【龙腾网】澳大利亚几乎消灭了新冠病毒

Australia has almost eliminated the coronavirus — by putting faith in science
通过对科学的信任，澳大利亚几乎消灭了冠状病毒
The nation of 26 million is close to eliminating community tranSmission of the coronavirus, having defeated a second wave just as infections surge again in Europe and the United States.
这个拥有2600万人口的国家已接近消除冠状病毒的社区传播，在欧洲和美国再次出现感染激增之际，该国已经战胜了第二波疫情。
No cases were reported on the island continent Thursday, and only seven since Saturday, besides travelers in hotel quarantine. Eighteen patients are hospitalized with covid-19, the disease caused by the coronavirus. One is in an intensive care unit. Melbourne, the main hotbed of Australia's outbreak which recently emerged from lockdown, has not reported a case since Oct. 30.
周四，没有报告出现新的病例，自周六以来，除了在酒店被隔离的游客外，只有7例新增病例。18名患者因冠状病毒引起的新冠肺炎住院治疗。其中一个在重症监护室。墨尔本是澳大利亚爆发疫情的主要城市，最近才刚刚摆脱封锁，但自10月30日以来一直没有报告出现新的病例
"I never thought we would really get to zero, which is amazing," said Sharon Lewin, the Melbourne-based director of the Peter Doherty Institute for Infection and Immunity, which provided forecasts in February that formed the basis of the Australian government's response. "I've been going out nonstop, booking restaurants, shopping, getting my nails done and my hair cut."
“我从没想过我们会真的达到零感染，这太神奇了，”墨尔本彼得·多尔蒂感染与免疫研究所主任莎伦·卢因说，该机构在2月份提供了预测，并以此作为澳大利亚政府作出回应的依据。“我一直在不停地外出，预订餐厅，购物，修指甲，剪头发。”
As North America, Europe, India, Brazil and other regions and countries struggle to bring tens of thousands of daily infections under control, Australia provides a real-time road map for democracies to manage the pandemic. Its experience, along with New Zealand's, also shows that success in containing the virus isn't limited to East Asian states.
在北美、欧洲、印度、巴西和其他地区和国家努力控制每天数以万计的感染之际，澳大利亚为民主国家管理这一流行病提供了实时路线图。澳大利亚和新西兰的经验也表明，成功遏制病毒的不仅限于东亚国家
Perhaps most importantly, though, leaders from across the ideological spectrum persuaded Australians to take the pandemic seriously early on and prepared them to give up civil liberties they had never lost before, even during two world wars.
然而，也许最重要的是，来自不同意识形态的领导人说服澳大利亚人及早认真对待疫情，并让他们做好放弃公民自由的准备，即使在两次世界大战期间，他们也从未失去过公民自由。
"Regardless of who you vote for, most Australians would agree their leaders have a real care for their constituents and a following of science," McLaws said. "I think that helped dramatically."
“不管你投给谁，大多数澳大利亚人都会同意，他们的领导人真正关心他们的选民，并奉行科学，” 姆利基说。“我认为这起了很大的作用。”

It's seasonality. Just like in Europe we nearly eliminated it in the summer. And in northern USA the same. Tropical places not so much.
Lockdowns have nothing to do with it.
这是季节性的。就像在欧洲，我们在夏天几乎消灭了它。在美国北部也是如此。热带地区就不是这样了。与封锁无关。
Paulkaz
That wouldn’t explain why hot India and tropical Brazil have drastic infection rates? Europe and USA didn’t lockdown enough to eliminate the virus. It took Victoria 3 months of hard oppressive restraint to succeed. An amazing effort that saved the rest of us Australians.
这不能解释为什么炎热的印度和热带的巴西的感染率如此之高? 欧洲和美国没有采取足够的措施消除病毒。维多利亚用了3个月的艰苦压抑才成功。了不起的努力拯救了我们澳大利亚人。

The facts prove otherwise. We were in hard lockdown right throughout the bitter cold of winter (yes it gets cold in the southern states of Aus!). Lockdown works. It saved lives. Australia is proof.
事实证明并非如此。整个严冬，我们都被牢牢地锁在里面(是的，南部的澳斯州也变冷了!)封锁工作。它挽救了生命。澳大利亚证明了这一点。
Elizabeth Grey
Hmmm... I lived it. And I think you are wrong. Lockdowns work - If you do them and don't keep sneaking out to break the rules. We pretty much did stay home & only went out for the basics of exercise, food & care giving. We eliminated in the winter... We did it twice in Victoria.
嗯…我住在那边。我认为你错了。封锁是有效的——如果你这么做了，而且不经常溜出去打破规则的话。我们大部分时间都呆在家里，只出去做一些基本的锻炼、买一些食物。我们在冬天消灭了病毒。
RAY C
We in Australia have not yet experienced it in Summer. Started in Autumn, went to through winter spring.
Brazil which is pretty warm all year round had a high rate of cases.
我们在澳大利亚还没有经历过夏天。从秋天开始，过了冬天到春天。
巴西全年都很温暖，所以病例率很高。

and your qualifications on epidemiology, virology, public health and chronic diseases come from where?
你在流行病学，病毒学，公共卫生和慢性病方面的资历来自哪里?
Michelle Scragg
It's not summer in Australia, it's Spring. Lockdowns, isolation, hygiene, distancing, all contribute to why we are doing so well...oh and we seem to be mostly a bit more intelligent
澳大利亚现在不是夏天，是春天。封锁、隔离、卫生、保持距离，所有这些都是我们做得这么好的原因…对了，我们似乎更聪明一点

Climate plays a Small part. Parts of Australia (TaSmania) get as cold as some European countries. The main advantage Australia has is strong borders & relative population density
气候只是其中一小部分。澳大利亚部分地区(塔斯马尼亚)和一些欧洲国家一样冷。澳大利亚的主要优势是强大的边界和相对的人口密度

I’ll introduce you to an Australian saying: “Yeaaaaah-nah.”
We got this down with rules, faith in science and a lotta resilience WELL before the weather changed.
Not to mention the latency of the virus meant we had it nailed down, what, about 2 weeks before cases hit zero.
我将向你介绍一句澳大利亚谚语:“Yeaaaaah-nah。”
早在天气变化之前，我们就已经用规则、对科学的信任和很强的适应力来解决了这个问题。
更不用提病毒的潜伏期，这意味着我们已经确定了，大约两周后，病例数为零。
Temlei
Mate I am in Australian and this ain't even close to summer. Please learn more about the world
伙计，我在澳大利亚，现在还没到夏天呢。请多了解这个世界。

What has happened in Australia has only happened due to closure of international borders & quarantining of every person who steps onto our soil. Victoria screwed up because we have a corrupt fascist govt here & they purposefully created a 'second wave'.
澳大利亚所发生的一切只是因为国际边界的关闭和对每一个踏上我们土地的人的隔离。维多利亚搞砸了，因为这里有一个腐败的法西斯政府，他们故意制造了“第二波疫情”。
Greg Latham
I seem to remember recently that hundreds of passengers were allowed to disembark from a covid19 riddled passenger liner called the Ruby Princess.
So much for the "quarantining of every person who steps on to our soil.
我似乎记得最近数百名乘客被允许从一艘被covid19病毒感染的客轮上下来，这艘客轮名为“红宝石公主”。
“对每一个踏上我们土地的人进行隔离”的说法到此为止。
Vinovino
We were in strict lockdown for months, wear masks & have restrictions on how many people we’re allowed in our home. All that said, I’m super grateful not to be living in fear Covid every time I leave the house now. We can go out and enjoy the reward of our hard work in peace
我们被严格禁闭了好几个月，戴着口罩，并对家里允许的人数有限制。话虽如此，我还是很庆幸现在每次离开家都不用生活在恐惧中。我们可以平静地走出去，享受我们辛勤工作的回报
Tick
And you have hit the nail on the head. The economy will fare much better if people don’t fear having to leave their house. Short term pain for long term gain.
你说到点子上了。如果人们不用担心不得不出门，经济状况会好得多。短期的痛苦换来长期的收获。
Sue Jay
We did. It was hard but we put people and science first. We just came thru our winter and now 0 cases because we did the right thing.
这很难，但我们把人和科学放在第一位。我们刚刚度过了冬天，现在没有病例，因为我们做了正确的事情。
DeeCee
The inclination of the Federal Gov vs the State Gov’s meant Australia got the balance between health and economy right. It’s a pity miSmanagement in Victoria let the rest of the country down.
联邦政府和州政府的倾向意味着澳大利亚在健康和经济之间取得了正确的平衡。很遗憾，维多利亚州管理不善，令全国其他地区失望。
lpse Dixit
We did it with no help from our useless Prime Minister who pushed to stay open. Instead we listened to ou state Premier and Chief Health Officer who put health before dollars.
我们没有得到推动开放的无用的首相的帮助。相反，我们听取了州总理和首席卫生官员的讲话，他们将健康置于金钱之上。
Kenneth Ng Mendez
Hahaha health before dollar you think those fines are for health. Nope, they’re taxes so politicians can get more money. Government always wins and they’re getting more money.
哈哈，健康先于美元，你以为这些罚款是为了健康。不，它们是税收，政客们可以得到更多的钱。政府总是赢，他们得到了更多的钱。
Jamie
You mean by closing our borders and locking us in our houses.
Our government has gone into so much debt our grandchildren will be paying it off.
你的意思是关闭我们的边境，把我们锁在我们的房子里。我们的政府欠了这么多债，我们的子孙将会还清。

No thanks to our Prime Minister Scott Morrison and his right-wing Federal Government.
不用感谢我们的总理斯科特·莫里森和他的右翼联邦政府。
The Victorian State Premier,
saved Australia, despite the efforts of the Federal Government, Conservative Politicians & the Rupert Murdoch dominated media to deny the science.
尽管联邦政府做出了努力，保守的政客和鲁珀特·默多克还是控制了媒体，否认这一科学。
MJ
For those saying ‘at what cost’, do you not realise it means we can open up our economy sooner and close to 100% giving us a net benefit vs the rest of the world. We went hard, quickly so we can open up hard and quickly.
对于那些说“要付出什么代价”的人，难道你们没有意识到这意味着我们可以更快地开放我们的经济，并使我们比世界其他国家获得接近100%的净收益吗?我们快速努力，所以我们可以快速地开放经济。
Rhiannon Smith
Our Prime Minister and federal govt was completely useless and actively tried to hinder suppression efforts. The victory goes to the state premiers/govts who got control and kept control. We are only here because of them, as well as the work of citizens over months and months.
我们的总理和联邦政府完全没用，还积极地阻挠抑制努力。胜利属于控制和保持控制的州长/政府。我们能站在这里完全是因为他们，也因为公民们数月来的努力。

Its wasn’t the federal govt that help control the virus apart from-closing all incoming and outgoing travel. the credit should goto the state leaders especially Dan Andrews from Victoria.
并不是联邦政府帮助控制病毒——关闭所有入境和出境的旅行。这应该归功于州领导人，尤其是来自维多利亚的丹·安德鲁斯。
Sher Campbell
It was the work done by the Premiers of the States. The Right Wing Federal Government criticised from the sidelines aided and abetted by the Murdoch Press. Thank goodness we believe in science and not snake oil saleSman.
这是各州的州长们所做的工作。右翼联邦政府在场外批评，得到默多克媒体的支持和怂恿。谢天谢地，我们相信科学，而不是骗人的。
joannechenery
This Up pointing backhand indexUp pointing backhand indexUp pointing backhand indexAll Australia is indebted to Dan Andrews & his team for holding course despite Murdoch Press and our Prime Minister and Treasurer efforts to undermine. Lets ask those fellows about (avoidable) aged care home deaths.
澳大利亚应该感谢丹·安德鲁斯和他的团队，尽管默多克的媒体和我们的总理和财政部长努力破坏我们的努力，他们还是坚持了自己的路线。让我们问问那些人关于(可避免的)养老院死亡的问题。
julie boyd
NO thanks to our federal govt who wr worse than useless. All thanks in Australia go to our fabulous state Premiers (like your Governors) who followed the scientist's recommendations and the vast majority of people saw sense and followed the directives.
不用感谢我们的联邦政府，他们比没用还糟。在澳大利亚，所有的感谢都要归功于我们出色的州长们(就像你们的州长们一样)，他们听从了科学家的建议，而绝大多数人认识了这个道理，听从了指示。
Eric Leotta
With all the comments on here bagging the feds I wonder how far the states would have gone without all the support packages the federal government supplied? State premiers were able to do what they did riding on the shoulders of the federal government.
我想知道如果没有联邦政府提供的所有支持计划，这些州能走多远?在联邦政府的支持下，各州州长可以为所欲为。
Eric Neil Koenig
And they've eliminated mass shootings by buying back people's guns and making it tougher to get their hands on one so one needs a permit to use one and it can only be temporary.
他们通过回购人们的枪支，让他们更难拿到枪支，从而消除了大规模枪击事件，所以人们需要许可证才能使用枪支，而且这只能是暂时的。
maude fealy
Yep. Feel very safe sending the kids to school here and we are pretty much over the coronavirus here. Been a tough year but it’s paid off dividends!!
是的。把孩子送到这里上学很安全，而且我们这里已经远离了冠状病毒。这是艰难的一年，但它得到了回报!!
Craig B
No thanks to the conservative Australian Fedetal Government.the credit must go the States..in particular Victoria.
多亏了保守的澳大利亚联邦政府。这得归功于各州。尤其是维多利亚州
Carolyn Paynting
It was our state governments who saved us. The federal government was trying to bully them into opening up to save the economy. Our state Premiers chose to save our lives instead.
The federal government closed the international border and gave financial support.
是州政府救了我们。联邦政府试图胁迫他们开放以拯救经济。我们的州长选择拯救我们的生命。联邦政府关闭了国际边界并提供了财政支持。
Cheryl
We are coming into summer. Wait until we open the borders and winter is upon us. The WuFlu will be back. Being holed up in Victoria, I am sick of living like I have leprosy. This is not living!
我们即将进入夏季。等我们打开边境，冬天就来了。流感会回来的。我住在维多利亚，厌倦了像麻风病一样的生活。这不是生活!
RelsBels
We are indebted to our Premiers (Governors in US) & state govts who listened to the science & took measures to protect us. The Prime Minister & the fed govt did nothing but try to discredit them & create division.
我们感谢我们的州长和州政府，他们倾听科学并采取措施来保护我们。总理和联邦政府什么也没做，只是试图败坏他们的名声，制造分歧。
Wayne Griffin
We are lucky we are an island, we trust our governments, we are educated, we can be compliant with rules and regulations and we are inclusive. Only countries with general compliance with rules are successful.
幸运的是，我们是一个岛国，我们信任我们的政府，我们受过教育，我们能够遵守规章制度，我们具有包容性。只有普遍遵守规则的国家是成功的。
Andromeda Deadface
We did what we needed to at the start and we did well. My state had 6 deaths total. My life pretty much went back to normal within about three months of the start.
我们在一开始就做了我们需要做的，我们做得很好。在开始的三个月里我的州有6人死亡，我的生活基本上恢复了正常。
Emily
Don’t give Morrison and Hunt any credit. Thank the state premiers that stood their ground and refused to be bullied by the PM and his ministers trying to undermine their efforts.
不要给莫里森和亨特任何荣誉。感谢那些坚持立场，拒绝被首相和试图破坏他们努力的部长们欺负的州长们。
Jonathon Nunan
It is super important to understand that it was due to the pro activiSm and stead fastness of the state governments, that Australia got on top of Covid. The federal government can take little, if any real credit.
非常重要的是，要明白，正是由于州政府的积极行动和坚定立场，澳大利亚才控制住了疫情。联邦政府几乎不可能获得任何真正的信贷。
