美国新冠疫情日记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.

                     我们要团结起来

美国新冠疫情还在不断恶化，确诊人数及死亡者高居世界之首，号称全球第一医疗强国，面临目前之困境竟然是束手无策，令人情何以堪。

造成我们今天之不幸，首先是文化上之差异，我们要求自由，其次是联邦和州政府之政策无法贯彻，近二个月来，以德州及佛罗里达州為首之共和党政府执意开放后，全美各地也跟进，全国各地之餐厅酒吧及海滩充斥了不戴口罩之群眾，哪有不会感染的道理。

今天我们正遭受歷史上最残酷之考验，许多同胞眼看自己毕生创建之事业消失，多少亲朋好友失去了宝贵生命，此时此刻是我们要行动的时候了。

对许多公民来说，尤其是新移民社区，他们来自许多战乱国家，对政府和政治抱有不信任的态度，虽然归化為公民后，也未积极参加政治投票活动。

我们今天要改变自己的命运，首先是要去登记投票，希望社区领袖积极动员帮助大家说明选票投票是我们的权利也更是义务，同时大家一定要填写2020年人口普查这个关乎国家资源分配之重要依据。

今天我们看得非常清楚，许多政客已经在实施内政转外销的政治技巧，我们大家要充分认清这盘政治豪赌对我们可能造成之重大伤害。

请大家慎重思考国家及个人之前途，选票可以改变我们国家及个人之前途，这是我们行动的时候了。
