President Joe Biden is expected to make his first public appearance from the rose garden at the White House after testing negative for COVID-19 Wednesday morning. 

<p>&gt;&gt;&gt; GOOD MORNING. WE ARE COMING ON THE AIR BECAUSE PRESIDENT BIDEN IS ABOUT TO MAKE HIS FIRST PUBLIC IN-PERSON APPEARANCE SINCE TESTING POSITIVE FOR COVID LAST THURSDAY. HE'S GOING TO SPEAK FROM THE ROSE GARDEN JUST ABOUT AN HOUR AFTER TWEETING THIS OUT, A PICTURE OF A NEGATIVE TEST, SAYING HE WAS GOING BACK TO THE OVAL. HIS DOCTOR, KEVIN O'CONNOR, ALSO RELEASING A STATEMENT THIS MORNING, SAYING MR. BIDEN HAS TESTED NEGATIVE TWICE SINCE LAST NIGHT. HE IS FEVER-FREE. DR. O'CONNOR SAYS THE PRESIDENT WILL THEN DISCONTINUE THE ISOLATION HE'S BEEN DOING. HE'S BEEN ISOLATING FOR FIVE FULL DAYS. WHILE WE WAIT FOR PRESIDENT BIDEN TO WALK OUT TO THE ROSE GARDEN, I WANT TO GET RIGHT TO OUR CHIEF WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT, KRISTEN WELKER. AND KRISTEN, THE PRESIDENT IS EXPECTED TO FRAME THIS MOMENT AS AN ILLUSTRATION OF HOW AND WHY THE ADMINISTRATION'S PANDEMIC RESPONSE HAS BEEN WORKING. &gt;&gt; Reporter: THAT'S ABSOLUTELY RIGHT, HALLIE. PRESIDENT BIDEN IS GOING TO USE THIS AS A TEACHABLE MOMENT. THIS IS WHAT WE HAVE SEEN FROM ADMINISTRATION OFFICIALS. HE'S GOING TO TALK ABOUT THE FACT THAT HE'S VACCINATED AND TWICE BOOSTED. THAT HE TOOK THE ANTI-VIRAL, PAXLOVID, AND THAT IS PART OF THE REASON WHY HE HAD SUCH A MILD INFECTION. NOW, WE ARE EXPECTING A BIT OF STAGECRAFT AT WORK HERE, HALLIE. HE'S BEEN ISOLATING FOR FIVE STRAIGHT DAYS. HE'S GOING TO BE EMERGING FROM THE RESIDENCE, WHERE HE HAS BEEN IN ISOLATION. BEHIND ME, WHITE HOUSE OFFICIALS, WHO HAVE NOT SEEN HIM, HALLIE, FOR THOSE FIVE DAYS. SO HERE IS THE PRESIDENT WALKING OUT, SEEING THESE OFFICIALS FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE HE TESTED POSITIVE FOR COVID-19. HE'S GOING TO DECLARE THE FACT THAT HE IS NOW NEGATIVE. HIS STAFF ARE SAYING HE WILL CONTINUE TO WEAR A MASK FOR ABOUT TEN DAYS, BECAUSE, OF COURSE, IN RARE INSTANCES, THERE CAN BE A RECURRENCE OF INFECTION, FOR THOSE WHO TAKE PAXLOVID. AND HE'S GOING TO BE TESTING MORE REGULARLY. HALLIE, A LOT OF ISSUES LOOMING OVER THIS ANNOUNCEMENT. BUT TODAY, HE'S GOING TO BE FOCUSED ON COVID, HALLIE. &gt;&gt; THANK YOU. LET'S LISTEN TO PRESIDENT BIDEN. &gt;&gt; AS I WAS WALKING OUT, I THOUGHT I HEARD A RUMBLING OF MY STAFF SAYING, OH, HE'S BACK. THANKS FOR STICKING AROUND. HELLO, EVERYONE. I'VE JUST TESTED NEGATIVE FOR COVID-19 AFTER ISOLATING FOR FIVE DAYS. [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] THANKFULLY, I'LL NOW BE ABLE TO RETURN TO WORK IN PERSON. BUT I WANT TO THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR WELL WISHES, YOUR PRAYERS OVER THIS PAST WEEK AND THE CALLS I'VE GOTTEN. I ALSO WANT TO THANK THE MEDICAL TEAM HERE AT THE WHITE HOUSE FOR THE INCREDIBLE CARE THEY GAVE ME. FORTUNATELY, GOD, THANKFULLY, GOD WILLING, MY SYMPTOMS WERE MILD, MY RECOVERY WAS QUICK, AND I'M FEELING GREAT. THE ENTIRE TIME I WAS IN ISOLATION, I WAS ABLE TO WORK, TO CARRY OUT THE DUTIES OF THE OFFICE AND WITHOUT ANY INTERRUPTION. IT'S A REAL STATEMENT ON WHERE WE ARE IN THE FIGHT AGAINST COVID-19. RIGHT NOW, WE ARE FACING A NEW VARIANT, THE BA.5 VARIANT, A VERY TRANSMISSIBLE VERSION OF OMICRON VARIANT WE SAW HERE THIS PAST WINTER. IN FACT, THIS NEW VARIANT THAT INFECTED MGETTING A LOT OF PEOPLE INFECTED ALL AROUND THE WORLD, NOT JUST HERE IN THE UNITED STATES. WE SHOULD TAKE PRECAUTIONS TO TRY TO SLOW THE SPREAD OF THIS VIRUS. MY ADMINISTRATION MADE BILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN FUNDING AVAILABLE TO IMPROVE VENTILATION IN OUR SCHOOLS AND OUR PUBLIC BUILDINGS. WE MADE TESTS WIDELY AVAILABLE SO YOU CAN TAKE ONE BEFORE ATTENDING A LARGE INDOOR GATHERINGS OR VISITING WITH HIGH-RISK INDIVIDUALS. WE MADE HIGH-QUALITY MASKS AVAILABLE FOR FREE, SO YOU SHOULD CONSIDER WEARING A MASK WHEN YOU'RE IN A CROWDED INDOOR PUBLIC PLACE. THESE PRECAUTIONS ADD AN EXTRA LAYER OF PROTECTION FOR YOU AND FOR THOSE AROUND YOU. BUT THE REALITY IS THAT BA.5 MEANS MANY OF US ARE STILL GOING TO GET COVID, EVEN IF WE TAKE THE PRECAUTIONS. THAT DOESN'T MEAN WE'RE DOING ANYTHING WRONG. UNFORTUNATELY, THIS COVID IS STILL WITH US. AS IT HAS BEEN FOR TWO AND A HALF YEARS. BUT OUR FIGHT AGAINST COVID IS MAKING A HUGE DIFFERENCE. WHAT'S DIFFERENT NOW IS OUR ABILITY TO PROTECT OURSELVES FROM SERIOUS ILLNESS DUE TO COVID. IN FACT, THAT'S RADICALLY DIFFERENT TODAY THAN IT WAS JUST A YEAR AGO. COVID ISN'T GONE, BUT EVEN WITH CASES CLIMBING IN THIS COUNTRY, COVID DEATHS ARE DOWN NEARLY 90%. AND WHEN I TOOK OFFICE, THAT'S 90% DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TODAY AND WHEN I TOOK OFFICE. THAT'S WHAT'S NEW. THAT'S WHAT'S NEW IN COVID RESPONSE. DIFFERENT FROM WHERE WE WERE JUST A YEAR AGO. EVEN IF COVID -- EVEN IF YOU GET COVID, YOU CAN AVOID WINDING UP WITH A SEVERE CASE. YOU CAN NOW PREVENT MOST COVID DEATHS, AND THAT'S BECAUSE THREE FREE TOOLS THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION HAS INVESTED IN AND DISTRIBUTED THIS PAST YEAR, BOOSTER SHOTS, AT-HOME TESTS, EASY-TO-USE, EFFECTIVE TREATMENTS. WE GOT THROUGH COVID WITH NO FEAR. I GOT THROUGH IT WITH NO FEAR. A VERY MILD DISCOMFORT, BECAUSE OF THESE ESSENTIAL, LIFE-SAVING TOOLS. AND GUESS WHAT, I WANT TO REMIND EVERYBODY, THEY ARE FREE. THEY ARE CONVENIENT, AND THEY ARE SAFE. AND THEY WORK. FIRST, BOOSTER SHOTS. THEY WEREN'T AVAILABLE A YEAR AGO. THEY ARE NOW, EVERYWHERE. EVERY PERSON AGE 5 AND OVER SHOULD GET A BOOSTER SHOT. IF YOU'RE OVER 50 YEARS OLD, YOU SHOULD GET TWO BOOSTER SHOTS. I DID. AND IF YOU HAVE YOUR BOOSTERS -- UP WITH, IF YOU'RE UNDER 50, TWO, IF YOU'RE OVER 50, YOUR ODDS OF GETTING SEVERELY ILL FROM COVID ARE VERY, VERY LOW. EVEN OLDER AMERICANS ARE VERY UNLIKELY TO GET SEVERE COVID IF THEY HAVE TWO BOOSTER SHOTS. MOST COVID DEATHS ARE AMONG THOSE WHO ARE NOT UP TO DATE ON THEIR SHOTS, THEIR COVID VACCINATIONS. SO, IF YOU'RE OVER 50 AND IF YOU HAVEN'T GOTTEN A BOOSTER SHOT THIS YEAR, GO GET ONE RIGHT AWAY. GO TO COVID.GOV, TYPE IN YOUR ZIP CODE, AND FIND A PLACE WHERE YOU CAN GET A BOOSTER SHOT FOR FREE, USUALLY AT A SITE THAT'S LESS THAN FIVE MILES FROM YOUR HOME. SECOND, AT-HOME TESTS. A YEAR AGO, AT-HOME TESTS WERE RARE AND EXPENSIVE. NOW, EVERYONE IN AMERICA CAN GET THEM FOR FREE, SHIPPED TO THEIR DOOR. SHIPPED TO THEIR DOOR. THERE'S NO EXCUSE. AGAIN, GO TO COVID.GOV AND ORDER AT-HOME TESTS FOR FREE. TESTING TO FIND OUT IF YOUR SYMPTOMS MEAN YOU HAVE COVID IS CRITICAL IN GETTING TREATMENT QUICKLY. THIRD, TREATMENTS. IF YOU TEST POSITIVE, YOU HAVE A NEW POWERFUL -- WE HAVE A NEW POWERFUL TREATMENT CALLED PAXLOVID. IT WASN'T AVAILABLE A YEAR AGO. IT'S NOW -- IT'S A PILL. AND NOW YOU CAN TAKE THESE PILLS AT HOME. YOU CAN GET THEM FOR FREE AT TENS OF THOUSANDS OF LOCAL DRUGSTORES AROUND THE COUNTRY. THE FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION, THE FDA EVEN PUT IN A SPECIAL RULE SO MANY PHARMACISTS CAN PRESCRIBE THESE -- THIS PARTICULAR DRUG. SO YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE TO GO TO THE DOCTOR TO GET A PRESCRIPTION. MILLIONS OF AMERICANS HAVE USED PAXLOVID -- PAXLOVID, EXCUSE ME. I TELL YOU WHAT, I THINK IT'S -- I USED IT. PAXLOVID, INCLUDING ME. THIS LIFE-SAVING DRUG REDUCES RISK OF HOSPITALIZATION AND DEATH FROM COVID-19 BY ABOUT 0%. AGAIN, IT'S FREE, SAFE, AND EASY TO TAKE. AND WE MOVED QUICKLY TOO MAKE IT WIDELY AVAILABLE, INCLUDING THE THOUSANDS OF CONVENIENT TESTS TO TREAT SITES WHERE YOU CAN GET TESTED, AND IF YOU NEED IT, PAXLOVID IS AT THE READY, RIGHT THEN AND THERE, WHEN YOU MAKE YOUR VISIT. AGAIN, GO TO COVID.GOV TO FIND WHERE TEST AND TREAT SITES NEAR YOU. HERE'S THE BOTTOM LINE, WHEN MY PREDECESSOR GOT COVID, HE HAD TO GET HELICOPTERED TO WALTER REED MEDICAL CENTER. HE WAS SEVERELY ILL. THANKFULLY, HE RECOVERED. WHEN I GOT COVID, I WORKED FROM UPSTAIRS OF THE WHITE HOUSE, IN THE OFFICES UPSTAIRS, AND FOR THAT FIVE-DAY PERIOD. THE DIFFERENCE IS, VACCINATIONS, OF COURSE. BUT ALSO, THREE NEW TOOLS, FREE TO ALL AND WIDELY AVAILABLE. YOU DON'T NEED TO BE PRESIDENT TO GET THESE TOOLS TO USE FOR YOUR DEFENSE. IN FACT, THE SAME BOOSTER SHOTS, THE SAME AT-HOME TESTS, THE SAME TREATMENT THAT I GOT IS AVAILABLE TO YOU. MY ADMINISTRATION HAS MADE SURE THAT ALL AMERICANS, ACROSS THE COUNTRY, FROM ALL WALKS OF LIFE, HAVE FREE ACCESS TO THOSE TOOLS. COVID WAS KILLING THOUSANDS OF AMERICANS A DAY WHEN I GOT HERE. THAT ISN'T THE CASE ANYMORE. YOU CAN LIVE WITHOUT FEAR BY DOING WHAT I DID. GET BOOSTED, GET TESTED, AND GET TREATMENT. AT THE SAME TIME, MY ADMINISTRATION REMAINS VIGILANT. RIGHT NOW, WE HAVE THE TOOLS TO KEEP YOU FROM GETTING SEVERELY ILL OR DYING FROM COVID. BUT WE'RE NOT STOPPING THERE. EARLIER THIS WEEK, WE HAD A CONFERENCE AT THE WHITE HOUSE, FOR ABOUT THE NEXT GENERATION OF VACCINES, WITH THE GOAL OF KEEPING PEOPLE FROM GETTING SICK IN THE FIRST PLACE, GETTING COVID AT ALL. EVEN GETTING IT. LET ME CLOSE WITH THIS. OVER THE PAST 18 MONTHS, MY MIRPGS HAVE LEFT NO STONE UNTURNED IN THIS FIGHT AGAINST THIS PANDEMIC. NONE. WE BROUGHT DOWN DEATHS BY NEARLY 90% SINCE I TOOK OFFICE, BECAUSE OF THE HELP OF ALL THE PEOPLE IN THIS ROSE GARDEN. BUSINESSES, SCHOOLS RESPONDED, GRANDPARENTS ARE HUGGING THEIR GRANDKIDS AGAIN. WEDDINGS, BIRTHDAYS, CELEBRATIONS ARE HAPPENING IN-PERSON AGAIN. SO LET'S KEEP EMERGING FROM ONE OF THE DARKEST MOMENTS IN OUR HISTORY WITH HOPE AND LIGHT FOR WHAT CAN COME. GET VACCINATED IF YOU HAVEN'T GOTTEN ALREADY. AND NOW, GET BOOSTED. ORDER YOUR FREE TESTS. AND IF YOU GET SICK AND TEST POSITIVE, SEEK TREATMENT. TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THESE LIFE-SAVING TOOLS. WE HAVE MORE OF THESE TOOLS THAN WE EVER HAD BEFORE. AND TO MY FRIENDS IN CONGRESS, LET'S KEEP INVESTING IN THESE TOOLS. VACCINATIONS, TREATMENTS, TESTS, AND MORE SO WE CAN HELP MAKE THEM AVAILABLE TO AMERICANS, THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, ON A PERMANENT BASIS. LET'S GET MOVING -- WHEN I SAY A PERMANENT BASIS, AS LONG AS THEY ARE NEEDED. LET'S KEEP MOVING FORWARD SAFELY. GOD BLESS YOU ALL AND NOW, I GET TO GO BACK TO THE OVAL OFFICE. THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH. [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] &gt;&gt; PRESIDENT BIDEN THERE. DELIVERING REMARKS FROM THE ROSE GARDEN WITH A NOTICEABLY LESS-HOARSE VOICE THAN WE'VE SEEN HIM SO FAR, SAYING HE IS FEELING GREAT AND POINTING OUT, HE SAYS, THAT YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE PRESIDENT TO GET THE KIND OF CARE THAT HE GOT WHILE HE WAS ISOLATING AND RECOVERING WITH MILD SYMPTOMS. HE SAID, COVID IS STILL WITH US, BUT HE SAYS, THE FIGHT THAT HIS ADMINISTRATION IS CONDUCTING IS MAKING A HUGE DIFFERENCE TO PROGRESS AGAINST THIS PANDEMIC. HE ALSO DREW A NOTABLE CONTRAST WITH HIS PREDECESSOR, FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP, WHO ALSO GOT COVID AT A TIME WHEN VACCINES WERE NOT AVAILABLE. I WANT TO BRING IN NOW OUR CHIEF WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT, KRISTEN WELKER. KRISTEN, IN MANY WAYS, THIS WAS A TRIUMPHANT RETURN, AT LEAST IN THE EYES OF THE PRESIDENT'S STAFF, TO THE WEST WING TODAY. &gt;&gt; IT ABSOLUTELY WAS, HALLIE. AND YOU SAW A NUMBER OF HIS ADMINISTRATION OFFICIALS GATHERED BEHIND ME AS THE PRESIDENT WAS SPEAKING, THERE TO APPLAUD HIM, BOTH AS HE CAME OUT PROSECUTE RESIDENCE, WHERE HE'S BEEN IN ISOLATION FOR FIVE DAYS, AND THEN AGAIN WHEN HE SYMBOLICALLY WALKED INTO THE OVAL OFFICE, A STATEMENT THAT HE IS NOW GETTING BACK TO WORK. AND HE DID UNDERSCORE AND TOUT HIS ADMINISTRATION'S RESPONSE TO THIS PANDEMIC. THAT WAS, OF COURSE, CORE TO HIS CAMPAIGN. HE TALKED ABOUT THE FACT THAT WE NOW HAVE VACCINES AND BOOSTER SHOTS AND CALLED OUT AMERICANS TO GET DOUBLE BOOSTED, IF THEY ARE, IN FACT, ELIGIBLE. HE TALKED ABOUT THE FACT THAT PAXLOVID IS NOW SOMETHING THAT YOU CAN TAKE AT HOME, WHICH HE DID FOR FIVE DAYS. AND HE TALKED ABOUT THE FACT THAT WE NOW HAVE MORE RESOURCES, MASKS ARE MORE READILY AVAILABLE, AND THERE HAS BEEN MORE RESEARCH POURED INTO FIGHTING THIS VIRUS, INCLUDING AT-HOME TESTS, HALLIE, WHICH THIS ADMINISTRATION HAS DISTRIBUTED. NOW, IT IS ALSO NOTABLE THAT AT THE VERY END, HE SAID HE'D RECENTLY HAD A MEETING WHILE HE WAS IN ISOLATION ABOUT THE NEXT GENERATION OF VACCINES. AND OBVIOUSLY, THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF FOCUS ON THAT AND WHETHER THEY COULD PREVENT GETTING SICK WITH COVID ALTOGETHER. SO IF THE FOCUS IS ON THAT, I HEARD EXACTLY WHAT YOU HEARD, WHICH IS THAT SHARP CONTRAST HE DREW WITH HIS PREDECESSOR. THE FACT THAT FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP WAS TAKEN TO WALTER REED MEDICAL CENTER. HE SAID, I DIDN'T HAVE TO GO BECAUSE WE HAVE ALL OF THESE RESOURCES. BUT IT DOES COME ON THE SAME WEEK, HALLIE, WHERE PRESIDENT BIDEN TOOK AIM AT HIS PREDECESSOR OVER SOMETHING VERY DIFFERENT. JANUARY 6th, JUST A FEW DAYS AGO. OF COURSE, YOU AND I HAVE BEEN REPORTING ON, EXTENSIVELY. SO THAT WAS A NOTABLE CONTRAST THAT PRESIDENT BIDEN RAISED, AND HE NOW GOES BACK TO WORK. &gt;&gt; KRISTEN, THANK YOU. IN THE COUPLE OF SECONDS WE HAVE LEFT, I WANT TO BRING IN NBC MEDICAL CONTRIBUTOR, DR. NATALIE AZAR. DR. AZAR, IS THERE ANYTHING YOU HEARD THAT YOU MIGHT RECOMMEND DOING DIFFERENTLY IF PRESIDENT BIDEN WAS YOUR PATIENT, OR IS HE TAKING THE APPROPRIATE STEPS NOW, RECOVERING FROM COVID AND RETURNING TO THE PUBLIC STAGE. &gt;&gt; YEAH, I MEAN, HE'S CERTAINLY FOLLOWING CDC GUIDANCE HERE, HALLIE. HE IS ALLOWED TO BE OUT OF ISOLATION. HE WILL BE WEARING A WELL-FITTING MASK ANYTIME HE IS INDOORS WITH OTHER PEOPLE FOR A TOTAL DURATION OF TEN DAYS. AS DR. O'CONNOR, HIS DOCTOR, COMMENTED IN HIS NEWS BRIEF TODAY, THEY ARE GOING TO INCREASE THE CADENCE OF HIS TESTING, LOOKING OUT VERY CAREFULLY IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS, UP TO A WEEK, FOR ANY SIGNS OR SYMPTOMS AND CERTAINLY ANTIGEN TESTING THAT WOULD INDICATE ANY REBOUND. AND I WANT TO FINISH BY SAYING, WHAT REALLY RESONATED TO ME IS THAT HE WAS COUCHING COVID-19 AS A VACCINE-PREVENTABLE ILLNESS, AND REALLY, I THINK, DID A GOOD JOB OUTLINING ALL OF THE STEPS THE ADMINISTRATION HAS TAKEN TO MAKE BOOSTERS AND TESTING AND TREATMENTS AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC, SO THAT HIS TREATMENT WAS NOT JUST UNIQUE TO HIM BEING THE PRESIDENT OF THE U.S. &gt;&gt; DR. NATALIE AZAR, THANK YOU SO MUCH. PRESIDENT BIDEN, AGAIN, IN THE ROSE GARDEN THIS MORNING FOR THE FIRST TIME NOW, BACK IN PUBLIC SINCE TESTING POSITIVE FOR COVID. THAT DOES IT FOR OUR NBC NEWS SPECIAL REPORT. WE'LL HAVE MORE TONIGHT, OF COURSE, ON "NBC NIGHTLY NEWS." FOR ALL OF US HERE AT NBC, I'M HALLIE JACKSON. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR WATCHING.</p>

I'm meteorologist Elizabeth Gardner. We are looking at some unsettled weather for the next several days with the most powerful storms arriving by Thursday. We do have a level one risk for severe storms today, but our coverage looks pretty minimal. Any isolated cells that pop up could produce some wind damage. We take a look at futurecast. There are some scattered light showers out there for us this morning. That's likely to be with us up until around 10 or 11 o'clock. Notice some holes in the clouds here and there by two or three, we begin to see a few isolated cells up. Some of those could produce some damaging winds, maybe a tree or two down. But notice that that coverage is not terribly widespread, looking more likely in our northern counties than anywhere with that particular round. We have another chance for scattered storms Wednesday, Thursday and again on Friday, but the weekend is looking really nice. So level one today and tomorrow, here's a look at Wednesday's coverage. We have the potential for damaging winds and some heavy rain and then Thursday is a w weather alert day. We have the potential for some isolated tornadoes, a good chunk of the state in that level two risk for Thursday around the area this morning, we're seeing some damp conditions in spots, especially say Durham temperatures are in the upper sixties and that's where we'll stay all the way up until lunchtime. Then we'll climb into the low eighties. It's going to be a warm day today. 87 in Raleigh, 86 Durham, 89 in Fayetteville, we're going to see some sunshine peaking through, but there'll be a few scattered storms as well. The humidity plays a big part in the next several days. Weather steamy as you're heading out today. And then we're gonna take it all the way to tropical for Thursday before that front comes through and then behind the front, we drop it nicely back down to, uh, refreshing for Saturday and Sunday. So for Mother's Day, it's looking good again. Thursday is a WRL weather alert day over the weekend. Highs are back into the seventies closer to normal with, uh, some sunshine Saturday and a small chance of a storm for Mother's Day.
