Sreenivasan: For more about Florida's response, I spoke with Ben Conarck, who covers health care for the Miami Herald earlier today. Ben, where is Florida now in responding to the surge in coronavirus cases?

Ben: I think it's really kind of...we're starting to see the state respond now. A lot of their response earlier was focused on nursing homes, protecting the elderly and, you know, focused on reopening. And we did a project here at the Miami Herald that looked at what we could see in the data as the state was reopening. And what we found was that we didn't really meet these criteria that the C.D.C. Recommended when we reopened. Public health experts were concerned at the time. And then there was a month or so where it was pretty muted, I would say, as far as the case numbers down here in south Florida...we always had a lot. But in other parts of the state, it was pretty quiet until very recently.

Sreenivasan: You're in Miami-Dade county. Fourth of july is coming up. What are the plans?

Ben: Well, the county mayor here just announced that they are going to be closing all the beaches for july 4th weekend. So, everyone found that out late last night. That was after a dramatic increase in the case numbers statewide. We saw nearly 9,000 cases yesterday, which was...dwarfs anything we had seen before that. So, there was a lot of tension that had been building up over the last week. We were seeing these cases jump, and everyone was kind of wondering how bad it was going to get. We still don't know that. You know, the numbers we saw yesterday, the numbers we saw the day before that really reflect infections that started affecting people, you know, a week or more ago. You don't only have the lag for getting a test result, but then you have a lag when the state process that...processes that test result. So, you really have to look at it one week at a time, and the last week was certainly an alarming one.

Sreenivasan: And how easy is it to get the information from the health department or the state? How transparent is the process? How kind of real-time are you accessing all the numbers in Florida?

Ben: Yes, so I wouldn't, you know, I wouldn't speak for all journalists, but I think I can speak for most journalists when I say it's been a frustrating experience getting information from the health department and the governor's office. Our newspaper, the Miami Herald, has had to sue the state to get information on nursing homes, and we, you know, we were able to succeed with that. So, it's...it's been an ongoing process. Now, the state does release a lot of data, but that shifts around. It's always a moving target. And...and when the metrics start to look bad, we're told to focus on something else, so...

Sreenivasan: And now, at the same time, Miami-Dade county is seeing an increase in west Nile Virus cases, as well?

Ben: Yeah. That is...you know, that's not uncommon down here, but that is absolutely concerning. I mean, mosquitoes are very omnipresent in Miami. There's been zika down here before. We're seeing Dengue already down in the keys. This is a tropical climate and there are a lot of infectious diseases here. And, you know, that also brings me to hurricanes. We're entering hurricane season, which is always, you know, even in...in a normal year, it's a challenge for Florida. And Florida has gotten really good at preparing and responding to hurricanes, but we've never done it during a pandemic. Or, I guess we have, like a century ago, but it's been a while. So, that's going to be...it's going to be interesting to see. And I think it's a concern for a lot of public health experts that, given how much transmission there is, you know, sheltering people in gyms, in close, confined places could be really bad.

Sreenivasan: All right, Ben conarck from the Miami Herald, thanks so much.

Ben: Thanks for having me.

斯里尼瓦桑:为了了解佛罗里达州的应对措施,我采访了《迈阿密先驱报》的卫生保健记者本·康纳克FrRCA[p!xF。本,佛罗里达目前应对冠状病毒病例激增的进展如何?

本:我想有些……目前该州已经开始采取措施nu.T&M]Pjb&U%。之前该州的应对措施主要集中在养老院、保护老年人,还有,你知道,集中在重新开放a,rl@u~a3jL_Jsq5。我们《迈阿密先驱报》做了一个项目,看看该州重新开放时的数据,我们发现该州并没有真正达到疾病控制与预防中心建议的重新开放标准,公共卫生专家此前对此表示担忧NzQnlie[BqWbbpl0R。之后大概一个月左右的时间情况比较稳定,我想说的是,就南佛罗里达的感染人数来说的话……一直很多,不过在该州的其他地区,直到最近情况才比较稳定_2o34HN|7|nbN[K

斯里尼瓦桑:你在迈阿密戴德县,7月4日就要到了,计划是什么呢?

本:这里的县长刚刚宣布他们将在7月4日周末关闭所有的海滩,所以,昨天深夜的时候大家都知道了,这是在整个州的感染数量急剧增加之后的措施e^BtW+Tz5%Yq。昨天增加了近9000例感染病例,比之前任何时候都要多v*&xb)BTCxZzU[3LBlZn。所以,过去一周的氛围又变得紧张起来01Q@zVNe2HK(t,1iz。我们看到感染人数在不断增加,大家都想知道情况会变得多糟糕,目前还不清楚V*zbIpd0!z)5d,5#!。你知道,我们昨天看到的数字以及我们前天看到的数字真正反映了感染开始影响人们,你知道,在一周或更久之前FuTG_kvljwES6gF。所以,不仅我们获取测试结果会有延迟,该州在处理测试结果上也会有延迟r4%EdL-4Q82V]#g。所以,你必须每周都看一次,过去的一周无疑是令人担忧的一周d[+6aprtV&3~3I

斯里尼瓦桑:从卫生部门或者州政府获取信息的便利程度如何?该过程的透明程度如何?你在访问佛罗里达州所有的电话时实时情况是怎么的?

本:是的,我无法代表所有的记者,但是我想我可以代表大多数的记者,我想说的是,从卫生部门和州长办公室获取信息的过程令人沮丧tM7(ZS#@o]%1。我们报,《迈阿密先驱报》不得不通过起诉州政府的方式来获取养老院的信息,你知道,我们成功地做到了这一点Ngf!70&hyeL01N[4bc。所以,这是一个持续不断的过程YilD]5mf=7gYUw。目前,州政府确实发布了很多数据,但是数据在变化BD4oUBCmLD)CG2P+Z*ej。数据一直在改变,当指标开始变得糟糕的时候,我们就被告知要转移关注点,所以……

斯里尼瓦桑:现在,与此同时,迈阿密戴德县的西尼罗河病毒的病例也在增加是吗?
