美國(guó)州衛(wèi)生官員疫情發(fā)布會(huì)上哽咽:我們已經(jīng)沒(méi)地方存放尸體了 來(lái)源:21英語(yǔ)網(wǎng) 作者:21ST 日期: 2021-08-31
“我不知道我們還能照此堅(jiān)持多長(zhǎng)時(shí)間。” 27日,美國(guó)亞拉巴馬州衛(wèi)生官員斯科特·哈里斯(Scott Harris)在該州的疫情防控新聞發(fā)布會(huì)上哽咽著說(shuō)道。↓
(視頻戳這里) Alabama State Health Officer Dr. Scott Harris choked up last Friday at the reality of the state’s ongoing fight against the pandemic. “I don’t know how much longer we’re going to be able to do this,” he said of sustaining efforts against the surging disease. “我們真的處于一場(chǎng)危機(jī)之中。” 斯科特宣布,上周四,亞拉巴馬州新增新冠肺炎病例達(dá)5000例,由于該州總體住院人數(shù)持續(xù)攀升,已遠(yuǎn)超重癥監(jiān)護(hù)室的承載量。死于新冠的患者數(shù)量也隨之激增,卻已經(jīng)沒(méi)有地方停放這些尸體。對(duì)此,亞拉巴馬州衛(wèi)生部只好啟用具備冷藏功能的移動(dòng)拖車來(lái)安置尸體。 斯科特稱,這是疫情以來(lái)首次使用這樣的“移動(dòng)停尸房(mobile morgue trailers)”。通常只有在發(fā)生大規(guī)模傷亡事件(mass casualty event)時(shí)才會(huì)這么做,而實(shí)際上亞拉巴馬州醫(yī)院目前的情況正是如此。 “We are really in a crisis situation,” he said. Alabama saw 5,000 new positive cases Thursday while hospitalizations have outstripped ICU capacity and continue an upward trend. Noting the reality of the situation, the ADPH(Alabama Department of Public Health)has moved two mobile morgue trailers to south Alabama in anticipation of rising deaths. It’s the first time during the pandemic such a move has been necessary, he explained, but stated “there’s no room to put these bodies.” 這位衛(wèi)生官員指出,實(shí)際上“我們看到的很多情況都是可以預(yù)防的”。 他強(qiáng)調(diào),廣泛的戴口罩和接種疫苗就能緩解危機(jī)。他對(duì)這些措施在該州的不受歡迎,感到“非常沮喪”。 “So much of what we are seeing is preventable,” he said he was “intensely frustrated,” with the lack of vaccinations and masking to prevent the spread of coronavirus. 據(jù)美國(guó)疾控中心27日的數(shù)據(jù)顯示,盡管亞拉巴馬州接種疫苗的人數(shù)有所增加,但仍舊是美國(guó)疫苗接種率最低的州之一,只有37%的居民完全接種了疫苗。該州卻是美國(guó)新冠確診率最高的州之一,新冠檢測(cè)陽(yáng)性率達(dá)23%。 Alabama’s positivity rate for COVID tests is at 23%, among the highest in the nation. Vaccinations have picked up in the state but Alabama continues to have the lowest vaccination rate in the country at 37%, according to the CDC as of last Friday. 綜合來(lái)源:WSFA 12 News,F(xiàn)ox10 News,觀察者網(wǎng) |
