CNN：美國兒科學會稱，過去兩周兒童新冠病例增加28%
據CNN報道，美國兒科學會（AAP）發(fā)布的最新數(shù)據顯示，過去一周美國兒童新冠病例新增14.4萬。過去兩周，兒童新增病例增漲28%，占比超過全美確診病例的11%。
There were more than 144,000 new cases of Covid-19 reported among children last week, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) said Monday.Over the last two weeks, there has been a 28% increase in child Covid-19 cases and children now account for more than 11% of all confirmed coronavirus cases in the US, according to the AAP.
從11月12日-19日，17歲及以下兒童病例為144145例。截至美國時間周一，美國累計新冠確診病例超過1200萬，超過25.7萬人的死亡與新冠病毒相關。
About 144,145 new cases among children 17 and under were reported from November 12 to 19, AAP said. As of Monday, the US has reported more than 12 million coronavirus cases, and more than 257,000 coronavrius-related deaths.
AAP的報告指出，“目前來看，兒童中因新冠引發(fā)的嚴重病癥還比較罕見。然而，我們急需收集更多疫情對于兒童長期影響的數(shù)據，包括病毒可能長期影響兒童身體健康的途徑，以及因此造成的情緒和精神健康方面的影響。”美國疾控中心的另一份報告則顯示，18歲及以下兒童中有關精神健康急診的案例激增，從4月份開始，一直到10月份都在增加。
“At this time, it appears that severe illness due to COVID-19 is rare among children,” the doctors' group said. “However, there is an urgent need to collect more data on longer-term impacts of the pandemic on children, including ways the virus may harm the long-term physical health of infected children, as well as its emotional and mental health effects. A recent CDC report found a jump in mental health-related emergency department visits among children 18 and younger, beginning in April and remaining elevated through October.
?？怂剐侣剟t指出，兒童感染新冠一直以來都是地方官員和關切的家長所關注的話題。很多人也表示擔心感恩節(jié)的來臨，會讓病例數(shù)目繼續(xù)增加。

面對美國當前的疫情形勢，美國的醫(yī)護人員也在社交媒體上號召大家提高對疫情的重視程度。
當?shù)貢r間23日，美國ICU護士凱瑟琳在推特上發(fā)布了兩張對比照片，顯示自己在疫情前后的容貌變化。這張照片的轉推超過2萬，點贊超23萬。
在評論區(qū)，有網友這樣評價：
“抱抱你。對于我們所有人（醫(yī)護人員）來說，太疲勞，太累了，還要面對背叛、質詢和懷疑。”
凱瑟琳則在推特中寫道：
“沒錯，這無異于持續(xù)的耳光，我可以努力工作，大汗淋漓，疲憊不堪的做苦活累活。但是，我不能接受那么多人不承認當今的局面是由于不作為和冥頑不靈所造成的。那些人，都不應該死去的。”
凱瑟琳還寫道：“看到那么多本可以活下來的人喪命，是令人絕望的事情，更絕望的則是你眼睜睜看著他們一個又一個以同樣的方式死去。最基本的常識和作法（指戴口罩等）被政治化的時候令人絕望。”
“新冠是嚴重的疾病，是破壞力最嚴重的對手。請明白，保護好你自己，就是在保護周圍的人。”
其他醫(yī)護人員也表達了類似的心情：醫(yī)護人員已經不堪重負。而且大家強調：面對即將到來的冬季和節(jié)假日，美國人戴好口罩，就是對醫(yī)護人員最大的幫助。
據《衛(wèi)報》報道，隨著美國疫情加劇，病患激增，現(xiàn)在美國醫(yī)院面臨人員不足的嚴重問題。
《衛(wèi)報》指出，美國有關方面推出新的宣傳視頻，100多家醫(yī)療衛(wèi)生系統(tǒng)機構聯(lián)合呼吁美國民眾佩戴口罩。視頻中除了宣傳口號，還展示出醫(yī)護人員疲憊的照片。
A new ad campaign from more than 100 of the nation’s health systems beseeches the American public to wear masks. The campaign includes both print advertising and a black and white video showing photographs of exhausted healthcare workers.
在視頻的最后，打出了“戴口罩”這樣簡單的文字，表達了醫(yī)護工作者對于美國公眾忽視共同努力以減緩疫情的這一請求，而感受到的沮喪與焦慮。
The ad ends with a simple message – “Wear. A. Mask.” – one that captures the frustration and anxiety of health workers who feel the public is ignoring their pleas to work together to slow the spread of Covid-19.
