紐約的新冠確診數已超過韓國全國……美國疫情遠超想象

New York City now has more confirmed coronavirus cases than all of South Korea, a country with more than 51 million people, compared with a city of roughly over 8 million.

紐約市現在新冠肺炎確診病例已超過韓國全國，韓國人口爲5100多萬，而紐約市人口剛過800萬。

According to a Johns Hopkins University tracker, New York City has over 10,700 confirmed cases of the novel coronavirus, while South Korea has at least 8,961.

約翰斯·霍普金斯大學的一名追蹤者稱，紐約市確診新冠肺炎人數超過10,700，韓國確診人數至少爲8,961人。

According to its Department of Health, New York state has over 15,100 confirmed cases, more than any other state as well as a number of countries, including the United Kingdom. There have also been over 115 deaths in New York state.

紐約州衛生局稱，該州有超過15,100人確診，比其他州甚至一些國家都要多，比如英國。紐約州死亡人數超過115。

The increasing numbers of confirmed cases in the state come just days after Governor Andrew Cuomo implemented a number of policies to help stop the virus' spread.

紐約州州長安德魯·科莫出臺了一些防止病毒傳播的政策的幾天後，該州確診人數開始上升。

Last week, Cuomo issued an order requiring all nonessential workers across New York state to stay home. Despite this, many New Yorkers continue to live their everyday lives, which Cuomo has called "wholly inappropriate."

上週科莫下了命令，要求紐約州所有不是必須出門工作的人待在家中。儘管如此，很多紐約人生活照舊，科莫說這樣做“非常不應該”。

"There is a density level in New York City that is wholly inappropriate," Cuomo said during a Sunday press briefing. "This is just a mistake! It is a mistake! It is insensitive. It is arrogant. It is self-destructive. It's disrespectful to other people and it has to stop, and it has to stop now. This is not a joke, and I am not kidding."

科莫在週日的新聞發佈會上說：“紐約市不該有這樣的人羣聚集度。這是在犯錯誤！這是不對的！人們都沒有意識到問題的嚴重性！這是自大的表現，是自毀行爲，是對別人的不尊重，這樣的行爲應該停止，不能再繼續這樣了。這不是開玩笑，我是認真的。”

In addition to his work-from-home order, Cuomo has implemented a number of other measures to help combat the virus, including conducting more tests than any other U.S. state and providing more resources to New York City and Long Island, such as masks and ventilators.

科莫除了發佈在家辦公的命令之外，還採取了其他防疫措施。紐約州比美國其他州進行的檢測都要多，爲紐約市和長島提供了更多的資源，包括口罩和呼吸機。

"UPDATE: We are sending 1 million N95 masks to New York City," Cuomo tweeted on Saturday. "500,000 N95 masks will go to Long Island. We are purchasing 6,000 additional ventilators and gathering supplies from every source we can get."

科莫週六在推特上說：“最新消息：我們給紐約市送去了100萬隻N95口罩，給長島送了500,000只N95口罩。我們額外採購了6,000臺呼吸機，正盡一切所能採購醫護用品。”
