Well, I've tested positive for COVID. I've got some mild cold symptoms but am feeling fine. I'm more grateful than ever for the protection vaccines can provide against serious illness. Please get vaccinated and boosted if you haven't already!

White House press secretary Jen Psaki tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 on Tuesday (March 22), and won’t travel with President Joe Biden on his upcoming trip to Europe, she said.
Do you think Jen Psaki actually doesn’t know that her reinfection is more likely mild because she already had Covid in October? This is pretty blatant vaccine misinformation… pic.twitter.com/oWrdWqMHnO

Biden tested negative for SARS-CoV-2 after taking a PCR test on Tuesday, according to Psaki, who said she and the president had two “socially distanced meetings” on Monday (March 21).
Today, in preparation for travel to Europe, I took a PCR test this morning. That test came back positive, which means I will be adhering to CDC guidance and no longer be traveling on the President’s trip to Europe.

Psaki, who had taken a PCR test in preparation for Biden’s trip, said she currently has only mild symptoms, which she credited to having been triple-vaccinated against COVID-19.
Jen Psaki: “We don’t know” whether COVID-19 harms older people more than younger people.

Really Jen? The average age of death EXCEEDS the life expectancy, around age 79. We’ve known this for two years.
This administration is so detached from the science, it’s criminal. pic.twitter.com/TQZZyyEgMU
She also said she will be working from home in compliance with White House COVID-19 protocols.
I test regularly for COVID-19, and late this afternoon, I tested positive with a breakthrough case. I’m grateful to be asymptomatic but, per CDC guidance, I will isolate for 5 days. This is reminder that the pandemic is not over. Please get vaccinated and boosted.

Psaki previously tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 in late October. As a result, she did not travel with Biden on a week-long trip to Italy and Scotland, as she had originally planned at the time.
