《纽约时报》报道称，美国的实际感染人数可能要高得多。100万的数字并不包括成千上万感染了该病毒但未接受检测的人。
The true number of U.S. infections is believed to be "much higher."
"The 1 million figure does not include untold thousands of Americans who contracted the coronavirus but were not tested, either because they did not show symptoms or because of a persistent national testing shortage," according to a report by The New York Times on Tuesday.

据CNN报道，在28日的白宫记者会上，对于美国新冠肺炎确诊病例超过100万，CNN记者提问总统特朗普：“今年二月，你曾预测确诊病例将降到零。你怎么看待如今已升至100万例一事？”
During a news media availability at the White House on Tuesday, U.S. President Trump was presented with a comment he made more than two months ago.
“Today the U.S. hit a grim milestone of 1 million cases of the coronavirus,” CNN’s Jim Acosta said. “Back in late February, you predicted that the number of cases would go down to zero. How did we get from your prediction of zero to 1 million?”
对此，特朗普回应称：“病例最终将降到零。” 他认为，病例数量大是因为“我们的检测数量比别的国家高得多”。
“Well, it will go down to zero ultimately,” the president responded. “You have to understand that when it comes to cases, we do much more testing than anyone else.”

The U.S. state of New York on Monday canceled the state's Democratic presidential primary scheduled for June 23, becoming the first state to do so due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
目前，美国已有多个州因疫情延期举行初选。上个月，纽约州州长科莫签署行政令，宣布将该州总统初选从原定的4月28日推迟到6月23日。
Multiple states have postponed their primaries due to the coronavirus pandemic. Last month, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo issued an executive order moving the primary from its originally scheduled date of April 28 to June 23.

据CNN报道，美国民主党总统竞选人乔·拜登上周暗示，共和党籍总统特朗普可能试图用疫情作借口，推迟定于11月举行的总统大选。
拜登当天在一场线上竞选筹款活动中说：“记住我的话，我认为他将试图推迟选举，给出一些无法按期举行（总统选举）的理由。” 按拜登的说法，推迟选举是特朗普自认能够获胜的“唯一办法”。
"Mark my words: I think he is gonna try to kick back the election somehow, come up with some rationale why it can't be held," Joe Biden said at a virtual fundraise.
