Last month, Joe Biden had a skin lesion removed from his chest during his annual physical, and today the White House doctor announced that it was basal cell carcinoma. It is a very common form of skin cancer and often doesn’t require any further treatment after it is removed.
Dr. Kevin O’Connor told AP that “all cancerous tissue was successfully removed.” Therefore, the President will just have to get regular skin examinations.
Biden said he spent a lot of time in the sun when he was younger, so he has had several moles removed from his body. However, this is the first one to come back cancerous.
So if you like the sun, make sure to use sunscreen. And if you have moles, make sure to get them checked so that they can catch it early. I know I need to do better because basal cell runs in my family.
Willow the Cat is living her best life for so many reasons. First of all, she was adopted by President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden. That means she gets to live in the White House, which is currently full of several Christmas trees.
What more could any cat ask for? My kitty is hoping she will ask her furents for an orange and white sister!
Joe Biden has been able to avoid catching COVID-19 throughout his presidency. But that is no longer the case. That is because the President of the United States tested positive for coronavirus today.
Kevin C. O’Connor, D.O., FAAFP Physician to the President, wrote, “This morning, as part of our routine screening program for the President, the SARS-CoV-2 virus was detected by antigen testing. This result was subsequently confirmed via Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) testing.
On questioning, President Biden is currently experiencing mild symptoms, mostly rhinorrhea (or ‘runny nose) and fatigue, with an occasional dry cough, which started yesterday evening. Given that he meets US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) criteria for PAXLOVID, I have recommended initiating such treatment.
“The President is fully vaccinated and twice-boosted, so I anticipate that he will respond favorably, as most maximally protected patients do. Early use of PAXLOVID in this case provides additional protection against severe disease. He will isolate in accordance with Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommendations. I will keep your office updated with any changes in his condition or treatment plan.”
Thankfully, the President is only experiencing mild symptoms. Hopefully, he will be better soon and back to running the country as he has been.
Jill Biden is going to appear on an upcoming episode of Sesame Street. When the First Lady of the United States gets there, she is going to teach Gabrielle, Elmo, Tango, and all the little kids who watch an important lesson. That lesson is kindness.
She wants everyone to know what it means to be kind to people, animals, and the environment. Since FLOTUS used some big words, she, along with Gabrielle, Elmo, and Tango, demonstrated what it means. And I think the teacher did a great job explaining the word and its meaning.
So much so, I hope Melania Trump will make sure her big baby Donald watches the episode because the two of them really need to be schooled on the meaning of kindness. After all, they didn’t show any when they were in the White House.
But it is not about them. It is about the new administration and what a positive influence they are on America by being so kind to us.
Mrs. Biden was so kind to everyone on Sesame Street that Elmo wants to have a playdate with his dog Tango and her dog Commander. I can’t wait to see them frolic on the White House Lawn.
Barack Obama had some news to share today. “I just tested positive for COVID. I’ve had a scratchy throat for a couple days, but am feeling fine otherwise. Michelle and I are grateful to be vaccinated and boosted, and she has tested negative,” the former President of the United States wrote. “It’s a reminder to get vaccinated if you haven’t already, even as cases go down.”
If you are still debating about getting the shot, don’t. It really makes a difference when it comes to the severity of the virus.
I hope he is better soon and that his wife remains negative.
