THE CHIEF WENT ON TO SAY THAT HE
WILL PROVIDE AN UPDATE ON THE
INVESTIGATION INTO BOTH
SHOOTINGS SOMETIME THIS WEEK.
TIME NOW IS 704 AND JUST DAYS
AFTER TESTING NEGATIVE FOR COVID
AND BEING CLEAR TO LEAVE THE
WHITE HOUSE PRESIDENT BIDEN HAS
TESTED POSITIVE AGAIN AND IS NOW
BACK IN ISOLATION WHEN HOUSE DR
KEVIN O’CONNOR SAYS THE
PRESIDENT IS NOT SHOWING
SYMPTOMS, HE RECEIVED NEGATIVE
TEST RESULTS SINCE TUESDAY NIGHT
BEFORE TESTING POSITIVE
YESTERDAY MORNING, THE PRESIDENT
INCREASED HIS TESTING CADENCE TO
PROTECT PEOPLE AROUND HIM. HE
HAS NOT RESTARTED TREATMENT AT
THIS TIME, BUT HE WILL BE UNDER
CLOSE OBSERVATION. HOWEVER HE
WILL FOLLOW STRICT ISOLATION
PROCEDURES. AND PRESIDENT BIDEN
WAS TREATED WITH PACKS, LIVID
AND ANTIVIRAL THERAPY, WHICH HAS
PROVEN EFFECTIVE IN TREATING
CORONAVIRUS. HE’S PART OF A
SMALL PERCENTAGE OF PATIENTS
TREATED WITH PACKS. LIVID
EXPERIENCE, REBOUND COVID.
HERE’S OUR DR FRANK MCGEORGE TO
EXPLAIN. WHAT THE PRESIDENT IS
EXPERIENCING IS SOMETHING THAT’S
BEING CALLED REBOUND AFTER
TAKING PAXIL OVID, A CERTAIN
NUMBER OF PEOPLE WITH COVID, WHO
USED PACKS LIVID WILL HAVE THEIR
VIRUS LEVELS SUPPRESSED ENOUGH
BY THE PACKS LIVID THAT THEY
WILL TEST NEGATIVE AND THEY WILL
FEEL BETTER. BUT ONCE THE PACKS
LOVE IT HAS STOPPED. THE VIRUS
BEGINS TO BUILD UP IN THEIR BODY
. AGAIN. THEY BEGIN EXCRETING
VIRUS AND THEY TEST POSITIVE
AGAIN. AS LONG AS THAT PERSON
DOESN’T HAVE ANY SYMPTOMS. IT
DOESN’T REALLY MEAN ANYTHING,
BUT BECAUSE YOU TEST POSITIVE
AGAIN, YOU NEED TO RE ISOLATE
BECAUSE AS AT THAT POINT, YOU
ARE ACTIVELY INFECTIOUS ONE MORE
TIME. AND THE WHITE HOUSE SAYS
THE PRESIDENT’S PLANNED TRIP TO
SAGINAW COUNTY ON TUESDAY HAS
BEEN CANCELED. NO WORD YET ON IF
IT WILL BE RESCHEDULED. WE ARE
JUST DAYS AWAY FROM THE AUGUST
2ND PRIMARY, AND THERE ARE
SEVERAL HEATED RACES IN
MICHIGAN’S CONGRESSIONAL
DISTRICTS, INCLUDING SOME
DISTRICTS WHO HAD SOME BIG
POLITICAL NAMES VISIT THIS PAST
