【双语学习】特朗普感染新冠，仍要出席公众活动？

在美国大选仅剩不到一个月的关键时期，总统特朗普于10月2日被确诊感染新冠病毒，这可谓给本就跌宕起伏的“大选风云”剧情再添迷雾。本以为特朗普会因此暂时隔离修养一段时间，没想到他不顾舆论谴责多次外出，近日更是发推声称将出席公众活动。

特朗普总统计划在美国时间10月12日（周一）——也就是在宣布他的COVID-19诊断结果12天后，恢复他的竞选行程，他还将于周六在白宫南草坪阳台上对户外人群发表讲话。他在推特上说，周一他将在佛罗里达州的桑福德参加一个“非常大的集会”。

一名白宫官员证实，特朗普预计将于周六结合保守派组织“脱欧”举行的一项活动，就“法律与秩序”发表讲话。特朗普的支持者——活动家坎迪斯·欧文斯领导着这个组织，他们已经邀请数百人参加此项活动。

目前最关键的就是特朗普的身体状况。他和医生至今还没有就他上一次做COVID-19检测呈阴性的时间做出回应，也没有说他在接受治疗后是否变为阴性。白宫发言人艾莉莎·法拉赫（Alyssa Farah）上周五表示，她不清楚特朗普最近是否接受过检查，亦或他目前是否呈阴性。

白宫周四公布了一份来自特朗普医生的备忘录，称他相信总统最快将能在周六重返“公共活动”。备忘录发布没多久，特朗普对福克斯新闻的肖恩·汉尼蒂说，他准备好重新举行集会。“如果我们有足够的时间，我想在周六晚上举行一次集会，可能在佛罗里达州，这是令人难以置信的事情。我感觉好极了。”

内科医生肖恩·康利博士说，“特朗普已经按照医生团队开出的处方完成了COVID-19的治疗过程。”根据康利此前的报告，特朗普接受了瑞格龙公司研发的实验性抗体药物；康利说，截至周四晚上，特朗普的心率为每分钟69次，血压为127/81，呼吸频率为每分钟15-17次，脉搏血氧饱和度为96-98%。 “自从回家后，他的身体状况一直很稳定，没有任何迹象表明病情在恶化。”总的来说，他的治疗反应非常好，没有检查不良治疗效果的证据。”

President Trump plans to resume campaign travel on Monday, 12 days after his COVID-19 diagnosis was announced, and he'll also be addressing an outdoor crowd from the South Lawn balcony of the White House on Saturday.

He tweeted that he'll be in Sanford, Florida, for a "very BIG RALLY" on Monday.

On Saturday, Mr. Trump is expected to make remarks on "law and order" in conjunction with an event that was already slated to take place with the conservative group Blexit, a White House official confirmed. Trump supporter and activist Candace Owens leads the group. A White House official says hundreds have been invited.

Mr. Trump had said earlier he planned to hold a rally in Florida on Saturday, followed by another in Pennsylvania on Sunday. But it now appears he will remain at the White House through the weekend.

Mr. Trump and his physicians have so far not answered when he last tested negative for COVID-19 and have not said if he's tested negative again following his treatment. White House spokesperson Alyssa Farah said on Friday that she did not have an answer on whether he has been tested recently or if he is currently negative.

The White House on Thursday released a memo from Mr. Trump's physician saying that he believed the president will be able to return to "public engagements" as soon as Saturday. Hours after the memo was released, Mr. Trump told Fox News' Sean Hannity he was ready to get back to holding rallies.

"I think I'm gonna try doing a rally on Saturday night if we have enough time to put it together — but we wanna do a rally, probably in Florida on Saturday night," the president said. "We might come back and do one in Pennsylvania the following night, and it's incredible what's going on. I feel so good."  

Dr. Sean Conley, the president's physician, said Mr. Trump had "completed his course of therapy for COVID-19 as prescribed by his team of physicians." According to previous reports from Conley, Mr. Trump has been treated with an experimental antibody cocktail developed by the company Regeneron; dexamethasone, a powerful steroid recommended for use in severe cases of COVID-19; and supplemental oxygen before he was hospitalized.

As of Thursday evening, Conley said Mr. Trump had a heart rate of 69 beats per minute, blood pressure of 127/81, a respiratory rate of 15-17 breaths per minute and a pulse oximetry rate of 96-98%.

"Since returning home, his physical exam has remained stable and devoid of any indications to suggest progression of illness," Conley said. "Overall he's responded extremely well to treatment, without evidence on examination of adverse therapeutic effects."
