“就在特朗普吹噓產(chǎn)量增加之時(shí)，他參觀緬因州工廠期間所生產(chǎn)的新冠檢測(cè)拭子將被丟入垃圾堆”

US President Donald Trump traveled to Maine on June 5 to tour a facility that makes medical swabs used for coronavirus testing, but the swabs manufactured in the background during his visit will ultimately be thrown in the trash, the company said.

Puritan Medical Products said it will have to discard the swabs, a company spokeswoman told USA TODAY in response to questions about the visit.

當(dāng)?shù)貢r(shí)間6月5日，特朗普前往緬因州吉爾福德參觀了一家拭子制造廠。參觀期間，特朗普表示，美國(guó)有能力在醫(yī)療物資方面自給自足。

During his tour of Puritan Medical Products in Guilford, Maine, Trump touted the swabs, saying it was proof positive that American could handle its own medical supply needs.

“Made in the USA. I’ve been saying it for a long time,” Trump said during the visit in which he toured the factory. He did not wear a face mask, in-keeping with his usual custom.

在特朗普參觀期間，還有工人解開(kāi)工作服，向特朗普展示印有其名字的T恤。

不過(guò)，就在特朗普參觀結(jié)束后，工廠方面卻表示，當(dāng)天工廠投入生產(chǎn)的機(jī)器非常有限，只有特朗普參觀期間才運(yùn)作，而當(dāng)天生產(chǎn)的產(chǎn)品都將被丟棄。

“The running of the factory machines is very limited today and will only occur when the president is touring the facility floor,” Company marketing manager Virginia Templet told USA Today. “Swabs produced during that time will be discarded.”

美媒稱(chēng)目前尚不清楚廠家這么做的原因，以及丟棄的拭子數(shù)量。但據(jù)緬因州以及美國(guó)其他州的公共衛(wèi)生官員表示，由于拭子短缺，令他們無(wú)法進(jìn)行大批量的新冠病毒檢測(cè)。

據(jù)當(dāng)?shù)孛襟w報(bào)道，上個(gè)月，緬因州仍有近1/3的養(yǎng)老院報(bào)告稱(chēng)他們沒(méi)有咽拭子來(lái)采集檢測(cè)樣本。

It is not clear why the swabs will be scrapped, or how many. The company described its manufacturing plans for Friday as "limited" – but the disruption comes as public health officials in Maine and other states have complained that a shortage of swabs has hampered their ability to massively scale up coronavirus testing.

Nearly a third of Maine nursing homes reported last month they had no nasal swabs to collect specimens, the Portland Press Herald reported.
