Biden Jr. a swift recovery from COVID-19, as the White House insisted at a lengthy press briefing in Washington D.C. that the commander-in-chief was doing well, so well that he was even making phone calls and continuing to work ‘hard’ on behalf of the American people despite a positive test result.
