比尔·盖茨：距离疫情结束还早美国检测不足

对于美国政府对新冠疫情的应对，盖茨仍然持批评态度。三月份，盖茨曾说过，美国“对疫情反应不够快，错失了避免封锁的机会。”他还指出，特朗普总统决定从世界卫生组织撤资“和听起来一样危险”。

In the interview with “Today”, Gates called out the US government for not ramping up testing for COVID-19 as effectively as other countries.

在《今日》秀的访谈中，盖茨批评美国政府没有像其他国家一样有效加强对新冠肺炎的检测。

ramp up: 增加；使增加

"Many countries decided that at the national level, they would orchestrate the testing” for COVID-19, he said. “That hasn’t happened in the United States. It might not happen. But, you know, the access to tests is just, you know, chaotic.”

他说：“许多国家决定从国家层面统筹安排新冠肺炎检测。但美国不是如此，也可能不会发生。但是，你知道，现在获得检测的渠道很混乱。”

Gates laid out what he believes the US government needs to do to step up testing measures in his blog post on Thursday. These steps include developing COVID-19 tests that can return results in less than a day, as well as providing tests to all health care workers and finding a way for people to take tests in their own homes.
