The coronavirus pandemic could kill up to 200,000 Americans and millions more could be infected, the US government's leading expert has warned.
美国政府首席专家正告说，新冠肺炎疫情或许会引起多达20万美国人逝世，数百万人感染。
Dr Anthony Fauci, the face of the Trump administration's coronavirus task force, made the prediction on Sunday.
美国政府新冠肺炎特别工作组首席专家安东尼·福奇博士在上星期日（3月29日）做出了这一猜测。
"Looking at what we're seeing now, I would say between 100,000 and 200,000 deaths," he told CNN.
“依据咱们现在所看到的，我以为会有10万到20万人逝世，”他告知美国有线电视新闻网。
But he quickly urged caution. "It's such a moving target," he said.
不过，他很快敦促人们坚持慎重。他说：“这一数字存在变数。”
Dr Fauci added that the US, which now has the most recorded cases of the virus in the world, was the "focus" of the global outbreak.
福奇博士弥补说，美国现在是全球新冠肺炎确诊病例最多的国家，是全球新冠肺炎疫情的“焦点”。
"We've got a serious problem in New York, we have a serious problem in New Orleans, and we're going to be developing serious problems in other areas," he said.
他说：“纽约和新奥尔良疫情都很严峻，美国其他地区的状况也或许会恶化。”
"I want to see that tests are being implemented on the ground," he added. "If we can do that... then I think we can pull back on some of the restrictions."
他弥补说：“我期望看到人们得到病毒检测。假如咱们能做到这一点……那么我以为咱们咱们能够撤销一些约束办法。”
来看看福奇是怎样说的：
here are at least 125,433 confirmed cases across the country, with 2,201 deaths. The United States overtook both China and Italy last week for the number of reported cases.
美国确诊病例已达12万5433例，逝世病例到达2201例。上星期，美国的确诊病例数量超越了我国和意大利。
But its death toll remains lower than that in other global hotspots, such as Italy, Spain and China.
但其逝世人数仍低于意大利、西班牙和我国等其他全球疫情热门国家和地区。
美国疫情最新发展
Dr Fauci's prediction came as cities across the country warned that they may soon run out of key medical supplies. Detroit, New York, and New Orleans have all sounded the alarm.
在福奇博士做出这一猜测的一起，美国各地的城市都正告说，要害的医疗用品行将耗尽。底特律、纽约和新奥尔良都敲响了警钟。
"We have nurses wearing the same mask from the beginning of their shift until the end, masks that are supposed to [be used] for one patient," Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer told CNN.
密歇根州州长格雷琴·惠特默告知美国有线电视新闻网：“咱们的护理从开端值勤到下班都戴着同一个口罩，招待其他病人时本来应该替换口罩。”
A major concern among health professionals is the number of available ventilators. Demand has surged as the virus has spread, and a number of states have warned that they will soon run out.

特朗普总统发推文说，美国疾病操控与防备中心将对纽约州、新泽西州和康涅狄格州发布“强有力的游览正告”，而非阻隔办法。
