当地时间1月4日，美国彭博社报道了一则“可怕消息”：美国当地时间1月3日新增新冠确诊病例超过100万例，奥密克戎毒株海啸般席卷而来，影响着美国人日常生活的方方面面。

More than 1 million people in the US were diagnosed with Covid-19 on Monday as a tsunami of omicron swamps every aspect of daily American life.

报道称，这一数字创造了新的全球单日新增纪录。上一次该记录是美国在4天前创造的，当时美国单日新增确诊病例达59万。

The highly mutated variant drove US cases to a record, the most -- by a large margin -- that any country has ever reported. Monday's number is almost double the previous record of about 590,000 set just four days ago in the US, which itself was a doubling from the prior week. 

彭博社表示，在美国公布这一惊人数字的同时，仍有许多美国人依赖自己在家进行的检测，而这些检测结果并未向政府官方机构报告。这意味着新纪录肯定被严重低估了。

The stratospheric numbers being posted in the US come even as many Americans are relying on tests they take at home, with results that aren't reported to official government authorities. That means the record is surely a significant under-estimate.
