     我聞 我見 我思

       英國人拔得頭籌

英國政府今天開始正卯足全力希望在一個月內完成為數以千萬計的英國人完全新冠疫苖的注射，以全面戰勝為英國帶來的疫情災難，英國政府已經召喚已退休的醫疗人员返回崗位，幫助医院及社區中心加緊注射工作。

總統當選人拜登今天再度呼吁國會及川普總統儘快通過经濟紓困案，否則今年年底將有一千二百萬人失去失業救濟金，更多小企業因而倒閉。

在美國有歷史二百三十多年來，除了经濟大蕭條，這次新冠疫情是前所未有的大災難。 根據美國食品銀行的估計，目前美國人當中每八個人就有一人遭受飢餓之困境， 這是多麼令人悲哀的事情，美國不是全世界最富有的國家嗎？如今還有超過百分之十的貧窮人口還在飢餓線上掙扎，得靠政府之救援，真是多大的諷刺啊。

新冠疫苗之出現，可能是唯一能拯救我們的大事，美國各地大批種苗也可以在下週開始實施，首先是醫療人员及在前線為民服務的消警人員，相信在明年二三月份至少有半數國民可以得到免費注射。

感謝上天，救星終於來了，在災難得到充分控制之前，大家千萬不可調以轻心，戴口罩、勤洗手，等距離還是最重要的防護措施。

U.K. Giant Vaccine Rollout

As it prepares to begin rolling out a coronavirus vaccine on Tuesday, Britain is taking on the biggest logistical challenge ever faced by the country’s health service. They want to vaccinate tens of millions of people against the coronavirus in a matter of months. Retired health workers are being asked to help.

President-elect Biden has asked Congress and President Trump to pass the stimulus economic package. Otherwise, more than 12 million people will lose their unemployment benefits and more small businesses will be forced to close.

Today we are facing the biggest challenge in our modern history. Because of the coronavirus pandemic, one out of eight people in the U.S. now faces hunger. And as the richest country in the world, this is very ironic for us.

Thank God we finally have a vaccine coming to rescue us. Before most of us can be vaccinated, we still will need to wear the masks, keep the social distance and wash our  hands.
