Grocery store shoppers practice social distancing rules, put in place to prevent the spread of the deadly coronavirus. They wait in long lines and follow other strict guidelines to help contain the virus. This mask here is a little bit comfort, you know on the ears it's a bit tight over here bandage its pretty much the same thing because were not protecting the things that were breathing in its more what were breathing out, thats keeping the other people safe. Regulations by the US Centers for Disease Control, limit the number of people in stores to 20% of the pre-pandemic numbers. But experts say measures have fallen short and come too late, especially for grocery store workers.
杂货店的购物者实行隔离政策，以阻止致命的新冠状病毒传播。他们排着长队等待，并遵循其他严格的原则来帮助控制病毒。这款口罩还算舒适，你知道口罩在耳朵上会有点紧，就像是绷带几乎是一样的，因为没有对我们吸入的东西进行防护更多的是呼出的空气，这是为了保护其他人的安全。根据美国疾病控制中心的规定，将商店里的人数限制在疫情前的20%。但专家说，这些措施已经落空，而且来得太晚了，尤其是对杂货店员工而言。
There have been over 3,000 cases of employees who work in supermarkets that have covid-19, there have been 41 deaths. They have not been given masks, they have not been given gloves, their union has insisted about that. In mid-april Google dedicated its main page banner to grocery workers who are the least protected from a virus theyre constantly exposed to. I don't think anyone realized even the authorities didn't realize how serious this was. Even I didn't understand at first until we saw how many people were seriously sick. Its very hard to determine whether anyone is sick, grocery stores don't have temperature readers installed at the entrances. Employees disinfect trolley handles, wash floors and take credit and bank cards from customers at the checkout counter. Customers wear gloves and masks and many entered grocery stores only when they need basic necessities but the workers have no choice.Employees like Wanda Evans, a Chicago area Walmart employee who died from covid-19. His family is suing the retailer for allegedly not doing enough to protect workers. In a statement Walmart said its heartbroken by Evanss death and listed safety measures. The retailer said it took in response to the pandemic. Now supermarkets and other retailers are finding it harder to get workers. A supermarket I want to say wasn't an easy job but it wasn't a very stressful job for many people. Now its become very stressful and we also see a lot of people not wanting to go to work. But in the case for a lot of employees, it's not about the extra $2.00. It's not about you know getting laid off from a restaurant and you know going to work in a supermarket very often. They would make just as much money going on unemployment.Delivery driver Execelso Sabulao practically forced his father to leave his supermarket job and said he would support his parents on his own. I guess the part that I'm afraid of the most is going inside the store and picking up those bags, you know opening the fridge and the chiller because I don't know if people you know people who are working and that they call it shoppers, they hopeful shoppers, I don't know if one of them is infected. Right now Sabulao says he doesn't have a choice but what he does have is disinfectant, gloves and hope. For Elena Wolf in New York Anna Rice VOA news.
在超市工作的员工中，感染人数超过3000例，死亡41例。他们没有戴口罩，也没有戴手套，他们的工会坚持这样做。四月中旬，谷歌将其主页上的条幅标记为献给食品杂货店员工。他们是经常接触病毒却没有受到保护的人。我想没有人意识到，即使是当局也没有意识到这有多严重。一开始我都不明白，直到我们看到有多少人病得很重。很难确定是否有人生病，杂货店的入口处没有安装温度读数器。员工消毒手推车把手，清洗地板，在收银台从顾客手中取走信用卡和银行卡。顾客戴着手套和口罩，许多人只在需要基本必需品时才进入杂货店但员工们别无选择。像万达·埃文斯这样的员工，一位来自芝加哥的沃尔玛员工死于冠状病毒。他的家人正在起诉这家零售商店，称他们在保护员工方面做得不够。沃尔玛发布了一份声明，表示它对埃文斯的死感到心碎，并列出了安全措施。这家零售商表示他们采取了应对疫情的措施。现在超市和其他零售商发现很难找到员工。我想说的是，在超市工作并不容易，但对很多人来说，这并不是一份压力很大的工作。现在它变得很紧张，我们也看到很多人不想去上班。但对于很多员工来说，这与额外的2美元无关。这并不是说你会在一家餐馆被解雇，你知道你经常去超市工作。他们在失业时也能赚到同样多的钱。送货司机Execelso Sabulao几乎强迫他父亲辞去超市的工作他说他会自己养活父母。我想我最害怕的是进商店去拿那些袋子，你知道打开冰箱和冷冻机是因为我不知道你认识工作的人，他们称之为购物者，或者是可能的购物者，我不知道他们中是否有人感染了。现在萨布劳说他别无选择，但他能选择的是消毒剂、手套和希望。VOA制作人Elena Wolf，记者Anna Rice纽约报道。
