福奇：美国出现第二波新冠疫情？第一波还没结束呢

随着美国各州重新开放经济，一些地区的新冠肺炎病例重新开始增加。美国传染病专家安东尼·福奇近日表示，人们一直在谈论第二波疫情，但实际上美国第一波疫情尚未结束。

What’s all this talk about a “second wave” of US coronavirus cases?

当我们在谈论美国“第二波”新冠疫情时，到底在谈论什么？

In The Wall Street Journal last week, Vice President Mike Pence wrote in a piece headlined “There Isn’t a Coronavirus ‘Second Wave'” that the nation is winning the fight against the virus.

美国副总统迈克·彭斯上周在《华尔街日报》发表了一篇题为《美国不存在“第二波”新冠疫情》的文章称，美国就要取得抗击新冠病毒斗争的胜利了。

Many public health experts, however, suggest it’s no time to celebrate. About 120,000 Americans have died from the new virus and daily counts of new cases in the US are the highest they’ve been in more than a month, driven by alarming recent increases in the South and West.

然而，许多公共卫生专家认为，现在庆祝还为时尚早。美国已有大约12万人死于新冠病毒感染，且受南部和西部地区感染病例大幅上升的影响，美国每日新增感染病例数量已达到一个多月以来的新高。
