Biden tests positive for COVID-19 again in rare 'rebound' case: Monday, Aug. 1, 2022

from WCNC Charlotte To Go · host WCNC Charlotte

Days after ending his COVID-19 isolation, President Joe Biden has tested positive for the virus again, his physician said Saturday. Biden's treatment included a five-day course of Paxlovid, an antiviral drug used to treat COVID-19 that has helped prevent more severe illness. His physician said Biden is one of a small percentage of Paxlovid patients who "rebound" and test positive again. "After testing negative on Tuesday evening, Wednesday morning, Thursday morning and Friday morning, the President tested positive late Saturday morning, by antigen testing," wrote Dr. Kevin O'Connor in a letter. "This in fact represents 'rebound' positivity."READ MORE: https://www.wcnc.com/article/news/nation-world/biden-positive-covid-test-paxlovid-rebound/507-4977ebee-0147-4ab4-8caf-820728ddc680Will all school districts offer free lunch for all students? No, not all school districts will offer free lunch for all students.WHAT WE FOUNDScreen says a balanced will offmeal can make all the difference in a kid's day, which is why lunch is so important. During the height of the pandemic, federal waivers were put in place that allowed all schools to offer free meals for all students, regardless of family income status. "In March of 2020 everyone across the country got free lunch and that extended all last year," says Marshall.However, those waivers have now expired. "This year it's going back to the way it was before. We need to apply in order to receive lunch," says Marshall.READ MORE: https://www.wcnc.com/article/news/verify/school-districts-free-lunch-waivers/275-e4fbce79-cc93-40b3-9f92-d1a4d959e361Watch Wake Up Charlotte each weekday morning from 4:30 to 7 a.m. on WCNC Charlotte, and as always, join the conversation on social media using #WakeUpCLT!
