President Joe Biden coughed into his left hand following a speech on Wednesday, before walking over to the audience and appearing to use both hands to touch and interact with people.
The President did not wash his hands, or use use hand sanitizer before he used the same hand he coughed into to touch and interact with people amidst a global Covid pandemic.

Biden performed a similar action during a speech in New Jersey in October 2021, coughing into his right hand before mingling with the crowd and using that same hand to touch other people.

During the same speech this week on Wednesday, Biden interrupted his own remarks to announce to the audience that he believed he was getting a phone call from former President Donald Trump.
“The reality is for so many people, the goalposts keep moving,” Biden said. “Unfort— that’s probably Trump calling me if he’s [unintelligible mumbling]. I hear that sound there.”
Some corporate media outlets have reported that Biden was responding to a phone ringing in the audience, though the ring tone does not appear to be audible in any of the live broadcasts of the speech.
Biden stated in June that the US government needs to raise money via taxation to “plan for the second pandemic,” appearing to go off script in predicting “another pandemic.”
“Well, we’ll get through at least this year. We do need more money,” Bide noted. “But we don’t just need more money for vaccines for children, eventually. We need more money to plan for the second pandemic.”
“There’s going to be another pandemic,” Biden continued. “We have to think ahead, and that’s not something the last outfit did very well. That’s something we’ve been doing fairly well, that’s why we need the money.”
