美国新冠疫情日记5/12/2020 大苹果难解封

  大苹果难解封

纽约州长柯孟宣佈本週五将对上州的三个地区局部开放，同时也将在六月二十三日举办民主党总统候选人投票。

大苹果纽约市仍然处於艰难时刻，过去七个星期以来，一万九千位纽约市民失去了宝贵生命，成千上万的市民因失业陷入生活困境，地下铁及窄小的巷子已经成為病毒的温床。

遗憾的是，当今世界政治舞台仍然一片混乱，各国政要因為寻求本身之政治利益，对於全球防疫无法达成共识，许多国际组织也无法发挥指挥力量，加上经费短缺，导至疫情还无法掌控。

上週美国白宫多位官员确诊為新冠病毒，包括副总统彭斯新闻秘书凯利在内，以致多名卫健高官都要立即隔离，连白宫都「沦陷」了。

拯救世界疫情之重责大任已经迫在眉睫，各国政要势必立即召开疫情高峰大会，摒弃己见，全力来挽救人类面临最大之危机。

           Big Apple Still Facing Big Challenge

New York Governor Andrew Cuomo said that the three Upstate New York Regions (the Mohawk Valley, the Southern Tier and the Finger Lakes regions) are set to partially reopen this Friday with limited construction, manufacturing and curbside retail.

The New York Democrats also are telling the national party that the June 23 primary will proceed. Because of public health concerns related to the coronavirus, New York’s Board of Election has cancelled the primary. But a federal judge subsequently ordered the primary to be restored to June 23 after the former Democratic presidential candidate Andrew Yang sued to block the move.

Seven weeks have passed since the coronavirus caused the Big Apple to be shut down. More than 19,000 New Yorkers have lost their lives and hundreds of thousands have lost their livelihoods. The virus is still spreading on the subways, small alleys and other public places.

Unfortunately, on the world stage we are still witnessing leaders who insist on their personal views rather than having us all working together to fight this pandemic.

In the White House, Vice President Mike Pence’s Press Secretary Katie Miller and three other officers tested positive for the coronavirus last week.

We are urging all the nations of the world to call an emergency meeting to find the fastest and most effective solutions for solving the biggest challenge facing mankind.
