  大蘋果難解封

紐約州長柯孟宣佈本週五將對上州的三個地區局部開放，同時也將在六月二十三日舉辦民主黨總統候選人投票。

大蘋果紐約市仍然處於艱難時刻，過去七個星期以來，一萬九千位紐約市民失去了宝贵生命，成千上萬的市民因失業陷入生活困境，地下鐵及窄小的巷子已經成為病毒的溫床。

遺憾的是，當今世界政治舞台仍然一片混亂，各國政要因為尋求本身之政治利益，對於全球防疫無法達成共識，許多國際組織也無法發揮指揮力量，加上经费短缺，導至疫情還無法掌控。

上週美國白宮多位官員確診為新冠病毒，包括副總統彭斯新聞秘書凱利在內，以致多名衛健高官都要立即隔離，連白宮都「淪陷」了。

拯救世界疫情之重責大任已經迫在眉睫，各國政要勢必立即召開疫情高峰大會，摒棄己見，全力來挽救人類面臨最大之危機。

           Big Apple Still Facing Big Challenge

New York Governor Andrew Cuomo said that the three Upstate New York Regions (the Mohawk Valley, the Southern Tier and the Finger Lakes regions) are set to partially reopen this Friday with limited construction, manufacturing and curbside retail.

The New York Democrats also are telling the national party that the June 23 primary will proceed. Because of public health concerns related to the coronavirus, New York’s Board of Election has cancelled the primary. But a federal judge subsequently ordered the primary to be restored to June 23 after the former Democratic presidential candidate Andrew Yang sued to block the move.

Seven weeks have passed since the coronavirus caused the Big Apple to be shut down. More than 19,000 New Yorkers have lost their lives and hundreds of thousands have lost their livelihoods. The virus is still spreading on the subways, small alleys and other public places.

Unfortunately, on the world stage we are still witnessing leaders who insist on their personal views rather than having us all working together to fight this pandemic.

In the White House, Vice President Mike Pence’s Press Secretary Katie Miller and three other officers tested positive for the coronavirus last week.

We are urging all the nations of the world to call an emergency meeting to find the fastest and most effective solutions for solving the biggest challenge facing mankind.
