疫情仍然嚴重

根據最新的民意調查顯示 ，百分之八十六的美國人相信新冠疫情仍然在蔓延， 其中百分之四十認為會再惡化， 雖然拜登總統強制打疫苗 ，但是還是遭到許多阻力， 要求必須強制打針之國民只有百分之五十一， 換言之， 總統的命令並未得到貫徹， 其中自願打針的人數只略増了六個百分点。

回校上課的學生有百分之六十三贊成戴口罩， 百分之三十七反對，這已經演變成為民主和共和兩黨之政治鬥爭和不同之看法。

今天我們所面臨的是個科學驗證問題， 而非政治立場， 綜觀世界目前所面對的窘境， 大多數贫苦地區都沒有疫苖可打， 許多國家關闭機场， 關上國門，經濟活動停滯， 而我們在美國 既然有疫苗而不肯去接種，實在令人無奈。

根據最新數據。 美國全國每七個人中就有一人感染。 已經高達四千多萬人。 死亡人數也超過六十萬。 多麼可怕的數字。

兩年來的天災人禍 。已經讓許多人痛苦不堪，剛過的的埃達颱風，今明兩天又有另一颱風撲向墨西哥灣， 包括大休斯敦在內的沿海地帶又在嚴正以待， 希望九月的颱風季節早日過去。

We Are Still Fighting A Common Enemy

According to a new survey, 86% of all Americans believe the pandemic isn’t over yet. In the U.S. most people think the country hasn’t even started to recover economically from the pandemic, with 41% saying that conditions are continuing to worsen.

On the school masks requirement, 63% of people believe that the children need to have masks on when they come to school, but 31% opposed it. This has also become a strong political issue today. The pandemic is so politicalized now that people will not listen to the experts.

60% of Republicans report that they are vaccinated and a sizable number are continuing to take coronavirus precautions.

There are many people who support keeping the option open to let people work at home, and doctors should keep the option open for telemedicine.

Today we are really facing many problems in our area. Last week we faced Hurricane IDA, and now we have another tropical storm Nicholas that is approaching Texas. Some Houston area school districts have already canceled classes due to the threat of severe weather posed by the storm.

In the last two years we all have suffered in this pandemic and natural disasters. The world is really “hanging on a hinge,” and unless we can work together, we don’t see any bright future ahead for the world.
