biden was prescribed a course of Paxlovid, a COVID-19 pill from Pfizer.<\/p>\n<p>He has since completed one full day of the treatment, which he is tolerating well, according to O\u2019Connor. Doctors plan to continue the treatment in addition to hydration, Tylenol, and an inhaler.<\/p>\n<p>Biden\u2019s typical medicines\u2014the blood thinner Eliquis and the cholesterol reducer Crestor\u2014are being withheld and will continue to be withheld until several days after he takes his list pill.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDuring this time, it is reasonable to add low dose aspirin as an alternative type of blood thinner,\u201d O\u2019Conner said.<\/p>\n<p>Nothing that has transpired so far has changed the doctor\u2019s view that Biden will \u201crespond favorably\u201d to Paxlovid, he added.<\/p>\n<p>Biden was scheduled to receive the President\u2019s Daily Brief at 10:30 a.m. on Friday. Jean-Pierre and Dr. Ashish Jha, the White House COVID-19 response coordinator, were slated to speak to the press in the afternoon.<\/p>\n<p>Biden\u2019s wife, First Lady Jill Biden, has tested negative for COVID-19, as have a number of people who were in close contact with him this week. None have yet reported testing positive besides\u00a0Sen. Tom Carper (D-Del.).<\/p>\n<p>Biden spoke with Carper overnight to see how the senator was feeling, according to the White House.<\/p>\n<div class=\"author_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"one_author_block round\">\n<div class=\"top_row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/author-zachary-stieber\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Follow<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Zachary Stieber covers U.S. and world news.
