美国新冠疫情日记 11/11

White Flags Touched Our Heart

Dr. Richard Besser, former Centers For Disease Control and Prevention Acting Director said that he was optimistic the pandemic response will soon be under new federal leadership, noting that in the meantime, the states need to step up.

President-elect Joe Biden has named a new coronavirus advisory board to help with the pandemic response as he transitions into the presidency.

Besser said that the challenge will be getting through the winter with the coronavirus response still being led by the Trump administration.

Today I was watching thousands of small white flags standing sentinel outside the D.C. Armory in the southeast near RFK stadium.

Suzanne Brennan Fristenberg spent two months getting the approval to install over 220,000 white flags outside the D.C. Armory to represent the country’s COVID-19 deaths.

She said, “I know how valuable each life is, because I’ve had the opportunity and the honor to be with people at very difficult time in their lives, as they’re saying goodbye.”

How touching are her words. We don’t understand the politicians in our capital that are still fighting for their political power while they totally ignore the pandemic that is still killing our sisters and brothers. They don’t care about it.

After Biden’s Saturday victory speech, President Trump still wants to fight a legal battle. 

As ordinary citizens we only care that the virus is still attacking our community. We still don’t see that this administration has taken any measures to come and rescue us.

  白旗遍地 痛心疾首

美国前任疾管中心代主任贝西医生今天非常乐观表示，在拜登新政府上任后将会得到有效控制,但是我们目前需要各州政府协助支援。

贝西医生非常焦虑，当寒冬即将到来时，新政府上任前，仍然会在川普之控制下。

拜登总统当选人已任命十三位全国医疗顾问，立即展开对病毒之战斗， 这种以人命為先的精神，令人敬佩。

一位业餘的艺术家菲斯坦伯女士经过数月之努力，终於获准在华府近郊公园插二十三万支小白旗，代表对这次新冠疫情中丧失宝贵生命的同胞，她非常感性的说，我希望在此悲伤时刻，以小白旗表示对他们的告别。

今天看看在华府政坛上正在上演的政治大戏，川普总统仍不顾人民苦痛， 继续在球㘯上打小白球，我们真是痛心疾首，无语问苍天啊！！
