近日，多國報告了一種新型變異新冠病毒奧密克戎（Omicron），引發(fā)全球關注（戳這里回顧）。

據美國CNBC報道，美國傳染病專家、白宮首席醫(yī)療顧問安東尼·福奇也就變異病毒奧密克戎向美國民眾發(fā)出警告。他表示，奧密克戎將“不可避免地（inevitably）”在美國出現，美國人需要做好準備，“不惜一切代價”抗擊這一新冠病毒變種。

Americans need to be prepared to do “anything and everything” to fight the omicron Covid variant, U.S. infectious disease expert Dr. Anthony Fauci said Sunday.

27日，福奇在美國全國廣播公司（NBC）旗下TODAY節(jié)目中稱，雖然美國目前還沒有確診的奧密克戎病例，但如果奧密克戎已經進入美國，他“不會感到驚訝”，這是因為“當有一種病毒表現出這種程度的傳播性”，“它最終總會蔓延到幾乎所有地方。”

Dr. Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, told viewers on Weekend TODAY on Dec 27 that it was possible the Omicron variant is already in the United States.

"I would not be surprised if it is. We have not detected it yet, but when you have a virus that is showing this degree of transmissibility… it almost invariably is ultimately going to go essentially all over," Fauci said.

28日，福奇在美國廣播公司（ABC）旗下節(jié)目This Week中再次表示，“奧密克戎”變異病毒將“不可避免地（inevitably）”在美國出現，“而問題在于，我們到時能否準備好？”

While the new Omicron variant of the COVID-19 virus has not yet been detected in the United States, it will "inevitably" arrive. “Inevitably, it will be here. The question is will we be prepared for it?”, Dr. Anthony Fauci told ABC's "This Week" on Dec 28.


 
當被主持人問及奧密克戎變種是否比德爾塔等毒株具有更強的傳播能力時，福奇回應說，奧密克戎的早期跡象“強烈表明”其可能更具傳染性，“可能會逃避單克隆抗體，甚至是疫苗”。

Pressed by the anchor on whether the Omicron variant is as or more transmissible than the Delta variant and other mutations that have swept the globe, Fauci said, "It appears to be."

The chief medical adviser said early signs "strongly suggest" that the variant may be more transmissible and might evade protections from monoclonal antibodies and "perhaps even antibodies that are induced by vaccine."

他指出，南非報告的新增病例中有很大比例都感染了奧密克戎變種，“你必須假定它具有很大程度的傳播優(yōu)勢。”

In South Africa, cases of new COVID-19 infections have been heavily weighted toward the omicron variant, Fauci said, so, "you have to presume that it has a good degree of transmissibility advantage."
 
但福奇也提到，南非人口的疫苗接種比例相對較低，根據約翰霍普金斯大學數據，只有大約24%的人口完全接種了疫苗，相比之下美國的這一比例約為60%。“當你試圖弄清楚病毒的真正發(fā)展方向及其影響時，也需要把這一點納入考量。”他說。

However, Fauci noted that a relatively small proportion of the population of South Africa is vaccinated. According to Johns Hopkins University, just over 24% of people in South Africa is fully vaccinated, compared to 60% of the U.S. population.

"So, you've got to take that into the equation when you're trying to figure out where this virus is really going and what its impact is going to be," Fauci said.

至于奧密克戎是否具有更強的致命性，福奇則表示這有待進一步觀察。他告訴主持人，美國科學家已于26日與南非同行交流過情況，雙方計劃于當地時間28日晚些時候再次會晤，“他們試圖查明確診的病例是否感染了這種變異病毒，確認其嚴重程度如何。”

Asked by Stephanopoulos if Omicron causes more severe disease, Fauci said that currently remains a mystery.

He said U.S. scientists spoke to their counterparts in South Africa on Friday and plan to meet with them again later on Dec 28 "to try and find out if the cases they have identified that clearly are caused by this variant, what is the level of severity in that."

盡管現在無法確定新冠疫苗能對奧密克戎起到多大的防護作用，但福奇認為，對美國來說接種疫苗依然是當下最好的應對措施。他強調，符合資格的美國人應盡快完成疫苗接種或加強針注射，同時也需要繼續(xù)堅持戴口罩、保持社交距離等防疫措施。

The chief medical adviser said the best way for Americans to prepare for the Omicron variant is to be vaccinated, to get a booster shot as soon as they are eligible, and to keep adhering to other protective recommendations such as wearing masks and practicing social distancing.
 


節(jié)目最后，福奇稱目前美國考慮是否實施新的封鎖和強制令還為時過早，“讓我們看看最新的實時消息會告訴我們什么，然后我們會像往常一樣，根據科學和證據做出決定。”

When Stephanopoulos broached the possibility of returning to the lockdowns due to the new variant, Fauci said it's "really too early to say."

He added, "Let's see what the information that we're getting in real-time tells us, and we'll make decisions based on the science and the evidence, the way we always do."
