As US Covid-19 cases hit 1M, many Americans opt to stay on in India

美国新冠确诊病例达100万例，很多美国人选择留在印度

NEW YORK: Many Americans in India who had signed up for airlifts back to the US are now deciding to stay back and "ride it out" during the Covid-19 pandemic, according to the State Department's top consular official.

新德里：美国国务院高层领事官员表示，很多在印度的美国人曾报名搭乘包机返回美国，但现在他们决定留在印度“度过”这场大流行。

Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Ian Brownlee said on Tuesday that many who had enlisted for repatriation from India were not responding to offers of seats on the planes arranged by the department to take them home.

美国国务院首席副助理国务卿伊恩·布朗利周二表示，很多报名从印度搭乘包机回国的人没有对国务院的航班座次安排做出回应。

The number of recorded Covid-19 cases in the US reached 1 million on Tuesday, with 58,348 deaths, while India had only 31,368 officially recorded cases with 1,008 fatalities, according to the Johns Hopkins University tracker.

据约翰霍普金斯大学的跟踪调查，周二，美国的新冠确诊病例达到100万，死亡58348例，而印度确诊仅31368例，死亡1008例。

Brownlee said: "Two weeks ago, we had a list of folks and we were pretty sure if we called (the) folks they'd show up at the airport and say, 'Yes, please.' We're now getting to the point on that list, we're having to make multiple calls for individual seats because people are deciding 'No,' they'd just as soon ride it out where they are."

布朗利说:“两周前，我们整理了一份名单，当时我们很确定，如果我们打电话给他们，他们会准时到机场登机。我们现在不得不反复打电话确认，因为很多人都决定暂不回国了，他们宁愿留在原地。”

Last week he said that 4,000 Americans had been brought back to the US and 6,000 were waiting for airlifts.

上周他表示，已将4000名美国人接回国内，还有6000人正在等待包机。

India has cancelled passenger flights and rail transportation during the strict lockdown imposed on March 25.

3月25日开始实施严格封锁以来，印度停止了客运航班和铁路运输。

Brownlee had spoken earlier of the massive logistics effort required to bring Americans from around the vast country to Mumbai and New Delhi, the departure points for the chartered flights.

布朗利早些时候谈到，在这个幅员辽阔的国家，要把在那的美国人集中到孟买和新德里，需要做大量的后勤工作。孟买和新德里是包机的起点站。

In the opinions of some, India is the safest country in the world today. Look at India’s population of approxmately 1.3 billion people and its crowded cities with poor hygiene conditions. Then see its performance in the control of CORONAVIRUS. Some divine power is hel India.

在一些人看来，目前印度是世界上最安全的国家。印度约有13亿人口，城市拥挤不堪，卫生条件很差。但是印度在控制疫情方面的表现可圈可点，印度如有神助啊。

India under Modi fared much much better considering our poor health infrastructure vs USA under Trump which fared the worst despite having the most cutting edge technology in health infrastructure... INDIA IS RISING while USA is slowly but surely is past it's prime...

虽然印度的医疗设施比美国差，但在控制疫情方面，莫迪领导下的印度比特朗普领导下的美国做得更好。印度正在崛起，而美国正在衰落。

Harsh Aggarwal

India is the safest country today in the whole world thanks to timely enforcement of lockdown by the govt. now the govt should not show haste in opening it up and risk loosing the advantage it has created by this lockdown. Economic activity will pick up again whenever the lockdown stops but human life always takes precedence over economy.

多亏了印度政府及时实施封锁，印度现在是全世界最安全的国家。现在政府不应该急于解封，风险太大。解封后，经济活动自然会恢复正常，人命总比经济更重要。

India can declare some areas as corona free and woo foreigners to settle down if they bring in 10 million dollars as investment and give employment to at least 50 people.

They all understood well, India is the safest place to live in, as of now. See the infection rates crossing 1 million in U.S and death over 50K, where as India managed to contain it with 32K as of today with death toll just crossed 1K mark. Is it not a proof that India is now certainly handling the Covid-19 pandemic in a correct way ?!
