Foreigners Airlifted From Chinese City at Heart of Coronavirus Outbreak

Foreigners Airlifted From Chinese City at Heart of Coronavirus Outbreak

By MIRIAM JORDAN and AUSTIN RAMZY
More than a dozen nations pulled their citizens from Wuhan. But how evacuees were handled once they got home varied country by country.





美、日、德等國從武漢撤僑,不只打中國耳光,更有些教訓該牢記。

撤僑,乃是對地主國的不信任:對其醫療水準的抗議 (日本撤僑之後,很快診斷出3位確定案例:從武漢乘坐包機返日的日本公民中,有3人被確診感染新型冠狀病毒肺);對中國罔顧人權(人身自由)等的抗議。

日本的撤僑,更展現該國的處理疫情之高水準 (一人一輛救護車等等).....



Hundreds of citizens have been extracted from Chinese city of Wuhan but countries must now also address the challenge of screening and quarantine.

多國撤僑,日本撤僑包機上發現三個確診病例
→美國撤僑專機抵達南加州。 195名乘客將在那裡的空軍基地停留三日,由醫務人員進行身體評估,回家後還將接受14天的監測。撤離人員主要由領事官員及其家屬組成,也包括在中國的其他一些美國人。
此外,雖然紐約州尚未發現新型冠狀病毒確診病例,但紐約唐人街的組織者已將今年的農曆新年慶祝活動取消 。
→日本新增三起確診病例。三名日本公民周三早間從武漢乘包機回國後被檢測出新型冠狀病毒陽性,使該國確診病例數達到11例。
週三,206名日本公民乘機抵達羽田機場。除兩人以外均同意接受該病毒測試,12人被立即送往醫院進行監測。大多數乘客沒有症狀,但他們被隔離在一家酒店,等待病毒檢測結果。在測試結果為陽性的三名患者中,一人表現出症狀,而另外兩人尚未有症狀出現。
從武漢出發的另一架日本包機於週四早間降落,機上有210名乘客。
→其他已經或計劃從武漢撤僑國家包括法國、韓國、日本、摩洛哥、德國、哈薩克斯坦、英國、加拿大、俄羅斯、荷蘭、緬甸,以及澳大利亞。

Who gets to claim Gandhi? Mr. Modi及其Bharatiya Janata 黨與穆斯林搶甘地思想......


Opponents of India’s new citizenship law sat in for a silent protest at a mosque in New Delhi on Thursday, the 72nd anniversary of Mohandas Gandhi’s assassination.   Saumya Khandelwal for The New York Times

Who gets to claim Gandhi?

The Indian icon is being pulled into the growing tension between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and protesters challenging his Hindu-centric vision for India.
Mr. Modi and his Bharatiya Janata Party have invoked Gandhi in speeches and pamphlets, saying he would have supported a contentious citizenship law.
The protesters — who see the law as discriminatory, with the potential to strip Muslims of citizenship — point out that Gandhi sought protections for Muslims.
Where Gandhi stood: He envisioned the peaceful coexistence of Muslims and Hindus under a secular government. He was killed 72 years ago by a Hindu nationalist nurtured by the same hard-line group that shaped Mr. Modi.
Quotable: “You can’t have Einstein without relativity,” said a biographer of Gandhi. “You can’t have Darwin without evolution. And you can’t have Gandhi without Hindu-Muslim harmony.”

投資者在無知,貪婪與恐懼中掙扎!
台股今天大跌696.97,跌幅達5.75%,號稱史上最大跌點,這是股市投資人最擔心遇到的事,但現在就在眼前。就像岸邊的釣客,希望能釣上大魚,沒想到大浪打過來,最慘可能被捲進海裡沒頂,輕者被大浪打退好幾步,但大家更期待的是大浪退去後的風平浪靜。投資市場,大家都不能逃避的三個考驗:無知,貪婪與恐懼的天人交戰。
今天台股大跌,但台股有32檔漲停鎖死,在興櫃市場,也有一家生產口罩的敏成(4431)開盤大漲74.18%,被暫停交易。另一家生產清潔用品的清靜海(7516),一開盤大漲86.44%,九點十九分就宣告暫停交易。這是市場貪婪的資金在尋找出口,像清靜海過去七年虧五年,去年上半年EPS是負1.41元,股價居然從12.1元衝到33.49元,這可以看出,股市大跌,市場投機氣氛仍重,這是貪婪的極至。其實賣口罩的公司賺不了大錢,股價大漲的生技公司也都跟這次疫情沒有太大關連,但投資人仍到處碰運氣。
二是今天台股成交量2758.36億元,這是史上名列前幾名的大量,今天外資賣超177.97億元,投信賣超27.78億元,自營商賣超58.12億元,三大法人賣超並不特別嚴重,今天的大量學問很大,值得用心解讀,因為利空那麼大,誰供應籌碼?而這些籌碼又被誰接走?這是恐懼與貪婪的拔河。
三是我們都面對無知的恐懼,因為這場疫情如何演變下去?沒有人能提供確切的答案,投資市場最害怕不確定因素。像中國股市延遲到2月3日恢復交易,這更加折騰全球股市,受害最慘烈的是香港股市成了A股提款機,跌勢不止,也影響台股。今天台股大跌,其實是反應春節年假休市太長的能量宣洩。小英政府若想台灣與國際金融市場接軌,台灣能在財富管理分一杯羮,股市休市機制得重新檢討。
台股會跌多久?沒有標準答案,但這次跟Sars不同的是,上次Sars來襲,股市在低檔,這回在高檔,未來幾天,大家仍必須在無知,貪婪與恐懼中交戰!
