乔·拜登总统的医生周日表示，在上周新冠肺炎检测呈阳性后，他“继续明显好转”。
拜登的医生凯文·奥康纳在白宫发布的一封信中写道，拜登的主要症状是喉咙痛，他的流鼻涕、咳嗽和身体疼痛都“大大减少了”。
拜登完成他服用帕罗西汀的第三天星期六晚上，一个COVID治疗。
“他的脉搏、血压、呼吸频率和体温都保持正常。他的血氧饱和度在室内空气中保持良好。他的肺保持清洁，”奥康纳补充道备忘录致白宫新闻秘书郭佳欣·让-皮埃尔。
拜登三天前冠状病毒检测呈阳性。奥康纳周六在一份备忘录中写道，他可能有BA.5亚变异体，这种变异体现在占了该国大多数新冠肺炎病例，比以前的菌株对疫苗更具耐药性。
根据白宫的说法，总统似乎感染了相对较轻的病毒，他的症状一直包括流鼻涕和咳嗽。周六，他开始出现喉咙痛和身体疼痛。
在整个感染过程中，奥康纳从未说过拜登的脉搏、血压、呼吸频率或氧气超出正常范围。
据奥康纳说，除了Paxlovid，拜登一直在使用沙丁胺醇吸入剂治疗咳嗽。他已经完全注射了疫苗和双倍加强疫苗。
白宫冠状病毒协调员Ashish Jha博士周日也对总统的感染表示乐观，他说，“他昨天过得很好，感觉很好。”
杰哈在美国广播公司(ABC)的《本周》(This Week)节目中说:“这是一位总统，他接种了双重疫苗，接受了双重加强，接受了美国人普遍可以获得的治疗，目前患有轻微的呼吸道疾病。”“这真是一个好消息，这是每个人都可以获得的疫苗和治疗方法。人们出门接种疫苗，并在感染时利用这些治疗手段，这一点非常重要。”
据拜登的助手说，拜登周三晚上开始出现症状，周四最终检测呈阳性。
白宫发言人约翰·柯比周五表示，拜登的阳性测试对“国家安全决策过程”没有“影响”
17人被确认为拜登的密切接触者，尽管他们中没有一人的新冠肺炎检测呈阳性。其中包括第一夫人吉尔·拜登，她将在特拉华州至少呆到周二，副总统卡玛拉·哈里斯，她保持着正常的公共日程。
总统正在白宫官邸工作，并将继续这样做，直到他的检测结果呈阴性。
Biden's COVID-19 symptoms have 'diminished considerably,' his doctor says
President Joe Biden's doctor said Sunday that he "continue to improve significantly" after testing positive for COVID-19 last week.
Kevin O'Connor, Biden's physician, wrote in a letter released by the White House that Biden's primary symptom was a sore throat and that his runny nose, cough and body aches had all "diminished considerably."
Biden completed his third day of Paxlovid, a COVID treatment, on Saturday night.
"His pulse, blood pressure, respiratory rate and temperature all remain normal. His oxygen saturation continues to be excellent on room air. His lungs remain clear," O'Connor added in the memo to White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre.
Biden tested positive for the coronavirus three days ago. O'Connor wrote Saturday in a memo that he likely had the BA.5 subvariant, which now accounts for the majority of COVID-19 cases in the country and is more resistant to vaccines than prior strains.
The president appeared to contract a relatively minor case of the virus, according to the White House, with his symptoms consistently including a runny nose and a cough. He started experiencing a sore throat and body aches on Saturday.
O'Connor has never said Biden's pulse, blood pressure, respiratory rate or oxygen were outside normal ranges throughout his infection.
In addition to Paxlovid, Biden has been using an albuterol inhaler for a cough, according to O'Connor. He is fully vaccinated and double-boosted.
Dr. Ashish Jha, the White House's coronavirus coordinator, also expressed optimism on Sunday about the president's infection, saying, "He had a great day yesterday, was feeling well."
"This is a president who's double-vaccinated, double-boosted, getting treatments that are widely available to Americans and has at this moment a mild respiratory illness," Jha said on ABC's "This Week." "This is really good news, and this is both vaccines and treatments that are available to everyone. Really important that people go out and get vaccinated and avail themselves of these treatments if they get infected."
Biden began presenting symptoms Wednesday evening and ultimately tested positive Thursday, according to his aides.
White House spokesman John Kirby said Friday that Biden's positive test had "no impact" on "the national security decision-making process."
Seventeen people have been identified as close contacts of Biden's, though none of them tested positive for COVID-19. Among them are first lady Jill Biden, who is staying in Delaware until at least Tuesday, and Vice President Kamala Harris, who is maintaining her normal public schedule.
The president is working from the White House residence and will continue to do so until he tests negative.
