Joe Biden Friday afternoon answered a few questions from the South Lawn of the White House before he left for Camp David for the weekend.
A reporter asked Biden if Americans should expect more Covid restrictions.
“In all probability,” Biden said as he rattled off the number of people who received the Covid vaccine this week.

White House Deputy Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre on Friday said a federal vaccine mandate is not currently under consideration.
On Thursday Biden said he’s exploring a federal vaccine mandate.
However, Jean-Pierre was deployed to do damage control during Friday’s press briefing.
“A national vaccine requirement is not under consideration at this time,” Jean-Pierre said.
