尽管美国多名卫生官员警告称，过早放松疫情防控措施可能会引发新一波病例激增，但美国仍然有越来越多的州正在取消“口罩令”和对餐厅、酒吧等非必要营业场所的防疫措施限制。又恰逢美国春假来临，近日美国佛罗里达州迈阿密海滩处聚集大量人群，很多正在放春假的美国大学生，趁假期来到著名沙滩举办派对，人群堵塞街道、喝酒狂欢。场面一度混乱失控，当局宣布进入紧急状态，并实施宵禁。A growing number of states in the U.S. states are lifting the ban on masks and restrictions on non-essential places of business, including restaurants and bars, even as health officials warn that a premature relaxation of control measures could trigger a new wave of novel coronavirus cases.A state of emergency has been declared and a curfew imposed in Miami Beach, Florida, as crowds gathered in chaotic scenes ahead of the spring break.当地时间3月23日，美国新闻聚合网站BuzzFeed上名为《16张迈阿密春假混乱的狂野照片》的贴文再现了当时混乱的场面，引起网友广泛关注，阅读量超过38万。
但这阻挡不了“向往自由”的美国人去阳光沙滩享受的脚步。
夜幕降临，宵禁时间临近，人群完全没有要散去的迹象，并越发混乱。
晚8点宵禁开始后，数千人无视宵禁规定，警方不得不动用强制手段将他们驱散：The BuzzFeed post, titled 16 Wild Photos Of The Spring Break Chaos That's Happening In Miami Right Now, captures the chaos. Besides, the post attracted widespread attention from netizens and has been read by more than 380,000 people.
网友表示他们真的太疯狂了：
“这些照片简直是疯了”
也有网友便表示这就是为什么美国一直不能恢复正常的原因：
“这就是为什么我们不会恢复正常的原因。这太烦人了！”
“他们没有遵守社交距离，甚至没有戴口罩，本来一切都接近正常了，这可能会把一切搞砸。我真的受够了，再见。”
无独有偶，为了复苏经济，上周五，美国内华达州州长史蒂夫·西索拉克放松了该州疫情防控措施，允许50%的赌场、酒吧和餐馆重新开业，成千上万的人涌进拉斯维加斯，拉斯维加斯大道几乎恢复了昔日的繁华。拉斯维加斯大道重新开放后的第一个周末，拥挤的人群中传递出“感谢拜登”的信息。因为美国民众期待已久的疫情纾困金终于进入了他们的“口袋”。许多狂欢者表示，他们已经将1400美元的疫情纾困金用来享受周末的派对。尽管内华达州已经放松了一些防控措施，但仍在强制执行在某些公共场所佩戴口罩的命令，但并非所有人都坚持执行，在拉斯维加斯大道上随处可见未佩戴口罩的游客。This is not an exception. In an effort to revive the economy, Nevada Governor Steve Sisolak announced the easing of certain COVID-19 mitigation measures in the last week, allowing casinos, bars, and restaurants to reopen at 50 percent capacity.Thousands flocked to Las Vegas over the weekend to spend their $1,400 pandemic stimulus checks.Although some health restrictions have been eased, Nevada is still enforcing a mask mandate – although not everyone is sticking to it.Is COVID-19 really over in the United States?
