在上週末美國民眾進行了一系列反居家隔離的抗議之後，美國傳染病專家安東尼·福奇（Anthony Fauci）表示過早重新開放美國經濟將會“適得其反”，敦促在重新開放各州時保持謹慎。
Anthony Fauci, a top expert on infectious disease in the United States, urged caution in reopening states, after a series of anti-quarantine protests over the weekend.
據美國廣播公司（ABC）報道，福奇在接受《早安美國》節目採訪時說：“我認為從經濟學的角度來看，（限制措施）確實造成了傷害。但是，除非美國能把病毒完全控制住，否則不會有真正意義上的經濟復甦。”
"Clearly this is something that is hurting from the standpoint of economics and the standpoint of things that have nothing to do with the virus, but unless we get the virus under control, the real recovery economically is not going to happen," Fauci, directer of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said on ABC's "Good Morning America."
他解釋說：“如果復工，導致疫情再度惡化並進入峰值，那麼就會出現倒退，現在的努力就可能白費。” 福奇認為，過程雖然痛苦，但不逐步解封會十分危險。
“這就是問題所在。”
"So what you do if you jump the gun and go into a situation where you have a big spike, you're going to set yourself back," the key member of the White House coronavirus task forces continued. "So as painful as it is to go by the careful guidelines of gradually phasing into a reopening, it's going to backfire. That's the problem."

近日，來自美國數十個州的居民走上街頭，抗議州政府為防控新冠肺炎疫情頒發的居家隔離令，宣稱其沒必要且限制時間過長——儘管健康專家警告，過早放寬限制可能會導致其他感染病例，甚至帶來更大的經濟危害。
Protests against stay-at-home orders meant to curb the spread of COVID-19 flared up in a few states, as attendees argued that restrictions were unnecessary or have gone on too long, despite warnings from health experts that relaxing them too soon could cause additional infections and even more economic harm.
新澤西州目前確診病例超85000例，死亡病例超4300例。週一，州長菲爾·墨菲（Phil Murphy）表示，重新開放必須做到“謹慎”和“有策略”。
New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy, a Democrat, said on Monday that reopening the state, which has reported more than 85,000 confirmed cases and over 4,300 deaths, must be "careful" and "strategic."
“這是一個分為兩個部分的方案–確保公共衛生狀況，以便在我們重新開放經濟時能有信心。現在還沒有這個信心。”
“重新開放經濟將對我們產生雙重影響——新冠肺炎病例仍在大幅度增加，商店裡也沒有顧客，因為人們仍然擔心他們以及孩子和家庭的健康。”
"This is a two-part scenario – securing the public health situation so you can have confidence as you get back as we reopen our economy. Right now, that confidence does not exist," Murphy tweeted. "Reopening our economy today would backfire on us two-fold – a large spike in #COVID19 cases, and no customers at our stores because people are still fearful for their health and that of their kids and families."
俄亥俄州共和黨州長邁克·德威恩（Mike DeWine）宣佈，該州將於5月1日開始重新開放的進程。他表示“正在努力讓企業重新開放，但又不至於陷入整個醫療保健系統因不堪重負，不得不再次關閉的風險。”
德威恩承認：“我們正在努力做正確的事，但是我們知道這對每個人來說都非常困難。”
Mike DeWine, Ohio's Republican Governor, who has announced that the state will begin the process of reopening on May 1, said on Monday that they are "trying to let businesses open back up, while not putting us at risk of having the whole healthcare system overwhelmed and then have to shut them down again."
"We're trying to get it right, but we understand this is very difficult for everyone out there," DeWine acknowledged.
美國約翰斯·霍普金斯大學公佈的數據顯示，截至美東時間週一（4月20日），美國累計確診病例超過78萬例，累計死亡超過42000例。
According to a tally from Johns Hopkins University on Monday, the number of coronavirus cases in the United States has reached over 784,000, with more than 42,000 deaths.
