美國新冠疫情日記 10/16

Our Nation’s Future Depends On Leadership
 
 Much of the United States continues to report an upward trend in coronavirus cases. Thirty-five states are showing increases in new COVID-19 cases, greater than 10% over last week when compared to the prior week.
Dr. Peter J. Hotez of Baylor College of Medicine said, “This is the time when we could be entering one of the worst periods of our epidemic and one of worst periods in modern American public health. I am very worried for the nation.”

Dr. Anthony Fauci, Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, also said that, “the issue is that as we are now entering into the cooler season of winter, you don’t want to be in that compromised position where your baseline daily infection is high and you are increasing it, as opposed to going in the other direction.”

Overall, the virus has infected almost eight million people in the U.S. and more than 217,000 people have died.

Fauci stressed that, “A vaccine is still the best way to bring an end to the pandemic,” and added that, “pursing herd immunity would be dangerous.”

 Tonight President Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden met with TV audiences in different events at separate locations.                                                                                                                      

Most of the questions asked to both candidates in the town hall meeting formats dealt with economics and coronavirus issues. The presidential election is just around the corner. The future of our nation is in our hands. We hope the leader of America will not only come to rescue us, he should also be the leader of the world too.

 Today in Washington, D.C., both parties are still fighting for their own agendas. Many people have been suffering for a long time because they either lost their job or their business. We urge the Congress and the White House to take immediate action and come to the rescue of our people.

 總統選舉決定國家命運

 新冠疫情在全世界有捲土重來之趨勢，在全美各地本週之確診人數比上週增加了百分之十。

 德州貝勒醫學院哈特教授表示。我們可能會面對美國公共衛生史上最慘酷的時期，他對疫情發展表示極度之憂心。

 福其博士對於冬季來臨所造成的後果也表示擔憂，截止目前為止，美國已經有二十一萬七千人喪生，近八百萬人確診， 一般相信，疫苗還是唯一能拯救疫情之方法。

 川普總統和民主黨候選人拜登昨晚同一時間在不同地點接受選民之問答， 基本上大家最關心的還是疫情及經濟問題。

 大選日期近在眉捷，兩黨候選人正在做最後之衝刺，我們急盼國會及白宮應早日達成紓困案之法案， 來拯救受苦受難之國民。

 美國總統不但要领導美國， 更會影響整個世界的前途。
