See that well-dressed man across the room? That’s Mr. Green. When he came to New York 20 years ago, he was only a hick fresh out of the cornfields of Kansas. But he turned out to be a lot smarter than he looked; they say he made ten million dollars last year trading in the stock exchange.

||1:Dr Hick says the biggest challenge if the disease starts to circulate widely in Minneapolis will be staffing.||2:With no vaccine to protect them, many doctors and nurses will be infected.||3:Others will need to stay at home to look after their children because schools may be closed.||4:In its disaster planning, the hospital where Dr Hick works considered offering child care on-site for its staff.||5:But he admits that people may be reluctant to bring their offspring to a hospital during an epidemic.

||1:希克博士说，如果这种疾病开始在明尼阿波利斯广泛传播，最大的挑战将是人员配备。||2:由于没有疫苗保护，许多医生和护士将会受到感染。||3:其他人将需要呆在家里照顾他们的孩子，因为学校可能会关闭。||4:在灾难计划中，希克博士工作的医院考虑为其员工提供现场儿童护理。||5:但他承认，传染病肆虐时，人们可能不愿意带他们的后代去医院。

||1:Once an epidemic is in full swing, extensive testing to find everyone who might have the disease is less useful, says John Hick , an emergency coordinator at the Hennepin County Medical Centre in Minneapolis.||2:At that point, he says, doctors will start to diagnose probable cases by symptoms alone—which is common practice for many illnesses, including the flu.||3:Medics in parts of China are already doing this.

||1:一旦流行病全面爆发，对每个可能患有这种疾病的人进行广泛的测试是没有用的，明尼阿波利斯市亨内平县医疗中心的紧急协调员约翰·希克表示。||2:他说，到那时，医生将开始仅根据症状来诊断可能的病例——这是许多疾病的常见做法，包括流感。||3:中国部分地区的医护人员已经在这样做了。

||1:Some hospitals are trying to conserve supplies.||2:Dr van Mansfeld says that nurses in her hospital in Amsterdam are being reminded not to use the high-protection respirator masks if they are caring for patients for whom the guidelines say ordinary surgical masks suffice.||3:At some point, says Dr Hick , medics may have to start reusing respirator masks judiciously.||4:Instead of throwing them away after each patient, they could remove them, handling them particularly carefully so that any germs on the outer surfaces are not transferred to their mouths or noses, and re-use them.

||1:一些医院正设法节约供应。||2:范·曼斯菲尔德医生说，她所在的阿姆斯特丹医院的护士们被提醒，如果他们要照顾的病人需要普通的外科口罩就足够了，那么就不要使用高防护口罩。||3:希克博士说，在某种程度上，医护人员可能不得不开始谨慎重复使用口罩。||4:他们不是在接触每个病人之后都扔掉口罩，而是拿出来，特别小心地拿着，这样任何细菌都不会从外表面转移到嘴巴或鼻子上，然后再重复使用。
