One of my sons said to me, 'Mom, if we're quarantined, at least we can still have dinner parties, right?'

这些调动就成了西班牙流感传播的完美推手。
And you may think that it's different if you're just traveling for spring break,
你可能会觉得，你只是出去度个春假而已，没那么夸张，
but really, there isn't any difference between that kind of movement, for the purposes of wartime personnel needs,
但讲真，战时军队调动产生的人口流动
and the movement of people because they want to get to the beach.
和去海滩度假的欲望催生出来的人口流动并没有什么区别。
We don't want to have prolonged contact with other humans in a confined space,
我们可不需要在密闭的空间里和他人长时间接触，
and what's a flight, if not prolonged contact with other humans in a confined space?

这方面其实也有一些降低风险的措施，比如大家可以错峰出行。
If you are able to walk or ride your bike, do that.
能走路上下班就走路上下班，能骑车上下班就骑车上下班。
It probably is safer, from an infection perspective, to drive one's own car, rather than to use public transit, but every public health person hates saying that."
从感染的角度来看，自己开车可能比乘坐公共交通更安全，但公共卫生部门的那些人就是不想承认这一点。”
"How should we approach caring for elderly or at-risk neighbors, or people in our community who might need help?"

“那这一切什么时候才能结束呢？
When will we know that we can stop social distancing?"

"I can't give you a date when it will end.
“具体什么时候结束我也给不了你答案。
It would be good if we could have that date,
如果有那么一天当然会很棒，
because it would be reassuring to people to know that this won't last forever.
因为让大家知道疫情不会一直持续下去，大家也能安心一点。
And it won't last forever, but it's probably going to be an uncomfortably long period of time."
疫情也并不会真的一直持续下去，但可能还是会持续很长很长一段时间。”
"Is there a happy medium between extreme social isolation and just keeping a healthy distance from people?"
“极端的社交隔离和保持安全距离之间有没有什么比较好的折衷办法呢？”

And, be generous not just with our material gifts, but also:
同时，请不要局限于物质馈赠，还请大家：
Truly believe, deep in your heart, that by stepping out of the social realm right now,
也要在内心深处坚信，此时踏出社交圈，
you are doing one of the greatest services you can do to the public's health."
