The 72-year-old wife of US President Joe Biden has tested positive for Covid-19. Despite being vaccinated and having received booster jabs, she will remain at home in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, where she had spent part of the weekend with her husband. President Biden tested negative for the virus after his wife's diagnosis and subsequently travelled to Washington DC alone on Monday night. The president himself will undergo regular testing over the coming week and monitor for any symptoms, according to a spokesperson.
In addition to dealing with his wife's positive test result, President Biden is due to attend the G20 summit in India on 4 November 2021, followed by a one-day visit to Hanoi where he will meet Vietnamese leaders. Despite Mrs Biden's positive diagnosis, his plans have not been changed, according to an administration official who spoke to CNN on Monday.
Over the summer, new variants of the Covid-19 virus emerged in the US leading to a surge in cases. However, numbers remain far below those seen during the pandemic peak. Mrs Biden last tested positive for Covid-19 in August 2022, just a few weeks after her husband had also tested positive. Both recovered without experiencing any major symptoms.
During their weekend together, the couple visited Florida to view the recovery efforts following Hurricane Idalia.

Peaceful Purpose
I have noticed that in the professional sphere, as far as I have noticed, that many people choose to come to work, mainly with the intention of collecting a paycheck, which I completely understand, unfortunately, we all need money to survive in this world. I also feel very strongly about the fact that if you are going to work in a profession, you should certainly treat that profession, whatever it may be, with the dignity that its purpose entails, whether you are working in the medical field, or working at a fast food restaurant, you should do you best to do the best job you can, because when it comes right down to it, we are all humans, going through the trials, and challenges that this life can bring us, by working together.

When We Were Very Young
In another box set that my parents got me when I was younger contained four books by A.A. Milne. 'When We Were Very Young' is a collection of poems that Milne wrote for his son Christopher Robin. This is a book that is full of references to Mr. Edward Bear, but a lot of the poems give some various descriptions of life of a very young child and where, when, how and why they do what they do. The illustrations are quite cute for you can see what Christopher Robin is and may be thinking. Also, Pooh Bear does make his self-known at various points. I have read these verses many, many times over the years and each time make me feel good about myself.
