I really am concerned about that nagging cough that Joe has on the stump,

[Boogiemack]

Good he went to GA but I think he needs some rest now. He should rest until Jan 20. or at least until just before the runoff voting date. I think we have this. Joe can continues to do virtual messaging for a while. Kamala can hit the stumps if necessary but she should get some rest also.

[CatMor]

1. When I watched him yesterday it seemed more a clearing of the throat ..

than a cough. I didn't see him today so has it turned to a cough?

[Enterstageleft]

2. I appreciate your concern...

but the rePugs would pounce on that as " Biden is weak", we can't have that.

We need to stand strong until we have to cry "uncle"...not before.

[regnaD kciN]

18. Frankly, Republican messaging is the LAST of our concerns now that the EV have been cast...

It's not like the electors are going to go back and change their votes to Trump because they're concerned Biden might be sick.

[pennylane100]

3. He could have allergies.

Let us hope he lives long and prosper. I hope so.

[aeromanKC]

4. At least wear a hat

Something William Henry Harrison refused to do.

[cayugafalls]

5. Meh, I have allergies and that is how I clear my throat.

Sucks, but that is life...

[Thekaspervote]

6. He said he has a bit of a cold

[LAS14]

15. How can he have a cold if he's been wearing a mask and using hand hygiene?

We certainly haven't had a cold since last January.

[LisaL]

17. As we all know full well, masks are not 100% effective.

That's how he can have a cold. I am sure he has been tested for covid.

[Bobstandard]

7. I too am concerned

Any cough by anyone scares me these days. In Biden’s case he’s been busting ass for many months. His immune system has to be under stress. I’m thinking he could use the rest. I hope he gets a chance to take some

[soothsayer]

26. Dry cough is scary. That frog in the throat was not dry in the least

[helpisontheway]

8. Today it seemed more like a cough. Last night he was clearing his throat. Nt

[KentuckyWoman]

9. He won't rest. He WON'T

He's the kind that takes some advil and goes to work with a kidney stone. I am the same type so I know it when I see it.

He is about a year younger than me, which I consider the same age. I could not ever in any possibility keep up with him, and I'm pretty energetic. Yes, he slowed down just a tinch since leaving office, but not enough to matter. I would expect the love of a good woman, her good cooking, and a hardcore belief in what is right helps him keep it going.

[AmericanCanuck]

10. He has good medical care and he follows the advice

His doctors are not sycophantic buffoons -- I trust them to take good care of PE Joe.

[regnaD kciN]

19. I'm also assuming he's getting tested on a regular basis...

[onecaliberal]

11. He was outside, raising his voice in dry cold air.

He was clearing his throat.

[onecaliberal]

21. He can do more things online, but he can't stop meeting and planning because we are

In the middle of a conflagration that is growing worse by the day. It’s important for the transition to progress.

[Sogo]

12. Dr. Fauci said today that Joe should get the vaccine asap.

I hope Joe gets that message; I'm sure he'll follow it....

[Hoyt]

13. It's winter, people cough, wheeze, etc. I'm sure he's fine and being monitored

by physicians.

[bamagal62]

14. He said he has a cold.

I just turned up the humidifier in our air com system because we were all sniffing and clearing our throats. The air has become really dry here.

[crimycarny]

20. He gets tested all the time

People can still get colds and it not be COVID. COVID is more of an airborne coronavirus, the common cold is a coronavirus as well but more easily spread by surfaces, sharing food, etc.

But I agree, I would like to see him fit in some rest regardless. And I bet he will be one of the first to get the vaccine, as he should be for National Security.

[Retrograde]

22. I have one myself right now

It seems to be a form of asthma - I'm OK as long as I don't talk, which is hard for a politician. I think Biden has pretty good medical care.

[MFM008]

23. Joe has access

to the best doctors.
They wouldn't let him out, no sorry
JILL wouldn't let him out if he was in danger.

[Walleye]

24. clearing my throat for a couple of weeks now, crappy sinus weather. in Delaware we call it the crud

I bet Jill is taking good care of him, I hope so

[JI7]

25. He didn't seem to have any trouble breathing and didn't appear tired in any way

so I think he is fine but because of his position I do hope he gets vaccinated as soon as possible .

[Vinca]

27. He's probably on blood pressure medication like so many of the rest of us older people.

I've had an off an on little cough like that for years from the stuff. I'm sure Joe's fine.
