The moment she got it:

[jon-nyc]

Ha. That’s not Jenna though, it’s Rudy’s witness.

[Jolly]

When does Biden get COVID?

Just asking for a friend who wants to laugh his ass off...

[jon-nyc]

Hopefully never. My guess is he'll be vaccinated before the end of the year.

Giuliani appears to be doing very well.

I suspect no one would have expected the outcomes we have seen on the old, in bad health GOP Covid positives.

[jon-nyc]

True though I’m sure friends of Trump jump the queue for experimental and limited treatments.

Also they’re tested often enough to catch it early, which is when treatments like Regeneron shine.

Giuliani tested Positive Sunday and self reports largely asymptomatic today. Dexamethasone and Remdesivir is what they say. Nevertheless what ever it is it’s in miracle time with cheap drugs. Seems like it should be more available to others.
The key it seems as you point out to jump on it.

Last time I heard, steroids aren't experimental and I think the other drug is approved for COVID.

I am okay with that. However, I dont know if Mr. Guiliani is an official government person now, or President Trump's lawyer in a private capacity.

PA Governor Tom Wolf says he tested positive.

“During a routine test yesterday, I tested positive for COVID-19,” the governor said in a public statement. “I have no symptoms and am feeling well. I am following CDC and Department of Health guidelines.”

[Loki]

Giuliani said this afternoon symptoms are nearly gone.

It’s just remarkable how well the politicians are doing and how fast they are recovering and how many are asymptomatic . Herman Cain is the obvious exception.

Yet we all know people that we thought were in better shape and younger age who aren’t doing this well.

[Doctor Phibes]

It's good to be the king.

[George K]

Wasn't Rand Paul the first "high-profile" politician to get it?
