President Biden tested positive for Covid this week and is isolated in the White House, but he continues to get some work done according to WH social media accounts:

Blue check Twitter often never fails to deliver, and in this case an MD/PhD shared the hottest of takes about Biden saying he’s still working while recovering from Covid:

Well, that’s certainly one way to look at it.
I don't know whether to report this for medical misinformation or racism.

Yeah, there’s a lot there to unpack.
I refuse to believe working hard is a white thing. https://t.co/bzA7AqoNHG

One could look at it the other way around, however:
It’s so easy to see how this would be played the other way: “By resting while he’s sick—something many Americans cannot afford to do—the President epitomizes white privilege.” https://t.co/65u0RKOFWl

if he took time off you would say that's privilege lol https://t.co/C0g9ggKTY0

Right?
“White supremacy urgency in the workplace” is just racist code for “I don’t want to do my job in a timely manner.” https://t.co/WqyDHIe1qy

This is never a bad prescription:
You should take time off from twitter

Take two “log off the Twitters” and call us in the morning.
Everyone should be forced to take a month off from Twitter each year. You get takes like this when people don’t touch grass regularly. https://t.co/Hug5d6Xsl6

For your own sanity and that of others it’s not a bad idea!
