US president compares his mild bout to Donald Trump’s severe infection, saying vaccines and other treatments have made the difference

Biden’s recovery is a milestone for the pandemic response in the US, where the virus’s death toll is more than 1-millionPresident Joe Biden cast his own mild bout with Covid-19 as evidence of the strides the US has made under his watch to render the disease manageable, after his doctor gave him the green light to end his strict isolation.

The president’s physician earlier Wednesday said Biden can end his isolation after twice testing negative for Covid-19. He’s been working remotely from the White House residence. On Wednesday, he tweeted a picture of a negative Covid-19 test and said he’d return to the Oval Office. “He was severely ill; thankfully he recovered,” Biden said on Wednesday. “When I got Covid-19, I worked from upstairs at the White House — in the offices upstairs for that five-day period.”

“Given these reassuring factors, the president will discontinue his strict isolation measures,” the White House physician, Kevin O’Connor, wrote in the letter. It wasn’t immediately clear what measures he would still take, beyond wearing a mask.
