President Joe Biden tested positive for Covid on Monday, but is experiencing only mild symptoms.

In the early days of the pandemic, Trump – as president – stated that injecting Covid-positive patients with disinfectant could knock out the virus.

“I want to reiterate this: the president is improving,” said Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre on Friday. “He has very mild symptoms of a virus. And we should be thrilled that the president of the United States is doing better. And again–”

“Without injecting bleach?” the reporter interrupted.

“Well, that’s the wrong administration,” she said to some light laughter. “But again, we have the tools, and that’s why we are able to give him the treatment.”
