     我闻 我见 我思

       英国人拔得头筹

英国政府今天开始正卯足全力希望在一个月内完成為数以千万计的英国人完全新冠疫苖的注射，以全面战胜為英国带来的疫情灾难，英国政府已经召唤已退休的医疗人员返回岗位，帮助医院及社区中心加紧注射工作。

总统当选人拜登今天再度呼吁国会及川普总统儘快通过经济紓困案，否则今年年底将有一千二百万人失去失业救济金，更多小企业因而倒闭。

在美国有歷史二百三十多年来，除了经济大萧条，这次新冠疫情是前所未有的大灾难。 根据美国食品银行的估计，目前美国人当中每八个人就有一人遭受飢饿之困境， 这是多麼令人悲哀的事情，美国不是全世界最富有的国家吗？如今还有超过百分之十的贫穷人口还在飢饿线上挣扎，得靠政府之救援，真是多大的讽刺啊。

新冠疫苗之出现，可能是唯一能拯救我们的大事，美国各地大批种苗也可以在下週开始实施，首先是医疗人员及在前线為民服务的消警人员，相信在明年二三月份至少有半数国民可以得到免费注射。

感谢上天，救星终於来了，在灾难得到充分控制之前，大家千万不可调以轻心，戴口罩、勤洗手，等距离还是最重要的防护措施。

U.K. Giant Vaccine Rollout

As it prepares to begin rolling out a coronavirus vaccine on Tuesday, Britain is taking on the biggest logistical challenge ever faced by the country’s health service. They want to vaccinate tens of millions of people against the coronavirus in a matter of months. Retired health workers are being asked to help.

President-elect Biden has asked Congress and President Trump to pass the stimulus economic package. Otherwise, more than 12 million people will lose their unemployment benefits and more small businesses will be forced to close.

Today we are facing the biggest challenge in our modern history. Because of the coronavirus pandemic, one out of eight people in the U.S. now faces hunger. And as the richest country in the world, this is very ironic for us.

Thank God we finally have a vaccine coming to rescue us. Before most of us can be vaccinated, we still will need to wear the masks, keep the social distance and wash our  hands.
