當地時間4月26日,美國政府首席醫療顧問安東尼·福奇博士於PBS節目中回答了關於美國疫情何時結束的問題。

福奇表示,“美國現在肯定已經脫離了新冠疫情的大流行階段(out of the pandemic phase)。也就是說, 美國沒有每天90萬的新增感染病例,也沒有數萬的住院病人和數千的死亡病例。我們現在處於一個低水平階段。”
“因此,如果你問我們這個國家是否脫離了大流行階段,是的。我不相信我們會根除這種病毒。”他表示,“如果我們能夠將這一水平保持在非常低的水平,並間歇性地給人們接種疫苗。我不知道那必須得多頻繁,可能是每年一次,也可能是更長時間,以保持低水平。但是現在我們這個國家不處於新冠的大流行階段。”
福奇解釋,所謂大流行階段意味着存在全世界範圍內的廣泛感染,以及在人們之間迅速傳播。在全球範圍內大流行階段仍在持續。
但4月27日,福奇告訴CNN他的評論被一些人錯誤地描述爲疫情已經結束。"疫情還沒有結束(We’re not over the pandemic)。不要讓任何人誤解疫情已經結束。我們所處的是疫情的一個不同階段,"他說,"這個階段是一個過渡階段,希望能朝着更多的控制方向發展,那時候你可以真正恢復某種形式的正常狀態,而不會對社會、經濟、學校等造成完全破壞。”
福奇指出,美國近期的新增病例又有上升的趨勢。
"所以我們需要做的是繼續保持警惕,遵循疾病預防控制中心的指導方針,做各種可以保護你的事情。如果你沒有接種疫苗,就去接種疫苗;如果你可以接種加強針,就去接種加強針。如果你真的被感染了,要知道有抗病毒藥物可以使用。”
"我們每個人都必須以自己的方式對你被感染的風險做出評估,"福奇表示,"一般來說風險很低,但我做了一個個人評估。我已經81歲了,如果我被感染了,我的風險要高得多"。整編/趙昕萌
