Amy Peikoff: 我认为这次疫情是一个紧急情况,需要政府采取干预措施,但应该有限制。封锁是适当的措施,因为美国的医疗系统已被削弱。我们需要一个具体的计划来走出疫情,这个计划应该以检测为基础,并利用检测数据和接触追踪应用程序来有效利用检测资源。同时,我们也需要采取一些常识性的预防措施,例如戴口罩、保持社交距离等。但是,我们不能让疫情成为新的常态,政府应该尽快制定一个具体的计划,让我们恢复正常生活。在这次疫情中,我认为政府应该发挥一定作用,但应限定时间范围。政府干预应该逐步取消,而不是突然停止。我认为对隔离的过度关注是不健康的。政府机构在疫情期间发布的信息有时会让人感到反感。在紧急情况下,应该帮助他人,但重点是尽快恢复正常生活。不要把居家隔离变成新的常态。 David Cohen: 新西兰的疫情应对做得比较好,这得益于其地理位置、人口规模和边境管控等优势。新西兰政府对疫情的反应迅速,例如,它是世界上最早关闭来自中国的航班的国家之一。但是,在紧急情况下,传统的权力制衡机制会变得难以运作。即使在美国,联邦政府也应该在疫情期间发挥更大的作用。我认为每个州都有权制定自己的疫情应对措施,总统无权干涉。特朗普总统应该提出具体的抗疫计划。我认为对隔离的过度关注是不健康的。许多关于疫情的预测一直在变化,关于新冠病毒传播方式的叙述也一直在变化。我对自己的知识知之甚少。我们需要尽快结束封锁。我认为这次疫情是一个紧急情况,需要政府采取干预措施,但应该有限制。隔离是政府的适当职能,但应该限制时间。政府干预应该逐步取消,而不是突然停止。我认为这次疫情是一个紧急情况,需要政府采取干预措施,但应该有限制。在这次疫情中,政府干预是必要的,但应该有限制。

David Cohen joins Amy for a wide-ranging discussion this week. He is a Wellington journalist and author whose work has been widely published in New Zealand and around the world. His writings have appeared in The New York Times, The Spectator, The Jerusalem Report and The Christian Science Monitor. He is the author of six books, the latest of which, Book of Cohen, had to do with the late Leonard Cohen. He describes his personal enthusiasms as poetry, philosophy and Middle Eastern cooking. The last he has parlayed into a popular newsletter called Middle Feast--which he says is currently finding an appreciative readership at a time such as this when governments have shut down the economy and told people to stay in their own kitchens.
