新的新冠肺炎案例在美国许多地方，前副总统乔·拜登的竞选团队在今晚的世界系列赛上推出了一个新广告，一位亚利桑那州的小企业主批评了唐纳德·特朗普总统对这一流行病的反应，称病毒的持续传播使她担心自己的生命。
“每一天似乎都在变得更糟，我认为[特朗普]没有办法控制住这一点。我是说，我怕死。我害怕看不到我的孩子长大，”亚利桑那州的沙龙店主迪娜说，她在周五晚上的世界系列赛第三场比赛中，将在全国范围内首次播放这个60秒的广告。
“看着数字每天都在上升，知道有人死了，这种事情就开始严重打击家庭。这很严重，”迪娜补充道，她以前曾出现在支持拜登竞选的广告中。“它从顶部开始。从唐纳德·特朗普开始。即使在911发生的时候，我也觉得我们像一个国家一样团结在一起。现在不是这样的。他把我们都分了。”
这则广告发布的前一天，拜登和特朗普在田纳西州纳什维尔举行的最后一场总统辩论中就联邦政府对这一流行病的反应发生冲突，拜登今天下午在特拉华州威尔明顿发表讲话，阐述了他的政府将如何努力减少病毒传播。
“多达210，000例可避免的死亡，”拜登周五说，当时指的是特朗普，“但他没有多少不同的做法?美国占全世界人口的4%，但我们却占全世界死亡人数的20%。如果这是成功，失败是什么样子的?”

最近的病例上升包括周四报告的九个州创纪录的新病例。特朗普一再试图描绘一幅更美好的画面，描绘美国与一种已夺去22万多条美国人生命的病毒的斗争。
“它会消失的，就像我说的，我们正在转弯。我们正在拐弯。它正在消失，”特朗普在周四的辩论中说。
这个新广告是拜登竞选团队在今年洛杉矶道奇队和坦帕湾光芒队之间的世界系列赛中播放的第三个广告，拜登竞选团队打破了本周期的筹款记录。
拜登将于周六在宾夕法尼亚州竞选，而特朗普也在继续艰难的竞选步伐，计划在北卡罗来纳州、俄亥俄州和威斯康星州举行三次集会。这个州最近几周新冠肺炎病例迅速增加
Biden to unveil COVID-focused ad during World Series featuring Arizona salon owner: 'I'm afraid of dying'
As newcases of COVID-19continue to rise in many parts of the United States, former Vice President Joe Biden's campaign is rolling out a new ad during tonight's World Series game that features an Arizona small business owner who criticizes President Donald Trump's response to the pandemic, saying the continued spread of the virus makes her fear for her own life.
"Every day seems to be getting a little worse, and I don't think [Trump] has a way to get this under control. I mean, I'm afraid of dying. I'm afraid of not seeing my kid grow up," says Dina, a salon owner in Arizona, in the 60-second ad that will debut nationally on Friday night during Game 3 of the World Series.
"Looking at the numbers rising every day, knowing somebody who died, that kind of thing just starts hitting home really hard. This is serious," adds Dina, who's previously appeared in ads supporting Biden's campaign. "It starts at the top. It starts with Donald Trump. Even when Sept. 11th happened, I felt like we were united as a country. It is not like that now. He has divided all of us."
The ad comes the day after Biden and Trump clashed during the final presidential debate in Nashville, Tennessee, over the federal government's response to the pandemic, and after Biden's speech this afternoon in Wilmington, Delaware, laying out how his administration would work to reduce virus spread.
"As many as 210,000 avoidable deaths," Biden said on Friday, referring then to Trump, "but there's not much he would do differently? The United States is 4% of the entire world's population, yet we make up 20% of all the deaths worldwide. If this is a success, what does failure look like?"
Personnel administer COVID-19 tests in Milwaukee as cases spread in the Midwest, Oct. 2, 2020.
The recent uptick in cases includes a record number of new cases in nine states reported on Thursday. Trump has repeatedly sought to portray a much rosier picture of the nation's battle with a virus that has claimed over 220,000 American lives.
"It will go away, and as I say, we're rounding the turn. We're rounding the corner. It's going away," Trump said at Thursday's debate.
The new ad is the third that the Biden campaign, which smashed fundraising records this cycle, is running during this year's World Series between the Los Angeles Dodgers and Tampa Bay Rays.
Biden is set to campaign in Pennsylvania on Saturday, while Trump, continuing a torrid pace on the trail as well, is scheduled to hold three rallies in North Carolina, Ohio and Wisconsin,a state that has seen a rapid rise in COVID-19 cases in recent weeks.
