Americans must act together to bring down a Covid-19 surge that could hit 100,000 cases daily, expert says

Updated July 1, 2020

Surges in new Covid-19 infections have paused or rolled back reopening plans in at least 19 states as the nation's top infectious disease doctor offered a bleak warning: Americans need to take sensible measures to curb the spread or risk seeing 100,000 new cases a day.

新冠肺炎感染病例激增已导致美国至少19个州暂停或推迟了重新开放计划。美国高级别传染病医生发出严重警告:美国人需要采取明智措施遏制疫情蔓延，否则将面临每天新增10万病例的风险。

"We are now having 40,000 cases a day. I would not be surprised if we go up to 100,000 a day if this does not turn around," Director of the National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Diseases Dr. Anthony Fauci told the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP) Committee hearing.

“我们现在每天有4万病例。美国国家过敏和传染病研究所所长安东尼·福奇（Anthony Fauci）博士在参议院医疗、教育、劳工和养老金（HELP）委员会听证会上说：“如果情况没有好转，即使每天新增10万病例，我也不会感到惊讶。”

Turning it around will take a coordinated, collaborative effort, he said at the hearing, not the "disparate responses" the nation has shown so far.

他在听证会上说，扭转局面需要协调、合作，而不是美国迄今为止表现出的“截然不同的反应”。

But without strong national leadership, that coordination may be up to mayors and governors, according to Dr. William Haseltine, a former biotechnology executive and professor at Harvard's medical and public health schools.

哈佛大学医学和公共卫生学院教授、前生物技术执行官威廉·哈塞尔廷（William Haseltine）博士表示，如果没有强有力的国家领导，协调工作可能要靠市长和州长了。

Most of the US has the pandemic in their backyard, with only two states showing a downward trend in cases from last week. The surge comes as restriction-fatigued Americans increasingly gather in large groups for summer recreation.

美国大部分州都有疫情，只有两个州的病例自上周以来呈下降趋势。这一激增是由于受到限制而感到疲劳的美国人越来越多地大规模聚集，进行夏季娱乐活动。

The measures health experts tout to curb the virus are especially important considering more than 90% of the country has not experienced the virus, meaning herd immunity could still be years away, Dr. Robert Redfield, director of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), told the Senate HELP committee on Tuesday.

美国疾病预防控制中心主任罗伯特·雷德菲尔德（Robert Redfield）博士周二告诉参议院医疗、教育、劳工和养老金委员会（HELP），由于全国90%以上的人没有感染过这种病毒，卫生专家倡导的遏制病毒的措施尤其重要，群体免疫可能还需要几年时间。

Both Redfield and Fauci stressed the importance of widespread masks, which experts have encouraged for months even as President Donald Trump has noticeably forgone them.

雷德菲尔德（Redfield）和福奇（Fauci）都强调了广泛使用口罩的重要性。尽管唐纳德·特朗普（Donald Trump）总统已经明显放弃佩戴口罩，专家们数月来一直在鼓励这种做法。

An environment with universal masks is "fundamentally the most important thing we can do," Redfield said.

雷德菲尔德说，普遍佩戴口罩的环境“基本上是我们能做的最重要的事情”。
