近日疫情情况：美国新冠单日确诊病例数首次破10万！美联储将利率维持在零左右，经济仍低于疫情发生前的水平

1. 美国周三报告了102,831例确诊病例，这也是第一次全美范围内单日新增病日突破10万例！7天平均每日新增病例也创纪录的达到89,858例。

2. 据CNBC报道：美联储将利率维持在零左右，将经济定性为增长，但称经济仍低于疫情发生前的水平。美联储七个月前将基准利率下调至0%-0.25%之间，并在最近一次会议上重申了这一目标。central bank（中央银行）也发表声明称："经济和就业在持续复苏，但仍远低于年初的水平。"

3. 许多医疗受保人表示，他们愿意接受早期的疫苗、实验性治疗。根据eHealth最近的一项调查，超过半数的医疗受保人表示，望在这个冬天可以获得新冠疫苗。

如果疫苗在未来几个月内获得批准，很可能是指食品和药物管理局（FDA）所谓的紧急使用权。10月，通过了一项联邦法规，允许Medicare完全报销通过该途径批准的接种费用。如果没有其他任何变化，受保人只有在疫苗经过完整和漫长的审批程序后才能获得全面报销。

同时，40%的调查对象表示：如果他们感染了病毒，他们会希望选择使用实验性或未经证实的治疗方法。另有23%的人表示不会，37%的人不确定。

4. 缅因州州长anet Mills宣布了一项新的关于面罩的行政命令，加强了之前已经实施的戴口罩命：要求人们在公共场合戴上口罩/遮面物，无论是否已保持social distance（社会疏远距离）。州长办公室声明，所有室内公共场合必须明显地通知人们必须戴上口罩/遮面物，如果不遵守规定，可以拒绝大家进入。

5. 英国制药商阿斯利康公司预计，其实验性新冠疫苗的数据将在今年年底前获得。阿斯利康在发布最新财报时表示：预计后期试验的结果将在今年晚些时候公布，这取决于临床试验所在社区内的感染率。数据读数将提交给监管机构，并在同行评审的科学期刊上发表。

1. The United States reported 102,831 confirmed cases on Wednesday. This is the first time that the number of new sick days in the United States exceeded 100,000 in a single day! The average daily number of new cases for 7 days also reached a record of 89,858.

2. According to CNBC: The Federal Reserve maintains interest rates at around zero and characterizes the economy as growth, but said the economy is still below the level before the outbreak. The Fed cut its benchmark interest rate to between 0% and 0.25% seven months ago and reiterated this goal at its most recent meeting. The central bank also issued a statement saying: "The economy and employment continue to recover, but it is still far below the level at the beginning of the year."

3. Many Medicare beneficiaries say they are willing to receive early vaccine, experimental treatments. According to a recent eHealth survey, more than half of beneficiaries said they expect to have access to the coronavirus vaccine this winter.

If the vaccine is approved in the next few months, it is likely to refer to what the Food and Drug Administration calls emergency use rights. In October, a federal regulation was passed allowing Medicare to fully cover the cost  of an inoculation sanctioned via that route. If there are no other changes, the insured can only be fully covered after the vaccine has gone through a complete and lengthy approval process.

At the same time, 40% of survey respondents said: If they are infected with the virus, they will want to choose experimental or unproven treatments. Another 23% said no, and 37% were not sure.

4. The Governor of Maine, Anet Mills, announced a new executive order on face masks, which strengthened the previous life of masks: requiring people to wear masks in public, regardless of whether social distance has been maintained or not. The Governor’s Office stated that all indoor public places must clearly inform people that they must wear masks, and that if the regulations are not followed, everyone can be denied entry.

5. British drugmaker AstraZeneca expects that data on its experimental coronavirus vaccine will be available before the end of this year. AstraZeneca said in its latest financial report: It is expected that the results of later trials will be announced later this year, depending on the infection rate in the community where the clinical trials are being conducted. Data readouts will be submitted to regulatory and published in peer-reviewed scientific journals.  source
