--来自一个感恩社区的大量资金支持正在帮助墨尔本东部包括Box Hill和Ringwood East等地的医院，为冠状病毒的高峰做准备。这笔钱已用于购买重要的医疗设备以挽救生命。
墨尔本东部的人们和企业已经掏腰包，以帮助公立医院为冠状病毒大流行做好准备。
为了帮助东部医院采购更多医疗设备，Eastern Health建立了Agility Response基金，并在仅仅三周之内收到了$131,000的捐款。基金会Director Jason Smith表示，社区对于基金的响应非常热烈，目前募集的数量已经能够购买其首批设备清单来支持医院。
东区卫生局将很快收到为Box Hill 配备的16台重要生命体征检测仪，以及两台为Box Hill 和 Maroondah配备的电子喉镜，用来帮助医生进行插管操作。史密斯表示：“这些设备正在通往病房的路上。 事情进展非常顺利。”
史密斯先生说，东区卫生局对于人们对抗击冠状病毒方面处于第一线的医生和护士的支持感到高兴。“这真的非常令人鼓舞和振奋。” 现在的支持来自于社区的各个角落，而白马市亚裔商业协会的大力支持尤其令人感动。该协会已经已组织名义进行了一次捐款，并且一直鼓励其成员进行个人捐赠，其中许多捐款来自具有华人姓氏的人们。
史密斯先生说该协会是Eastern Health的长期支持者，曾帮助购买过医疗器械。史密斯先生表示，考虑到Box Hill的许多企业商户自一月以来一直处于的低迷状态，协会的付出尤其友善。 “Box Hill的商户企业非常艰难的，”他说。“我们非常感谢这些捐款，特别是在这一个对于他们来说充满挑战的时刻。”
许多捐助者也为基金会留下了感动，他们留下了信息向医院工作人员表示了感谢。
“希望你和家人都安好”，”捐款者Yue说。
“感谢你的工作！我们感谢你！” Xu写道。
史密斯表示，基金一直受到人们强有力的支持，但是预计由于墨尔本需要住院的COVID-19病例数将在6月达到峰值，需要更多的捐款来支持。Box Hill，Maroondah和Angliss医院的急诊部门和重症监护室的工作人员已经草拟了第二份清单，以帮助应对住院高峰期的情况。他们正在征集$335,000以购买两台视频喉镜以帮助医生插管操作，一台便携式运输呼吸机和两台用于肺衰竭患者的心脏肺旁路机，以及九台iPad来帮助ICU患者与外界联系。

现在每日新增数额越来越少，为啥6月才到峰值?到那时前期大量确诊人员早就康复或死亡了。

Coronavirus Melbourne: donations to Eastern Health prepare hospitals
An overwhelming amount of financial support from a thankful community is helping hospitals in Melbourne’s east, including Box Hill and Ringwood East, prepare for coronavirus’ peak. The money has been used to buy vital medial equipment to save lives.
Eastern Health will soon receive 16 vital signs monitors for Box Hill Hospital, and two glidescopes, which help doctors insert breathing tubes, for Box Hill Hospital and Maroondah Hospital.
“They’re on the way to the wards now,” Mr Smith said.
“Things are moving quickly.”
Mr Smith said Eastern Health was delighted by the support shown for its doctors and nurses who were on the frontline in the fight against coronavirus.
“It’s incredibly encouraging and uplifting,” he said.
Mr Smith said while support was coming from all corners of the community, it was particularly touching to see such strong support from the Asian Business Association of Whitehorse.
The association has made a donation as an organisation and has also been encouraging its members to donate individually, with many cash injections coming from donors with Chinese surnames.
Mr Smith the association was a longstanding supporter of Eastern Health, having helped buy medical machines in the past, but said the association’s efforts were especially kind considering many businesses in Box Hill had been suffering a downturn since January.
“Businesses in Box Hill have done it very tough,” he said.
“We’re really appreciative of this donation at what is a challenging time for them.”
The foundation has also been touched by the many donors who have taken to leaving messages of thanks and appreciation for hospital staff.
“I hope you and your family all are safe,” donor, Yue, wrote.
“Thanks for your work! We appreciate you!” Xu wrote.
The support for the fund has been strong and continuous, but with the number of COVID-19 cases requiring hospitalisation expected to reach a peak in Melbourne in June, Mr Smith said donations needed to keep coming.
Staff from the emergency departments and intensive care units at Box Hill, Maroondah and Angliss Hospitals have drawn up a second list of items needed to help manage a spike in hospitalisations.
They’re after a further $335,000 to buy two video laryngoscopes to help insert breathing tubes, a portable transport ventilator and two heart lung bypass machines to support patients with lung failure, and nine iPads to help ICU patients connect to the outside world.
Donations are free of an administration fee and can be made here.

这新闻提醒了我去瞧瞧捐皇家墨尔本的划走了没。
我觉得象 The Alred,Royal Melbourne 之类的大医院也需要帮助，疫情高峰到来时，他们面对着更多的压力。
