My sister is one, and she has an autoimmune disorder. I worry about her everyday.

我的妹妹就是其中一员，她自身的免疫系统就有毛病，我每天都很担心她。

The US have the best medical schools, best cutting edge technologies, best scientist, etc but all of those are powerless against politics.

美国有着最好的医学院，最先进的技术，最好的科学家，等等，但是面对政治的时候，这些优势都显得无能为力。

But we don’t have the best.

我们拥有的，不是最好的。

我替很多美国人感到难过。这个国家有很多问题。“团结”一定是个笑话。

COVID is like global warming, just a wrong thing to be politically polarized around.

冠状病毒就像是全球变暖。美国在政治上呈现两极分化，是错误的。

When you spend 500 billion dollars on the military yet you have a shortage of masks and ventilators...that’s messed up!

你们在军队上面花了5000亿美元，但是你们却缺少口罩和呼吸机……这也太糟糕了！

Shobha Rao
Human greed is the underlying cause of all our problems in each and every country. The USA leads in this respect. Everyone wants to make more money to buy goods that are non-essential. Every human wants to live like a King. So no use blaming corporations. If we stopped consumerism, corporates will die on their own. Live a simple life and save the planet too.

在每个国家，人性的贪婪是我们遇到的所有问题的根源。美国在这方面遥遥领先。人人都想赚钱，买那些本不必要的商品。每个人都想活成国王的样子。所以，谴责企业是没用的。如果我们停止消费，企业它们自己就会消亡。我们就能过上简单的生活，顺便也能拯救地球。

5:26 "We are not prisoners." You would be once the virus hits you. Your body will become prisoner of the machine and medicines and you can''t do anything about it but pray that your body will respond to the medications.

5分26秒的时候，人们大呼“我们不是犯人”。一旦病毒缠上你，你就会成为犯人。你的身体将成为机器和药物的俘虏，对此你却无能为力，只能祈祷药物在你身上能起作用。

“美国现在是冠状病毒的震中。”说实话，大多数美国公民是眼睁睁地看着事情变成这样的。

Quite a few reasons, Trump, wealth based healthcare, morbid obesity, high rate of underlying disease

原因太多了：川普啊，医保产生的财富，美国人病态的肥胖，高度低估的感染率

Bernie Sandres: “Medicare for all !!” DNC and Republicans: “Nope, our funding comes from healthcare insurance companies, we don’t care for public health”

桑德斯：“全民医保”
民主党和共和党：“不要，我们的资金都是来自医保公司，公共卫生，我们才不关心呢”

Because Americans are supper slow, nobody wears a mask, everybody is going to each others houses. People are throwing parties. Now we''re all protesting without masks. And the number climes faster and faster. Americans truly do not care about there neigbors. And I can imagion severely want this to spread

因为美国人的动作超级超级慢，没人戴口罩，每个人都想去别人家。大家都在举办聚会。现在我们全都因为没有口罩在抗议。这个数字还会越来越多。美国人真得不在乎他们的邻居。我非常想这种病毒传播开来。

King Morgan
It''s really simple: 95% of people can''t pay their rent without working 40+ hours per week, if they miss one shift they can''t pay all their bills. So when you come to these people and say "stay home" what you''re actually saying is "lose your job and die starving in the streets."

答案真的很简单：95%的美国人，如果每周不工作四十个小时以上的话，他们就会付不起房租。如果他们上不了班，他们就付不起他们的账单。当你来到这些人面前，跟他们说“待在家里”的时候，实际上是在跟他们说“放弃你们的工作，在大街上饿死吧”。

Comment section: It''s Trump''s fault!! Video: A lot of this has to do with rules and regulations on state and local levels; the federal government is actually powerless in those areas.

评论区：这是川普的错！
视频里：很大部分原因，跟州一级和地方一级的规章制度有关，在这些方面，联邦政府实际上是无能为力的。

Wow! So no government run hospitals? I didn''t knew that I thought every country had government run hospitals you learn something new everyday.

哇哦！所以，美国没有公立的医院？我还不知道这点呢，我以为每个国家都有政府运营的医院。每天你都能学到新东西。

Ben Shelling
I''m so lucky to be Canadian. Every country leader says they have the situation under control, that''s a core part of being a leader and assuring the country the problem can and will be solved. In Canada, Trudeau on numerous occasions said we have the virus under control and we are taking actions to abate further spread, but yet we don''t have a polarized media like the United States has.

很幸运我是个加拿大人。每个国家的领导人都说，现状都在掌控之中。当领导人的一个核心工作，就是确保国家遇到的问题能够被解决掉。在加拿大，特鲁多总理在很多场合都说，病毒蔓延已经被控制了，我们正在采取行动阻止病毒的进一步传播，然而我们没有美国那样两派对立的媒体。

Poor decision by President Trump

川普总统做出的可怜决策

Nathan Rhodes
Belgium, Spain, Italy, France, UK, Sweden, Ireland and the Netherlands all deaths per million 2-3x higher than the US. Moreover, more than half of the US''s deaths are in NY and NY, and more than half of those are in the NYC metro area.

比利时，西班牙、意大利、法国、英国、瑞典、爱尔兰和荷兰的每百万人口死亡率，都比美国高两三倍。此外，美国一半以上的死亡病例，都是在纽约州和纽约，而且其中的一半死亡病例，分布在纽约州的地铁覆盖区域。

Trump has divided America. He plays both sides off against each other. Disgusting and disgraceful

川普分裂了美国。他两边讨好，导致它们互相攻击。既恶心又可耻。

Two words: Donald Trump. Any idiot who encourages their own people to defy orders will be the reason for their downfall. Simply put, they didn''t take it seriously and don''t care.

两个字：川普。任何一个鼓励自己人民违抗命令的白痴，都是他们垮台的原因。简单地讲，他们没有认真对待，也不在乎。

We have a federal system here in germany and our 16 states responded to the virus at different paces aswell - even different cities within the same state have different rules and restrictions. But germany is doing quite well compared to most countries. I think the main reason for americas fall is ignorance and the medival health care system.

我们德国也是联邦制度，我们的十六个州都在以不同的速度对病毒做出反应，要知道，即便是在同一个州的不同城市，它们也有着不同的规则和限制。但跟大多数国家比起来，德国做得相当不错。美国之所以会失败，我认为是由于美国的无知和落后的医疗体系。

If u add Italy , France , Germany and the Uk together and half of Spain .. their total is much higher than the USA in total .. with a similar population count... the Left ... if I farted it’s trumps fault , if I got a puncture it’s trumps fault , if I shat my pants ... u get the point .

如果你把意大利、法国、德国、英国和半个西班牙加在一起，他们的人口规模跟美国差不多……他们的死亡率比美国要高多了……左派认为……如果我放屁了，是川普的错，如果我的轮胎被扎破了，是川普的错，如果我的内裤……这个逻辑，你们是知道的。

The USA still have pretty low numbers.. High is Italy and Spain 407 resp 455 dead/ million, the UK have 261 dead/million USA have 137 dead/million so not a high number so far. The problem is really New York, remove them and the number is around 100 dead/million pretty low internationally

美国的数字还算低的……高的是意大利和西班牙，每百万死亡407至455人，英国每百万死亡261人，美国是137人，到现在为止，这个数字还不算高呀。真正出问题的是纽约，把纽约除去的话，美国每百万死亡人口大约是100人，国际上来看，这个数字是相当低的

When you compare America to the European unx America is not doing so bad America and Italy is not comparable in size of population

当你把比较美国和欧盟的时候，你会发现美国表现得并没有那么差劲。在人口规模方面，意大利是没法跟美国比的。

America''s per capita death toll is far lower than many European nations. Italy has 60 million people, the US has over 350 million. Its idiotic to compare the numbers directly: at best misleading.

美国的平均死亡率，比很多欧洲国家低多了。意大利有6000万人口，美国有3.5亿多人口。直接比较死亡数字是愚蠢的，充其量算是误导。

The problem isn‘t really that states have the authority over public health decisions. It is that these decision makers have taken false decisions. In Germany, states also have the authority about such decisions, but all made sensible decisions

问题不在于各州拥有卫生决策权，问题在于这些决策者做出了错误的决定。在德国，各州也有权做出相关的决定，但是所有的决定都是明智的。

China''s government was strict and disciplined, very quick to punish those who disobeyed the curfew and isolation. Trump is very wishy washy about it. And people still call him a "strong and dependable" leader. Pointing fingers when everything goes wrong.

中国政府很严厉，而且纪律性强，非常迅速地惩罚了那些违反宵禁和隔离的人。川普对此却非常优柔寡断，而且美国人依然称他为“坚强可靠的”领导人。当一切都不对劲的时候，他才开始指指点点。
