CNN News: 新美國暴發(fā)40年來最致命流感

 
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: When public health officials describe this flu season so far, they're describing it as having started early, early as in September as opposed to typically in October and also being particularly hard on kids. You know, we've talked a lot about the corona virus here but let me show you flu numbers so far this flu season. 
 
未知男性：目前，公共衛(wèi)生官員描述到流感季節(jié)時，他們說它開始得很早，早在9月而不是在10月，而且對孩子們也形勢也特別嚴(yán)峻。你知道，我們已經(jīng)討論了很多關(guān)于冠狀病毒的內(nèi)容但是讓我向你們展示到目前為止這個流感季節(jié)的流感數(shù)據(jù)。

In the United States alone, some 29 million illnesses, 280,000 hospitalizations and 16,000 deaths and we look at that hospitalization number, the - - the most hospitalizations occur in people who are 65 and older. 

僅在美國，就有2900萬人患病，280000人住院治療，16000人死亡。我們看看住院治療的人數(shù)，住院治療人群多在65歲以上。

But the next biggest category is newborns to four years old. So, you know, this flu can be particularly hard on kids and this year so far has been the worst year for kids if you take out 2009 which was the H1N1 flu pandemic. This now becomes one of the worst years on record for kids with regard to the flu. 
 
其次是四歲以下的新生兒。所以，這種流感對孩子們來說尤其艱難，除了2009年的H1N1流感，今年是迄今為止對孩子們來說最糟糕的一年。對于孩子們來說，今年是有記錄以來流感最嚴(yán)重的一年。

I want to show you again just quickly looking at flu numbers here which I just shared with you and corona virus again because we've been talking about corona virus so much. On the left those are U.S. numbers, on the right are global numbers for corona virus and you can see obviously flu does cause a lot more illness and a lot more death in the United States and around the world. 
 
我想再給你們快速看一下流感的數(shù)字，我剛和你們分享了一遍新型冠狀病毒，因為我們一直在討論冠狀病毒。左邊是美國的數(shù)字，右邊是冠狀病毒的全球數(shù)字。你可以明顯地看到流感在美國和全球各地引發(fā)的死亡人數(shù)更多，同時引發(fā)更多疾病。

The reason there continues to be such concern about corona virus is because it is a new virus and whenever you have a new virus you're not exactly sure how it's going to behave how it's going to trend, or if - - if it's going to continue to mutate. So those are things that researchers are keeping an eye on but certainly here in the United States we've got to keep an eye on flu as well. Can't take our eye off the ball and it's still not too late to get the flu shot. Something we talk about a lot. 
 
關(guān)于冠狀病毒一直存在這樣的擔(dān)憂是因為它是一種新病毒，對于新病毒人們不確定它的表現(xiàn)癥狀以及發(fā)展趨勢，或者它是否會繼續(xù)變異。這些都是研究人員關(guān)注的問題但在美國我們也必須關(guān)注流感。我們必須密切關(guān)注，現(xiàn)在打流感疫苗還為時不晚。這是我們經(jīng)常談?wù)摰脑掝}。
