美国退出开放天空条约

The US said on Sunday that it officially withdrew from the Open Skies Treaty. "Today marks six months since the US submitted our notice of withdrawal from the Treaty on Open Skies," National Security Adviser Robert O'Brien said in a tweet. 

美国政府11月22日宣布，即日起美国正式退出《开放天空条约》。美国国家安全顾问罗伯特•奥布莱恩发推文说："自美国通报退出《开放天空条约》决定已过去6个月。

The Trump administration submitted the notice of its decision to withdraw from the treaty in May, and the Sunday announcement marked the end of a six-month notification process.

The treaty, which became effective in 2002, allows its 34 State Parties to conduct short-notice, unarmed reconnaissance flights over the others' entire territories to collect data on military forces and activities. By 2019, over 1,500 Open Skies flights have been conducted since the deal entered into force, according to media reports.

接种疫苗后仍需戴口罩

As several coronavirus vaccines inch closer toward FDA approval, the leading infectious disease expert in the US has called on the public to double down on public health measures. 

就在好几种新冠疫苗正在等待美国食品和药物管理局的审批之时，美国顶级传染病专家安东尼•福奇博士呼吁民众坚持公共卫生措施。

Dr. Anthony Fauci, in a virtual discussion with The Hastings Center on Thursday, said the eventual vaccine is meant to protect the individual from getting sick from the coronavirus, but may not prevent that person from spreading the virus to others. 

福奇11月19日在海斯汀中心参加虚拟讨论时表示，研发疫苗的最终目的是为了保护个人不因感染新冠病毒而生病，但可能无法防止接种者向他人传播病毒。

"We have the same issue with influenza,” Fauci said, "You can get vaccinated with influenza and you won't get sick, but it won't necessarily prevent you from getting infected – although you won't know you're infected because you'll either get mild or no symptoms." The same concept applies to the eventual COVID-19 vaccine, he said.

福奇称："流感疫苗也存在这样的问题。你接种了流感疫苗后不会生病，但不一定会防止你感染流感病毒，不过由于你的症状轻微或没有症状，所以你并不知道自己被感染。" 他说，新冠疫苗的最终成品也是同理。
