>200K Covid-19 deaths in US美新冠死亡病例超20萬When Dr Anthony Fauci predicted in March that COVID-19 could kill 200,000 people in the US, skeptics lambasted him and accused him of fear mongering. 當安東尼福奇博士在3月份預測新冠肺炎可能在美國導致20萬人死亡時，懷疑論者痛斥他，指責他製造恐慌。But Fauci was right. 然而，福奇是對的。And the US reached that bleak milestone much earlier than some experts predicted. 而且全美死亡病例突破20萬例的時間要比一些專家預測的時間點早得多。Since the first known US COVID-19 death on Feb 6, an average of more than 858 people have died from the disease every day. 自2月6日美 國出現首例新冠肺炎死亡病例以來，平均每天有超過858人死於這一疾病。COVID-19 is now the second-leading cause of death in the US, just after heart disease, according to the University of Washington's Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation. 據華盛頓大學健康指標與評估研究所的數據，在美國，新冠肺炎目前是僅次於心臟病的第二大死亡原因。Already, COVID-19 has killed more people in the US than Americans killed in battle during the five most recent wars combined. The loss of life is like suffering the effects of 109 Hurricane Katrinas. Or enduring the 9/11 attacks every day for 66 days. 美國因新冠肺炎死亡的人數，已經超 過了最近五次戰爭中美國死亡人數的總和，是卡特裡娜颶風喪生人數的109倍，是911襲擊喪生人數的66倍。And researchers project almost 180,000 additional COVID-19 deaths by Jan 1. 研究人員預測，到明年1月1日，可能還會有近18萬人因新冠肺炎死亡。But it doesn't have to be that way. 但這並不是必然的。"Increasing mask use to 95 percent can save nearly 115,000 lives, reducing that expected number of deaths by 62.7 percent," the institute said. 健康指標與評估 研究所表示："將戴口罩比例提高到95%，可以挽救11.5萬人的生命，使預計死亡人數減少62.7%。" And the same mask wearing, physical distancing and hand washing that protect against COVID-19 also can help avert a flu-and-coronavirus "twin-demic" that could overwhelm the health care system. 戴口罩、保持社交距離和勤洗手不僅可以預防新冠肺炎，也有助於避免流感和新冠病毒形成"孿生流行病"，"孿生流 行病"可能導致醫療體系不堪重負。

>UK imposes tougher measures英國再度收緊防疫措施British Prime Minister Boris Johnson told people on Tuesday to work from home when possible and ordered bars and restaurants to shut earlier in a bid to tackle a fast-spreading second wave of COVID-19. 英國首相詹森9月22日下令，要求民眾儘可能居家辦公，酒吧和餐館提前打烊，以應對迅速蔓延的第二波新冠肺炎疫情。After government scientists warned that the death rate would soar without urgent action, Johnson said the new restrictions could last for six months, although he stopped short of imposing another full lockdown. 此前政府科學家警告稱，如果不採取緊急行動，英國將面臨新冠疫情死亡率飆升的危險。雖然詹森沒有宣布再度實施全面封鎖，但他表示，新的限制舉措可能將持續半年。"I'm sorry to say that as in Spain and France and many other countries, we have reached a perilous turning point," Johnson told parliament following emergency meetings with ministers and leaders of the UK's devolved governments. 詹森向國會表示："我很遺憾地說，和西班牙、法國等許多國家一樣，我們已經到了一個危險的轉折點。"在此之前，詹森與政府大臣以及北愛爾蘭、蘇格蘭和威爾斯的領導人舉行了緊急會晤。Just weeks after urging people to start returning to workplaces, Johnson advised office workers to stay at home if they could. 詹森建議辦公室職員儘量居家辦公，幾周前，他剛呼籲人們回到工作崗位。He ordered all pubs, bars, restaurants and other hospitality sites to close at 10 pm beginning Thursday with only table service allowed. 詹森還要求所有夜店、酒吧、餐館以及其它娛樂場所從9月24日起必須在晚上10點關門，且只允許提供桌邊服務。Face-masks will be required in more settings, businesses that break rules will be fined and there will be tougher enforcement against people who do not comply, he said. 詹森還表示，要求必須佩戴口罩的場合將增加，違反規定的商家將被罰款，政府對違反防疫新政的個人也將採取更嚴厲的措施。
