新冠肺炎：英国新增病例创记录，惠蒂警告称更糟糕的情况还在后头
（克里斯·惠蒂12月15日在唐宁街举办的媒体简报会讲话。）
新闻：
The UK has recorded the highest number of daily Covid-19 cases since the beginning of the pandemic, with 78,610 reported on Wednesday.
The previous record was 68,053 on 8 January - when the UK was in lockdown.
Speaking at a news conference, England's chief medical officer Prof Chris Whitty warned that records will be broken a lot in the next few weeks.
英国周三报告了78610例新冠肺炎新增病例，创下了疫情爆发以来的最高单日确诊病例数。
此前的纪录是1月8日英国封锁期间的68053人。
在新闻发布会上，英格兰首席医疗官克里斯·惠蒂教授警告说，在未来几周内，这一记录还会被多次打破。

He added people should prioritise what matters with regards to social mixing in the run-up to Christmas.
Speaking alongside Prof Whitty, Prime Minister Boris Johnson said it was "absolutely vital" that everyone gets a booster jab.
他补充说，在圣诞前夕，人们应该优先考虑与社交活动有关的事情。
英国首相鲍里斯·约翰逊与惠蒂教授一起发表讲话，他说，所有人都接种加强针“绝对至关重要”。

He warned that in some areas the doubling rate for cases was now under two days, adding: "I'm afraid we're also seeing the inevitable increase in hospitalisations up by 10% nationally, week-on-week, and up by almost a third in London."
Prof Whitty said the country was experiencing two separate epidemics, one driven by the "very rapidly-growing" Omicron variant and the other by the Delta variant.
他警告说，在一些地区，病例翻倍的时间现在已经不到两天，他补充说：“我担心，我们还将不可避免地看到全国住院人数每周增加10%，伦敦增加近三分之一。”
惠蒂教授表示，英国正在经历两种不同的疫情，一种是由“增长非常迅速”的奥密克戎变体驱动的，另一种是由德尔塔变体驱动的。

"I'm afraid we have to be realistic that records will be broken a lot over the next few weeks as the rates continue to go up," he added.
Asked whether people should be going to Christmas or New Year parties, Prof Whitty: "Don't mix with people you don't have to.
他补充说：“我担心，我们必须面对现实，随着感染速度继续上升，未来几周将多次打破这一纪录。”
当被问及人们应该去参加圣诞派对还是新年派对时，惠蒂教授说：“不要和不必要的人聚在一起。

"[You] don't need a medical degree to realise that is a sensible thing to do with an incredibly infectious virus."
He encouraged people to take tests before visiting vulnerable people and to meet in areas of good ventilation or outdoors if possible.
“（你）不需要一个医学学位就能意识到，面对一种传染性极强的病毒，这么做是明智的。”
他鼓励人们在走访虚弱人群之前进行检测，并尽可能在通风良好的地方或户外会面。

The prime minister said the government was not cancelling Christmas events by restricting gatherings or closing pubs and restaurants, but cautioned people to think carefully about the socialising they did.
He said: "I said many times that I thought that this Christmas will be considerably better than last Christmas, and I stick to that."
首相说，政府不会通过限制聚会或关闭酒吧和餐馆来取消圣诞活动，但他警告人们要谨慎对待自己的社交活动。
他说：“我说过很多次，我认为今年的圣诞节会比去年好很多，我坚持这一点。”

Questions about whether restrictions should be introduced are going to grow the more cases rise.
That is understandable. But it is also important to remember restrictions don't stop the epidemic - they just prolong it.
They can be used to buy you time. Last winter the lockdown allowed the rollout of vaccines.
With more than 80% of the most vulnerable boosted the benefits of a lockdown are much lower this time.
随着病例增多，是否应该引入限制措施的问题也越来越多。
这是可以理解的。但同样重要的是要记住，限制并不能阻止疫情——这些措施只是延缓了疫情。
它们可以用来为你争取时间。去年冬天的封锁使得疫苗得以推出。
但由于超过80%的最脆弱人群已经接种了加强针，所以这一次封锁的好处要低得多。

The costs, however, are the same, perhaps greater considering what people have endured so far in terms of the harm to jobs, mental health and education.
What would change the equation significantly is if the NHS is going to be overwhelmed, which would deny people basic life-saving care.
然而，代价是一样的，考虑到人们迄今为止所承受的对工作、心理健康和教育的伤害，代价可会能更大。
如果国家医疗体系不堪重负，将会使人们得不到基本的救生护理，这将会极大地改变这个等式。

Clearly the NHS is struggling, doctors are pointing out care is suffering, but the situation is very different from last winter when over a third of beds were occupied by Covid patients.
Will that happen again? The modelling released so far is unclear as there is so much uncertainty.
Hospital cases could peak at half the level of last winter under the best-case scenario, or approaching double in the worst.
显然，国家医疗体系正在苦苦挣扎，医生们指出护理正在遭受痛苦，但情况与去年冬天有很大不同，当时超过三分之一的床位被新冠患者占据。
这种情况还会重演吗？目前发布的模型还不清楚，因为有太多的不确定性。
在最好的情况下，住院病例可能达到去年冬天水平的一半，在最坏的情况下可能达到两倍。

Prof Whitty also urged "really serious caution" over reports a reduction in hospitalisations was being seen in cases of Omicron in South Africa.
He said the threat of the NHS being overwhelmed was very serious because of the "absolutely phenomenal pace" at which Omicron was spreading.
惠蒂教授还敦促，对于南非奥密克戎病例住院率下降的报道，要“非常严肃地注意”。
他表示，由于奥密克戎的传播速度“绝对惊人”，英国国家医疗服务体系不堪负荷的威胁非常严重。

"I am afraid there will be an increasing number of Omicron patients going into the NHS, going into hospital, going into intensive cares," he said. "That will begin to become apparent, in my view, fairly soon after Christmas."
“我担心会有越来越多的奥密克戎患者进入国家医疗体系，进入医院，进入重症监护，”他说。“在我看来，这一点将在圣诞节后不久开始变得明显。”

Cases have risen by nearly 20,000 in one day - on Tuesday, 59,610 confirmed cases were confirmed by the government. Hospital admissions tend to lag about two weeks behind cases.
The jump in cases follows the introduction of new measures in recent days, with mandatory face masks in most indoor settings and Covid passes for large events in England.
病例在一天内增加了近2万例——周二，政府确认了59610例确诊病例。住院人数（激增）往往比病例出现晚两周左右。
最近几天，英国出台了新措施，在大多数室内环境中强制佩戴口罩，在英国的大型活动中使用新冠通行证。

The message from England's top doctor was clear. He was at pains to repeat it several times: in the run-up to Christmas, stay at home unless it really matters.
His language about "prioritising" or "de-prioritising" events might have been less blunt. But under repeated questioning that was the clear implication.
来自英国顶级医生的信息很明确。他多次努力重复这句话：在圣诞节前夕，除非真的有大事，否则就呆在家里。
他关于“优先”或“不优先”事件的措辞可能不会那么直白。但经过反复追问，这是明显的暗示。

That's not, though, a message the prime minister was willing, or perhaps able, to repeat.
The political pressure on him not to introduce more restrictions is intense after 100 of his backbenchers stuck two fingers up at him on Tuesday night by voting against part of his pandemic plan.
But Prof Whitty's message will likely be heard loud and clear: what we all do in the next few days and weeks will make a difference to how fast the pandemic spreads.
然而，这并不是首相愿意或可能能够重复的信息。
周二晚上，100名后座议员投票反对他的部分疫情防控计划，对他施加了巨大的政治压力，要求他不要出台更多限制措施。
但人们可能会响亮而清晰地听到惠蒂教授的信息：我们在未来几天和几周所做的一切，将对疫情传播的速度产生影响。

At the news conference, the prime minister said the government was taking the right approach currently, after being asked if more restrictions were needed given the case numbers.
Mr Johnson explained the Plan B measures and the booster campaign were a "double strategy" and vaccines were a "tool we didn't have a year ago".
在新闻发布会上，在被问及鉴于病例数量是否需要更多限制后，首相表示政府目前采取了正确的做法。
约翰逊先生解释说，B计划措施和加强针运动是一个“双重战略”，而且疫苗也是“我们一年前不具有的工具”。

Wednesday's daily figures also showed the UK gave out 656,711 booster or third doses of a vaccine - up by over 140,000 on the day before.
There were 165 deaths of people who tested positive for Covid in the previous 28 days.
周三的每日数据还显示，英国注射了656711剂加强疫苗或第三剂疫苗，比前一天增加了超过14万剂。
在过去的28天里，有165人死亡后检测出了阳性。

Concerns over the speed at which the Omicron variant is spreading in the UK have also been expressed by health officials.
The head of the UK Health Security Agency, Dr Jenny Harries, warned Omicron was "probably the most significant threat" since the pandemic began.
And the chief executive of NHS England said Wednesday's case numbers "should worry all of us".
卫生官员也表达了对奥密克戎变体在英国传播速度的担忧。
英国卫生安全局局长珍妮·哈里斯博士警告称，自疫情开始以来，奥密克戎“可能是最重大的威胁”。

Amanda Pritchard told the House of Commons Public Accounts Committee: "That is a stark reminder of why the current national mission to get Covid vaccination is the right one."
The Scottish government have advised people to limit socialising to three households at a time in the run-up to Christmas, as well as warning more restrictions could be needed.
阿曼达·普里查德对下议院公共账目委员会表示：“这是一个鲜明的提醒，为什么目前的国家接种新冠疫苗的使命是正确的。”
苏格兰政府建议人们在圣诞节前将社交活动限制在3户以内，并警告称可能需要更多的限制措施。

Similarly, people in Wales have been told additional measures cannot be ruled out over Christmas, while the health officials in Northern Ireland have said re-introducing restrictions may be needed to cope with rising Covid cases.
同样，威尔士人被告知不能排除圣诞节期间采取额外措施的可能性，而北爱尔兰的卫生官员表示，可能需要重新引入限制措施，以应对不断增加的新冠肺炎病例。

My dad works at a police call center in central London (biggest one). They have a massive open floor setup, they've been moving operators around to make sure there's at least 6 feet between desks and windows permanent opened.
My dad caught it somehow and within 7 days of him testing positive, they had 81 people from his floor also testing positive. Not sure who was the spreader but yeah, this shit spreads super easy.
He quarantined in the spare room at home, literally didn't leave except to use the toilet, we made sure no one touched anything he touched without gloves/spray. Within a week, we were all positive. Fortunately no major symptoms except for a bit of a fever and major fatigue but the after effects fucking suck.
I've just turned 30, quite sporty, gym 3 times a week etc. Can't even walk up 14 stairs now without having to stand there gasping for air. Would not wish it on anyone.
我父亲在伦敦市中心的一个警察呼叫中心（最大的一个）工作。他们有一个巨大的开放式场所设置，他们一直在调动工作人员，以确保办公桌和窗户之间至少有6英尺的距离。
我父亲不知怎么的染上了这种病，在他检测出阳性的7天内，他所在楼层的81人也检测出了阳性。不知道谁是散播者，但没错，这玩意很容易传播。
他被隔离在家里的空余房间里，除了上厕所，他几乎没有离开过，我们确保没有人在不戴手套/喷雾的情况下碰过他碰过的任何东西。一周之内，我们都很乐观。幸运的是，除了一点发烧和严重的疲劳，没有什么严重的症状，但后遗症太糟糕了。
我刚满30岁，很喜欢运动，每周去健身房3次，等等。现在连上14级楼梯都得站在那里喘口气。我不希望这种事发生在任何人身上。

78,000 new cases, compared to 59,000 yesterday and 51,000 on the same day last week. This is the first day of seeing an impact from Omicron, goodness knows what we'll see next week. By the way, the official case numbers do not include reinfections, if you've had Covid before your new case does not show up in the daily total. Previously this didn't make a big difference but with the emergence of Omicron, where reinfection is much more likely, we really need to change this.
Only positive is the booster push is having a significant impact, with 650,000 given yesterday. Our previous best was 500,000. (Well short of the target but a worthwhile increase, we'll see how it tracks over the next few days.)
What truly matters is hospitalisation numbers. We'll get the earliest indication of how much impact Omicron is going to have by looking at London, where it makes up the highest proportion of cases. Hospitalisations lag behind case numbers as it takes time for people to get sick, it will be a few more days before we start to get an idea of how this is going to go. (Today's case numbers for London are 19,000, compared to 7,000 this time last week.)
新增病例为7.8万例，而昨天为5.9万例，上周同一天为5.1万例。这是看到来自奥密克戎的影响的第一天，天知道我们下周还会看到什么。顺便说一下，官方病例数字不包括再感染，如果你在之前感染过新冠，那你的再次感染就不会出现在每日总数中。以前这并没有什么大的不同，但随着奥密克戎的出现，再次感染的可能性更大了，我们真的需要改变这一点。
唯一积极的是加强针的推动产生了显著的影响，昨天注射了65万剂。我们之前的最好成绩是50万剂。（虽然远未达到目标，但这是值得的增长，我们将在未来几天看到它的走势。）
真正重要的是住院人数。通过观察伦敦，我们将最早得知奥密克戎将产生多大影响，因为伦敦的病例比例最高。住院治疗滞后于病例数量激增，因为人们需要过一段时间才会发病，我们还需要几天时间才能开始了解情况将如何发展。（伦敦今天的新增病例数量为1.9万例，而上周这个时候为7000例。）

What really pisses me off is all the idiots saying that there's been no hospitalisations so this must be a mild variants. A few news outlets incorrectly reported this and now they all parrot that sentiment. The real answer is we don't know yet.
真正让我生气的是那些白痴说他们没有住院，所以这一定只是轻度变异。一些新闻媒体错误地报道了这一点，现在他们都在鹦鹉学舌。但真正的答案是我们还不知道。

It's really difficult to tell whether if it's genuinely milder or not. South Africa is seeing a lower number of hospitalisations compared to the same point in their Delta wave, but that could be because far more people there have a degree of prior immunity from their previous infections. London hospitalisations will give us a far clearer picture of how a country with our vaccination level and demographics is affected, the average age in the UK is much higher than in South Africa.
真的很难判断这种变体是否真的更温和。与德尔塔疫情同期相比，南非的住院人数有所减少，但这可能是因为那里有更多的人因为之前的感染有了一定程度的免疫力。伦敦的住院人数将让我们更清楚地了解一个像我们这样的疫苗接种水平和人口结构的国家是如何受到影响的，英国的平均年龄比南非要高得多。

The recent yougov polling for covid restrictions is interesting. It looks like on the whole the majority still support the restrictions, which is surprising to me. Will people really tolerate another period of tier 4 or lockdown?
舆观最近针对疫情限制措施的民意调查很有趣。看起来大多数人仍然支持限制，这让我很惊讶。人们真的能忍受另一段时间的四级或一级防范封锁吗？

I don't think we'll see another true lockdown. The most vulnerable have been offered boosters and lateral flow tests are a good tool to use before socialising (but, the larger the event the less effective they are). I'd hope we can be flexible enough to respond to the situation we find ourselves in, and the greater the pressure on health services the more tolerant we can be of restrictions. For me the question is how can we get the most value from restrictions while having the least impact on peoples' lives? If we do restrict hospitality then staff and businesses need to be supported.
We're probably going to see a lot of public events cancelled anyway, whether there are restrictions or not. Some theatre productions have already been suspended because the cast have come down with Covid, the same is going to happen with sports teams. Estimates are that a million people are going to be self-isolating by Christmas with Covid, I'm afraid it's not going to be a normal Christmas for many people.
我不认为我们会看到另一场真正的封锁。最脆弱的人已经注射了加强针，并且横向流动检测是社交活动前的一个很好的工具（但是，活动强度越大，效果越差）。我希望我们能足够灵活地应对我们所处的情况，对医疗服务的压力越大，我们对限制就越宽容。对我来说，问题是我们如何才能从限制中获得最大的价值，同时对人们的生活产生最小的影响？如果我们限制招待聚会，那么员工和企业需要得到支持。
不管有没有限制，我们可能会看到很多公共活动被取消。一些戏剧作品已经被暂停，因为演员们感染了新冠肺炎，体育团队也会发生同样的事情。据估计，到圣诞节时，将有100万人因新冠病毒而自我隔离，我担心对许多人来说，这将不是一个正常的圣诞节。

If omicron puts a big strain on the NHS then yeah I'd support a lockdown. But at the moment the data seems to suggest the vast, vast majority of people who get it will just have cold symptoms and be mostly okay - much milder than delta. I suppose only time will tell but so far things look somewhat promising.
It also looks like a lockdown wouldn't do much at this point. Omicron is so infectious that we'd be past the peak and coming back down in cases before lockdown has a chance to curb things.
如果奥密克戎给国家医疗体系带来很大压力，那我支持封锁，但目前的数据似乎表明，绝大多数感染此病的人只会有感冒症状，大部分情况还好——比德尔塔症状要轻得多。我想只有时间会告诉我们答案，但到目前为止，事情看起来有点希望。
现在看来封锁也没什么用，奥密克戎的传染性很强，在封锁有机会遏制事态之前，我们的病例数已经过了高峰，并开始回落了。

And yet no one seems to care, I still see many many people without masks indoors. Apathy will kill many this winter.
Edit: vaccines don't negate the need for mask wearing, immunocompromised folk can still die even with vaccines, bed blocking will kill non-covid patients.
然而似乎没有人在意，我仍然看到很多很多人在室内没有戴口罩。冷漠将在这个冬天杀死许多人。
PS：疫苗并不能消除戴口罩的必要性，免疫功能低下的人即使接种了疫苗仍然可能死亡，占据床位会杀死非新冠病人。

Honestly the numbers are not that big a surprise because pre-Omicron they were already up there, its just there was too much attention being given to the state of things in parts of Europe (i.e. Germany who we were not far behind at the time)
老实说，这些数字并不令人惊讶，因为在奥密克戎之前，它们就已经在那里了，只是欧洲部分地区的情况被给予了太多的关注（比如德国，我们当时的数字也落后不了多少）。

He has fucked things up again!
He is treating COVID the way I treat a dropped fizzy drink;
Open it up a little to let it get all agitated, let it rise. Then when it overflows, wash all the sticky blood off my hands and carry on giving fat contracts to my mates.
约翰逊又把事情搞砸了！
他对待疫情的方式就像我对待掉在地上的碳酸饮料：
把它打开一点点，让它泛起泡沫。然后当它溢出时，洗掉我手上所有的粘稠的血，继续给我的伙伴们丰润的合同。

2 days ago this sub was saying that the media and goverenment are fearmongering, that Omicron is mild and nothing to worry about, and the government had better not introduce restrictions.
Now when the predicted case rises are happening, all the top comments are (rightly) criticising goverenment inaction.
Where did you go 'media hysteria' people? You deserve the stupid incompetent government you have.
2天前这个版块说媒体和政府在散布恐慌，说奥密克戎很温和，没什么可担心的，政府最好不要出台限制。
现在，当预期的病例增加发生时，所有的最高赞评论又都（正确地）批评政府的不作为了。
你们这些“媒体歇斯底里”的人去哪了？你们活该有一个愚蠢无能的政府。

Honestly with the infectivity of Omicron, I'm not super sure what could have been done here. It honestly seems like if a national lockdown had been called after the first case was found, it still would have risen dramatically.
老实说，鉴于奥密克戎的传染性，我不太确定这里能做什么。老实说，就算在发现第一个病例后就下令全国封锁，疫情仍然会急剧上升的。

Even if you take omicron out of the equation, there was going to be a rise in infections in the winter months because that is what happens with respiratory viruses.
What he could have done was started the WFH and masks order at the beginning of November, at least. He always leaves it too late to make any kind of hard decision.
Instead we now have a prime minister who probably should call a lockdown, but won't because his party will hang him out to dry if he does.
即使你把欧米克隆从等式中去掉，在冬季的几个月里感染也一样会增加，因为这就是呼吸道病毒发生的机制。
约翰逊本来可以做的是至少在11月初开始在家办公和实施口罩强制令。他总是拖到做任何艰难决定都为时已晚时。
相反，我们现在有了一位可能应该下令封锁的首相，但他不会这么做，因为如果他这么做了，他的政党就会把他晾在一边。

I am a bit shocked that Johnson can't even bring himself to at least advice people to avoid social gatherings before Christmas. Instead he is standing there waffling something about how this Christmas is going to be better than last Christmas.
让我感到有点震惊的是，约翰逊甚至连建议人们在圣诞节前避免社交聚会都做不到。相反，他站在那里喋喋不休地说，今年的圣诞节将会比去年的圣诞节更好。

Let’s look at the positives here, lots of people getting antibodies by getting the virus and also by getting the shot. Reports of milder symptoms. Much rather get this one than delta. If Omicron replaces delta then surely it’ll be better for the nhs.
让我们看看积极的一面，很多人通过感染病毒和注射疫苗获得了抗体。报告的症状很轻微。更愿意得这个而不是德尔塔。如果奥密克戎取代了德尔塔，那肯定对国家医疗体系更好。

Not if the numbers are considerably higher. If omicron causes half the hospitalisation but it infects 4x faster - you’ll effectively have double the hospitalisations that delta had. And tbh it seems to be the case. This thing has only been around couple of weeks and we already reached numbers never seen before
但如果病例数字高得多就不是了。如果奥密克戎导致了一半的住院治疗，但它的感染速度是德尔塔的4倍，那么你的住院率实际上是德尔塔的两倍。事实似乎确实如此。这只发生了几周，我们就已经达到了前所未有的数量

It’s currently absurd. I’m not exaggerating at all when I say that 75+% of people that I know in London either have covid or have a suspiciously similar to covid illness that lateral flow tests aren’t picking up as covid. Everybody is ill.
目前的情况是荒谬的。我毫不夸张地说，我在伦敦认识的75%以上的人要么患有新冠病毒，要么患有疑似类似于新冠病毒的疾病，但横向流动监测没有发现新冠病毒。每个人都病了。

If it’s so transmissible then everyone will get it, thus meaning herd immunity is finally developed until another variant comes along.
如果它的传染性如此之大，那么每个人都会感染它，这意味着最终将形成群体免疫，直到另一种变体出现。
