希腊医生游行宣传戴口罩

 Amber看世界 2021-05-21

Doctors marched with their families and a few friends in Greece's second-largest city Saturday not to protest, but to debunk misinformation about face masks circulating during the coronavirus pandemic.

周六,几位医生和他们的家人还有几个朋友在希腊第二大城市游行,不是为了抗议,而是为了揭穿有关在冠状病毒大流行期间口罩传播的错误信息。

A few dozen people fast-walked and ran 2 kilometers (1.25 miles) through central Thessaloniki while wearing face masks and then measured their oxygen and carbon dioxide levels, finding them all normal.

几十人带着口罩在塞萨洛尼基市中心快速行走并跑了2公里(1.25英里),然后测量了他们的氧气和二氧化碳水平,发现他们都很正常。

Opponents of mandatory face mask use have spread the claim that wearing face coverings makes people short of breath and actually is bad for their health. 

反对强制使用口罩的人散布了这样一种说法,即戴面罩会使人呼吸急促,实际上对健康有害。

Doctors specializing in respiratory medicine wanted to prove them wrong.

呼吸内科专业的医生想要证明他们错了。

“Face masks, alongside social distancing and personal hygiene, are the only measure of protection against the coronavirus,” Dr. Iraklis Titopoulos, a pulmonologist, told The Associated Press after the demonstration in Greece.

“除了保持社会距离和个人卫生外,口罩是预防新冠病毒的唯一措施,”肺部学家伊拉克利斯·蒂托波罗斯博士在希腊游行后告诉美联社说。

“I would never have believed that such a large part of the population would deny the obvious,” he said.

他说:“我简直不敢相信,这么大一部分人居然会否认如此显而易见的事实。”

A lot of individuals with chronic lung obstructions are pressing their doctors to write affidavits that would exempt them from wearing masks, Titopoulos said. Others are asking to be excused from going to work.

蒂托波洛斯说,很多患有慢性肺阻塞的患者都要求医生出具免于戴口罩的证明,而另一些人则要求得到不去上班的借口。

New coronavirus cases, but not deaths, have surged in Greece since early August, with nearly 80% of the country's more than 19,300 confirmed cases reported since then. 

自8月初以来,希腊新增冠状病毒病例激增,但未出现死亡病例,自那时以来,该国报告的确诊病例超过1.93万例,其中近80%为新冠病毒病例。

With the summer tourism season now over, authorities say people not wearing masks and failing to keep social distancing are to blame for the surge.

随着夏季旅游季节的结束,当局表示,人们没有戴口罩和没有保持社交距离是造成感染人数激增的原因。

Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis said Saturday that while local lockdowns will be used to keep the coronavirus from spreading, a second nationwide lockdown is “almost inconceivable.” 

希腊总理米佐塔基斯星期六说,虽然将利用地方封锁来防止冠状病毒传播,但第二次全国封锁“几乎不可想象”。

At the same time, he said he expected “a very difficult three to four months” ahead.

与此同时,他预计未来“三到四个月将非常艰难”。
