The White House released an update Saturday by Joe Biden’s personal spin Dr. Kevin O’Connor, D.O., claiming Biden’s symptoms were “less troublesome” but that he was experiencing new symptoms of body aches and a sore throat. The statement said Biden most likely has the BA5 strain which is dominant in the U.S. at present.
“His primary symptoms, though less troublesome, now include sore throat, rhinorrhea, loose cough and body aches. His voice remains deep. His pulse, blood pressure, respiratory rate and temperature remain entirely normal.”
O’Connor also said Biden was continuing to take Tylenol and use an inhaler. He did not give specifics on Biden’s temperature as he did on Friday that caused controversy over the truthfulness of updates from the White House.
.@JacquiHeinrich: "When you described — when his letter has described his 99.4 degree non-fever as being treated with Tylenol, and now we're hearing from you that he was treated for discomfort, that's an inconsistency."

The mention Friday that Biden was using an inhaler was news to reporters.
Anther reason the press wants to speak to Biden’s doctor directly – today’s letter (headline: POTUS is doing better) refers to “the albuterol inhaler” he uses as needed. It’s not listed as a current med on Biden’s most recent health summary, and wasn’t listed as a new med yday. pic.twitter.com/S2OuACofyS

As was the White House spin that Biden was given Tylenol for “discomfort” after O’Connor specially said in Friday’s statement it was given to reduce Biden’s temperature.
“Discomfort” does not appear in WH doctor letter, which mentions Tylenol in conjunction w/ POTUS temp: “He did mount a temperature yesterday evening to 99.4 °F, which responded favorably to acetaminophen (TYLENOL.).”
WH tells me ‘discomfort’ info went to press “who asked for it” https://t.co/umAxScyKbu

Biden appeared for a few minutes in a proof of health video conference on gas prices Friday that did not do much to instill confidence. At one point Biden, looking like an assisted living patient, fumbled trying to open a cough lozenge wrapper.
