We Are In A Crisis

City of Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner said that COVID-19 is running rampant in the city as he announced 1,554 new cases, bringing the city’s total to well over 30,000 cases.

Turner said the numbers that are being reported are out of control and it is critical. The Mayor wants all residents to continue to practice social distancing and to wear masks.

The U.S. Department of Defense medical task force arrived in Houston yesterday and plans to establish a new wing at the United Memorial Medical Center. Patients will be transferred there from other hospitals .

President Trump put on a mask for the first time in public yesterday. His niece, Mary Trump’s new book is going on sale today. The book’s title, “Too Much Is Never Enough,” with the subtitle, “How My Family Created The World’s Most Dangerous Man.” In the White House, Trump advisor Peter Navarro accuses TikTok’s American CEO Kevin Mayer of being a “puppet” for working at the Chinese app company. After mentioning that India banned several Chinese apps, he said, “TikTok and WeChat? -- I suspect the President is just getting started with those two,” without elaborating if it meant a ban was coming.

The Presidential election is very close now. We are still facing so many challenges as a nation. For those citizens who just want to have a good job and raise their family today things are not easy. A lot of them are out of work because of the pandemic. We really need a leader to lead us out of this dark age.

May God Bless America.

疫情严峻内忧外患

由国防部派遣的军医团队昨天到达休斯敦，企图来帮忙抢救日愈恶化之疫情，昨天单日休斯敦新增病例高达一千五百四十四人，是疫情发生以来第二个最高峯记录，总数已超过三万人次，确诊比例从三月份的百分之十四奌七激增到目前的百分之二十六点八。

市长特纳已报告州长希望全市能再封城两星期，他相信这是唯一缓和疫情之方法，他更坚决反对秋天大中小学应回校上课的建议，这必须要在疫情全面管控下才能考虑。

白宫面对目前之疫情，态度在转变之中，川普总统也戴上口罩，但还是坚持全国在秋季要回校上课，总统姪女玛丽的新书今天公开上市，把这位叔叔总统描述成是家族不幸产生的世界上最危险的人，在国际舞台上，白宫经济顾问纳瓦罗继续对中国大陆作出激烈之攻击，并掦言取消在美国的抖音和微信软件，当然中美两国关係将会进入赤搏战，传染病首席专家福琪因为和总统意见相左，已有二个多月没有见面，白宫强硬派正引导美国继续退出国际组织，并在亚洲展示强大军力，此举造成世界紧张局势。

我们十分忧虑川普总统可以说是内忧外患，加上大选只剩三个多月，疫情恶化将是川普续任的致命伤。

遗憾的是，我们平民老百姓，最重要的是养家活口之一份工作已经不见了，病毒之侵蚀让我们坐卧不安，现在确诊病例已过三百万人，每三百人就有一人，这是多麽可怕的数字啊。

我们还是呼吁大家保持冷静，注意和协助需要帮助的人，相信我们一定会出现有智慧之领导人，带领走出人类黑暗的一页。
