Biden's COVID Symptoms Improve; WH Shows Him Working Phones

President Joe Biden responded well to treatment, his doctor said.
For more than a year, President Joe Biden's ability to avoid the coronavirus seemed to defy the odds. When he finally did test positive, the White House was ready. It set out to turn the diagnosis into a "teachable moment" and dispel any notion of a crisis.
"The president does what every other person in America does every day, which is he takes reasonable precautions against COVID but does his job," White House Chief of Staff Ron Klain told MSNBC late in the afternoon on Thursday.
Those efforts continued Friday, when the White House released a photo of President Biden, masked and tieless, in the Treaty Room of the president's residence, on the phone with his national security advisers. He was also scheduled to meet remotely with his economic team in a meeting focused on gas prices and then, separately, senior White House advisers to discuss legislative priorities.
