Covid-19: Trump declares New York a major disaster area after 8.3k cases

8300例，特朗普宣布纽约为疫情重灾区

WASHINGTON: More than 70 million Americans, nearly a fifth of the nation’s population, are in lockdown as the United States wages an unprecedented battle against the Covid-19 pandemic amid a brutal unmasking of the country’s inadequacies and unpreparedness.

华盛顿：在揭露国家资源不足和准备不足之际，美国发起了一场前所未有的对抗Covid-19大流行的战斗，超过7000万美国人（近全国人口的五分之一）的活动被限制（不得出门）。

Hotels, stadiums, and parking lots are being turned into hospitals and clinics and the military and the National Guard are being deployed as the virus is threatening to overrun inadequate infrastructure in parts of the country, notably New York City, which is being described as epicenter of the outbreak.

酒店、体育场和停车场正被改造成医院和诊所，军队和国民警卫队正在部署，病毒有可能使该国部分地区本来就不足的基础设施不堪承受，尤其是被称为疫情中心的纽约市。

President Trump declared the state a major disaster area on Friday after infections doubled in 24 hours, enabling the state to access the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s $42 billion fund. It is the first time in US history a president has declared a major disaster over a public health threat.

周五，特朗普总统宣布纽约州为主要灾区，该州感染人数在24小时内增加了一倍，促使该州得以动用联邦紧急事务管理署的420亿美元资金。这是美国历史上总统首次因公共健康威胁宣布“一场重大灾难。

Lockdown is an effective way to prevent the spread of coronavirus as proven in and now in S.Korea too. While Govt and health officials can issue advisories, it is the people who can make it a success. All must follow these sensible guidelines of official authorities.

隔离是预防冠状病毒传播的一种有效方法，和韩国都证明了这一点。政府和卫生官员发布了警告，只有人民行动起来才能使之成功。所有人都必须遵循官方的指导方针。

I think the whole world's attitude for over 20 years to put all their eggs in baskets without knowing the pros and cos is going to change.So will be a big loser and India will be big gainer.

全世界20多年来把所有鸡蛋都放在篮子里而不知道利弊，我认为这种心态将会改变。因此，将是一个大输家，而印度将是大赢家。

Modiji is another fool who is giving lip service and allowing even his ministers and mp/mla to attend programs of pleasure with covid19 patients.

莫迪只是一个嘴上说得好听的傻瓜，他甚至允许内阁部长、国会议员和确诊患者一起聚会。
