福克斯新闻 解除强制口罩令是重大错误(2)

WALLACE: But let's talk about this, because this isn't just Mississippi and Texas. There's a push in this area across the country. I'm going to put up two maps for you to take a look at, Doctor. The first one is, this week, 16 states, all run by Republican governors across the south and the Midwest and some of the Rocky Mountains states, 16 states all run by Republican governors will either have lifted mask mandates² or never had them. And all 50 states, all 50 run by Republican and Democratic governors, will be either mostly or partly open for business, and some of them at 100 percent capacity. Is that -- clearly on the masks you think it's too much too soon. On the opening businesses, are you concerned that that's moving too fast, particularly 100 percent capacity in -- in gyms and restaurants and bars?

华莱士：但是让我们再来聊一聊这个问题吧，因为这不止关乎密西西比州和德克萨斯州。美国全国都在推动这个问题。博士，我现在要向你展示两张分布图。第一张图展示的是全部由共和党州长管理的16个州的本周情况，它们是分布于美国南部、中西部和落基山脉的一些州。这16个全部由共和党州长管理的州要么取消了强制口罩令，要么从未下达过强制口罩令。至于美国的全部50个由共和党或民主党州长管理的州，将大部分或部分开放经济活动，其中一些店铺的客流量将开放到100%。很明显，你觉得现在解除强制口罩令还为时过早。那你是否担心开放经济活动的进展太快了呢，尤其是健身房、餐厅和酒吧的客流量恢复至100%？

FRIEDEN: Well, interestingly, Chris, those two things are related. If you keep a mask mandate¹ in place, you'll be able to open more and be more likely to keep it open without risk to people, not just to other customers, but the workers there as well. I do worry about restaurants and bars where people may be speaking loudly without masks on. And you really do have to focus -- you know, the governor said, well, if you don't want to go into a restaurant where people aren't wearing masks, you can go to a different restaurant, not if you're the waiter. If you're the waiter, yes, you can wear a mask but you're must safer if the customers wear a mask when they're not eating, obviously, and you wear a mask. So mask mandates are a way of preserving our health and our economy. 

弗里登：克里斯，有趣的是，这两件事是相互关联的。如果你实行强制口罩令，你将能够开放更多企业，更有可能在保持开放的同时不会危机民众，不仅不会危机客户，也不会危及工作人员。我确实担心餐馆和酒吧里的人可能不戴口罩就大声交谈。你真的必须集中注意力，州长说，在你不是服务员的情况下，如果你不想去一家没有人戴口罩的餐馆，你可以去另外一家。如果你是服务员，你可以戴口罩。但如果顾客不吃饭时戴口罩会让你更安全，显然，你要戴口罩。因此，强制口罩令是保护我们的健康和经济的一种方式。
