omicron and the good news on the so-called winter surge that may be ebbing in some areas. some are asking where the line is when the goalpost keeps moving. so many people feel two years to the day when covid first formally hit the u.s. there is now a report from the center for disease control that they have the first u.s. case of that coronavirus. now to growing concerns about the deadly coronavirus officially hitting the u.s. this is patient one, the first known covid case in the country. patient one-two years ago today. we now know the grim toll. the numbers can not capture the humanity of 860,000 americans dead. health experts say omicron could hit half of our population. if you assume that we re only diagnosing one in five cases, probably upwards of 23%, 25% of americans have been infected and that many may be infected on the back end. we may get 40%, 50% of americans infected with this by mid-february. about 9 million workers called out sick from covid in a t
public square. welcome to all of you in the united states and around the world. i am fareed zakaria. today, a special program from aspen, colorado. first, i sit down with the secretary of state antony blinken. i ask him about america s standing in the world and its biggest challenges abroad. rush. in terms of what russia sought to achieve, they ve already failed and they ve already lost. and china. then an exclusive interview with ukraine s president volodymyr zelenskyy. we talk about the counteroffensive. is it as slow going as it seems? and why? and what does kyiv need from the west to speed it up? but first, here s my take. when i speak to people about right-wing populism these days i notice that many tend to believe that it s old news. populist leaders capture the world s attention in 2016 with the brexit referendum and later that deal with donald trump s election victory. now seven years later, many seem to feel its past its prime. trump was defeated in 2020 and wa
secretary of state antony blinken is in china today for a high-stakes visit, holding talk with the country s top diplomas as well as chinese president xi jinping what the two sides are saying about the critical meetings. at least eight people dead in a spring of mass shootings over just two days. new information on the victims and the suspects. and people in mississippi cleaning up after storms slammed the state. take a look, this brand-new drone video this morning showing a path of destruction and the threat is not over, tens of millions of americans at risk of severe weather today. we are following these major developing stories and many more all coming in right here to cnn news central. after high stakes talks in beijing where do tensions between two global super powers go from here. u.s. blinken calls his conversations candid and constructive. i came to beijing to strengthen high level challenging communication, to make clear our positions and intentions in ar
up for discussion as well. but that same official played down the idea that a broad range of deliverables would come from this trip. the two days that secretary blinken is spending in high stakes talks marks the highest level american to visit china since president biden took office. keep in mind, the visit was already delayed once. that was after the chinese spy craft was detected roaming over the u.s. president biden this weekend called that air space intrusion silly. i don t think the leadership knew where it was and knew what was in it and knew what was going on. i think it was more embarrassing than it was intentioned. so i m hoping that over the next several months i ll be meeting with xi again and talking about legitimate differences we have but also how those areas we can get along. reporter: the taiwan strait is likely not one of those areas at present. the white house recently acknowledged that china secured a spy base in cuba, back in 2019. president biden has
