Secretary of State Antony Blinken tested positive for COVID on Wednesday as infections following the White House Correspondents’ Dinner in Washington, D.C. continue to rise.

The nation’s top diplomat attended the black tie gala on Saturday at the Washington Hilton along with President Biden and an audience of 2,600 journalists, political heavyweights and celebrities.

“It is my great honor to be speaking tonight at the nation’s most distinguished superspreader event,” host Trevor Noah joked at the event.

Biden himself tested negative on Tuesday.

2. Trevor Noah joked about this in his speech

that it was a superspreader event and Dr. Fauci wouldn't attend.

And Biden called out the Fox News crowd because everyone in attendance was vaccinated and boosted with proof.

Several of my coworkers have COVID. We're all vaccinated and boosted. It's very easy to catch it these days. And it's easier to avoid hospitalization or death.

9. Liberals aren't immune from Covid. I'm not saying that all the people there were liberals, but there

were a lot of us there without masks. I'm a liberal, and this reminder hits home for me. It's so easy to give in to magical thinking when you're just tired of being careful.

11. No, but we're far less likely to go to the hospital or wind up in the ICU.
