美国新冠疫情日记 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.

 总统选举决定国家命运

 新冠疫情在全世界有捲土重来之趋势，在全美各地本週之确诊人数比上週增加了百分之十。

 德州贝勒医学院哈特教授表示。我们可能会面对美国公共卫生史上最惨酷的时期，他对疫情发展表示极度之忧心。

 福其博士对於冬季来临所造成的后果也表示担忧，截止目前為止，美国已经有二十一万七千人丧生，近八百万人确诊， 一般相信，疫苗还是唯一能拯救疫情之方法。

 川普总统和民主党候选人拜登昨晚同一时间在不同地点接受选民之问答， 基本上大家最关心的还是疫情及经济问题。

 大选日期近在眉捷，两党候选人正在做最后之冲刺，我们急盼国会及白宫应早日达成紓困案之法案， 来拯救受苦受难之国民。

 美国总统不但要领导美国， 更会影响整个世界的前途。
