Its still a serious condition: Specialist on Bidens COVID-19 – NewsNation Now

(NewsNation) An infectious disease specialist says President Joe Bidens COVID-19 diagnosis needs to be taken very seriously.

Dr. Amesh Adalja of Johns Hopkins University told NewsNation Now that despite being vaccinated and boosted, the 81-year-old Biden fits into the demographic of people that tend to be hospitalized or die from COVID-19.

It will be very important to monitor his symptoms to make sure that he doesnt have a bad bout with it, Adalja said. The fact is, though, that hes had a couple bouts with this already, its unlikely that hes going to have a severe case, but you have to be prepared for that.

Adalja also said that high-risk people should avoid crowded indoor places, especially with the new variants.

Were kind of at a new normal with it, but its still going to kill tens of thousands of people, Adalja said.
