President Joe Biden tested positive for Covid again late Saturday morning in a "rebound" case after testing negative several days in a row, his doctor said in a letter.

"After testing negative on Tuesday evening, Wednesday morning, Thursday morning and Friday morning, the President tested positive late Saturday morning, by antigen testing. This in fact represents 'rebound' positivity," wrote White House physician Dr. Kevin O’Connor.

Biden, 79, has not experienced any re-emergence of symptoms and continues to feel well, O'Connor said. "This being the case, there is no reason to reinitiate treatment at this time, but we will obviously continue close observation."

Well, if one were a questioning type person, one might think this is a convenient way to keep biden out of the public eye for a few days. Give the poll numbers a chance to rise.

They say that rebound cases are rare with Paxlovid, but it seems that some pretty high profile people who have had it like Fauci and Biden.  I wonder if their advanced age is a factor.
