According to China News Network, US State Department spokesman Price said that US Secretary of State Blinken is infected with the new crown virus, currently showing mild symptoms, and will work from home until the end of the isolation period. Price said Blinken had been fully vaccinated. According to the White House and State Department, Blinken has not had contact with U.S. President Joe Biden for "days."
Blinken has been diagnosed with COVID-19
The harm caused by the new crown epidemic to American society is obvious to all, and with the increasing severity of the situation, the new crown epidemic has spread to the country's political circles, you know, the epidemic prevention and control in the political circles is generally still relatively strict, after all, the stability of the government is crucial for the development of a country. The fact that the new crown virus can invade the US political circles is enough to show that the epidemic situation in the country is indeed not optimistic.
At the end of last month, Pelosi, the third in command of the United States and speaker of the House of Representatives, was diagnosed with new crown pneumonia, so she cancelled all her trips for a period of time. In fact, during that period, many politicians in the US political circles announced the news of the diagnosis one after another, and for a time people were also panicked.
Unexpectedly, after Pelosi, another senior us official was diagnosed with new crown pneumonia in recent times, and he was Secretary of State Blinken. U.S. State Department spokesman Price issued a public statement saying that Blinken has completed three doses of the vaccine, and his current symptoms are relatively mild, and he is working from home and isolating treatment.
You know, Blinken tested negative in the morning, the afternoon test was positive, and as secretary of state, he will have contact with many diplomats and senior government officials, at this time, the situation of US President Biden will naturally arouse everyone's attention. Price said that in recent days, Blinken has not been in contact with President Biden, so Biden will not be a close contact.
He has attended events with Biden
However, it is worth noting that at the end of April, the White House held a large dinner party, which has not been held in the past two years due to the new crown epidemic, and this is the first time that such a large banquet has been held, with about 2600 people attending the banquet, many senior government officials, mainstream media reporters attending the banquet, and Biden and Blinken couples also attended the event.
Although all personnel were required to check the vaccination situation and nucleic acid test report before entering, people were free to choose whether to continue to wear masks after entering, so there were indeed many people on the scene who did not wear masks. By extrapolating the time of Blinken's diagnosis, this banquet is likely to be the cause of his diagnosis.
In fact, after the banquet, many participants have been found to have been diagnosed with new crown pneumonia, and now Blinken's diagnosis has made the top government and diplomats of other countries feel very nervous. Although White House spokesman Psaki said that Biden's test report was negative and that he had not been in contact with any known confirmed persons after the dinner, it was actually impossible to rule out the risk that Biden might be infected, after all, the immune escape ability of the currently spreading new coronavirus variant should not be underestimated.
Now that more and more US politicians are confirmed, this is very dangerous news, US politicians need to suspend some of their planned work after contracting the new crown virus, which is also an aspect of the impact on the stability of the government. Therefore, it is time for the US government to further strengthen its vigilance against the NEW CROWN epidemic, otherwise it will lead to irreparable and bad results.
