#美国疫情##全球疫情# 川普未曾想到的结果：本月新冠病毒死亡人数猛加十倍
［NPR］一个月前，川普总统在接受福克斯新闻访谈时，淡化了新型冠状病毒的潜在致死性，并将其与季节性流感进行了比较。
川普于3月24日说：“我们一种可怕的流感。我是说，想想：我们平均有36,000人（指每年）。死亡。死亡。我不是在谈论病例数，而是在谈论死亡人数〜每年36,000人死亡 。人们死于流感，每年有3万6千人死了。但我们从未因流感而关闭国家。所以你对自己说：“这是怎么回事？”
川普关于流感的数字令人质疑，但是即使按他自己引用的数字，现在在不到两个月的时间内死于新冠病毒感染病（COVID-19）的人数也要多得多。
Trump Didn't See It Coming: Coronavirus Deaths Increased Tenfold This Month.
A month ago, President Trump went on Fox and downplayed the potential lethality of the novel coronavirus and compared it to the seasonal flu.
"We've had horrible flus," Trump said March 24. "I mean, think of it: we average 36,000 people. Death. Death. I'm not talking about cases, I'm talking about death — 36,000 deaths a year. People die — 36 [thousand] — from the flu. But we've never closed down the country for the flu. So you say to yourself, 'What is this all about?'"
Trump's numbers on the flu have come into question, but even by his own cited numbers, there have now been far more deaths from COVID-19 — in less than two months.

#EvaGreen[超话]##伊娃格林[超话]# 在4月22日地球日的前一天写下长文，号召大家加强环保意识：
原文：
With the outbreak of Covid-19, the world has been swept up in a global crisis that has brought out in us – as all crises do - the best and the worst in humanity. And no matter who or what is to blame, scientists all over the world agree on one thing: this pandemic is the first of many to come… Unless we mend our ways.
Fifty years ago we were given similar warnings, which we did not heed and climate change has wreaked havoc around the world. We have asked, “nicely” for our leaders to do something but our leaders are the indentured servants to corporations whose policies put profit over public protection, and so it is clear that our leaders can only lead us to perdition.
But there is a group that gives me hope, and I urge you to join the EDN – Earth Day Network (@earthdaynetwork via www.earthday.org) which was born out of the first Earth Day in 1970.
We have one planet and one last chance to fix it, so please honour our home, this amazing planet, not just tomorrow, April 22nd, Earth Day, but every day.
Thank you
