the lockdown where they were in effect by Easter. Many Democrat governors refused to lift their own lock downs.
那些正在实施的封锁。 很多民主党州长拒绝解除自己的封锁。
several governors initially stated they would not lift lockdowns until a vaccine was available or until there were zero new cases, positions they later abandoned as economic pressures mounted. For example, Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker declared in May 2020 that the state could not fully reopen until a vaccine was widely available or new cases were eliminated, while Colorado Governor Jared Polis claimed in April 2020 that restrictions would remain until total cases were falling. Similarly, the Hawaii Department of Education initially demanded four weeks of no new cases before reopening schools, a standard officials later admitted was unrealistic.
几位州长最初表示，除非疫苗可用或新增病例清零，否则不会解除封锁，但后来迫于经济压力都放弃了这些立场。例如，伊利诺伊州州长J.B.普利兹克在2020年5月宣布，该州在疫苗广泛可用或新增病例消除前不能全面重新开放；科罗拉多州州长贾里德·波利斯在2020年4月声称，在总病例数下降之前限制措施将继续。同样，夏威夷教育部最初要求连续四周无新增病例才重新开放学校，官员们后来承认这一标准不现实。
Shift in Strategy: By late April and early May 2020, many officials began scaling back these "containment" goals because waiting for a vaccine or zero cases threatened economic collapse.
策略转变：到2020年4月底和5月初，许多官员开始缩减这些“清零”目标，因为等疫苗或病例清零会引发经济崩溃。
Extended Lockdowns: Some leaders maintained strict orders longer than others; New York Governor Andrew Cuomo extended his stay-at-home order until mid-May 2020, and Washington Governor Jay Inslee kept his state's lockdown in place until October 31, 2022.
延长封锁：有些领导人比其他同事维持了更严格更久的封锁令；纽约州州长安德鲁·科莫(Andrew Cuomo)把居家令延长到2020年5月中旬，华盛顿州州长杰伊·英斯利(Jay Inslee)把该州封锁一直维持到2022年10月31日。
Refusal to Lock Down: Conversely, governors like Kristi Noem of South Dakota and Gary Herbert of Utah refused to impose full statewide lockdowns in the spring of 2020.
拒绝封锁：反过来，南达科他州州长克里斯蒂·诺姆(Kristi Noem)和犹他州州长加里·赫伯特(Gary Herbert)在2020年春天都拒绝实施全州范围的封锁。
