PBS高端访谈:美国数州采取多种措施遏制疫情蔓延（在线收听）

JUDY WOODRUFF: More states are moving tonight to try to curb the surge of COVID-19. But for now, at least, infections keep reaching new levels, with no end in sight. Lisa Desjardins begins our coverage.

朱迪·伍德乐夫：今晚将有更多的州采取积极行动，试图遏制病例激增的势头。但至少就目前而言，新增感染病例仍在不断刷新记录，而且这些迹象说明疫情还远远没有结束。由丽莎·德斯贾丁斯开始报道有关这方面的新闻。

LISA DESJARDINS: Every day this week, in just about every state, caseloads of the coronavirus have been rising. The nation as a whole has logged record numbers in six of the last 10 days. Texas is one of the hardest-hit states, with over 10,000 new cases of the virus yesterday, and the death toll surging past 100 per day. In Florida, patients are pouring into hospitals that once thought they had turned a page.

丽莎·德贾丁斯：在本周，几乎每个州的新冠患者病例都在增加。在过去10天中的6天里，全美国的病例数已经破纪录了。德克萨斯州是疫情最严重的州之一，昨天有超过1万人感染了这种病毒，每天的死亡人数超过100人。在佛罗里达州，病人纷纷涌入医院，之前他们一度以为自己的生活已经开启了新的篇章。

DR. ANDREW PASTEWSKI, Jackson South Medical Center: We felt good for a while. We were able to close down the COVID ICU. We had all the COVID patients in one floor. We felt like we had a handle on it. And then we had to open up a second floor and a third floor. Now we're into a fourth and fifth floor. And we don't see it getting any better.

杰克逊南方医疗中心安德鲁·巴斯特夫斯基：有段时间我们感觉情况有好转。我们用不上COVID-19重症监护病房了。所有的新冠患者都集中在一楼治疗。我们觉得我们应对得很好。之后我们不得不开放二楼和三楼。现在我们开放了四楼和五楼。我们并没有看到疫情有任何好转的迹象。

LISA DESJARDINS: In Orlando today, Governor Ron DeSantis again defended his decision to restart the economy in May.

丽莎·德贾丁斯：今天在奥兰多，德桑蒂斯再次为他5月份重启经济的决定辩护。

GOV. RON DESANTIS (R-FL): There was really no justification to not move forward because of the low, and that continued all through May, continued in the early part of June. And then we have now seen more cases and transmission at the exact same time that the rest of the Sunbelt is.

佛罗里达州州长罗恩·德桑蒂斯：确实没有理由因为低潮而不采取行动，这种情况一直持续到5月，一直持续到6月初。现在我们已经看到了更多的新增病例，同时美国南方一带的其他地区也是这样的情况。

LISA DESJARDINS: But now more states are pivoting back to old containment measures. Mississippi's governor has now made face masks mandatory in 13 of the hardest-hit counties. Michigan has toughened its mandate that businesses deny service to those without a mask. New Mexico is canceling contact sports at high schools this fall, and banned indoor dining at restaurants. And Nevada ordered bars to close again starting tonight. Meanwhile, the American Academy of Pediatrics, plus two major teachers unions, and a school superintendents organization, warned today against reopening schools this fall, unless local experts approve. President Trump has threatened to cut off federal funds for schools that don't reopen and criticized CDC guidelines as too onerous. Last night, he played down the severity of the virus'new surge in a phone interview with FOX News.

丽莎·德贾丁斯：但现在，越来越多的州正重新采取传统的遏制疫情的措施。密西西比州州长已经要求在疫情最严重的13个县中实行强制戴口罩的政策。密歇根州强制规定企业可以拒绝为不戴口罩的人提供服务。今年秋天，新墨西哥州将取消高中的身体接触项目运动，并禁止在餐馆内就餐。从今晚开始内华达又下令关闭酒吧。与此同时，美国儿科学会，以及两个主要的教师工会和一个学校监管机构今天警告说，除非当地专家批准，否则今年秋天不要重新复课。特朗普总统威胁要对未重新开放的学区停止拨款，并批评CDC的指导方针过于繁琐。昨晚，美国总统特朗普接受福克斯新闻的电话采访时淡化了病例激增的严重性。

DONALD TRUMP, President of the United States: Literally, in most cases, they automatically cure, they automatically get better.

美国总统唐纳德·特朗普：大部分新冠肺炎患者会“自愈”，他们会自然而然地恢复健康的。

LISA DESJARDINS: The president also stepped up his criticism of Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation's foremost infectious disease expert.

丽莎·德贾丁斯：总统还加大了对美国顶级传染病专家安东尼·福奇博士的批评力度。

DONALD TRUMP: Dr. Fauci is a nice man, but he's made a lot of mistakes.

唐纳德·特朗普：福奇博士是个好人，但他犯了很多错误。

LISA DESJARDINS: Fauci, in turn, told The Financial Times he hasn't briefed Mr. Trump for at least two months and they last saw each other in early June. Around the world, Australia, looking to contain a new outbreak in Melbourne, announced limits on how many of its own citizens will be allowed to return home from overseas each week. And Britain, slowly emerging from its lockdown, lifted a 14-day quarantine requirement for arriving travelers. Those rules, however, remain in place for those from higher-risk countries, including the U.S. For the "PBS NewsHour", I'm Lisa Desjardins.

丽莎·德贾丁斯：福奇则告诉英国《金融时报》，他至少有两个月没有向特朗普通报情况了，他们最后一次见面是在6月初。纵观全世界，澳大利亚为了控制墨尔本新的疫情爆发，宣布每周会限制本国公民从海外回国的人数。英国慢慢解除了紧急状态，取消了对入境旅客进行14天隔离措施。然而，这些隔离措施仍然适用于疫情高风险国家，包括美国。这里是“PBS新闻一小时”新闻节目，我是丽莎·德贾丁斯。
