主题：华盛顿、俄勒冈和加利福尼亚三邦昨日宣布达成西部互保协定 -- hwd99

2020年4月13日

黄卫东注：此为美国西部三邦昨日达成的互保协议中文译文。美国是联邦制国家，国内翻译美国的州，实际都是经济上高度独立的自治邦，本文都翻译为邦了。显然西部各邦反对美国联邦政府推行的，“群体免疫”，实际就是让新冠病毒清洗美国民众，优胜劣汰，从而淘汰一大批体弱多病穷人的计划。美国确诊超过58万例，但纽约和加利福尼亚却相差很大，纽约确诊19万多，不仅超过美国各邦，而且排名世界第一，而加利福尼亚邦虽然比纽约更早出现新冠病例，仅有2.3万确诊病人，不到纽约八分之一。它们的差别如此巨大，其主要原因，就是采取的措施不一样，纽约放任，而加利福尼亚则有较多封城措施，主要城市都先后封城。

背景

今天，华盛顿邦总统杰伊·因斯利、加利福尼亚邦总统加文·纽瑟姆和俄勒冈邦总统凯特·布朗宣布就重新开放经济和控制COVID-19未来的共同愿景达成协议。

三邦首脑联合声明:

COVID-19利用了我们之间的联系。在接下来的几周里，西海岸将会改变COVID-19的脚本——我们各邦将会紧密合作，确保病毒永远不会在我们的社区中广泛传播。

我们宣布，加利福尼亚邦、俄勒冈邦和华盛顿邦已经同意共同努力，重新开放我们的经济——为社区重新启动公共生活和商业确定明确的指标。

虽然每个邦都在制定具体的邦计划，但我们各邦在制定西海岸框架时都同意以下原则:

我们的居民健康第一。作为六分之一美国人的家园和通往世界其他地方的门户，西海岸在控制并最终击败COVID-19上拥有巨大的股份。

健康结果应由科学——而不是政治——来指导和决定。必须根据我们对COVID-19对健康的总体影响的理解，对我们各邦的居家命令进行修改，包括:疾病对我们社区的直接影响；为控制社区传播而采取的措施对健康的影响——特别是那些在COVID-19之前已经处于社会不利地位的人；以及我们的卫生保健系统确保对那些可能患有COVID-19和其他疾病的人进行护理的能力。这项工作将以数据为指导。在大规模重新开放之前，我们需要看到病毒传播速度的下降，我们将协同工作，确定指导这一工作的最佳指标。

我们的国家只有通过合作才能有效。每个邦都将与其境内的当地领导人和社区合作，了解当地发生的事情，并坚持我们商定的方法。

通过快速果断的行动，我们每个邦都取得了显著的进步，使曲线变平，减缓了COVID-19在更广泛的公众中的传播。现在，我们的公共卫生领导人将集中精力实现四个目标，这四个目标对于未来控制病毒至关重要。

保护易受感染人群，如果被感染，将面临严重疾病的风险。这包括共同努力预防和抗击疗养院和其他长期护理机构的疾病爆发。

确保有能力照顾那些可能患有COVID-19和其他疾病的人。这将需要足够的医院应急能力和个人防护设备。

减轻非直接COVID-19健康影响，特别是对弱势社区的影响。

通过确保成功取消干预来保护公众包括开发一个测试、跟踪和隔离系统。各邦将合作分享最佳实践。

COVID-19没有国界。这需要各级政府通力合作，全面了解当地的情况。

在接下来的几天里，各邦总统们、他们的工作人员和卫生官员们将继续就这一地区恢复协议进行讨论。

Washington, Oregon and California announce Western States Pact

April 13, 2020

Story

Today, Washington Gov. Jay Inslee, California Gov. Gavin Newsom and Oregon Gov. Kate Brown announced an agreement on a shared vision for reopening their economies and controlling COVID-19 into the future.

Joint statement from the governors:

COVID-19 has preyed upon our interconnectedness. In the coming weeks, the West Coast will flip the script on COVID-19 – with our states acting in close coordination and collaboration to ensure the virus can never spread wildly in our communities.

We are announcing that California, Oregon and Washington have agreed to work together on a shared approach for reopening our economies – one that identifies clear indicators for communities to restart public life and business.

While each state is building a state-specific plan, our states have agreed to the following principles as we build out a West Coast framework:

· Our residents’ health comes first. As home to one in six Americans and gateway to the rest of the world, the West Coast has an outsized stake in controlling and ultimately defeating COVID-19.

· Health outcomes and science – not politics - will guide these decisions. Modifications to our states’ stay at home orders must be made based off our understanding of the total health impacts of COVID-19, including: the direct impact of the disease on our communities; the health impact of measures introduced to control the spread in communities —particularly felt by those already experiencing social disadvantage prior to COVID-19; and our health care systems’ ability to ensure care for those who may become sick with COVID-19 and other conditions. This effort will be guided by data. We need to see a decline in the rate of spread of the virus before large-scale reopening, and we will be working in coordination to identify the best metrics to guide this.

· Our states will only be effective by working together. Each state will work with it’s local leaders and communities within its borders to understand what’s happening on the ground and adhere to our agreed upon approach.

Through quick and decisive action, each of our states has made significant progress in flattening the curve and slowing the spread of COVID-19 among the broader public. Now, our public health leaders will focus on four goals that will be critical for controlling the virus in the future.

· Protecting vulnerable populations at risk for severe disease if infected. This includes a concerted effort to prevent and fight outbreaks in nursing homes and other long-term care facilities.

· Ensuring an ability to care for those who may become sick with COVID-19 and other conditions. This will require adequate hospital surge capacity and supplies of personal protective equipment.

· Mitigating the non-direct COVID-19 health impacts, particularly on disadvantaged communities.

· Protecting the general public by ensuring any successful lifting of interventions includes the development of a system for testing, tracking and isolating. The states will work together to share best practices.

COVID-19 doesn’t follow state or national boundaries. It will take every level of government, working together, and a full picture of what’s happening on the ground.

In the coming days the governors, their staff and health officials will continue conversations about this regional pact to recovery.
