Joe Biden and his wife have tested negative for COVID-19

After his Tuesday debate and somewhat proximate exposure to the President, former Vice-President Biden and his wife were tested this morning and the results were negative. They purposely designed the debate layout to maintain distancing between the candidates and had no handshake to minimize the chance of transmission, and apparently it worked.

After the debate ended, the candidates' wives came up on the stage, Dr. Jill Biden wore a mask, the President's wife did not.

Also testing positive for COVID-19 is RNC chairwoman Ronna McDaniel, who was with the President last Friday. Sen. Mike Lee. (R-UT) has also recently tested positive.

Well, it's probably for the best they didn't shake hands but I can't help but feel this sets a precedent for future debates.

The important test for the Bidens is now the one three days afterwards. Here's hoping that one is ALSO negative.

Absolutely!  I expect they'll be regularly tested from now on out.
