Former President Barack Obama Tested Positive For COVID-19

The former President announced his status Sunday, writing I just tested positive for COVID. I’ve had a scratchy throat for a couple days, but am feeling fine otherwise. Michelle and I are grateful to be vaccinated and boosted, and she has tested negative. He adds, "It’s a reminder to get vaccinated if you haven’t already, even as cases go down. Obama is the second living president to have tested positive for the virus of course, Donald Trump caught it in 2020 (right in the thick of the pandemic) and seemed to be quite ill for a bit as he had to take a pause on campaigning to get treatment and quarantine While it's pretty shocking to hear Barack is positive, it's not all that surprising or worrisome especially at this point in the pandemic when lots of people (including politicians) have also caught it, only to come back at 100% shortly thereafter.
