President Joe Biden has completed his first full day of treatment with antiviral drug Paxlovid and his symptoms due to COVID-19 “have improved,” said his physician, Dr. Kevin C. O’Connor, in a letter released Friday by the White House. Biden’s symptoms remain characterized by a runny nose, fatigue and an occasional “loose” cough, and his voice is “deeper this morning,” the doctor wrote. O’Connor noted that he anticipated that Biden will respond favorably, and there has been “nothing in the course of his illness thus far which gives me cause to alter that initial expectation.”
