美國新冠疫情日記07/13

This Is The Time To Be United

We are the country that is suffering more than twenty-five percent of the world’s coronavirus confirmed cases. It is very ironic when we are the strongest medical nation in the world.

There are many reasons, including cultural differences from east and west. We all want freedom and liberty and don’t want to listen to authority especially when the federal and local governments don’t work together. In the last two months, Texas and Florida opened back up too soon. Then people flocked to restaurants, bars and beaches without wearing masks. For sure, the virus will spread again.

We feel very regretful and sorry for those people who have had to give up their businesses. Many of them have also lost their loved ones.

A lot of people in our community are new immigrants who have just been naturalized as citizens. Together we all need to go to vote and fill out the 2020 census because this is very important for the national distribution of resources.

We are witnessing that the politicians are using the many issues today to gain their own political ambitions. This is the time we need to be united and act.

                     我們要团結起來

美國新冠疫情還在不斷惡化，确诊人數及死亡者高居世界之首，號稱全球第一醫療强國，面臨目前之困境竟然是束手无策，令人情何以堪。

造成我們今天之不幸，首先是文化上之差異，我們要求自由，其次是聯邦和州政府之政策無法贯彻，近二個月來，以德州及佛羅里達州為首之共和党政府執意開放後，全美各地也跟進，全國各地之餐廳酒吧及海灘充斥了不戴口罩之群眾，哪有不會感染的道理。

今天我們正遭受歷史上最殘酷之考驗，許多同胞眼看自己毕生創建之事業消失，多少親朋好友失去了寶貴生命，此時此刻是我們要行動的時候了。

對許多公民來說，尤其是新移民社區，他們來自許多戰亂國家，對政府和政治抱有不信任的態度，雖然歸化為公民後，也未積極參加政治投票活動。

我們今天要改變自己的命運，首先是要去登記投票，希望社區領袖積極動員幫助大家說明選票投票是我們的權利也更是義務，同時大家一定要填寫2020年人口普查這個关乎國家資源分配之重要依據。

今天我們看得非常清楚，許多政客已經在实施內政轉外銷的政治技巧，我們大家要充分認清這盤政治豪賭對我們可能造成之重大傷害。

請大家慎重思考國家及個人之前途，選票可以改變我們國家及個人之前途，這是我們行動的時候了。
