NBC晚间新闻 美国疫情还在持续（在线收听）

Tonight fears are rising about more spread of the coronavirus. An associated press report finds demonstrations have taken place in the 25 U.S. communities with the highest concentration of new cases. We're not really gonna know about the impact for at least i think two weeks. In Minneapolis where protesters are gathering by the thousands, a silent transmission could overwhelm hospitals. Our ICU care is virtually maxed out. We would not be able to handle a five or ten percent increase very easily. While reported cases are slowing down nationwide, the economic impacts from the virus remains staggering. Nearly one point nine million unemployment claims were filed last week, hitting more than 42 million since mid-march. But every week the number of new claims dropped slightly, a sign pandemic layoffs may be stabilizing as states reopen and more people return to work.

In Las Vegas casinos are back in business. Universal Orlando theme parks owned by NBC's parent company are welcoming annual pass holders again. And New York city is set to begin phase one of reopening on Monday. While businesses try to recover from the financial devastation of coronavirus some cities now look unrecognizable. Entire blocks of stores already closed for months now boarded up after looting, like Lee's in Seattle. That broke my heart to see the small businesses have been really trying to hang in there now have this other hurdle. Making the comeback so many need more challenging than ever.

今晚，人们越来越担心新型冠状病毒会进一步传播。美联社的一篇报道发现，美国新病例最集中的25个社区都出现了示威活动。我认为至少在两周内，我们不会真正了解其影响。在明尼阿波里斯市，成千上万的抗议者聚集在一起，无声的病毒传播可能会使医院爆满。我们的重症监护病房几乎已经超负荷了。我们不能轻易地承受5%或10%的增长。尽管全国报告的病例数量在下降，但该病毒对经济的影响仍然令人震惊。上周申请失业救济的人数接近190万，自3月中旬以来失业人数已经超过了4200万。但每周新申请失业救济的人数都略有下降，随着各州重新开门营业，更多的人重返工作岗位，因疫情失业的人数可能正趋于稳定。在拉斯维加斯，赌场已经重新开始营业。NBC母公司旗下的奥兰多环球主题公园已向年票持有人开放。纽约市将于周一开始第一阶段的重新开放。企业试图从冠状病毒造成的金融破坏中恢复过来，而一些城市现在看起来已经面目全非。像西雅图的Lee's店铺一样，整条街区的商店在被抢劫之后已经关闭了好几个月。小企业一直在努力坚持，现在又遇到了另一个难关，这让我很心碎。让这么多人卷土重来，这要比以往任何时候都更具挑战性。
