As you know, President Biden has tested positive for Covid-19 and is isolated from people in the White House, not counting the WH videographer.
Today White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, along with the WH Covid response director, answered questions from reporters. Along the way KJP went out of her way to highlight Biden’s superhuman abilities:
KJP: "You guys saw him yesterday…he spoke for 20 minutes in 93 degree weather. It was incredibly hot. He was feeling fine. Where most of us were looking for water and trying not to pass out, the president was delivering remarks on a very important issue…" pic.twitter.com/5eripySRbl

Also, apparently the protocols have kept Biden from getting infected:

Well, clearly they have (cue eye roll).
Where exactly did Biden contract the virus? That apparently doesn’t matter:

All we’ve heard for over two years is “contact tracking” but that’s no longer a thing anymore?
What happened to contact tracing 🤡 https://t.co/uSRAgqAxLH

No more super spreader events when the President (D) is involved. https://t.co/NZx20TCH39

The “presidential superspreader” panic was reserved for when Trump was in office.
Nope. She doesn’t get to say that.
Surely there’s contact tracing afoot? And we will all have access to that information because transparency about the President’s health is not a laughing matter. https://t.co/UMn7UJXC3L

When Trump was president and contracted Covid contract tracing sure was of the utmost importance:
When Trump tested positive for covid, the @nytimes and @washingtonpost dedicated entire investigative pieces to tracking Trump’s every move prior to being infected.
Will they do the same with Biden? pic.twitter.com/9nLg750IMo

KJP said it doesn’t matter where Biden caught it, and that’ll be good enough for most of the media.
and now we are told "it doesn't matter"……typical
