美国1000万+了，拜登：恳求你们戴上口罩吧，这不

拜登：恳求你们戴上口罩吧，这不是“政治声明”！

当地时间11月9日，拜登在特拉华州发表演讲，呼吁民众戴上口罩，并称这是对抗新冠疫情的“最有力武器”而不是一个政治声明。

我们知道预防新冠病毒传播最有效的方式就是戴口罩。在疫苗被生产之前，戴口罩仍是对抗新冠疫情“最有力的武器”。

Biden stressed, "We know the single most effective thing wecan do to stop the spread of COVID is wear amask." … until a vaccine is in production, "A maskremains the most potent weapon against the virus."

他还表示，“我要到1月20日才能任职总统。但我今天要向所有人传达的是：无论你把票投给了谁，不论你选举之前立场如何，你的党派、观点这些都不重要。如果未来几个月大家戴口罩，我们就可以挽救成千上万人的生命。不是民主党或共和党人的命，而是美国人的命。”

"I won't be president until Jan. 20 but message today toeveryone is this - it doesn't matter who you voted for, where youstood before Election Day. It doesn't matter your party, your pointof view.

"We can save tens of thousands of lives if everyone would justwear a mask for the next few months. Not Democrat or Republicanlives, American lives," Biden highlighted.

最后，拜登呼吁美国民众，“我恳求你们戴上口罩。为了你自己，也为了你的邻居。戴口罩不是一个政治声明，它能让国家团结起来。”

"I implore you, wear a mask. Do it for yourself. Do it foryour neighbor. A mask is not a political statement, but it is agood way to start pulling country together," thepresident-elect added.

超1000万！

美国平均每33人就有1人确诊新冠

根据美国约翰斯·霍普金斯大学数据，截至美东时间9日晚6时，美国累计新冠肺炎确诊病例超过1000万例，死亡超23万例。

据《华盛顿邮报》报道，当地时间周一，美国新冠肺炎累计确诊病例超过1000万，从900万到1000万仅用了10天时间。连续5日，美国平均单日新增确诊超过10万例，公共卫生专家警告说，美国正进入新冠疫情暴发以来“最严重的阶段”。

The United States surpassed 10 million coronavirus casesMonday, just 10 days after hitting 9 million. For the fifthconsecutive day, the country has reported more than 100,000infections, and public health experts warn that the country isentering the pandemic’s worst phase.

美国新冠确诊超1000万例，这也意味着在美国，平均每33个人里就有1人确诊。全球确诊病例中，有20%来自美国，而美国人口只占世界人口的约4%。

据《纽约时报》报道，目前该病毒在美国一半以上的地区以令人担忧的水平激增。自9月中旬以来，全美的住院人数几乎增加了一倍，死亡人数又在缓慢增加，但几乎没有新的干预措施来阻止不断加剧的疫情。

...the virus is surging at a worrisome level in more than halfthe country. Nationwide, hospitalizations have nearly doubled sincemid-September, and deaths are slowly increasing again, with few newinterventions in place to stop the spiraling outbreak.

美专家：“我们正在陷入新冠地狱”

如今，美国正在进入冬季，感恩节、圣诞节等重要节日，加之近日遍及美国各州关于选举的集会游行，使得不少专家担忧，美国将面临日益严峻的新冠肺炎疫情。

疾病控制和预防中心前主任托马斯·弗里登对美国国家公共电台表示：“疫情已经进入了指数阶段，这意味着它会变得更糟。”“这是一个可怕的阶段。各种因素的融合带来了很大的问题，这是一个非常危险的时期。”

"It's entered the exponential phase, and that means it's goingto get worse……"

"This is a terrible time. The confluence of factors here isextremely problematic," says Frieden. "This is a verydangerous time."

“这本不应该发生。”哥伦比亚大学传染病专家杰弗里·沙曼感慨。

"This didn't have to happen," says Jeffrey Shaman,an infectious disease expert at Columbia University.

当地时间9日，美国消费者新闻与商业频道（CNBC）援引明尼苏达大学传染病研究与政策中心主任奥斯特霍姆的话称，“美国必须明白，我们正在陷入新冠地狱。这种情况正在发生。”

"What America has to understand is that we are about to enterCovid hell," Dr. Michael Osterholm, director of the Center ofInfectious Disease Research and Policy at the University ofMinnesota, told CNBC's "Squawk Alley." "It is happening."

奥斯特霍姆指出，“我们还没有达到峰值，即使这样，医院已经面临超负荷运行。未来3-4个月，将是疫情最黑暗的时刻。”

We have not even come close to the peak and, as such, ourhospitals are now being overrun,” Osterholm said. “The next threeto four months are going to be, by far, the darkest of thepandemic.”

"Hospitalizations and ICUs are nearing capacity…"，thegovernor's office said in a statement.

"We must take action now to protect our hospitals andhealthcare workers and to avoid further devastation on ourfamilies, communities, and businesses."

哈佛医学院教授罗谢尔·瓦伦斯基呼吁，“我们绝对需要更多的检测，病例上升的速度高于检测率增加的速度。”

"We absolutely need more testing. Cases are rising faster thantesting rates are rising," said Dr. Rochelle Walensky, aprofessor of medicine at Harvard Medical School.

纽约州州长安德鲁·科莫在美国广播公司的一档节目中称，“我认为否认新冠疫情的政治压力已经消失。我想你们会看到科学家可以毫不掩饰地畅所欲言了。”

"I think the political pressure of denying Covid is gone," hesaid Sunday on the ABC program "This Week." "I think you’ll seescientists speak with an unmuzzled voice now."
