布隆伯格狠批特朗普应对新冠病毒迟缓,他根本不懂科学!(附视频&演讲稿)
新冠肺炎疫情在美国的传播持续。本周末,美国本土的确诊病例猛增35%,并出现死亡案例。
上周五,美国本土报告新冠肺炎感染病例仅为65例,没有死亡案例。
但本周末的48小时内,相关数据猛增:截至美国东部时间1日晚间,美国共报告了89例新冠肺炎感染病例,病例数猛增35%;同时出现死亡案例,两名死者均出现在华盛顿州的同一家医院里。
在恐慌情绪的助推下,上一周,美股三大指数均暴跌逾10%(标普500指数累计下跌11.5%,纳指下跌10.5%,道指下跌12.4%),成2008年金融危机以来最差一周表现,市值蒸发3万亿美元。美联储考虑降息,特朗普考虑减税,美国债务必然为此大增。而美股的大跌也沉重打击了特朗普的连任希望。
美国民主党总统候选人,亿万富翁博隆伯格狠狠地抨击特朗普应对疫情反应迟缓,根本不懂科学。
Former NYC Mayor Mike Bloomberg has purchased three minutes of Sunday night primetime air on NBC and CBS nationwide to deliver this "address to the nation" on the coronavirus.
"Mike will outline the facts: coronavirus is spreading, the economy is plummeting" and Mike Bloomberg "has the experience to handle the coronavirus outbreak," the campaign said Saturday in a press release.
"At times like this, it is the job of the President to reassure the public that he or she is taking all the steps necessary to protect the health and well-being of every citizen," Bloomberg says in the address. "The public wants to know their leader is trained, informed and respected. When a problem arises, they want someone in charge who can marshal facts and expertise to confront the problem."
Good evening. I know this has been a very worrisome week for many Americans.
The Coronavirus is spreading, and the economy is taking a hit. Markets have fallen because of uncertainty.
At times like this it is the job of the President to reassure the public that he or she is taking all the necessary steps to protect the health and well-being of every citizen.
The public wants to know their leader is trained, informed and respected. When a problem arises, they want someone in charge who can marshal facts and expertise to confront the problem.
They want him or her to prepare for events like these in advance with teams of experts.
Communications must be honest and transparent, so people can be confident that professionals are in charge. Trust is essential.
Government’s resources must be focused and priorities clear and consistent.
Presidents have vast tools at their disposal — and they must be used effectively and decisively. This includes building strong, cooperative relationships with nations around the world to prevent and prepare for pandemics and other global emergencies that cross borders.
The Centers for Disease Control and the National Institutes of Health must be given all of the resources necessary to do their job free of political interference.
Decisions must be based on data and must empower the doctors and scientists whose job it is to keep us safe.
As the former mayor of New York City, I know it is critical that the federal government work in close partnership with state and local leaders who administer services and deploy first responders. That requires putting politics and partisanship aside.
I was first elected just weeks after the attack on 9/11 — a massive rebuilding, security and health challenge. In my 12 years in office I dealt with a hurricane, a blackout, attempted terror attacks, the West Nile virus and swine flu.
My method of leadership was to plan ahead before the problem arrived – we worked with hospitals and first responders to develop plans in advance, to improve communication and to invest in preparedness.
Through the Bloomberg School of Public Health at Johns Hopkins, I understood the challenges hospitals and medical professionals face and we worked as a team to upgrade readiness.
Each crisis is different, but they all require steady leadership, team building and preparation.
As Americans we have faced many challenges before, and we have overcome them together by looking out for one another — and I am confident that is how we will get through this one as well.
I’m Mike Bloomberg and I approve this message.
