在人类可以移居火星之前，我们还生活在同一个地球。不分国界，不分种族，不分信仰，不分时区，我们都是观念上的地球公民。在这个地球公场，让我们呼吁理解、联结、合作、彼此支撑与爱。

编者按

截至5月3日，全球COVID -19病例累计确诊超过345万例。美国确诊病例超过118万，前一日新增30568例。加拿大累计确诊59474例，前一日新增病例2760例。位居全球第12位。

在加拿大各省中，魁北克省（Quebec）和安大略省（Ontario）这两个相邻的省份疫情最为严重。四月中旬，魁北克省迫于经济压力，效仿英国宣布了“群体免疫计划”，希望重启经济，甚至提出将开放学校和幼儿园。这一计划招致加拿大人联名反对。

相比之下，安大略省作为加拿大首都渥太华所在地，“经济重启计划”则较为谨慎，宣布学校至少关闭到5月29日。

好在，加拿大总理特鲁4月25日明确表态，“我认为我们没有任何希望以群体或个人获得免疫（来重启经济）的计划。”他强调，加拿大目前的重心仍然是继续推行社交隔离政策，并提供更多个人防护装备供应。

Caitlyn Jessop是一位来自加拿大安大略省的“05后”小朋友，也是一位观念上的“地球公民”。她出生于多伦多，现居多伦多以北的纽马克特市。受“地球公场（ID：We-UnitedEarth）”之约，Caitlyn从一个11岁小女孩的视角，和我们分享了她眼里 “疫情下的加拿大”。从她的疫情记录中，我们可以感受到一个11岁的加拿大女孩对这场疫情的思考、担忧和未泯的童真。

Caitlyn在加拿大和WUE一起发声

“但现在，我们还是待在家里，保持安全。”

今天要分享的，是Caitlyn在加拿大的疫情记录。Caitlyn用英文写作，为了方便中文读者阅读，我们把中、英文的内容在此处分享，英文原版文章放在今天第二条推送。

此前，“地球公场（ID：We-UnitedEarth）”已经和大家分享过一篇来自加拿大多伦多的疫情日记【WUE·加拿大| “多伦多地下室”的发问：“文明”这面具会持续多久？】（点击链接阅读），今天我们从另一个视角来看看疫情中的加拿大。

嗨，我叫凯特琳·杰索普（Caitlyn Jessop），来自加拿大。我出生在多伦多，几年前和家人搬到附近的纽马克特，一直生活到现在。

Hi, I’m Caitlyn Jessop and I am from Canada. I was born in Toronto, and moved to Newmarket with my family at the age of 7.

今年的新冠病毒太可怕了。太多人都被吓到了。我听说，加拿大已经超过五万人感染了病毒。我家所在的安大略省的确诊人数已经快两万个了（截至5月2日，17,119个，在加拿大各省中排第二）。

The COVID-19 is so horrible that too many people are scared. I've heard that more than 50,000 people in Canada have been confirmed with the COVID-19. Our province has had almost 20,000 confirmed cases (By May 2nd, the exact number is 17,119, ranking second among the provinces).

隔离在家的日子可真不好受，让我倍感压力。怎么说呢，谁叫我是小孩子，你们知道的，小孩子都不爱听话。新冠疫情爆发前，我的爸爸妈妈曾喊我一起出去玩，我没听他们的。当时，就想宅在家里玩我的手机游戏Roblox。

Being quarantined by the COVID-19 is stressful because I'm a kid, and kids don't listen to anyone. Before the COVID-19, my mom and dad would want me to go outside and I would want to stay in and play Roblox on my phone.

现在，我想要出去玩了，却只能待在家里。安大略省是加拿大人口最多的省，前一个月（3月17日）开始，就宣布进入了“紧急状态”。也就是说，不可以举行50个人以上的聚会，不可以在餐厅吃饭，它们只能提供外卖。说实话，我好想闻闻外面的空气，我想出去散散步，骑骑自行车。我还想约我的朋友们或者就和爸爸妈妈一起去公园里玩。不过我知道我的这些计划算是泡汤了。因为我们现在并不是真正意义上地“放假”，而是在家里遵守“社交距离”。而且就算可以出门，外面所有的公园也都没开门。

But now that I have to stay inside, I miss the outside. Ontario, Canada’s largest populous province, declared a state of emergency on March 17th (local time), with more than 50 people banned from gathering and restaurants only serving takeout. To be honest, I now always want to go on a walk or for a bike ride. I also want to go to the park with my friends or just with my parents, but I can't because it's not a normal week off school and all the parks are closed.

由于疫情严重，加拿大的学校都关闭了。我现在只能在家学习。妈妈给我布置了好多的家庭作业，这太气人了，我是说作业，不是说我妈妈哦。让我沮丧的，还有我不能去学校跟我的朋友们见面，不能跟他们一起学习新的东西。这可怕的病毒！

The COVID-19 is causing the schools to close down so my mom is getting me to do work at home and it can be very annoying. The work, not my mom. I also don't get to see my friends at school or learn new things with them. What terrible virus!

学校和操场都关闭了，开学时间至少延期到5月29日以后。图源：Caitlyn

不过，我敢说我不是唯一一个害怕感染病毒的。我们的总理贾斯汀·特鲁多（Justin Trudeau），他的妻子之前新冠病毒检测结果呈阳性，虽然现在已经宣布痊愈了，我想他也一直在担惊受怕吧。说到特鲁多，我知道他救不了所有人的命，但是，他仍然竭尽所能地去挽救他的加拿大人民。我能感受到，他正在尽最大的努力让所有人都安然待在家里免受病毒感染。

But I bet that I'm not the only one who's scared about getting the virus. Prime Minister Trudeau's wife was tested positive for COVID-19 but it now has been declared that she has recovered. I would think that he would be scared and worried. Speaking of Prime Minister Trudeau, I know he can't save everyone's lives but he is trying to save as many lives as he can and I feel like he is trying his hardest to keep everyone inside and 6 feet apart when we are out in public.

我还了解到，在加拿大，政府取消了健康保险的3个月等候期。而且，还会为那些没有达到社保条件的新冠肺炎病人支付医疗费用。这对于很多没有健康保险的人来说，应该也是个好消息了吧。

I've also learned that in Ontario, the government waived the three-month waiting period for health insurance and paid for patients who got COVID-19 and did not meet social security requirements. That's good news for many people who didn’t buy health insurance.

就在今天（当地时间5月3日），特鲁多宣布，在五月份，加拿大儿童福利金（Canada Child Benefit）将会为有孩子的家庭提供一笔福利金，每个孩子将会得到300加币，帮助每个家庭度过难关。

As of today (on May 3rd , local time), Trudeau announced that in May, the Canada Child Benefit would provide a benefit to families with children, each of whom would receive 300 Canadian dollars to help each family tide over the difficulties.

我听新闻上说，如果我们要外出的话，在公共场所与人也要保持6英尺的距离。这段时间，每次爸爸或妈妈出去采购食物，或者是妈妈去银行上班，我都会提心吊胆，因为我怕他们会感染病毒。妈妈告诉我，她所在的银行虽然不建议工作人员戴口罩，但是也在柜台新搭起了玻璃挡板，防止人们讲话时飞沫喷到彼此。

The news said that if we are going out, we must keep a distance of 6 feet between each other in public places.I get scared every time my mom or dad goes out to get food and every time my mom goes to work at the bank. My mother told me that although her bank does not recommend staff to wear masks, a new glass baffle has been set up at the counter to prevent people from spraying each other when talking.

除了担心我的家里人，我还担心一个人，她是我的一个朋友。三月初的一天，那时候疫情还没有爆发，我想去学校时给她带点东西，发现她没来上学。后来我问她怎么了，她告诉我她生病了。虽然她说她只是感冒，可我还是有点担心她。因为她是我的朋友，我不希望我的朋友们生病，尤其是现在这个时候。

It's not only my family that I'm worried about. One of my friends wasn't at school one the day before March break so I brought her all the stuff that she might want when we are isolated, and when I got there to give her her stuff I asked why she wasn't at school that day and she said she was sick, but she said she only had a cold, but I still got worried because she's my friend and I don't ever want my friends to get sick, especially now.

我不知道疫情什么时候才能结束，但我知道，这个时候我的朋友们应该会表现得很酷、很冷静。我偷偷地对自己说，“你也要酷一点，冷静一点。”我好想跑去给朋友们一个拥抱，并且问候一下，“你们还好吗”“你们现在还害怕吗？”

I don't know when all of this is going to be over but I do know that when it is my friends are probably going to act all cool, and I will too but on the inside. I will so want to hug them and go "are you alright? were you guys scared?"

在我的所有朋友中，我感觉自己就是最爱操心的那个，因为我想让所有人都过得好，过得开心。

Because I feel like in our little group I am sort of the one who wants to make sure my friends are okay and happy.

在四月中下旬的时候，我听大人们说，加拿大的疫情拐点差不多已经来了。那距离我开学、见到好朋友的日子应该又近了一些吧。

In the mid- and late April, adults told me that the outbreak of inflection point of the pandemic in Canada had almost come. It should be a little closer to my school days and meeting my good friends.

4月28日，福特省长（安大略省省长）说，安大略省要考虑经济重启的事情了。有可能会在5月18日左右，很多商店就要开始逐步恢复营业了。听说一些当地的居民还进行了集会游行，抗议城市封锁的措施，希望能早点儿恢复。

On April 28th governor Ford said our province had to consider restarting the economy. It is possible that many stores will gradually start to resume their business on May 18th. Some local residents have also staged rallies to protest against the city's blockade, hoping to come back the right track as soon as possible.

我们生活的这个地方，能好好的恢复成原来的样子吗？

Can this place where we live together come back to what it used to be ?

福特省长在新闻发布会上颁布了重启计划的三个阶段：

Governor Ford declared three phases of the restart plan at the press conference:

第一阶段：满足公共卫生指导原则的企业可以立即开业。一些户外场所，包括公园等。

The first stage: Enterprises that meet public health guidelines can open business immediately. Some outdoor areas, including parks.

第二阶段：基于风险评估的更多工作场所，其中可能包括一些服务行业和零售业可以开放，包括一些较大型的聚会。

The second Phase: More workplaces based on risk assessment can open up, which may include some service and retail industries and some larger gatherings.

第三阶段：进一步放宽对公众聚会的限制。但大型聚会如音乐会和体育赛事仍将受到限制。

The third Phase: Further lift restrictions on public gatherings. But large-scale parties such as concerts and sporting events will still be hemmed in.

特鲁多总理也说了，我们不能急于求成，经济恢复的计划要根据实际情况慢慢来。他强调，加拿大目前的重心仍然是继续推行社交隔离政策。

Prime Minister Trudeau also said that we can not rush to achieve success, and the plan for economic recovery should be carried out step by step considering the actual situation. He stressed that Canada currently focused on continuing its social isolation policy

最近安大略省的新增确诊病例虽然有所下降，还是有很多，今天（5月3日）又新增了434个。虽然我也很想早点和好朋友们见面，但我还是很担心。

The number of new confirmed cases in Ontario has declined recently, with 434 new cases added today (on May 3rd). Although I’m eager to meet with my friends, I am still very worried.

不过，我期待着疫情会慢慢得到控制，尽快结束，这样学校就能重新开放，我们也可以去各地旅游。最重要的一点是，我们可以与亲朋好友们相聚。

In the future, I think that everyone is still going to use a lot of hand sanitizer, and all those things but, hopefully, the COVID-19 will calm down, maybe even stop, so schools can open up again, we can all travel but most importantly see our friends and family.

光是想到这一切都能结束，我就激动万分。因为那时候，我将可以用掉一次爸爸妈妈为我预存的旅行机会！我还可以见见我的姑妈还有她刚刚出生的小宝宝；我能回到学校；我可以去见我的另一个表亲，我听说她得到了一只新的小兔子，我真的是太高兴了。

I am excited for all of this to be over because then I can go on a trip my family has been saving for, see my aunt and baby cousin, go back to school, I will get to see my other cousin, who got a new bunny rabbit so I'm really happy about that.

还有令我激动的是，我又能和我的邻居小伙伴去树林和公园里嬉戏玩耍了。我们常常在公园里一起爬树。我一般去那儿会带上手机和零食，当然我也会带上书，因为我们都喜爱阅读。我们最喜欢在夏天的时候去那儿玩，因为那时候的树叶红绿相间，阳光洒在上面，那斑驳的树影真是好看极了。不过，最主要的原因还是每当我们回家，我们各自手握着一根冰棒，坐在家门口的前廊上惬意地啃着。

I am also excited to go play outside in the trees and the parks. My neighbor and I used to always got to this one tree and climb into it. I would bring our phones, snacks, books because we both love to read, but our favorite time to do that is in the summer when the leaves are red and green and the sun is out so the shade in the tree feels extra nice, but mostly because when we get back we would eat a popsicle together on the front porch. These are all my thoughts about the COVID-19 and all my worries that come with it.

最后请大家注意安全啊，要勤洗手，保重！

Be safe and wash your hands frequently. Take care!
