美國新冠疫情日記4/18/2020 守望相助 人人有責

                    守望相助 人人有責

值此疫情肆虐非常時期，世界各國實施不同形式之隔離政策，各國居民之生活方式產生巨大變化。 隨着經濟問题而產生之社會及家庭糾紛，數以億計的年輕學子因疫情要留在家中，這是史無先例之窘境。

自從疫情擴散以來，包括華裔在內的國際社區無不争先恐後伸出援手，向郡市政府捐岀大量醫療物資，出錢出力，真正表現了守望相助之精神。

最近我也走訪了社區弄堂的左隣右舍，除了贈送一些防護口罩，還留下幾句問候話，事後大家都在電話中回覆並表示非常感謝和感， 一些疏於交往的隣居也因口罩而拉近了距離。

值此國家面臨重創，許多國內外媒體以幸災樂禍之方式唱衰美國，我們更應該以不同方式，諸如向隣居友人打個慰問電話，參加一些社區義工，捐獻給食品銀行，這些義舉是人人可以做到。

德州及全國各地從下週五即將逐步開放，我們大家共同發揮自愛自律精神，守望相助，天佑美國。

         It Is Everyone’s Duty To Help Each Other

Because of the Corona Pandemic, the whole world has turned upside down. Billions of kids now have to stay at home. People are out of jobs. Family problems have now become social issues. This situation is unprecedented in modern times.

Since the disease has spread into our communities, all of the international communities, including the Chinese Americans, have donated large amounts of medical supplies to the county and city hospitals. We are a so very happy and proud people and are willing to help each other.

Recently, I walked over to my neighbor’s house and gave them some masks. All of them really appreciated what we did because this small gift made our relationship even closer.

Our nation is facing a very serious challenge right now. There are a lot of international media reporting fake news and trying to damage America. Today, we as the citizens of this great nation, I encourage you to please use your cell phone to say hello to your neighbor and your friends. Become a community volunteer and make a donation to some organization or to a food bank. Mobilize all your friends to do something for your country.

Texas and the whole country will start to partially open for business. Everybody needs to do their part to recover our economy.

May God Bless America.
