title: Medical aid slowly enters North Korea

content_text:
AMBIGUOUS SITUATION:
 While Pyongyang has not confirmed any cases of the coronavirus, it has made ‘indirect’ requests for help and shifted manufacturing

The first shipments of international medical aid are this week to arrive at North Korea’s borders to shore up its defenses against COVID-19, but strict border controls could mean that the stream of supplies remains a trickle.

Some aid organizations had to get emergency sanction exemptions from the UN to clear the way for the shipments and are now navigating North Korea’s border controls imposed to shut out the virus.

North Korea has reported no confirmed cases of the novel coronavirus that was first detected in China late last year, although a top US military official last week said that he is “fairly certain” there are infections in North Korea.

North Korea is especially vulnerable to an outbreak, as its health system lacks resources, in part because of international sanctions imposed over its nuclear weapons and ballistic missile programs, aid organizations said.

Aid groups have made urgent pleas for the UN to grant sanctions exemptions and it has approved six-month waivers for the WHO, the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) and Doctors Without Borders to send thermometers, portable ventilators, resuscitators, gloves, face shields, masks, gowns and goggles.

The UN Children’s Fund, which has said that it did not need a waiver to import personal protective equipment such as gloves, protective suits and respiratory equipment, expected its first shipment to be delivered to North Korea by land from China this week.

However, North Korea’s own strict border quarantine measures have kept some initial shipments waiting, humanitarian sources said.

More supplies of items from masks to test machines, sent by international agencies, were being held up in China, despite North Korea asking for them, said two sources with knowledge of the matter, who declined to be identified because of the sensitivity of the issue.

“North Koreans need assistance and have asked for it, but things are now on hold,” one source from a humanitarian group said.

The North’s state-run Korean Central News Agency on Friday last week reported that as part of “super strong prevention measures,” all imported goods were being quarantined for 10 days.

State media have shown workers in protective gear disinfecting trains and trucks.

Doctors Without Borders media coordinator Maya Zahran told reporters that the group’s supplies had arrived in Beijing and the border city of Dandong, and North Korean authorities had agreed to facilitate transport, despite the border closures.

She said that she could not confirm when the supplies would reach North Korea.

The IFRC said that it was working hard to send “urgently required goods,” but had to consider “restrictions on incoming goods” to North Korea.

It did not say when it expected its shipment to arrive.

The WHO did not respond to calls from reporters.

Experts have said that the planned supplies to help contain the coronavirus in North Korea are far short of what it needs.

Harvard Medical School’s Kee Park, who has worked on healthcare projects in North Korea, said that a lack of testing equipment might mean that infections are going undiscovered.

“To confirm it you have to actually do confirmatory diagnostic testing,” he said.

North Korea has said that it is monitoring thousands of people with possible symptoms.

Russia said that it had donated 1,500 coronavirus test kits at North Korea’s request.

“We should do everything in our power to provide help without delay, because this is an emergency situation,” Park said.

North Korea has a high number of doctors per capita, and the authoritarian government is capable of controlling or blocking the movement of people.

However, its health system is chronically under-resourced, defectors and foreign medical experts said.

Garment factories were manufacturing masks instead of clothes, state media reported.

On Tuesday, North Korean leader Kim Jong-un broke ground on a new hospital in the capital, Pyongyang.

He lamented the poor health sector and ordered that the facility be completed by October.

Many North Korean defectors have said that sick people have to rely on smuggled medicine or illicit drugs for treatment.

Seoul-based Severance Hospital International Health Care Center director John Linton said that some doctors scoured mountains for medicinal herbs.

North Korea has made “indirect” requests to South Korean aid groups for supplies including masks, said Linton, who has worked on building operating rooms and tuberculosis projects in North Korea.

He did not know if any had been sent.

Sanctions prohibit the import of computers or metal objects to North Korea, which restricts its ability to repair medical equipment, Linton said.

“IV [intravenous] fluid is actually made in hospitals,” he said. “Beer bottles or whatever bottles are used as containers for IV fluids, made at home.”

Virus Outbreak: Huge response to Irish plea to retired medics

CALL TO ARMS:
 The effort is also drawing healthcare workers back from Canada and Australia, where many young Irish find work after they complete their training

The Irish health service has been inundated with offers from former healthcare professionals prepared to return to front-line service to tackle the COVID-19 outbreak, a day after the government made its call to arms.

About 24,000 people responded to a call for retired doctors, nurses, therapists and university students with sufficient skills to register with the health service so they can be pressed into service as they are needed in the weeks ahead.

About 65,000 nurses and midwives are practicing in Ireland, with 15,000 doctors registered to work, 7,000 of whom are currently doing so, data showed.

Irish Minister for Health Simon Harris on Monday said that there would be no financial limits to the recruitment program and no constraint on the numbers to be hired, telling prospective candidates: “Your country needs you.”

“The huge response to this call is a testament to the solidarity of Irish people and we wish to thank those who have put themselves forward to work with us during these unprecedented circumstances,” Irish Health Service Executive National Director of Human Resources Anne Marie Hoey said in a statement.

The recruitment effort is drawing medical personnel back to the nation from Canada and Australia, where many young Irish medical professionals find work after they complete their training.

Anthony O’Connor, a member of the Irish Medical Organisation consultant committee, told broadcaster RTE that he knew of an Irish doctor in Perth, Australia, along with 24 colleagues, who intended to return to “serve their country.”

Other recruits include Roisin Doherty, the wife of Sinn Fein Teachta Dala Pearse Doherty, who is returning to work as a nurse.

The nation has 292 confirmed cases, but Irish Taoiseach Leo Varadkar on Tuesday said that the government expects that to rise to at least 15,000 by the end of this month.

title: Australian designers turn cane toads into fashion

content_text:
Lia Tabrah, who runs the fashion label Vermin with Perina Drummond, did not realize how strongly Australians feel about cane toads.

The designer started creating handbags made from the introduced species’ skin a few years ago, assuming that “it would be a niche thing — maybe tourism, maybe [for the] European market.”

However, she and Drummond went on to curate a toad-themed exhibition for Melbourne Design Week, although COVID-19 precautions have closed the show.

A handout released by the Australian Reptile Park on July 18 last year pictures a cane toad captured near Sydney.

Tabrah said that Vermin has a waiting list of orders for “handbags, man bags, wallets and stubby coolers.”

“We got so many crazy e-mails from strangers all over,” Tabrah said. “There was one where a woman’s dog had died by a toad and now she wanted a purse. All of these people hate [toads] so much that they want a piece.”

Cane toads were introduced to Australia in 1935 in an attempt to control beetles that were decimating local sugar cane, but it did not work out as planned.

The toads had little effect on the beetle population, instead causing havoc in the country’s ecosystems. They poison and prey on native animals and insects, compete for food with local fauna and breed at an alarming rate.

Today, there are an estimated 200 million cane toads in Australia — and they are on the move.

The exhibition, titled Toad Busting, “fights the war on cane toads by transforming these toxic invaders of Top End Australia into bespoke designs.”

Toad leather was sourced by Tabrah and Drummond from the Torres Strait Islands in January, and given to artists and designers, including Kate Geck, Lisa Waup, the Huxleys and Jenny Bannister.

Each creator produced wild and warty art: a woven “healing figure” inspired by connection to country and inherited traumas (Waup); a “plague bag” with protruding pierced cones of leather and dangling toad legs (Bannister); and a gold gimp mask (the Huxleys).

“Everyone has their own individual aesthetic,” Tabrah said.

However, there was a unifying sense of apocalypse chic — a loud and tropical Mad Max-style celebration of an invader being conquered.

“[The cane toad] is such an environmental pest,” Tabrah said. “It’s killing our wildlife. Rangers have programs of culling. Why not use that product?”

She has been designing “kitsch luxury Australiana” for about a decade. Think “gold-plated crocodile feet and kangaroo scrotum bedazzled with Swarovski crystal.”

Although Tabrah had not worked with toad skins until she collaborated with Mona’s Kirsha Kaechele, Drummond, on the other hand, knew all about toads, because she came from Thursday Island, where “they’re everywhere.”

Drummond’s brother is a ranger who taught them the best methods of “toad busting” — the common and encouraged practice of catching and humanely euthanizing the pests.

“There’s no local toad [leather] production here, so our concept is to source and start our own cane toad leather tannery,” Tabrah said.

“I think that we’re in that phase of fashion where we are looking for more diverse and sustainable sorts of products,” Drummond added.

Australian cane toad leather is a luxury fashion item for the moment.

The leather can be a tough material to work with, there is a limited amount of material on each small animal and all toads must be sourced in the wild, but the animals are an incredibly widespread problem and — warts and all — this is a stylish solution.

title: Miners stuck as Beijing to close last coal mine

content_text:
Gutted factories, rusting pickaxes and crumbling homes that will soon be abandoned dot the scarred hills in Mentougou — home to Beijing’s last coal mine, which is scheduled to close this year as the city battles choking smog.

One of China’s oldest mining towns, it has powered the capital for nearly 300 years.

However, more than 270 coal mines in the area have been shut down over the past two decades, as China has scrambled to cut carbon emissions and switch to renewable energy sources.

The last remaining mine — which employed about 7,000 workers at its peak — is scheduled to fully close later this year.

“Once the Datai coal mine closes, there won’t be any coal mines in Beijing left,” said Ma Shihui, a miner from Sichuan Province.

Younger workers have already collected their severance checks and moved to cities to find work.

However, hundreds of others like Ma have little hope of finding new jobs due to old age, and have no rights to farmland in their villages.

Ma worked with explosives at the Datai mine since 2016 and earned about 10,000 yuan (US$1,415) per month. Now his family survives on a 1,540 yuan monthly handout from the mining company.

“I’m already 50... If you’re over 45 years old, they don’t want you,” he said.

“My family doesn’t have farmland anymore ... so I can’t go back. Even if you go back, it’s no use, you couldn’t survive,” he added.

Beijing Jinmei Group, the state-owned enterprise that owns the mines near the capital, said that the government-mandated closures would mean the loss of 6 million tonnes of coal production capacity and the “resettlement” of more than 11,000 workers, mostly migrants.

Those left behind like Ma go twice a day to sign an attendance sheet at the mine office. They also help sweep away shredded documents and recycle mining waste.

“I hope the company will be able to arrange some work for me at their other mines in Ningxia or Shandong,” Ma said. “I don’t even mind working as a cleaner.”

Miners with lung diseases from inhaling coal dust are also stuck in the dilapidated town southwest of Beijing, because their government health insurance only covers treatment from hospitals in the area.

A miner from Guizhou surnamed Zhang, who worked at the Datai mine for 30 years, said that he was diagnosed with black lung disease in January last year.

The government has promised 380,000 yuan in compensation for sick mine workers, but the money has not reached many, Zhang said.

About 1,400 workers with occupational illnesses have filed a lawsuit against the mine operator, accusing the firm of siphoning their compensation for work-related injuries.

Calls and faxes to Beijing Jinmei Group on the issue went unanswered.

Liu Sheng, 51, had worked in coal mines since 1989. He was forced to retire in 2012 after being diagnosed with black lung disease.

“The main thing about this kind of illness is lung trouble. It takes a lot of effort to go outside... It can’t be cured,” Liu said. “I’m usually hospitalized five or six times a year.”

Liu now lives on a 4,000 yuan monthly government handout. He is unable to return to his village in Sichuan, because the health insurance card given by the company is only accepted in hospitals in the Mentougou area.

“I came to Beijing when I was 20 and now I’m 50. Beijing is my second home,” Liu said. “It’s unfair for them to ask us to leave now.”

China accounts for half of the world’s demand for coal and almost half of its production.

However, it is switching to greener sources of energy to fight chocking smog and reverse the environmental damage from its coal addiction.

A local government flier said that it plans to turn Mentougou into an eco-park, with “green mountains, blue waters and red tourism,” highlighting the coal town’s role in helping the Chinese Communist Party.

Beijing’s subway line is being extended to reach this far corner in hopes that it would bring curious tourists.

However, so far there are no hotels or even adequate public toilets to cater to visitors.

Earlier attempts to turn local farmsteads into bed and breakfast inns have also failed.

“Mentougou’s economy is in a shambles,” said Dong Xiaoyuan (董曉媛) from Peking University’s Institute on Poverty Research.

“First officials tried to introduce sheep herding, but it ended up harming the already deteriorated environment,” he said. “Haphazard plans only push more people into poverty.”

Slovenian Janja Garnbret, the world’s top female climber, is staying calm and focused despite the COVID-19 pandemic playing havoc with sports events around the world and plunging preparations for the Tokyo Olympics into chaos.

The 21-year-old is one of about 10,000 athletes preparing to compete at the Tokyo Games, which organizers insist will go ahead as scheduled from July 24 even as the global sports calendar has ground to a halt due to the pandemic.

Garnbret, the reigning two-time world champion in the combined climbing event set to make its Olympics debut in Tokyo, has qualified for the Games already, but others are not so lucky.

So far, 15 of the 20 Olympic spots for the women’s event are filled and two further qualification events have been canceled.

With a little over four months to go, all Garnbret can do is keep her head down and train at home in Ljubljana.

“Right now, we are a little bit, how to say, scared or worried if the Olympics will take place or not,” Garnbret told reporters by video call last week during a break from filming with her sponsor Red Bull. “My trainings are going full speed onwards. I am not stopping the training because of that” coronavirus.

Even if the Games were pushed back by a year, Garnbret said she would adapt.

“Every year I am training hard for the competitions and every year I am in the same ritual: I start to train hard in December and then I train hard the whole winter,” she said.

“So, I think if it was postponed then it wouldn’t be such a problem because I would be training hard anyway,” she said.

One possibility being floated is that the Games are held without spectators, but Garnbret wants a full house to watch her bid to win climbing’s first Olympic gold.

“It would be hard if the Olympics was postponed for a year, but it would also be weird to have an Olympics without spectators because that is the charm of the competition, to have everybody clapping, cheering and supporting you,” she said.

“If the Olympics will [go ahead], then they will be super good and if they will be postponed for a year, then what can we do?” she asked.

“There is no point in stressing over it,” she added.

In Japan, the Olympic flame arrived to a scaled-down welcoming ceremony yesterday.

The flame, enclosed in a special lantern, landed on a charter flight at the Matsushima Air Base in Japan’s north in a muted affair after organizers canceled plans to invite 200 schoolchildren.

Former Olympic judo champions Saori Yoshida and Tadahiro Nomura lit a ceremonial cauldron in front of a few dozen officials and guests.

“Children had planned to welcome the Olympic flame, but we decided to scale it down, giving priority to their safety,” Tokyo 2020 chief Yoshiro Mori said.

A nationwide torch relay is scheduled to start on Friday next week, starting from the J-Village sports complex in Fukushima.

Organizers have scaled back the relay, closing daily ceremonies to the public and urging spectators to “avoid forming crowds” along the route.

title: India hangs four men over 2012 Delhi bus gang rape

content_text:
‘THE FEARLESS ONE’:
 The victim’s mother said that she saluted the Indian judiciary and thanked god for hearing her prayers — that her daughter’s soul can rest in peace

India yesterday hanged four men who were convicted for the rape and murder of a young woman on a bus in New Delhi in 2012, in a case that shocked the world and shamed the country over its appalling record for crimes against women.

The men were executed at dawn in Tihar Jail, on the outskirts of the capital, two prison officials said.

Hundreds of police were deployed outside the jail to control a crowd that waited to celebrate the execution. Some held placards that read: “Justice for women” and “Hang the culprits.”

The crime, which happened on the night of Dec. 16, 2012, sparked massive protests and global outrage. The victim was dubbed Nirbhaya — “the fearless one” — by the Indian press, as she could not be named under Indian law.

“Today, justice has been done after seven years,” the victim’s mother told reporters outside the prison. “I salute the Indian judiciary and thank god for hearing our prayers... My daughter’s soul can now rest in peace.”

Six men were arrested for the brutal attack. One suspect, Ram Singh, was found dead in his jail cell in March 2013, having apparently taken his own life.

Another, who was aged 17 at the time, was released in 2015 after serving three years in a reform facility — the maximum term possible for a juvenile in India.

The four hanged yesterday were gym instructor Vinay Sharma, bus cleaner Akshay Thakur, fruit seller Pawan Gupta and unemployed Mukesh Singh, who were all sentenced to death by a fast-track court in 2013.

The Indian Supreme Court in 2017 upheld death sentences against four men, with judges ruling that the crime met the “rarest of the rare” standard required to justify capital punishment in India.

After the court dismissed their pleas for a review of the death sentences, Indian President Ram Nath Kovind rejected pleas for clemency from the condemned men.

Attacked on a moving bus and left for dead on a roadside, the victim, a 23-year-old physiotherapy student, clung to life for two weeks before succumbing to her injuries. She died in a hospital in Singapore, where she had been transferred in a desperate attempt to save her.

Outrage over her death led to India passing tough new laws against sexual violence, including the death penalty for rape in some cases.

Still, one woman reported a rape every 15 minutes on average in India in 2018, according to government data released last month, underlining the country’s reputation as one of the worst places in the world to be a woman.

Women reported almost 34,000 rapes in 2018, barely changed from the year before, while about 85 percent led to charges and 27 percent to convictions, the annual crime report released by the Indian Ministry of Home Affairs said.

Women’s rights advocates have said that the government statistics understate the number of rapes, as it is still considered a taboo by conservative Indians to report sexual violence.

Leofoo to renovate hotel, expand its amusement park

Leofoo Tourism Group (六福旅遊集團) is to spend NT$1.5 billion (US$49.5 million) to convert the Leofoo Hotel (六福客棧) into offices and expand its theme park in Hsinchu, it said yesterday.

The group — which owns the Courtyard by Marriott Taipei (六福萬怡) in Nangang District (南港), Leofoo Resort (六福莊), Leofoo Village Theme Park (六福村) and other recreational facilities — said it wants to make better use of its real-estate properties in central Taipei and Hsinchu County’s Guansi Township (關西), as well as boost sales of packaged food.

“The group is focused on revitalizing assets this year, starting with the project to renovate the 48-year-old Leofoo Hotel and turn it into a serviced grade-A office building,” Leofoo chairwoman Lulu Chuang (莊豐如) told a news conference in Taipei.

The complex would be Taiwan’s first serviced office building that has eateries, conference spaces, fitness centers, banquet facilities and even guestrooms to meet the needs of tenants, Chuang said.

With 21 floors above ground and five basement floors, it has 6,200 ping (20,460m2) of floor space on a 380 ping plot of land on Changchun Road (長春路) in the city’s Zhongshan District (中山).

Vacancy rates for office space in the vicinity is lower than 5 percent, suggesting strong demand for new office buildings, a trend supported by local companies returning from China to avoid complications from the US-China trade dispute, Chuang said.

While luxury apartments would generate higher sales, an office building promises more utilization flexibility and allows the group to take advantage of its experience from running Westin Taipei and Leofoo Hotel, she said.

It would not rule out devoting partial floors to hotel space if such an arrangement is desirable, she said.

The renovation project might begin in the first quarter of next year, she said.

In addition, the group plans to develop massive plots of land near its Leofoo Village Theme Park in Hsinchu to attract visitors aged 50 or older, Chuang said.

The theme park and an adjacent resort hotel are popular among young parents and their children, she said.

“We aim to expand our clientele to include older visitors who enjoy agricultural and natural scenery,” Chuang said.

title: Vina Formosa comes of age

content_text:
Taichung’s Vino Formosa continues to rack up accolades with two golds earlier this month — and its winemaker has his sights set on recreating Taiwanese spirits from the Japanese era

Chen Chien-hao (陳千浩) never tasted proper red wine until he was 23. It was 1991, when the only wine available in Taiwan was the state-produced rose (玫瑰紅), typically consumed with Apple Sidra soda (蘋果西打) and ice — much to the shock of Europeans he encountered while studying hotel management at Les Roches, a top-ranked hospitality school in Switzerland.

“I asked my teacher, why is this so astringent?” Chen says. “It tasted terrible. It was culture shock.”

At that time, winemaking was still illegal in Taiwan because of the government monopoly. But more than two decades later in 2014, Chen’s Vino Formosa, a dessert wine made in collaboration with Taichung’s Shu Sheng Leisure Domaine (樹生酒莊), won its first international gold medal. Earlier this month, both red and white varieties of Vino Formosa claimed top prizes in their respective categories at the Vinalies Internationales Competition in Paris — the first time Chen claimed double gold.

While Taiwan’s grape varieties, climate and winemaking culture cannot compare to that of viticultural meccas such Chile and France, Chen was able to make use of the nation’s disadvantages to create a unique product after years of experimentation.

“The taste of a wine depends on a locale’s natural surroundings and culture,” Chen says. “There is no technology that can reproduce this taste in another place.”

MAKING OF A WINE GURU

Chen’s wines are made from the Black Queen and Golden Muscat grape varieties, which the government introduced from Japan and the US in the 1950s to make wine. Hung Chi-pei’s (洪吉倍) family have been growing these grapes for about 60 years in Taichung’s Waipu District (外埔); he says this area used to boast over 300 hectares of vineyards.

Hung’s family sold their grapes exclusively to what’s known today as the Taiwan Tobacco & Liquor Corp, which was the nation’s sole producer of alcoholic beverages and cigarettes for most of the 20th century. This monopoly was only abolished in 2002 when Taiwan joined the WTO. Hung says most of the surrounding grape farmers then turned to other crops such as dragon fruit, but he held on to the family tradition.

When Chen began studying enology at the University of Burgundy in 1997, not only was he the first Asian student in the program, he was the only one who came from a country where winemaking was illegal.

“I didn’t think that much and went ahead,” he says. “I just wanted to achieve my dream.”

Chen was teaching at Kaohsiung University of Hospitality and Tourism when the government began issuing private licenses and assisting its former grape providers in the art of winemaking. They sought him out in 2004 and took him to several wineries to help enhance their operations, including Hung’s.

Hung’s wines didn’t fare too badly in the market, but Chen noticed a bitter taste caused by their equipment, which crushed the seeds and stems along with the fruit. He advised them to import a proper grape crusher and destemmer from France, and thought his job was done.

Soon he received a call from Hung: “The machine is here.” Great, Chen replied. “But you need to teach us how to use it,” Hung said. In the summer of 2005, Chen brought his students to the winery and began their grand experiment.

FIXING THE ‘FOXY’ FLAVOR

There was a sharp learning curve. Chen had no practical experience despite his credentials, and Taiwan’s climate was simply not suited for making wine. Its annual rainfall was significantly higher than acclaimed winemaking regions, and its frequent typhoons often led to early harvests when the grapes were still sour. Plus, while these hybrid grapes were hardy and resistant to heat and humidity, they had an unpleasant “foxy” flavor.

“Only one percent of the world uses hybrid grapes to make wine,” Chen says. “With inferior climate and varieties, it was almost impossible to make good wine in Taiwan.”

Chen rolled out a map and looked for wine-producing regions with similar conditions. He found two locations — Tahiti and Madeira, the latter a Portuguese island in the Atlantic Ocean. He ordered three bottles of wine from Tahiti and was not impressed. Madeira’s story, however, intrigued him. They make fortified wine by putting the barrels through thermal treatment in hothouses. Chen traveled to Madeira to learn their secrets as a freelance wine writer.

Back in Taiwan, he used solar power to simulate the hothouse conditions, and the foxy taste disappeared after three months. However, the overall product was still far from ideal. After letting the wine sit for about three years, it developed candied fruit and tropical fruit overtones, giving Chen hope that he was on the right track.

Due to Taiwan’s heat, the wine evaporated quickly — about 10 percent per year. After five years, only half the barrel’s content was left, but its taste had vastly improved through the Maillard reaction.

“The original negative quality of Taiwan’s grapes — sourness — was still there, since sourness doesn’t evaporate,” Chen says. “But this sourness became the deciding factor for the wine’s success, as it rounded out the overall taste and made it more refreshing. With other dessert wines such as port and cream sherry, you don’t want to drink too much at once. But the sourness made our wine palatable in larger quantities.”

Chen started entering Vino Formosa into international competitions in 2011. In 2015, while accepting an award in the UK, he ran into the winemaker he interviewed in Madeira.

“You were a spy!” the man exclaimed, but acknowledged that this taste could only be produced in Taiwan due to the various unique factors.

REVIVING PAST SPIRITS

After a successful collaboration with single-malt whiskey giant Glenfidditch using Vino Formosa barrels, Chen concluded that he had pushed Taiwanese wine as far as he could. It was impossible to compete with foreign wines commercially on price, since his production remained small.

The current waiting list to purchase Vino Formosa is up to five years.

Chen did some digging and discovered that the Japanese used to make sweet potato and rice liquor in Taiwan, but production ceased when they left the country in 1945. He went to Japan and served as an apprentice to learn their trade, beginning from sweeping the floors.

He then headed to Taiwan’s largest seed bank and found a discontinued variety of rice suitable for distilling called Yoshino No. 1. “I found a farmer on the east coast just as crazy as I am, and we began recultivating this rice,” he says.

Chen and Hung are building a four-level gravity flow winery next to the current establishment to bring back a variety of spirits that used to be produced in Taiwan using organic methods.

“I want to recreate the flavors of the past,” he says. “I want to revive Taiwan’s long-lost alcohol making culture, and inspire a ‘Taiwan wine and spirit renaissance.’”

Muslims in Delhi despair of justice after police implicated in riots
Allegations are mounting that police in India incited and aided mob violence, and failed to help Muslims who were targeted

On one side of the marketplace, it was carnage. As the Hindu mob descended, Muslim-owned stalls selling car parts were slowly reduced to debris and ashes, while just 100m away stood two police stations.

As the mob attacks came once, then twice and then a third time in the northeast Delhi neighborhood, desperate stallholders repeatedly ran to Gokalpuri and Dayalpur police stations crying out for help, but each time they found the gates locked from the inside. For three days, no help came.

“How could they set fire to our market in such a horrific way, while it is so close to two police stations, and not be stopped?” said a shopkeeper, who asked to remain anonymous for fear of reprisals. “But if I make any complaint against the police and if they know my identity, I will face very serious trouble.”

Since the riots broke out in Delhi at the end of last month, the worst religious conflict to engulf the capital in decades, questions have persisted about the role that the Delhi police played in enabling the violence, which was predominately Hindu mobs attacking Muslims. Of the 51 people who died, at least three-quarters were Muslim, and many Muslims are still missing.

“During the recent riots in Delhi, the role of the police has been very reprehensible,” said S.R. Darapuri, a retired senior police officer from Uttar Pradesh. “They not only openly sided with the Hindu mobs attacking Muslims, but also used brutal force against them. They purposely failed to respond to the SOS calls from the Muslims trapped in many violence-hit areas. Evidently, the role of the police has been communal, unethical and unprofessional.”

Delhi’s police are under the direct control of the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government, specifically Amit Shah, who is Indian home minister and party president, one of the most fervent advocates of the BJP’s Hindu nationalist agenda, which aims to establish India as a Hindu, rather than secular, nation.

As a result, the political agenda of the BJP government of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, which is widely seen as vehemently anti-Muslim, appears to have become firmly entrenched in the mindset of the Delhi police, which is already an overwhelmingly Hindu force.

In the weeks that have followed the riots, the alleged bias of the police has extended to accusations of a cover-up to protect the Hindu rioters and a widespread refusal to file or investigate complaints made by Muslim victims.

Delhi police did not respond to repeated requests for comment, but speaking in parliament last week, Shah praised the “commendable” job done by the Delhi police and said that “people should not look for religion in riots.”

The police themselves claim they did everything in their power to restore law and order.

However, those who took part in the riots on the Hindu side tell a very different story.

The catalyst for the riots is widely acknowledged to have been a comment by Kapil Mishra, a BJP leader, who on Feb. 23 issued a public ultimatum declaring that if the police did not clear the streets of a protest against a new citizenship law seen as anti-Muslim, his supporters would be “forced to hit the streets.”

Ravinder, a 17-year-old who works at his father’s property business and is part of India’s lower-caste Gujjar community, said he and other young Hindu men had heard Mishra’s call to action against the Muslim community and began to mobilize on the morning of Feb. 24 without any fear of police reprisal.

“There was a clear instruction of catch-and-kill action against any Muslim we could spot,” Ravinder said. “I was in a group of around 15 boys. Many senior brothers said to us that police would not take any action against any member of our community and we could attack the people on the other side [Muslims] the way we liked.”

Ravinder described how he and a group of seven men had captured a Muslim rickshaw driver in his 40s, beaten him with wooden sticks and metal rods until he appeared dead and then threw him in an open drain while police stood by.

He also said the police had instructed them to destroy the CCTV cameras as they marauded through the streets.

“Some policemen were standing just a few meters away,” Ravinder said. “They did not say anything to us. They turned their faces away from us. We understood that police would not intervene if we turned violent against any Muslim and a large section of the police all along backed us throughout.”

His account was echoed by a Hindu priest from Bihar state.

The Brahmin, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said he had witnessed young Hindu men in his neighborhood, who were all BJP supporters, declare that the “police brothers are with us” as they gathered stones, iron rods, knives, machetes, wooden sticks and guns ready to attack Muslims.

“The men were displaying weapons openly,” the priest said. “One young man with a pistol shouted: ‘Brothers, we are on a mission in the interest of the nation. Our [BJP] leaders have given the call to come out in the open... There is nothing to worry about. Join us and increase our strength.’”

“They were mobilizing other youths to come out with all types of arms. This was in the presence of police. It was clear that police were on our side,” he said.

While the authorities have denied that police were in any way involved in the violence, video footage captured during the riots and corresponding witness testimony shows police accompanying and encouraging the Hindu mobs or even taking part in pelting Muslims with stones and destroying CCTV cameras.

One piece of mobile phone footage, which went viral, laid bare the anti-Muslim bigotry of Delhi police. On Feb. 24, in one of the first clashes of the riots, police officers were captured beating five Muslim men who had not taken part in any violence. They kicked and hit them with sticks until their bodies were limp and broken, and then as the wounded men lay in the street, police forced them to sing the national anthem to prove their “loyalty” to India.

Among the men was 23-year-old Mohammad Faizan, who had gone out looking for his mother that day.

Although an innocent bystander, after their beatings and public humiliation at the hands of the police, Faizan and the others were then taken into police detention, where they received no medical attention. By the time he was released more than 24 hours later, Faizan’s condition had deteriorated. He died in hospital the next day from internal injuries, although his family has still not been given the report of the postmortem examination.

Sitting on the floor of the one-room house she shared with Faizan, his mother, Kishmatoon, 61, could not contain her grief, stroking the bed where he had once slept.

“He was completely innocent,” she said. “They cannot show any evidence that shows my son did anything unlawful that day. Yet the policemen caught and beat him mercilessly, and finally he died from the beatings.”

“They are policemen and I am poor and powerless,” she said. “I cannot seek justice for my son’s murder by police in any court in this country.”

Yet as the violence escalated across northeast Delhi and hundreds of thousands of phone calls began to flood into the police helpline, in most cases no police came. While Delhi police have claimed they did not have the personnel to respond to the scale of calls, accounts suggest that many made by Muslims purposefully went ignored.

Sanjida, 32, who owned a bakery in Shiv Vihar, which was destroyed by mobs, described how she had called the police as the attackers descended and was told by the officer who picked up the phone: “You voted for Kejriwal, call Kejriwal for help,” referring to Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, whose party recently beat the BJP by a landslide in the Delhi state elections with huge backing from the Muslim community.

Others described how when they had called the police helpline, they had been told: “You wanted azadi [freedom], this is it.”

Most victims of the riots now believe that police complicity in the violence means they will never receive justice.

Mehmood Pracha, a lawyer who is providing free legal assistance to riot victims, alleged that the police were now trying to prevent the mobs that carried out the violence being brought to account.

“Police are using pressure tactics and trying to ensure that no complaint is filed against the rioters,” Pracha said. “We have received hundreds of complaints from Muslim people that police are threatening people, including women and children, that if they filed complaints, they would be implicated in false cases.”

Even a retired Muslim policeman said that no officers had responded to dozens of calls as his house was looted in the riots.

Mahmood Khan, 66, who worked for Delhi police all his life, had his house raided three times by Hindu mobs.

He said no police had responded to his calls, his letter to a senior officer had gone unanswered and the police had initially refused to let him file a report about the damage.

“Maybe they will pretend to look for the culprits, but in the end they will be protected,” Khan said. “We are Muslims. There is no justice for us.”

德國有一位62歲的「樂高阿嬤」麗塔，她因為25年前的一場車禍，只能靠著輪椅移動，為了讓更多人意識到無障礙空間的重要性，她用樂高積木，製作了進出店家的樂高坡道，不只為當地小鎮，增添另類的觀光風景，也提供旅行業者、開發無障礙旅行的靈感。

德國樂高阿嬤麗塔艾比:「哈囉，我是麗塔艾比，我蓋出了了樂高坡道，讓我居住的城市對輪椅使用者來說更加友善。」

住在德國哈瑙的麗塔，25年前發生一場嚴重車禍後，就只能依靠輪椅移動。身為輪椅使用者之後，麗塔才發現，出門逛街、進出她常去光顧的店家，變得很不方便，很多地方只有階梯、沒有坡道，只能依靠旁人的幫忙上下台階，因此觸發她用樂高積木，打造一個能承受輪椅通過的坡道，並且跟哈瑙當地的店家合作，把做好的坡道，放在店家入口。目前當地已經有12套樂高坡道，當地人也因此叫麗塔為「樂高阿嬤」。

德國沙龍美髮業者瑪莉卡哈蒂：「每個經過的人都對坡道產生興趣，最後還能從遠處看到，能毫無問題的進入這裡，這很棒，它讓每個看到樂高坡道的人，都覺得很開心，這是個絕佳的創意。」
 雖然有不少人質疑，要坐輪椅坡道，可以用木製或是鋁製的器材，為什麼要堅持用樂高積木製作。麗塔解釋，積木的明亮度，能讓坡道成為另類觀光風景，也讓人們意識到無障礙空間的需求。
 德國樂高阿嬤麗塔艾比：「無論是孩子們(看到樂高坡道)會試圖把磚塊拿出來，或大人會拿出手機拍照就是這樣，我只是想稍微提高人們的意識。讓他們思考，如果坐在輪椅上或者是在需要助行器時(的移動)。」
 在丈夫的協助下，麗塔每天都會花費2到3個小時，將數百的樂高積木，拼湊成坡道，儘管他們自費購買樂高積木，還有不少人，會將家中的樂高積木，捐贈給他們製作坡道，但蒐集材料還是有一定難度。
 目前，這樣的創意，已經吸引美國跟德國的學校注意，期盼麗塔的創意能成為學校課程。而奧地利跟瑞士的相關機構，也有計畫要運用這個創意，西班牙更是有旅遊協會跟麗塔保持聯絡，希望能為輪椅使用者提供無障礙旅行。

武漢肺炎疫情延燒，美國國務院19號宣布，將全球旅遊警示，提升到最高的第4級，呼籲民眾避免所有出國活動。紐約州確診人數，19號一夜之間增加1769例，總數突破4千，但州長柯莫拒絕採取封城措施來對抗疫情。美國總統川普，再度譴責中國隱瞞疫情，並說全球為此付出巨大代價。

中國衛健委通報，18號新增確診武漢肺炎的34例，全部都是境外移入，而且包括重災區湖北省在內，中國有31個省市，首度創下單日境內零新增紀錄。美國總統川普被問到，是否相信中國公布的數據時，再度譴責中國隱瞞疫情。
 美國總統川普：「這場災難本來可以不必發生，如果能在發源地中國就擋下來，如果我們知道的話，如果他們知道的話，但現在全世界都遭到這個可怕的病毒襲擊，太糟糕了，這樣太糟了，因為我們的經濟，從未像幾週前那麼好過。」

不只經濟遭受重創，美國的疫情也持續延燒。紐約州確診病例數，19號一夜就增加1769例，總確診人數來到4152例，其中紐約市就增加1129例，總確診人數2469例。美國政府疾病首席傳染病專家安東尼佛西，在接受訪臉書執行長薩克柏格專訪時就指出，疫情爆發重心，已經從中國轉移到歐美國家，他表示：「我們仍處在疫情爆發的升級階段，如你所知，全球國家各個國家都處在不同的疫情爆發階段。」 紐約市長白思豪提出「就地庇護」，類似封城的做法，「我認為紐約客現在就應該，做好就地庇護的準備，目前還不會發生，但在這時刻絕對是有可能的，我相信在未來48小時內將定奪。」但同為民主黨的紐約州長柯莫卻認為沒有必要：「就地庇護大家全部關門不作生意，對我來說這實在太不合理，因為大家必須吃東西、外出。」

為了防堵病毒蔓延，美國國務院19號宣布，將全球旅遊警示提升到最高的第4級，呼籲民眾避免所有出國活動，聲明還指出，在海外的美國公民，除非有心理準備，留在當地一段長時間，否則交通情況許可下，應該要即刻返國。


title: 今公佈 武漢肺炎歕觱仔者李文亮調查報告

content_text:
中國上早煏出「武漢肺炎」這款病症咧湠的醫師李文亮，2月初家己也致病過身，經過一個外月，中國國家監察委員會，公佈調查報告，指責當初武漢市要求李文亮簽甘願字，承認家己生言造語彼个派出所，處理有失妥當，武漢市的公安局也出面會失禮，毋過網路頂頭的意見，是攏講這款調查報告是無誠無意。

被視為是中國武漢肺炎的吹哨者，武漢醫師李文亮，2月初去世引發關注，中國國家監察委員會也成立調查組到武漢，經過一個多月的調查，監委調查組19號公布報告，表示武漢市中南路派出所對李文亮醫師出具訓誡書作為不當，執法程序不規範，調查組已建議湖北省武漢市監察機關對此事進行監督糾正。

武漢市公安局也在微博表示，向當事人家屬鄭重道歉，同時對副所長處以行政記過處分，出具訓誡書的民警則是被行政警告，不過中國官媒新華社報導引用了監委調查組人員說法，將李文亮定調為，"疫情防控中英勇奮戰、作出貢獻和犧牲的醫務人員隊伍中的一員"，為他平反，不過卻特別指出一些敵對勢力要給他貼上，英雄、覺醒者等標籤，是完全不符合事實的，強調李文亮是共產黨員，不是所謂的「反體制人物」。而這樣的說法和調查結果也引發了網友怒火。

而目前中國疫情根據官方說法已經趨緩，20號公布的最新數據，新增39例但都是境外移入，本土維持新增0確診的狀態，但是網友也上網爆出疫情最新狀況，包括19號拍攝到武漢協和醫院外有長長的排隊隊伍，還指出武漢仍然在秘密建設方艙醫院，各地的復工狀況也不像是官方說的那麼理想。

新型冠狀病毒擴散全球，中研院學者王智明認為，既然病毒已經不侷限在中國武漢，台灣也是時候將「武漢肺炎」這個簡稱，改以中立客觀的立場表述，因此發起連署。

美國總統川普近期分別在推特和記者會上，稱新型冠狀病毒為「中國病毒」，引發種族主義論戰。我國中研院有學者認為，此時社會不該隨之起舞，更呼籲「武漢肺炎」的簡稱，應該被更正成比較客觀、中立的稱呼。中研院歐美所副研究員王智明說：「我覺得恰恰正是因為他有這麼一個負面的例子，我們更不應該隨之起舞，所以如果我們還延續這麼一個比較汙名化、歧視性的用法，對我們既沒有任何好處，對於改變歧視的結構也沒有任何幫助。」
 回顧「武漢肺炎」這個稱呼，病毒原先是2019年12月從中國湖北省武漢市開始爆發，當時媒體都稱呼武漢不明肺炎，到了2020年1月，也就是今年初，我國衛福部公告，新增「嚴重特殊傳染性肺炎」為第五類法定傳染病，接著，2月12號世衛WHO命名為「COVID-19」，中國稱為「新冠肺炎」，台灣政府同一天表示，法定名稱不好記，所以可以簡稱「武漢肺炎」，不過這樣的簡稱，也掀起是不是對疾病有汙名化的討論。

政大傳播學院院長郭力昕表示：「武漢肺炎這個字實在會帶有一種偏見跟一種汙名，對不幸從那裡爆發，地區的人跟那個城市，我想新型冠狀病毒或新冠病毒應該比較合適的(稱呼)。」

近期中研院歐美所副研究員王智明發起連署，呼籲政府和社會不該忽視「武漢肺炎」背後隱藏的歧視，獲得800多人響應，其中300多人來自學界，其餘的還有各行各業人士，期待對疾病的稱呼可以有所討論、獲得社會共識。

台灣有2名從西班牙返國的留學生確診，外傳他們曾與其他同學到義大利旅遊，出現症狀後分批回台，佯裝不認識，對於這起留學生群聚，感染科醫師認為，面對這批返國潮，國內趕緊嚴格落實居家檢疫，未來14天將是關鍵期。

新型冠狀病毒在歐洲快速擴散，中央流行疫情指揮中心，確診病例案58、案64、案80是歐洲返國的同校系留學生，研判校園群聚感染機會大，會追蹤所有從該校回國的留學生，外傳有人謊稱彼此不認識等，並隱瞞旅遊史，感染科醫師表示，現在也只能嚴格落實居家檢疫。

台灣感染症醫學會理事長黃立民說：「同時有幾千個人進來，你怎麼可能每個人都疫調清楚，你想疾管署有多少人力、有多少防疫醫師可以去做疫調？這是不可能的，所以不管怎樣，這些人先居家檢疫14天再說。」

醫師分析，病毒在傳播開來後，就會不斷變異，變得更適合在人類身上生存，目前看起來歐洲的病毒株，感染力很強，對於這兩周大批返國潮，也只能呼籲需要居家檢疫者，一定要足不出戶，度過這關鍵14天，至於台灣的現況，醫師認為，目前狀況確實在社區感染的邊緣。

黃立民指出：「有沒有宣布社區傳播社區感染，這主要的差別在於說，第一個你會讓民眾整個警覺心拉得很高；然後你可能會影響他一些日常生活的行為。那可是缺點是說，你也可能造成恐慌，然後像目前這種物資搶購會更厲害。」黃立民認為，指揮中心並未否認零星社區感染，台灣社區目前還守得不錯，不過，目前全世界陸續潮鎖國方向布局，顯示疫情非常嚴峻，民眾一定要小心，勤洗手戴口罩，避免參加不必要的集會活動。

美國重災區紐約市已有超過5百名病患住院，其中將近180名病患在加護病房救治；該市本週每兩天確診人數就翻倍上升。17號晚間923例，18號就暴增到1871例。紐約市長白思豪重砲批評總統川普，防疫未施鐵腕，行事猶豫。

為了加強掌控疫情的力道，紐約市將"預約檢疫"的模式，擴大到10家即時照護醫院、7所社區健康中心，並增設4個"得來速檢疫站"。紐約州全境超過4千確診病例，已有近8百例住院，該州因這波疫情的住院率為19%。紐約州州長柯莫，雖然不認同紐約封州，但為了避免感染持續擴散，19號提升工作人力管控。

紐約一家著名的起司蛋糕店經歷過二戰與911攻擊事件，但這波疫情衝擊，使得原本850名員工，有650人因生意不好而沒工作可做，老闆只好宣布無限期歇業，但仍會支付員工健康保險；他也相信這一切都會過去，紐約會重新站起，他的店也是。

title: Super Rugby risks oblivion as travel bans end games

content_text:
Super Rugby has confronted numerous problems during its 25 years, but experts warn that the COVID-19 pandemic might prove a knockout blow for the premier club rugby union competition in the southern hemisphere.

With 15 teams in five countries straddling 16 time zones from Buenos Aires and Cape Town to Sydney and Christchurch, it has long been criticized as unwieldy, expensive to run and exhausting for elite players.

Now virus-related travel bans have put the competition in limbo, leaving administrators scrambling to set up locally based alternatives that do not require international travel.

While officials say Super Rugby is on hold “for the foreseeable future,” in reality they are preparing for the season to be scrapped.

SANZAAR said such an outcome would place the governing body and its constituent unions “in a precarious position,” as broadcasters have paid huge sums for the rights to cover the game.

“Without that revenue, without the ability to be playing in front of stadiums that have crowds, it all does have a direct impact on the bottom line,” SANZAAR chief executive Andy Marinos told Newshub.

“That’s something I know the national unions are dealing with all of their clubs and then indirectly with all their governments,” Marinos said.

Short-term plans are focused on staging local derbies in New Zealand, Australia and South Africa, with Japan’s Sunwolves potentially part of the Australian competition and the Jaguares of Argentina based in South Africa.

However, that might not satisfy broadcasters.

New Zealand’s Sky Network Television said in a market update this week that “the company has options to recover some costs associated with sports content rights.”

PRO14

In Europe, the suspension of the PRO14 season has been extended indefinitely and the final scheduled for June has been canceled, organizers said on Thursday.

MAJOR LEAGUE RUGBY

In the US, Major League Rugby announced that it too had canceled the remainder of its campaign.

COVID-19 BATTLE:
 The government is drafting another stimulus package after last week’s A$17.6 billion, while banks are offering deferred payments by small businesses

Australia yesterday delayed its federal budget by five months to October, saying the COVID-19 pandemic made it impossible to make sensible economic forecasts, as it prepared to dramatically expand its stimulus spending to avoid recession.

Banks said separately they would defer loan repayments for small businesses impacted by coronavirus for six months at a cost to their bottom lines of A$8 billion (US$4.7 billion), amid fears of massive job losses.

“The idea that you can actually put together any sort of forecast around the economy at this time is simply not sensible,” said Treasurer of Australia Josh Frydenberg, who welcomed the banks’ move as a “game changer.”

The country of 25 million people has seen only seven deaths from the flu-like virus, but its case numbers have jumped to almost 800 in recent days, and the government is stepping up limits on movement, including a ban on all foreign arrivals.

About 2,700 passengers from the Ruby Princess cruise ship that disembarked in Sydney on Thursday were ordered to self-isolate after three of them tested positive for COVID-19.

“Our big concern, the very big concern, is that those people came off the cruise with no knowledge of COVID actually being on their ship,” New South Wales Minister of Health Brad Hazzard said.

In a move presaging a possible shutdown of entertainment venues, Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison urged people to “do the right thing” and keep a distance of 4m2 between each other at indoor gatherings.

Visits to remote indigenous communities would be restricted to protect vulnerable populations, but schools would remain open in the “national interest,” he added.

“At the end of the day, you don’t stop this virus, but you can defeat it by slowing it down. And that is how we save lives,” Morrison told reporters in Canberra.

Fears of a surge in unemployment mounted on Thursday when flagship carrier Qantas Airways told most of its 30,000 employees to take leave, as the virus ravaged the global aviation and tourism industries.

Australian Banking Association chief executive Anna Bligh said small businesses employed about 5 million people in the country, and loan relief was vital if they are to “keep their doors open.”

The loan relief came as the government signaled it would announce further stimulus spending on the weekend.

The size of the package is still be determined, but Australian media reported it could be about 3 to 4 percent of Australia’s A$2 trillion economy, or up to A$80 billion.

Frydenberg last week announced stimulus spending of A$17.6 billion to stop the nation slipping into its first recession in nearly 30 years, with support for the health sector, small businesses and apprentices, among others.

Frydenberg declined to comment on the size of the next package, but told the Australian Broadcasting Corp it was “about cushioning the blow for those Australians who might find themselves out of work.”

The stimulus expected over the weekend would complement a A$100 billion package unveiled on Thursday by the Reserve Bank of Australia and the government.

The Australian central bank yesterday bought A$5 billion of local government bonds, in the first round of its unlimited quantitative easing programme as it looks to cushion the economic shock from the coronavirus pandemic.

In a separate statement, the government said it would buy A$15 billion of residential mortgage-backed securities and other asset-backed securities over the next 12 months.

India, where four men were hanged yesterday for a 2012 gang rape and murder, is among the minority of countries to retain the death penalty.

Nearly three-quarters of world’s 195 states have either abolished the punishment or not carried it out over the past decade, rights group Amnesty International said.

China remains the top executioner, followed by Iran.

However, by the end of 2018, 106 countries had completely abolished the death penalty for all crimes, Amnesty said.

Close to half of them were in Europe and Central Asia.

Another 36 countries retained the death penalty in law, but had not carried out executions for at least 10 years.

Burkina Faso abolished the death penalty in its penal code in June 2018. In February, the Gambia declared a moratorium on executions, as did Malaysia in July.

Guinea and Mongolia abolished it for all crimes in 2017.

At least 690 executions were known to have taken place globally in 2018, a decrease of 31 percent from 2017, Amnesty said.

The figure, the lowest Amnesty had recorded in the past decade, did not include the “thousands” of secret executions believed to have been carried out in China.

Last year’s known executions were in 20 countries, with at least 253 recorded in Iran alone.

Nonetheless, Iran accounted for more than one-third of the executions recorded in 2018.

Top executioners China and Iran were followed by Saudi Arabia (149), Vietnam (85), Iraq (52) and Egypt (43).

Taiwan, Botswana, Sudan and Thailand all resumed executions, but only accounted for six of the global total.

For the 10th consecutive year, the US was the only country on the American continent to execute prisoners, putting to death 25 — two more than in 2017.

Almost 400 people are on death row in India.

OVERWHELMED:
 The pews of Bergamo crematorium’s chapel have been removed to leave space to lay out scores of coffins, but more have been arriving every day

The Italian government has ordered the army to move bodies from a northern town at the center of the COVID-19 outbreak where funeral services have been overwhelmed as the nation prepares for a prolonged emergency lockdown.

Video shot in Bergamo, northeast of Milan, and posted on the Web site of the Eco di Bergamo newspaper, showed a long column of military trucks driving through the streets overnight and removing coffins from the town’s cemetery.

An army spokesman on Thursday confirmed that 15 trucks and 50 troops had been deployed to move bodies to neighboring provinces.

Earlier, Bergamo authorities had appealed for help with cremations after they had overwhelmed its crematorium.

Italy on Wednesday recorded the largest ever one-day increase in coronavirus deaths as the total rose by 475 to almost 3,000.

There were more than 300 deaths in the region of Lombardy alone, where Bergamo is located.

Italy went into virtual lockdown before other European nations, but, with cases still rising, the government is considering even tougher measures that would further restrict the limited amount of outdoor movement permitted.

The Corriere della Sera newspaper on Thursday quoted Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte as saying the government would extend the deadline of emergency measures that have closed schools and many businesses.

Under the measures, most shops are to stay shut until at least Wednesday next week and schools until April 3.

Conte did not say how long the measures would be prolonged.

Officials have said tougher measures could be needed because too many people are not respecting the order to stay at home for all but essential purposes, and thousands are still falling ill.

The images of army trucks evacuating bodies underlined the extent to which health services in the worst-affected northern regions of Italy have been stretched to breaking point by the crisis.

Giacomo Angeloni, the official in charge of cemeteries in Bergamo, said earlier this week that the crematorium was working around the clock and handling about 24 bodies a day, almost twice its normal maximum, and was unable to keep up.

With mortuaries overflowing, the pews of the crematorium’s chapel have been removed to leave space to lay out scores of coffins, but more have been arriving every day.

Lombardy Governor Attilio Fontana said that medical personnel in the region’s hospitals were at their limits.

“I’m worried about the possibility they could succumb physically and psychologically, because if they were to succumb, it really would be a disaster,” Fontana told Radio Capital.

美國人口數上蓋濟的加州，昨昏緊急宣佈「封州」，要求民眾毋通出門行踏。抑美國國務院今嘛表明，將全世界每一个國家，旅遊的警戒攏提升到上懸級，要求國民盡量毋通出國。閣有紐約州，一夜之間是雄雄增加1769个病例，川普總統嘛閣再開聲責備中國，掩崁病症湠開的內幕，才會誤著全地球。

中國衛健委通報，18號新增確診武漢肺炎的34例，全部都是境外移入；而且包括重災區湖北省在內，中國有31個省市，首度創下單日境內零新增紀錄。美國總統川普被問到，是否相信中國公布的數據時，再度譴責中國隱瞞疫情。

不只經濟遭受重創，美國的疫情也持續延燒。紐約州確診病例數，19號一夜就增加1769例，總確診人數來到4152例；其中紐約市就增加1129例，總確診人數2469例。美國政府疾病首席傳染病專家安東尼佛西，在接受訪臉書執行長薩克柏格專訪時就指出，疫情爆發重心，已經從中國轉移到歐美國家。

為了防堵病毒蔓延，美國國務院19號宣布，將全球旅遊警示提升到最高的第4級，呼籲民眾避免所有出國活動；聲明還指出，在海外的美國公民，除非有心理準備，留在當地一段長時間，否則交通情況許可下，應該要即刻返國。

昨昏義大利新增加4百2十7个，致著「武漢肺炎」救無起來的患者，到今有3405个，死亡的病例已經是全世界致著這款症，過往的人數上蓋濟的一國。抑意大利隔壁的Monaco這國，今是連in的領袖Albert親王，也去穢著。抑中東的伊朗，進前已經放8萬幾个犯人出獄，以免就近相穢，這馬有欲閣加，赦免1萬人。

意大利當地時間19號，病例數再度攀升，單日新增4千多例，累積超過4萬例；死亡人數也增加427人，總死亡人數來到3405人，超過中國，成為全球武漢肺炎死亡人數最多的國家。疫情最嚴重的倫巴底大區貝加莫省，病逝者的遺體多到當地墓地無法負荷，得派軍車將遺體送到其他地區火化。由於死亡人數激增，總理孔蒂19號表示，原本全國封鎖到3月25號、學校停課到4月3號的措施，都可能再延後。

鄰近意大利和法國的富有小國摩納哥，王室成員也感染。摩納哥王室19號證實，62歲的艾柏特親王確診武漢肺炎，已接受治療，並在皇宮內隔離辦公。他也是全球第一位公開宣布確診的元首。

歐洲疫情第二嚴重的西班牙，單日新增3千多例，累積病例破1萬8千例，831人死亡。總理桑傑士先前已警告，最糟的時刻還沒到，呼籲全國團結對抗疫情。

西班牙政府也已下令，24號起，關閉全國飯店和旅遊住宿場所，並考慮將閒置的旅館改建成臨時醫院。

而在德國，儘管總理梅克爾多次呼籲民眾提高警覺別外出，部分民眾仍跑上街。第三大城慕尼黑，還有民眾一起坐在戶外座位悠閒喝飲料。德國目前累積病例超過1萬5千例，死亡44人。

法國政府則在18號開始，對外出民眾開罰。首都巴黎的觀光景點，幾乎空無一人。少數人潮聚集在商店和金融機構外。法國累積病例已破萬，372死。

而在英國，倫敦將封城的傳言不斷，首相強生19號信心喊話，強調只要民眾按照政府建議的措施，就可減緩疫情高峰期。

另外中東疫情重災區伊朗，單日再新增千例，病例也破1萬8千例，死亡1284人。為防疫，政府打算再特赦1萬名囚犯，其中部分是政治犯。先前伊朗已暫時釋放8萬多名囚犯。

狗狗真的是人類的好朋友，但是牠們也跟人類一樣，老了就容易生病。而為了讓毛小孩能夠陪自己久一點，許多主人不計代價。美國已經開始把人類治療「心律不整」的手術應用在狗狗身上。

動完心臟手術的狗狗Sophie，見到主人前來，馬上搖著尾巴上前討抱抱，九歲的 Sophie ，換算成人類的年齡，已經步入老年，去年牠動完膝關節手術後突然昏倒，後來發現還有心律不整的毛病，隨時可能發生猝死狀況，主人凱倫決定不計代價治好牠的病，當時賓州大學獸醫學院正在進行相關實驗，Sophie於是成了第一隻實驗狗。

狗狗主人凱倫：「我們不希望眼看著Sophie 承受猝死的高風險，但我們必須接受這是第一次將手術應用在狗狗身上，他們無法保證Sophie一定能夠活下來。」

有趣的是，過去開發新藥或對付疾病，都是拿動物來實驗，但這次像是反過來，特地請來醫治人類心臟疾病的醫師共同參與。
 賓州大學醫學院醫師查布朗：「狗狗其實體積小得多，當Sophie 躺在手術台上，你真的分不出這個手術是動在人或狗身上，我們使用同樣的器材、同樣的系統，使用同樣的技術來找出導致心律不整的位置，我們使用的方法跟用在Sophie身上的很像。」

人類治療心律不整早有成功紀錄，Sophie 動了手術後，果然又生龍活虎起來，牠在過去十年間伴隨凱倫一家人共同成長，已經是家中不可或缺的一份子，凱倫說，即使要花上7千美元，再動一次手術，她也心甘情願，只要Sophie 活得健康長久，繼續留在家人身邊。

美聯儲再次「親自」下場，為美國市政債券提供流動性！

當地時間3月20日，美聯儲表示，波士頓聯儲將通過貨幣市場共同基金流動性便利工具（Money Market Mutual Fund Liquidity Facility，MMLF）增加市政債貨幣市場流動性，為合資格的金融機構提供貸款，使用市政債券擔保的短期貸款利率將是美聯儲的基準利率加25個基點。美聯儲主席鮑威爾在今年2月出席國會聽證會時表示，自上世紀70年代以來，美聯儲就沒有購買過市政債券。

美聯儲於當地時間3月18日宣布再次動用其緊急權利，推出貨幣市場共同基金流動性工具（MMLF），該工具將一直持續到今年9月。即銀行等存款儲蓄機構可通過MMLF獲得美聯儲的貸款，擔保品為該金融機構從貨幣市場共同基金收購的高級別資產，而因MMLF規定的合格擔保品主要為商業票據，也被市場視為是對前幾天前重啟的商業票據融資工具（CPFF）的補充。

在3月20日的文件中，美聯儲擴大了MMLF擔保品的範圍，將市政短期債務（12個月期以內）也納入其中。

據investing.com數據顯示，由於美國地方州和政府正面臨失業率飆升和經濟活動下降的問題，投資者從市政債券基金撤出了超100億美元。3月19日，受疫情影響，美國失業人數大幅提升，3月8日至14日全美申請失業救濟的人數達28.1萬人，比前一周增加了7萬人。

高盛此前曾評論稱，由於銀行中介能力有瓶頸，美聯儲最終還得自己下場。美聯儲的定期回購無法解決其他融資市場供給中斷的問題，因為銀行的中介能力仍然處於瓶頸。

原標題：全球央行降息 中國暫「不跟」

在全球央行降息的大環境下，中國LPR（貸款市場報價利率）有了最新報價。據銀行間同業拆借中心3月20日公佈，1年期LPR為4.05%，5年期以上LPR為4.75%，均較上次報價保持不變。

當前新冠肺炎疫情在海外肆虐，由於擔憂疫情衝擊經濟，自3月初以來，美國、加拿大、紐西蘭、澳大利亞、英國、埃及等20多個國家央行宣布降息。國內LPR報價不變讓不少業內人士感到略超預期。受訪人士認為，我國復工復產情況明顯好轉，經濟自身恢復加快，當前LPR再次調降的緊迫性似乎不大。此外，150萬億存量貸款從3月開始挂鉤LPR，如果連續降低貸款利率，或也會讓銀行吃不消。多位受訪人士認為，後續存在降息、全面降准乃至存款利率調整的可能，預計我國貨幣政策釋放會更精準且實施力度更為溫和。

3月LPR為何「原地踏步」？

此前，1年期、5年期以上LPR曾在2月「雙降」。其中，1年期LPR下降10個基點至4.05%，5年期以上LPR下降5個基點至4.75%。

「略超預期」是不少受訪人士對3月LPR報價不變的評價，原因是本周5500億元定向降准剛剛落地。

中國民生銀行首席研究員溫彬表示，通過年初和3月16日定向降准落地疊加，再加上5000億元再貸款再貼現額度，降低了支農支小再貸款利率0.25個百分點，都對降低銀行成本有作用，但沒有反映到LPR報價上。LPR挂鉤的MLF（中期借貸便利）操作，在銀行體系資金來源中的佔比較低，所以目前從銀行整個負債結構看，MLF、降准等對銀行負債成本下降都相對有限。

不過在今年1月降准落地后，LPR利率也未調整，且去年8月報價機制改革以來，LPR還沒有過連續兩個月下降的記錄。

申萬宏源證券首席固定收益分析師孟祥娟認為，LPR未下調略低於市場預期，但考慮年初至今已經下調過10個基點，同時疊加定向降准，流動性寬鬆，短期預計貨幣政策暫時以加大向實體傳導為主。從昨天債券和權益市場的表現看，並未受到太多影響。

2月LPR調降，是在逆回購、MLF等政策工具利率連降的背景下，且當時國內疫情態勢正處在最嚴峻時刻。蘇寧金融研究院高級研究員陶金對記者表示，現階段我國疫情控制較好，復工復產情況明顯好轉，經濟自身恢復速度也在加快，LPR的調降緊迫性似乎並不大。但經濟長期下行壓力下，LPR暫時不變將增加未來降息的概率。

中南財經政法大學數字經濟研究院執行院長盤和林還提到，現階段LPR進一步下行對市場的影響有限，反而會加大商業銀行的資金成本壓力，因為央行於今年3月1日起正式切換存量浮動利率貸款定價基準，即將原合同約定的利率定價方式轉換為以LPR為定價基準加點形成，目前市場存量貸款規模約150萬億，LPR轉換需要時間，頻繁下調LPR會使得政策的邊際效用減弱，等商業銀行利率換錨工作有更多進展時再引導LPR下行，對實體經濟的政策效果會更明顯。

降低存款利率傳導低成本資金亦有可能

央行近日明確提出了對未來貸款利率明顯下降的要求，引導銀行體系適當向實體經濟讓利，降低企業融資成本。在這一背景下，業內對是否該降低存款基準利率也討論十分熱烈。

孟祥娟表示，考慮到金融機構的負債端剛性較強，為引導實體經濟融資成本下行，降存款利率仍有可能。陶金認為，從長期看，LPR持續降低的基礎是代表更大規模負債成本的存款基準利率調降，同時未來存款方面的市場化改革也將持續推進，存款利率的調降也應在市場化改革框架下通過市場手段開展。

溫彬分析稱，在銀行負債中，企業和居民部門存款佔60%以上，如果想降低實體融資成本，那麼要銀行負債成本降低，降低存款基準利率是首選，通過銀行負債成本下降，可以通過LPR新機制繼續引導LPR下行。

盤和林也認為，通過下調存款利率來給銀行減負的可能性很大，目前商業銀行的利差被持續收縮，此次LPR報價未進一步下調，也說明商業銀行在凈息差收窄壓力的情況下不願意再降低報價利率，未來央行定會出台相關政策降低商業銀行資金成本壓力。適當下調存款基準利率有助於緩解商業銀行凈息差收窄壓力，為銀行降低貸款利率提供空間，進而促進LPR報價明顯下行。

■ 影響

對購房者心理影響較大

自3月開始換錨的150萬億存量貸款中，也包括不少人每月支出「大頭」的房貸。以按100萬房貸、等額本息償還30年計算，5年期以上LPR下降5個基點，月供額會減少31元。

盤和林認為，商業銀行目前利率轉錨工作是平行轉錨，比如之前貸款利率是6%，5年期以上LPR是4.75%，那麼轉錨后就變成（4.75+1.25%），等於利率沒變。而轉換工作從3月1日開始，等轉錨工作有更多進展后，再降LPR對實體經濟的效果比較好，所以目前LPR再降對市場影響有限，特別是對存量來說。

新增貸款自2019年10月開始已經挂鉤LPR。中原地產首席分析師張大偉對記者表示，降息不僅對購房者實際購房成本有影響，對他們心理影響較大。降息降準會被購房者認為是買房的衝鋒號，不降息就沒有了這個影響。特別是在最近海外比賽降息的時候，國內選擇「按兵不動」，在市場逐漸復甦的情況下，降息落空會影響房地產的購房者信心。

易居研究院智庫中心研究總監嚴躍進認為，雖然LPR利率本身沒有調整，但是預計全國各地商業銀行近期的實際房貸利率會有下調的可能。此前部分商業銀行降低首付比例受到了外界的關注，首付政策的調整面臨一定的阻力。所以就目前商業銀行的重心來看，降低貸款利率或是近期調整的方向。此類調整，既惠及購房者的按揭貸款，也惠及開發商的開發貸款，總體上有助於降低購房者和房企的相應成本。

■ 分析

降息全面降准預計「在路上」

在全球降息潮下，業內人士普遍表示，我國後續的貨幣政策空間更大，降息和全面降准預計「在路上」。

陶金表示，近幾年以來，中國貨幣政策受全球降息潮的影響一直較小，央行一直保持著較強的政策定力和及時的決斷力。隨著降息潮進一步襲來，中國很可能成為全球唯一堅持抵抗負利率的主要國家，中國貨幣政策與其他國家一定程度上脫鉤也更加明顯，但同時意味著不論是從利率水平還是準備金率等方面來看，我國貨幣政策空間很大。

從國內影響是否降息的因素看，通脹一直是一大掣肘因素，2月CPI仍在5%以上。溫彬表示，通脹如果扣除翹尾因素，以及食品漲價結構性因素，通脹水平還是相對保持在較低水平。所以隨著下階段食品價格漲幅回落，通脹水平有望進一步下降，我國貨幣政策空間還是存在，可以再進一步降准、降息，可以引導市場利率穩中有降，更重要的是引導降低實體經濟融資成本。

在政策實施節奏和力度方面，盤和林認為，相較於美國一次性大水漫灌，釋放多種貨幣政策，我國的貨幣政策釋放更加精準且實施力度更為溫和，後期貨幣政策空間較大。央行今後仍將在保持流動性合理充裕的情況下，進一步降低實體經濟的融資成本，未來可採用的貨幣政策包括定向或全面降准、OMO降息、MLF及TMLF操作等，考慮到央行在不斷優化「三檔兩優」存款準備金率框架，預計二季度還會有一次定向或全面降准措施，以增強商業銀行的信貸投放能力。此外，待商業銀行貸款利率換錨工作取得較大進展后，下半年央行可能會加大引導LPR下行的力度，切實降低實體經濟的融資成本。

正與疫情奮戰的義大利，過去一天再增加4千多例，累積超過4萬例。單日新增427人死亡，總死亡人數來到3405人，已超過中國的3245例，成為全球死亡病例數最多的國家。

義大利民防局長波瑞里：「很不幸地，今天(19號)我們登記了，427起新增死亡病例。」

義大利當地時間19號，病例數再度攀升，單日新增4千多例，累積超過4萬例，死亡人數也增加427人，總死亡人數來到3405人，超過中國，成為全球武漢肺炎死亡人數最多的國家。疫情最嚴重的倫巴底大區貝加莫省，病逝者的遺體多到當地墓地無法負荷，得派軍車將遺體送到其他地區火化。由於死亡人數激增，總理孔蒂19號表示，原本全國封鎖到3月25號、學校停課到4月3號的措施，都可能再延後。

鄰近義大利和法國的富有小國摩納哥，王室成員也感染。摩納哥王室19號證實，62歲的艾柏特親王確診武漢肺炎，已接受治療，並在皇宮內隔離辦公。他也是全球第一位公開宣布確診的元首。

美國路易斯安那州有一粒貝斯女王島，是布袋鳥主要的休息地，過去因為墨西哥灣漏油事件，影響in的生存，惹事的英(國)石油公司，也賠錢佇這个所在起布袋鳥保護區。

路易斯安那州官員為重建的水鳥庇護區揭牌同時表示，過去人類對牠們棲地所造成的傷害長達10年，現在要還給牠們更乾淨、更安全的家。各界也希望今年夏天，貝斯女王島，能跟往年一樣有約6500隻褐鵜鶘，以及約3000隻較小的水鳥遷徙到這裡築巢。

2010年墨西哥灣漏油事件，造成11人死亡，87天內超過1億加侖的原油洩漏。當時貝斯女王島72公里海岸線布滿油汙，褐鵜鶘全身浸泡在黑色汙泥的景象極為駭人，島上許多植被遭毀，造成的生態浩劫引發全球擔憂。肇事的英國石油公司賠償200億美元，其中部分金額用來擴建養護1700公頃的海岸跟小島，今年還將投入8億美元，持續重建工程。

為了迎接褐鵜鶘，最近還可見到工作人員將撿來的樹枝運往貝斯女王島，協助築巢繁殖，儘管牠們不一定會用，但也代表著重生，與人類對牠們的歡迎。 記者黃韻玲 報導

title: 險資今年第六例舉牌 頻頻瞄準H股原因何在？

content_text:
險資又舉牌了，又是大型險企，又是H股。

3月20日，中國人壽在保險業協會網站公告，增持並舉牌中廣核電力H股（1816.HK）股票。根據公告，截至3月13日，中國人壽對中廣核電力H股持股11.17億股，占其H股股本比例10.005%，超過10%的二度舉牌線。

這是中國人壽系今年以來的第二例舉牌，上月剛舉牌農業銀行H股。

這也是今年險資舉牌的第6例，險資整體舉牌的動作明顯升溫。除國壽系2例外，還有太平人壽舉牌大悅城、華泰資產舉牌國創高新，以及2月份太保系接連舉牌錦江資本H股、贛鋒鋰業H股等案例。

自中國平安舉牌工商銀行H股后，大型險企增持H股、舉牌H股的案例日漸增多，這樣的搭配是如何形成的？

國壽系二度舉牌中廣核電力H股

根據中國人壽20日公告，截至3月13日，中國人壽對中廣核電力H股持股11.17億股，占其H股股本比例10.005%，超過10%的二度舉牌線。

去年7月25日，國壽系首度舉牌中廣核電力H股。當時中國人壽和國壽富蘭克林合計對中廣核電力持股56025.2萬股，持股比例達到5.019%。

3月13日，中國人壽通過港股通從港股二級市場買入中廣核電力，當日買入600萬股股份，使其持股比例從9.952%突破10%，達到10.005%。截至13日，持有中廣核電力H股股票的賬面餘額為17.69億元。

權益類資產佔比方面，因中國人壽為上市公司，去年末數據暫未披露，去年三季末該公司權益資產賬面餘額為6483.52億元，占當時總資產的17.96%。加上3月13日持有中廣核電力股票賬面金額，合計為6501.21億元，佔去年三季末總資產的18.01%。

中國人壽稱，買入中廣核電力H股股票的資金來源為保險責任準備金，並將這一投資納入境外股票投資管理。

國壽系今年舉牌的第二例

再度舉牌中廣核電力H股，是中國人壽今年以來舉牌的第二例。上月，國壽系剛舉牌農業銀行H股。

2月17日，中國人壽集團整體（含國壽集團、中國人壽）首度舉牌農行H股，合計持有農業銀行H股15.38億股，約佔農行H股股本的5.003%。此後又連續兩天增持，到 2月19日，中國人壽集團整體持有農行H股16.13億股，占農行H股總數的5.247%，其中中國人壽壽險公司一家持股15.38億股、占農行H股比例5.0018%。

國壽系的舉牌自去年增多，去年8月以後相繼舉牌了中廣核電力H股、萬達信息、中國太保H股，密集舉牌在國壽往年的投資中並不常見，受到市場關注。

對此，中國人壽副總裁趙鵬曾在去年8月舉行的2019年半年度業績發佈會表示，舉牌是其公開市場權益投資的一部分，總體思路是在估值低位、合理區間布局長期核心資產，包括具有穩定盈利、較好的分紅潛力等要求。舉牌絕大部分是作為財務投資，作為可供出售金融資產進行核算，避免市值波動影響利潤表。他同時表示，會持續關注更多優質投資標的，不排除未來基於長期考慮戰略投資一家企業。

也有保險投資人士對券商中國記者分析表示，中國人壽舉牌動作的集中出現，可能也有投資時點的巧合，並不一定是要全面發力和舉牌舉不停，畢竟舉牌需要大量資金。

今年還有太平、太保、華泰等險資舉牌

除中國人壽外，今年以來多家險資也有舉牌行為，包括太平人壽、華泰資產、太平洋保險等4次舉牌。

1月3日，太平人壽公告完成舉牌大悅城非公開發行股份，投資金額19.07億元。據披露，2019年12月16日，太平人壽與大悅城簽署了股票認購協議。此後，通過參與申購本次大悅城非公開發行股份，太平人壽獲配約2.83億股，獲配股數佔大悅城本次非公開發行后總股本的6.61%，對應投資金額19.07億元。太平人壽本次認購大悅城非公開發行股份的資金來源為保險責任準備金。

2華泰資產舉牌國創高新

1月9日，華泰資產耗資2.79億元受讓國創高新7330萬股票。據披露，1月9日，華泰資產發行並管理的「華泰資產-創贏系列專項產品（第1期）」賬戶通過協議轉讓方式，從轉讓方國創高科實業集團處受讓上市公司國創高新（股票代碼：002377.SZ）7330萬股股份，持股比例7.9993%，達到了5%的舉牌線，交易金額為約2.79億元。該項交易前，「華泰資產-創贏系列專項產品（第1期）」未投資過國創高新。此次舉牌資金來源為「華泰資產-創贏系列專項產品」向合格投資者所募集的資金。

3太保壽險舉牌錦江資本H股

2月19日，太保壽險通過受託管理人太保資管管理的QDII賬戶直接在香港市場買入錦江資本H股股份。舉牌前，太保壽險持有錦江資本6949.4萬股，舉牌后持有錦江資本6978.6萬股，占其香港流通股比例約為5.015%。以2020年2月19日錦江資本收盤價和港元兌人民幣匯率0.90為基準，太保壽險持有的錦江資本股票的賬面餘額為0.89億元，占太保壽險2019年四季度總資產的比例約為0.007%。

4太保系舉牌贛鋒鋰業H股

2月24日，太保集團及控股子公司合計買入贛鋒鋰業H股股票240.52萬股，加上此前持有贛鋒鋰業H股股票791.72萬股，太保系合計持有的贛鋒鋰業H股股票達到1032.24萬股，占贛鋒鋰業已發行H股股票的5.16%。

險資本輪舉牌潮的變化

作為A股第二大機構投資者，保險資金的動向受市場關注，頻頻舉牌此前也一度成為焦點。

保險業界認為，基於對行業、公司等的看好，保險資金增持和舉牌上市公司股票，對上市公司而言，利於公司價值為市場所發現，利於獲得資本長期支持；對保險資金而言，可以賺取投資收益。作為長期財務投資的險資的投資動作，對股市也是不可或缺的一部分，也可以起到穩定作用。

本輪舉牌有一個相對明確的時間點。此前，受「寶萬之爭」影響，險資舉牌一度沉寂。2018年以來，險資在實體經濟發展中的作用被重新認識，以及2018年10月銀保監會發聲鼓勵險資投資優質上市公司，險資舉牌逐步回溫。據券商中國記者統計，2018年、2019年險資舉牌上市公司案例各有10次和8次，多於2017年的7次。進入2020年，目前不到3個月時間內，險資更已6度舉牌。

需要注意的是，本輪險資舉牌上市公司，與此前一輪非友好的「野蠻人」式舉牌相比，在舉牌主體、方式、目標等方面都有明顯區別。

從舉牌主體上看，上一輪多以中小險企為主，本輪則是國壽、平安、太保、太平等大型險企為主，大型險企更加穩健，注重價值增長。舉牌方式也更加豐富，除了二級市場買買買以外，還包括協議受讓、參與定向增發等方式，也有一定財務或戰略投資考慮。舉牌資金來源方面，較少來源於萬能險資金，多來自於自有資金、保險責任準備金、募集資金等。

更重要的，從舉牌驅動力上，險資此輪舉牌既有外在因素也有內在需求。一是政策上鼓勵保險資金髮揮長期穩健投資優勢，為民營經濟發展提供更多長期資金支持；二是逐漸完善的資本市場將持續獎勵業績優良且穩健增長的個股，符合險資價值投資需求；三是應對新金融工具會計準則調整需要，逐步在精選的個股上增加投資，保持權益投資收益乃至整個投資收益的穩定。

從本輪險資舉牌潮的標的上看，呈現出一定共性，具備高分紅、低估值、高ROE等特徵。如中廣核電力近年派息穩定增長。該公司表示，在2018年度每股派息基礎上，於2019年、2020年兩個財政年度保持每股派息適度增長，長期將為股東提供穩定且適度增長的股息回報。

中廣核電力近年派息情況

為何頻頻舉牌H股？

另外，此輪險資舉牌還有一個值得關注的現象是，舉牌標的更多出現H股。從此前中國平安舉牌並多次增持工商銀行H股，到最近一輪中國人壽舉牌的中廣核電力H股、中國太保H股、農業銀行H股，以及太保系舉牌的錦江資本H股、贛鋒鋰業H股。

保險資管人士對券商中國記者稱，主要是H股估值低。如果是財務投資目的的話，A股和H股分紅一樣，但是由於H股相較A股往往有折價，因此購買H股更划算。H股入手成本較低，但可以實現與A股同等的分紅。

以中國人壽舉牌的中廣核電力來說，3月20日收盤后， A股（中國廣核）價格比H股價格高出103%。

「我了解情況，大家長線還是比較看好的，包括港股市場。」一家中型保險資管分管權益的副總裁近日向券商中國記者分析，現在港股市場國企指數、恆指的估值大概為0.85倍PB，這屬於過去30多年來的底部區域了。「過去恆指和國企指數在1倍PB以下，持續時間基本上很少超過半年的，所以從長遠一點來看的話，確實中國的資產包括港股都很便宜。」

險資有意增配權益資產

2月中旬，在國內疫情蔓延期間，中國保險資產管理業協會聯合中再資產曾調研百位保險資管人士對疫情影響的觀點。調查顯示，在大類資產配置上，未來一個季度，權益類資產成為受訪者最願意增配的資產類別；在符合監管要求的前提下，近57%的受訪者願意增加2~6個百分點的權益資產配置比例。

3月中旬以來，外圍市場大跌，導致A股再次下探。多位保險投資人士對券商中國記者稱，對A股市場有信心，樂觀情緒來自疫情控制住、復工、轉型、改革和開放。

上述保險資管副總裁表示，中國市場的優勢在於：一是疫情率先控制住了，這也是市場前期信心較強的原因；二是我國已經出了一些大力度的貨幣政策、財政政策，包括產業政策、刺激消費的政策等，給了市場信心。更重要的是，現在政策的空間仍然比較大；三是我國兩三年就前開始去槓桿、去產能、調結構，有一定的出清，也夯實了經濟和市場基礎。

他認為，2008年金融危機以後，之所以美國市場出現10年牛市和良好經濟表現，一個重要原因就是美國2008年先出清了槓桿。「這次中國實際上是先做了這個事情，去槓桿、去產能、調結構、供給側改革，相當於提前把經濟夯實了。因此從這個時點來看，中國比美國有優勢，政策空間也比較大，這也是未來中國長期看好的一個很重要的原因。」

「可能經過短暫的全球資本撤離，一旦外部市場穩定了，隨著中國資本市場、金融市場的開放和國內改革大的趨勢，A股和人民幣資產還是一個非常好的選擇。」他稱，過去10年是發達市場表現比國內好，未來10年，有可能是中國為代表的新興市場會更好一些。

另外，受訪人士表示，從各類資產分析，特別是從股、債的性價比角度，在當前的低利率水平以及利率下行期高收益優質資產少的情況下，股票的長期吸引力還是很高的。

針對外界關切新冠肺炎疫情對2020東京奧運籌備進度造成的影響，國際奧會於2020年3月17日發布公報，表示現階段仍致力於如期舉行2020年東京奧運會，並密集與各國際單項運動總會、運動員代表及各國家奧會進行諮商會議。

中華奧會於3月19日參與國際奧會與亞洲區共45個國家奧會進行的視訊會議，國際奧會主席Thomas Bach在會議中重申公報重點，表示國際奧會將以負責任的態度行事，以運動員為核心考量，同時與世界衛生組織、東京奧運籌備會、日本及東京都政府組成專案小組，密切監控疫情發展，並請各界共同合作遏制病毒的擴散。

為順利舉辦2020東京奧運，國際奧會將遵循下列2項原則：
 1. 保護所有人員的健康，支持遏制病毒的擴散。
 2. 保障運動員及奧林匹克運動的權益。

Thomas Bach主席已與各國共220名運動員代表舉行電話會議，並再次重申運動員的健康福祉為首要考量，強調不會因經濟利益而堅持舉辦。有關東京奧運參賽資格，截至目前已有57%的選手取得資格，仍有43%的參賽席次尚未分配。國際奧會與各國際運動總會將依下列原則，針對取得資格的規定進行務實且必要的調整。
 1. 所有已分配之席次仍歸原取得之國家奧會及選手。
 2. 在能維持公平參賽的前提下，透過現有資格賽事分配。
 3. 針對取得參賽資格的規定及所有剩餘席次的分配進行必要調整：
 A. 依照比賽成績，如國際排名或過去成績，及
 B. 符合現有奧運資格取得規定的原則，如採用排名或洲際/區域賽事成績。

中華奧會孫立群顧問表示，面對新冠肺炎全球延燒，雖然我國疫情相對穩定，但對於像奧運這樣的大型國際賽事，必須審慎面對。中華奧會將持續觀察國際疫情動態，並與國際奧會、東京奧運籌備會及體育署保持緊密聯繫，以代表團的安全與健康為最優先考量，現階段全力準備組團工作，以東京奧運如期參賽為目標，目前代表團陣容中也規畫防疫專家隨行，讓中華代表團能夠沒有後顧之憂的出國比賽、為國爭光。

全球央行掀起降息潮，藉此因應新冠肺炎疫情造成金融市場劇烈波動，所帶來的資金流動性問題，然而，房產專家章定煊在臉書表示，以現在利率來說，根本降無可降，除了量化寬鬆，也沒別招，經濟接下來就是在貨幣氾濫、通縮、經濟不振矛盾循環。

美國聯準會(Fed)上周日晚間緊急宣布降息4碼，將基礎利率調低到0%-0.25%，宣告走回2008年金融危機後7年的零利率時代，澳洲、香港以及南韓紛紛宣布跟進，台灣也抵擋不住壓力，宣布降息1碼，重貼現率由1.375％調降至1.125％，為2016年以來首次降息，更打破金融危機時「彭淮南防線」，創下史上利率最低點。

章定煊指出，過去十幾二十年來，從1997亞洲金融風暴以來，全球經濟出現怪現象：主要經濟體瘋狂在金融體系灌注準備金，貨幣供給如火箭般上升，但通膨率卻越來越低，幾乎進入通縮，經濟持續不振，但股市、房市卻是一飛衝天。

由於經濟結構未變，降息無效，持續重啟貨幣寬鬆、貨幣供給狂飆，市場利率趨近於零，經濟成長率與通貨膨脹率疲軟，股市、房市不斷走高，貧富差距越來越大，民眾哀莫大於心死。章定煊提到，這些年來一直不會太看淡房市，強調要觀察貨幣政策，也就是說「不是我看好房市，是我看爛貨幣」，所以一定要投資理財，手上的購買力才不會被壞蛋騙走。

章定煊解釋，全球貨幣制度腐爛，交易媒介、記帳單位等貨幣功能還算能勉強支撐，但價值儲藏幾乎完全喪失功能。全球貨幣制度會走向衰敗，包括紙幣本位制，以及金融自由化這兩種制度影響，衍生性金融商品更是幫兇，加上美元濫發，全球金融體制進入惡性循環。

也因如此，民眾才會找尋保值的實質資產，包括黃金，甚至是房市，「每次看到千元鈔上面的四個小朋友，有智慧才看得見，他們嚴重營養不良，日益瘦弱」。章定煊表示，大國不仁，以全球為芻狗，民眾就是被金融巨鱷跟國家機器聯手收割的肥羊。

全球股市大崩盤，台股也無法倖免！三月以來，台股跌勢加劇，投資人幾乎斷腸，不過高檔跑掉，或是手上銀彈充足的人，正在等待一個難得的好買點，這可能是下一個財富重分配的重要轉折點。

這兩天接到很多朋友的電話或傳簡訊來詢問，一家績優公司的董監事說，我們公司ＥＰＳ超過一個股本，帳上現金七、八十億，未分配盈餘一百三十幾億，保留盈餘一五○億元以上，股價掉到八十幾元，殖利率七％以上，這合理？同樣的也有上市公司董事長跳出來喊不合理，像友達董事長彭浪跳出來喊話說，友達帳上現金超過八○○億，市值還不到七○○億，不小心可能被吃掉。

股票大跌後，便宜的企業愈來愈多，十七日台股大跌，達新開盤不久即上漲逾五％，股價從四三．一元拉升到四六．二元，聰明的投資人顯然已經發現達新的價值，這一波從五八．九元跌到四一．○五元，市值跌到剩下八一．二七億元。大家都記得二月達新把大遠百旁的二五九三．四七坪土地賣給興富發，售價是八三．七五億元，達新單是賣掉這塊土地得到的現金就超過股價市值，今年這塊土地出售的處分利益五○．六五億元，預計第二季會入帳，ＥＰＳ將達二五．五八元。

達新已公布二○一九年全年淨利六．九八億，ＥＰＳ三．六五元，將配發三．六五元現金，同時宣布減資三成，股東每股可退回三元，股本也將從十九．八億減為十三．八六億元，每位股東可拿回六．六五元現金，而今年出售土地的利得入帳，減資三成後，單是售地利益創造的ＥＰＳ就高達三六．五元，如果把錢拿來分配給股東，或是保留一半，剩下一半拿來改善製程、添購設備，或投資創投、投資新創事業，現在達新這個價位充滿了投資機會。

還有在這一波大跌中，可成率先宣布執行二萬五千張庫藏股，這也是大股東自救發出的訊號。可成是績優的機殼廠，股價最高來到四○二元，是台灣很績優的上市公司，現在手上有六九○億現金，過去十年，ＥＰＳ都超過二○元，二○一八年最高達三六．三一元，去年受貿易戰影響，ＥＰＳ降為十四．六三元，股價也跌到一七三元，這是可成寫下的七年新低價，大股東大手筆買進庫藏股，這可能也是股價的轉折點。

也有的投資人想要趁機摸底，他問我華航跌到六塊多，可不可以買？我的看法傾向保留，因為航空業是微利又艱難的「慘業」，這次疫情把全球航空股都打趴了，像巴菲特投資達美航空，這次從六二．四八美元一口氣跌到三○．六美元，精明如巴菲特的老先知，仍然難敵這次疫情殺傷力，美國航空從五九．○八美元跌到十二美元，更是可怕。

航空、郵輪產業受重創

台灣的華航與長榮航空都跌破面額，長榮航空在金融海嘯的時候一度跌到五．七一元，華航也跌到五．○一元，這次疫情殺傷力遠超過金融海嘯，武漢肺炎已造成全球互相鎖國，出國旅行的人會面對大家責難，航空業的災難像郵輪一般，可能不要隨意預測底部，像是郵輪股票，從來沒有看過那麼低的價錢，但這次受人矚目的鑽石公主號船東嘉年華集團股價最高七二．七美元，現在跌到十四．五美元；另一家皇家加勒比海從一三五．六五美元跌到二八．六一美元，在短短一個月光景，股價一下子掉了八成，這是難以想像的大災難；另一家挪威郵輪更是直接從五九．七八美元重重摔落到九．六美元，股價一個月暴跌八四％，市值剩下二○億美元，這才叫大災難！

這次肺炎疫情重創全世界航空及郵輪產業，不支的航商可能會倒閉，大家看到香港公布二月到港旅客只有十九．九萬人次，中國本地旅客到港只有九．七萬人次，一到二月到港旅客衰退九七．七％，香港機場停滿了飛機，這是史無前例的慘況，因此，航空股不能買！

這次運氣最不好的人可能是張國煒，他拿著爸爸留給他的二百多億遺產，大手筆展開他的航空夢，先從三架飛機開始，以澳門、蜆港、檳城為航點，春節前，星宇航空成了ＦＢ打卡景點，沒想到肺炎疫情快速蔓延，星宇才剛踏出第一步，這回受到撞擊可能前所未見。

我的這位朋友也問我，波音可不可以買？我的答案是肯定的，一方面波音是美國的國家隊，全世界造飛機的航空企業只有空中巴士及波音，空巴代表法國，波音代表美國，除非美國垮了，波音才會不存在，這次波音從去年737 MAX出問題前的四四六．○一美元高價慘跌到一○一．二五美元，跌幅七七．三％，市值最慘只剩下五七一．二八億美元，市值居然比已經腰斬一半的Tesla的七九二億美元還低很多，到底波音有價值？還是Tesla？不同產業不能拿來比，但Tesla、波音可能都是這一波大跌勢中值得留意的目標。

從元月二十三日武漢封城迄今，現在全世界大家一起封城，這樣的大瘟疫應該是一九一八年西班牙大流感以來所僅見，到三月十八日為止，全球確診病例一九五九八八個病例，已造成七九三五人死亡，而疫情起源的中國，確診病例八一○六三，死亡三二三○，值得注意的是十七日中國只增加二六個確診，三個死亡病例，但是歐洲卻全境大爆發，十七日中國以外的確診病例一一四九二五，死亡病例四七○五，已大大超越了中國，這是一個值得注意的拐點。

十七日這一天，義大利一天增加三五二六個病例，三四五個死亡病例，累積確診三一五○六個，死亡二五○三人，西班牙一天增加一八○六個確診，一九一個死亡，累積是一一七四八個確診，五三三個死亡，其他德國、英國、法國、挪威、瑞士、荷蘭都成了重災區，這也難怪這次新北市中和的一個里長揪團遊西班牙會成眾矢之的。

疫情席捲全球釀股災

疫情正席捲全世界，也造成全球前所未見的股災，這一波美股一下大漲，一下子又大跌，成了全世界的重災區，美國道瓊指數在這一個月之內，指數從二九五六八．五七跌到十七日最低一九八八二．二六，重挫九六八六點，跌幅高達三二．七五％，S&P 500從三三九三．五二跌到二三六七．○四，下跌一○二六．四八，跌幅三○．二四％，Nasdaq從九八三八．三重挫到六八二八．九一，跌了三○○九．四六，跌幅是三○．五％，費城半導體從一九八三．七一跌到一二八二．六九，跌了三五．三％，而被瘟疫擊倒的歐洲，德國股市從一三七九五．二四跌到八二五五．六五，重挫四○．一五％，法國受創比德國更慘重，馬克洪把這次武漢肺炎比擬成戰爭，法國全面封城，股市重挫四七％，義大利股市最早腰斬，這是難以想像的慘況。（全文未完）

國安基金進場護盤除了扭曲市場機制也是極度不公平的分配，一樣是股民，為什麼大立光漲停板，兆遠跌停板。

根據證券交易法第155條第一項第七款，對於在證券交易所上市之有價證券，不得有下列各款之行為：直接或間接從事其他影響集中交易市場有價證券交易價格之操縱行為。

國安基金3/20進場護盤，沒有條件期限，5000億法定額度內隨時進場點火，只要是不理性下跌就會進場。點火用白話講就是敲進一筆大單吸引散戶跟單拉抬股價，這不是影響行情？不算操縱行為？理不理性如何定義？設立國安基金與證券交易法互相矛盾，主管機關帶頭錯誤示範。

政府不應干預股市，供需決定價格，多空都該是被尊重的投資方向。大股東為利益護盤，主力為出貨護盤，國安基金為護盤而護盤。大陸股市干預措施之多，硬拉後來也是破底。惡劣的放空條件空頭逆來順受慣了，也沒差多一個國安基金拉股票，國安基金買股票除了扭曲市場機制也是極度不公平的分配，一樣是股民，為什麼大立光漲停板，兆遠跌停板，偏心！有幾個散戶套大立光？買得起大立光的人不用幫吧。

股票市場最殘忍的事，就是被斷頭後股票拉到漲停板。誰在斷頭後趁人之危？

即使融資斷頭資金所剩不多，自然落底仍有機會以更便宜價格買回股票。國安基金在融資斷頭後拉股票，剝奪財富重新分配的機會。

3/20成交金額前十名股票，國安基金會不會買？包括台積電、國巨、聯發科、鴻海、玉晶光、玉山金、鈊象、環球晶、穩懋、華新科。前幾天融資斷頭被迫強制賣出股票的人，眼睜睜看著國安基金進場，斷頭的股票漲停板，是否會「不發一語、內心矛盾」。

誰說國安基金買的股票不能放空？沒看過護盤護到下市嗎？

投信基金買賣股票經理人必出具研究報告，國安基金也叫基金，規模更高達5000億，下單前有先CALL公司？參加法說？寫研究報告？還是隨他高興，隨便他買。買孫道存掏空的太電、葉素菲掏空的博達、洪登順掏空的洪氏英，這些股票合計虧損4.9億，由全民買單。去投保中心申請求償大名登記國安基金？下市的股票跟護盤能扯什麼關係，該不會是鬼關係？

不須交代動機，買進的股票消失，國安基金來無影、去無蹤，並非浪得虛名。

美國紐約州長葛謨(Andrew Cuomo)20日宣布，紐約州新冠肺炎確診病例數再增2950例，總數達7102例，其中紐約市4408例，新增1939例；葛謨並進一步要求除食品、醫療、醫藥、運輸、媒體、供應等行業，其他非必要(non-essential)行業企業所有員工必須在家工作。

葛謨再次強調紐約州需要更多病床，目前紐約最多只能提供5萬病床，因此醫院方面即將取消所有已預約的非必須手術；由於紐約醫療物資即將告急，葛謨宣布將為可以製造手套、防護衣和口罩的公司提供撥款，呼籲各公司發揮創造力動用各種手段製造這些關鍵物資，目前高盛(Goldman Sachs)已經為紐約捐獻10萬個口罩。

根據美國疾病防治中心(CDC)數據，20%的住院病人年齡在20歲至44歲間，法國加護病房(ICU)病患中超過50%年齡都在60歲以下，對於很多中青年認為自己不會感染病毒、或就算感染也不會產生重症的想法，葛謨用數據強調這些都是錯誤認知，為保護自己和家人，最好的方式就是居家不外出，最大程度減少與他人接觸的次數。

紐約州目前已進行超過3萬2000個檢測，僅過去一天就新增1萬個檢測，檢測能力繼續大幅度增加；目前州內住院率為18%。

歐盟正擬定計畫，從中國大陸或其他市場，緊急空運口罩和其他醫療設備到歐洲，原因是新冠肺炎疫情爆發，導致這類設備用品供不應求。

倫敦金融時報（FT）報導，歐盟內部市場事務執委布勒東（Thierry Breton）在給歐盟各國部長的信函中，提到這項加速送貨的計畫。他警告說，製造商全力增產已緩不濟急，因此「空運」有其必要性。

布勒東在信中寫道：「我們的當務之急應是盡可能增加歐洲取得個人防護裝備（PPE）的管道，尤其是口罩和呼吸器等醫療器材。製造商都盡力了，有些業者告訴我，他們的產能已經倍增。但這樣還是不夠。」

這項緊急計畫凸顯疫情升溫已讓歐盟的醫療系統難以負荷，並暴露出歐盟某些產品無法自給自足的問題。

報導指出，歐盟執委會正討論安排空運而非海運，主因為歐盟各國醫院迫切取得大量的口罩。

歐盟計劃空運前，西班牙、義大利等國因口罩短缺而抱怨連連，屢向其他歐盟成員國求援卻遭到漠視，執委會18日宣布，將從中國大陸收到逾200萬個口罩和5萬個肺炎檢測工具，以解決供不應求的問題。

義大利武漢肺炎疫情重災區倫巴底大區（Lombardy）疫情仍未緩和，區長方達納（Attilio Fontana）今天表示，義大利中央政府已同意在區內部署軍隊，以執行封城命令。

方達納在記者會上表示：「（出動軍隊的提議）已獲採納...有114名兵力將進駐倫巴底各地。...人數雖仍太少，但已是好消息。」

倫巴底大區還要求義大利中央政府採取更嚴格的限制措施。現行措施包括停止所有非必要商業活動，及禁止民眾聚集。

義大利政府昨天公布，境內武漢肺炎確診人數攀升到4萬1035人，增幅超越前3天。累計死亡也衝上3405例，比最早爆發疫情的中國還多；單單倫巴底大區就占2168死。

方達納今天也說，倫巴底大區的疫情仍持續擴大。「數字還在增加，我們不幸尚未見到趨勢轉變。」

印度武漢肺炎疫情持續惡化，馬哈拉什特拉省今天宣布孟買、平埔里青奇瓦德、普恩和納格坡等4城封城，新德里則宣布關閉餐廳、購物中心和商店，餐廳只准外送和外帶服務。

新德里電視台（NDTV）報導，印度累計2019冠狀病毒疾病（COVID-19，武漢肺炎）確診病例已達223例，且今天至少通報50個新病例，是疫情爆發以來單日通報最多的病例數。

不過，根據印度衛生與家庭福利部傍晚5時公布的統計報告，印度累計確診病例達196例，其中有4人死亡，有22人痊癒。

其中，疫情最嚴重的馬拉哈什特省（Maharashtra）累計病例增加到49例，省長薩克雷（UddhavThackeray）今天決定升級防疫措施，宣布孟買、普恩、平埔里青奇瓦德和納格坡從今天午夜起進行封城，所有辦公場所全部關閉，直到31日。

他補充說，蔬果店、賣食物的雜貨店、銀行、醫院和藥局不在關閉之列。

薩克雷指出，由於孟買的鐵路和公共汽車是這座城市的生命線，許多工作人群仰賴出入，政府無法關閉；但如果人們不配合防疫措施，政府可能必須關掉火車和公車服務。

印度首都新德里的確診病例也達到16例，市長克里瓦爾（Arvind Kejriwal）繼昨天宣布關閉所有餐廳，僅提供外送和外帶的服務外，今天又宣布提高防疫措施，關閉所有購物中心和商店，但販售食物的雜貨店、蔬果店和藥局除外。

一家餐廳老闆凱莫爾（Kemal）說，雖然新的規定會影響生意，但沒有辦法，為了所有人的健康，必須遵守政府規定，餐廳今天只提供外送和外帶。

至於販賣食物與蔬果的雜貨店老闆則強調，食物一切供應正常，民眾不必恐慌搶購。

為阻止境外移入的病例，印度政府除暫停除外交、公務等目的以外的外國人入境簽證外，昨天也宣布將暫停所有國際客機降落印度，並計劃22日起採取上午7時到晚間9時的禁足令，禁止人們在這段時間外出。

資深媒體人黃光芹日前在臉書槓上30年老友唐湘龍，直斥對方在政論節目的言論是在暗示「台灣因新冠肺炎疫情，已經死了1600人，不過因政府隱匿，所以没曝光」，稱唐湘龍已是在造謠；對此，唐湘龍昨(20日)也在主持廣播節目首度回應。

黃光芹日前在臉書槓上唐湘龍，稱對方在政論節目的言論在造謠，最後更以一句話酸爆對方，「我至今一直在猜，湘龍你之前突然消失了10幾天，一定看到了什麼陳時中看不到的！」不過黃光芹也強調自己與唐湘龍是多年老友，並不討厭對方，只是希望對方趕快回魂。

對此，唐湘龍昨日主持廣播節目中，也透過聊天室網友得知黃光芹的對他的批評指教，他說罵他的人多了，要網友別跟他說，也不要傳給他看，坦言自己工作多年，幾乎不看電視，也不看談話性節目與自己上的節目。

唐湘龍說對他個人指教，若是有內涵的，他一定會接受並認真思考，但大部分屬於名嘴漫談消費式的，那真的不重要，強調自己只希望在工作上面能更提供完整、精確、即時且立場充分揭露的訊息，他沒有要表演，也沒有要隱藏自己意圖，因為在公共領域發言時，信任才是最值錢的。

新冠肺炎延燒，引起民眾恐慌爆發囤貨潮，儘管疫情指揮官陳時中記者會上喊話理性購買，不要囤貨，但行政院長蘇貞昌「逆時中」，當晚在臉書要民眾「盡量買」，有民眾20日一大早前往好市多，還沒進門就崩潰了。

有讀者向《中時電子報》提供影片，透過畫面可以看到，民眾前往好市多高雄大順店，才進入停車場，就已經看到擠滿了人車，人龍從停車場就開始排，繞了一大圈到了室外，又折回來才能進入賣場內，一直到手扶梯上還是呈現「塞車」狀態，足見人潮之多。

時間回到18日，當天指揮中心公告台灣新冠肺炎確診病例一口氣增加23例，總數直接達到100大關，也引發民眾恐慌，當晚就前往賣場瘋狂搶貨，除了衛生紙外，包括泡麵、罐頭與蔬果也全被下架，甚至連八寶粥也銷售一空。

對於現代男女而言，「約炮」不再是個絕對負面的觀念，反而是一種新興社交關係，甚至可以為實際生活帶來幫助。譬如，假如妳（你）的炮友是一名醫生，會有什麼好處呢？一名老司機透露，醫生炮友向她承諾：「我保證你以後生病一定有病床」。

「大夥兒是不是誤會了所謂炮友只能打炮這回事？」，一名老司機在PTT西斯版（sex）發文表示，炮友有很多種，也有穿上衣服後偶爾還能聊聊人生說說理想的，也許有共同興趣看看電影，也許信仰相同可以一起聊政治。

老司機分享幾個小故事，朋友Ａ被老闆坑，炮友介紹律師給她，最後連年收近百的工作也是炮友介紹的；朋友Ｂ跟炮友聊到她冷氣不冷，朋友Ｂ的炮友立刻約了時間洗冷氣還不收費。朋友Ｃ身體小問題苦痛了很久，炮友強烈建議她去看某個醫生，病癒後朋友Ｃ還帶著家人請那位炮友吃飯。

最後老司機說到自己親身經歷，她曾問醫生杯杯「跟你約有什麼好處」，對方回答：我保證你以後生病一定有病床。

這篇老司機分享文獲得眾多鄉民讚賞，紛紛留言「精闢」、「專業」、「推一個，實在文（笑）」、「這個分析直接讓我被說服QQ」。有鄉民表示「我需要空姐^_^」，被老司機吐槽「買機票不會有優惠的」。

上月專欄文章《茶佐餐正時興》裡所提到的東京「茶禪華」之宴，當晚，餐茶佐搭之外，讓我玩味再三還有，料理的國界。

主廚川田智也的廚歷：十年東京龍吟、五年香港中菜餐廳、兩年台灣祥雲龍吟，日菜與中菜雙重訓練加之多國旅居背景，使他雖立足日本，廚藝上卻兼容各方各地之身世個性──形式與神髓趨近日菜，中國與台灣食材、元素和語彙則穿插融入此中，除了同樣在龍吟一系主廚間頗常見的隱隱然法菜形影，應可定義為「華味日菜」。

歸來後細細咀嚼，深有所感是，這樣的多國交融，在時下全球西菜領域中也愈見抬頭，脈絡上雖仍不脫「在地法菜」體系，卻可算獨樹一幟的一支。

所謂在地法菜，指的是以法菜為形式骨幹，在地素材、在地味道為血肉魂魄的料理；在來自四面八方、但一致受正統法廚訓練、繼而回到個別出身國度地域的新一代主廚們的聯手推波助瀾下，蔚成近年席捲全球fine dining頂級餐飲世界的主流時潮；從早期遍見歐陸的義魂法菜、西魂法菜、北歐魂法菜，繼之往全球擴散的日魂法菜、台魂法菜、俄魂法菜、祕魯魂法菜……等等均屬之。

而這其中另有一類則有別於前述，主廚們不單單熱烈擁抱所出身落腳的在地，還擁有更複雜多國多元的修業、歷練、住居甚至血緣身世背景，反映於廚藝風貌和表情上，遂也更顯混融紛呈。

2014年，我曾在位於義大利羅馬的「metamorfosi」餐廳裡，第一次領略這混血之魅。曾被《 Gambero Rosso 紅蝦評鑑》欽點為年度明日之星的主廚Roy Salomon Caceres 來自哥倫比亞，作品洗練新穎，可以清晰感受到來自法、義、地中海與拉丁美洲的交揉痕跡，在當時已然全球崛起的在地法菜旋風中顯得分外獨特。

相比於單單採擷多端異國元素入菜，他們的作品，因是踏踏實實因各方風土與在地廚藝專業之長期薰陶、而後薈萃交融而生，遂在混融之理路與整體完成度上，無疑也更扎實到位；且隨全球餐飲界的交流倍加頻繁緊密，而從數量到能見度都與日揚升，愈受矚目。

而在台灣，隨在地法菜的整體圓熟發展，特別近兩三年，也愈來愈有此類餐廳嶄頭露角，比方台中「JL Studio」，主廚林恬耀來自新加坡，以新加坡飲食為揮灑主題，奔放的南洋香料元素和華美精細的表現，結合淋漓盡致的台灣食材詮釋，非常出色。

東京「Florilege」的在台姊妹店、短短開張甫數月就以飛快速度奪得米其林一星的「logy」，日魂法菜血統，卻俯拾可見主廚田原諒悟對台灣食材與味覺的無比痴狂與熱情。

「蘭 Orchid Restaurant」與「Town by Bryan Nagao Taipei」則是更鮮明的例子，主廚Nobu Lee和Bryan Nagao，前者為日台混血、後者為日裔夏威夷人，並曾分別於香港與紐西蘭執業，落定台灣後也同樣以台灣食材為創作核心，作品一繽紛爽朗、一自信渾成，一一成為台灣在地法菜的動人風景。

（主流傳媒記者吳敏慈／台南報導）新冠肺炎疫情持續延燒，民眾出門消費用餐意願降低，北部已有不少飯店自助餐選擇關閉，台南大員皇冠假日酒店元素餐廳逆向操作、力拼客源，搶攻Buffet商機，即日起不分平假日，吃到飽每人只要899元。

除了下殺899元吃到飽，並加碼菜色大升級，六大主廚全都端出自己的拿手菜，還有多道現點現做的新鮮餐點，包括焗烤龍蝦、現煎和牛、蒸魚、蒸牛肉、牛肉湯等，熱騰騰上桌。

此外，國內外獲獎無數的金牌點心主廚劉靖晟，以甜點成功擄獲不少饕客的心，還曾幫前總統馬英九特製甜點宴請國宴嘉賓。為了讓甜點吧有全新視覺的震撼，還以巧克力手作了「大魚的祝福」妝點餐檯，成為拍照亮點。

疫情衝擊全台飯店旅宿業，台南大員皇冠假日酒店表示，除下重本積極提升菜色，作為防疫示範酒店，清潔消毒防疫工作也做到滴水不漏，深受台南市長黃偉哲肯定。

行政總主廚周烈成表示，菜色更新80%以上，並以養生為出發，讓客人願意出門用餐，還能吃得健康。台南大員皇冠假日酒店推出吃到飽優惠價與高CP值菜色，試圖在台南星級飯店自助餐中佔領龍頭地位。

台灣一天就新增了24例的境外移入個案，其中案114例，傳出他是國家代表隊的陪練員，而指揮中心僅表示，他是一名體育系的學生，2月16日到3月17日，到過西班牙、德國和英國比賽，目前同團33人都已經進行居家檢疫隔離。

台灣單日新增24例的境外移入個案其中案114，北部10多歲男性指揮中心證實，是一名體育系學生2月16日到3月17日，到過西班牙、德國、英國比賽，16日從法國轉機，17日抵台，回台後就進行居家檢疫，隨後頭痛鼻塞和眼睛痛，立刻通報20日確診。

疫情指揮中心監測應變官莊人祥：「(案114)他應該是一個，體育系的學生，他有出國，案114他並沒有進入到校園啦。」

同團共有33人，都已經居家檢疫隔離，傳出這名學生是國家代表隊的陪練員，不過憂心疫情升溫，體育署有安排南北兩站的訓練第，選手往返住宿地點，都會搭乘專車接送，不荒廢訓練又兼顧防疫，但香港的體育圈也傳出確診個案。

香港空手道女將曾綺婷：「回港時我沒特別症狀，兩日前開始有點鼻水倒流，我也覺得沒什麼，因為喉嚨沒有痛、也沒有咳嗽，昨日準備入駿洋邨隔離營時，突然身體有反應，發燒到38.4度。」

香港空手道女將曾綺婷，錄影片證實自己初步確診，其實他的隊友李振豪先前也已經確診，而曾綺婷2月19日到3月14日，在法國和奧地利訓練空手道，之後從泰國轉機回香港，香港運動員也累積到了，兩例的確診個案。

情侶吵架是很正常的行為，畢竟人與人相處難免會有衝突，如何化解才是其中的關鍵。但一名男子在臉書社團「爆廢公社」發文表示，女朋友日前傳給他一份「交往協議書」，裡頭洋洋灑灑列了10項規定，包括「吵架1次罰200元」、「提分手1次罰5000元」、「在外面吵架罰2萬元」、「封鎖FB(臉書)、LINE罰3萬元」，讓他忍不住詢問網友「我該簽嗎…」引起熱議。

只見這份「交往協議書」上頭寫了10項規定，包括「吵架1次罰200元」、「提分手1次罰5000元」、「吵架先掛電話罰300元」、「故意不接電話罰100元」、「翻舊帳罰2500元」、「不聽解釋罰1500元」，其中甚至還有罰金破萬的規定：「離家出走罰1萬5000元」、「封鎖臉書、LINE罰3萬元」、「隨便亂發作罰1萬元」、「在外面吵架罰2萬元」，讓原PO狂抖直呼「女朋友傳這個…我該簽嗎…」

沒想到貼文曝光後，許多網友紛紛笑翻，要男子趕快簽下去，「覺得可以不工作，每天惹怒女友賺錢」、「這簽下去就發財了」、「簽吧，搞不好你因此而致富」、「這通常是我們女生會犯，簽吧」、「這不用一年你都可以買房子了」、「比中樂透還好賺，簽下去啊」、「趕緊簽了，就不用上班了」、「穩賺不賠的生意不幹嗎」、「上有政策，下有對策！簽下去」、「一桶金指日可待」。

肺炎疫情蔓延，台灣近期吹起的搶購潮，讓不少食品加工廠，加大生產力道，經濟部也拍影片回應，要大家免緊張，衛生紙庫存，夠用300年，食品業者，也都比照中元普渡等級備貨，不會出現斷貨狀況。

罐頭脆瓜，倒出來滿滿一盤，配上稀飯、鹹粥，簡單解決一餐，現在受到肺炎影響，這些罐頭，全變成熱賣商品。

因應龐大需求，食品加工廠，近期可是產能全開，堆高機忙進忙出，把貨品載上物流車，運往全台各角落販售，即使加大產能，出貨量暴增，業者依舊不擔心原料用光。

產製部副總經理樊謙騰：「年後開工的時候，我們的產銷協調，針對預期的疫情來講，我們對於原物料，已經備貨到第三季9月份了。」

這家位於嘉義的食品工廠，先前因為肺炎疫情，股價一度跌到6元以下，創下近五年來新低，不過隨著民眾狂掃物資，18日開始止跌回升，甚至一度漲停板，但就怕搶購歪風繼續吹，經濟部拍影片喊話。

經濟部長沈榮津：「泡麵產能也配合提升，已經拉到中元普渡的水準，罐頭廠商也全力生產，而且還有3個月的存量。」

泡麵、罐頭等乾貨，庫存沒問題，民眾心心念念的衛生紙，業者秀出生產流程，配上逗趣字幕，一大卷3噸的衛生紙，裁成小包裝後，可以讓你擦屁股300年，因為需求增加，目前已加大配送量。

衛生紙生產業者：「我們都是24小時全線的開班，會優先滿足台灣消費者。我們都是24小時全面的在生產，也增加了物流的配送，供貨無虞，請民眾放心。」

民眾害怕肺炎，先把東西買起來放，食品業者老神在在，比照中元普渡等級備貨，再多的需求，都能應付。

逛街時真的留意自身包包，別成為小偷下手目標！桃園一名陳姓女竊賊，搭車到新北市新店的傳統市場，刻意挑選人多的地方犯案，她假裝自己在挑衣服，卻趁機擋住被害人視線，偷走對方錢包，光是上個月就犯下6起竊盜案，得手將近三萬元。

一名穿著黑白條紋衣服的女子，把整件衣服拿起來看，甚至還走到人群中，看起來好像是真的很喜歡這件衣服，但仔細看，她動作熟練，一手拿著衣服，另外一隻手直接伸進另外一名婦人的包包內，短短幾秒鐘，就把對方的錢包偷走，雖然被害人有看了嫌犯一眼，不過卻沒察覺自己的錢包不見了。

市場擺攤店家都會提醒客人，請小心隨身的重要物品，不只口頭說，市場內到處都是警告標語，就是擔心類似的竊盜案一再發生。因為光是這名陳姓嫌犯，疑似鎖定傳統市場，從今年2月到3月中，至少在新北市仁愛市場內犯下六起竊盜案，前前後後得手將近三萬元，還有被害人連四千多元的禮券也被偷。

新店分局偵查隊副隊長方慶祥：「組成專案小組積極的偵辦，那研判應為扒竊的慣犯所為，經調閱沿線的監視器，發現是一名陳姓的女子涉嫌重大。」

警方逮到這名女竊賊，發現他是竊盜慣犯，雖然家住桃園，卻經常搭車四處下手，疑似想趁機設下斷點，讓員警難抓人，手法熟練一犯再犯。這回她又到新店的市場犯案，以為警察找不到，沒想到派出所特地到平鎮住家外埋伏，將人逮捕歸案，但逛街難免會到人潮較多的地方，民眾還是得要自己留意重要物品。

拚防疫，桃園機場免稅店將開賣口罩，成人3片50元，不只這樣，日前也有「防疫計程車」，避免旅客搭乘大眾運輸工具有交叉感染的可能，但卻被發現竟然有人動起歪腦筋，假冒成防疫計程車招攬乘客，甚至連口罩都沒戴，讓民眾看了心驚驚。

身穿黑衣白鞋男子，在桃園機場大廳晃啊晃，招攬旅客走到門口，隨即安排上轎車，防疫當前，竟有人把歪腦筋動到「防疫計程車」上，更誇張的是。

網友在社群軟體分享，自己從桃園機場出關找防疫計程車時，竟然發現有司機假冒成防疫計程車，招攬乘客，甚至連口罩都沒有戴，恐怕消毒工作也不確實，說好的防疫呢？

防疫計程車司機：「現在你隨便亂載被抓到要罰50萬耶，我們要呼籲就是，要來搭乘防疫計程車才能確保防疫安全。」

按規矩排班的覺得不可思議，直說太危險，就連乘客似乎也很憂慮。

旅客：「(遇到你會坐他們的車嗎？)不會，(為甚麼)因為應該會有個比較好的程序吧。」

旅客心驚驚，現階段防疫需求大，有些民眾為了省時間，但恐怕反讓自己置身危險，而為了加強安全防範，現在桃園機場也將在免稅店開賣口罩成人3片50元，比市售15元貴。

旅客：「我是覺得這個也是便民，這是第一點，第二點就是，其實如果從國外回來的話，其實他老早已經準備好了(口罩)。」

旅客：「合理啊沒多少錢，國外的現在都很貴呀。」

讓旅客下機就可以購買口罩，避免國門成了防疫破口。

義大利是歐洲國家裡新型冠狀病毒疫情（COVID-19，簡稱武漢肺炎）最嚴重的國家，截至3月19日染病人數確診病例已超過4萬，死亡人數3,405人，已是目前全球疫情最慘重的國家。從疫情出現以來，義大利確診與死亡人數持續增加，或因義大利人天性熱情、喜歡擁抱式近距離接觸，復加上大家極少有戴口罩習慣，即刻造成疫情爆發式成長；短短幾天內，確診人數快速達到數千人。

原本只是幾個城市封城，仍無法抑制疫情擴散，義大利最後宣布「封國」，嚴禁公眾集會及基本遷徙，從教堂到餐廳的所有公共場所一律關閉；除藥局和食品店等販售基本生活必需品的店鋪外，所有商店均停止營業，但宅配服務不受影響。

義國人口約6,000多萬，先在1月底出現首起確診病例，以倫巴底大區一個小鎮為擴散中心。1號患者（義國男子）出現流感症狀而就診看病時，表明並未曾造訪中國，因此根據當時的檢測方針，無中國或其他疫區旅遊史者即不用接受採檢，他便自行出院，因而未診斷出感染新型冠狀病毒。之後二度就醫才確診，造成許多人醫院感染，同時也推測出感染源可能來自德國。同時義國顧慮醫療資源不足，改變廣泛篩檢的策略，將檢測範圍縮小至已有症狀者，卻未能防堵無症狀者傳播病毒；由於不少感染者是輕症或是沒有症狀，政府才又向要求義國人民宅在家、別出門冒感染的風險。

▌第一線人員和醫院的殘酷現況

義大利北部醫療照護體系，已因新冠病毒疫情嚴峻而瀕臨癱瘓，醫護人員疲憊至極。倫巴底的醫院病床和醫療物資嚴重短缺，醫院必須清空病房收容重症病患，並將備有呼吸器的手術室改成加護病房。醫生相互輪班，更要幫累到生病的同事代班，醫師也出現過度疲勞的情況。

且因一線人員不足，也動員退休醫護或是剛畢業的醫學生，甚至許多大學護理系大三的學生都獲准直接上陣幫忙。前線抗疫人員僅睡在那些可移動的床、地板上的床墊或候診室的墊子，床鋪也沒有清潔整理，處於相當艱難的衛生條件。在病床短缺和呼吸器嚴重不足的情況下，醫護人員必須面臨「優先救誰」的抉擇，已經讓醫師陷入道德難題。由於醫療資源明顯不夠，當局下令：先將資源用在最有機會存活的病患。

根據義大利民防部門3月19日的數據，倫巴底大區有13,938名患者，其次是艾米莉亞．羅馬涅的4,506人。至於已離世者，倫巴底有2,168人、艾米利亞．羅馬涅有531人。倫巴底高級衛生官員嘎雷拉（Giulio Gallera）接受《Sky TG24》新聞採訪時表示：我們很少有空的重症監護室，儘管政府要求至少要備有15或20個監護室嚴陣以待，「但每天都會有人入院，幾乎是源源不絕。」

因應醫療資源嚴重短缺，米蘭的聖拉斐爾（San Raffaele）醫院正在創建一個擁有14個監護室的區域，倫巴底政府也打算在6天內把3,630坪的米蘭國際展覽中心，參考「武漢式火神山」醫院模式改建，可收容約莫500位重症患者，不過仍需要政府提供呼吸機、重症監控系統和其他醫療輔助設備。

（中央社記者楊明珠東京20日專電）武漢肺炎迅速蔓延全球，台灣防疫受到多國肯定。日本每日新聞報導，台灣防疫起步快，成功的抑制疫情擴大，有專家認為是因台灣記取17年前SARS慘劇的教訓，常保戒心。

每日新聞指出，有關2019冠狀病毒疾病（COVID- 19，武漢肺炎）疫情，台灣與中國在地理上近且人員往來多，但台灣成功的遏止疫情擴大，截至本月19日，確診人數108人，死者僅1人。國小、國中、高中目前照常上課。

美國史丹佛大學預防醫療研究中心主任王智弘（C. Jason Wang）受訪時表示，有85萬名台灣人旅居中國，一年之間有271萬中國人訪台。農曆新年是來自中國的觀光客或返鄉客最多的時期，台灣面臨的風險應是全球名列前茅的，如果台灣政府沒適當的採取防疫對策的話，可能有5000人會感染2019冠狀病毒。

王智弘本月3日在美國醫學權威期刊JAMA，刊登一篇有關台灣防疫對策的文章，對於台灣在疫情發生的初期實施邊境管制措施的成功加以分析。

王智弘表示，台灣實施的多項對策對其他國家也有助益。他還說，病毒的傳染、擴散如同海嘯般快速襲來，人容易被吞沒。防疫初期是否採取果敢的應對，是防疫能否成功的分水嶺。

王智弘在發表的論文很肯定台灣的政府作法，像是台灣的政府去年12月31日就對來自中國湖北省武漢的直航班機開始實施入機檢疫。鋪設檢疫網後，1月21日台灣首度出現武漢肺炎確診者就是從武漢返國的台灣女性。

台灣政府對她實施隔離，有密切接觸的46人也全體實施兩次採檢，以遏止疫情擴大。到1月23日之間的約3週之間實施檢疫，總共對38班客機4625人實施採檢。

台灣在防疫工作上，1月5日以後，有專家參與的對策會議多次召開。王智弘表示，邊境管制措施、防止疫情擴大的對策等，到2月24日為止，快速實施了124項行動計畫。

王智弘指出，台灣記取2002年至2003年嚴重急性呼吸道症候群（SARS）肆虐，造成37人死亡的教訓，常保持戒心，建立了能立刻因應緊急事態的制度。台灣在2004年參考美國疾病管制暨預防中心（CDC）的作法，成立了防疫司令塔機關國家衛生指揮中心（ NHKCC）。儘管在總統選戰期間（1月11日投開票），但 NHKCC負起疫情初期的防疫責任。

王智弘認為，要防止疫情擴大，人民遵守政府的指示相當重要。在台灣，部長、專家等每天召開記者會公布資訊，讓記者問到飽，一一回答，這獲得民眾的信賴，展現民主國家應有的作為。

報導指出，台灣在疫情發生的初期能成功做好防疫工作，使得後來學校能照常上課。1月底正好是學校放寒假，新學期原訂2月11日開學，但台灣政府2月2日宣布延至25日開學。

就這2週之內，政府做好分發口罩、消毒液、體溫計等必需品給各學校。學校方面也成立防疫小組，徹底指導教職員防疫。學童從25日起開學，早晚量體溫，學校也努力做好消毒工作。

報導說，雖然在台灣有人認為政府強制性的做法侵害人權，但並沒引發民眾強烈反彈。當年SARS期間，有人搶購造成口罩荒，所以台灣實施傳染病防治法的修法，可徵用物資、設備以加強防疫。（編輯：張佑之）1090320

（中央社記者管瑞平苗栗縣20日電）苗栗縣賴姓女子遭人槍殺棄屍新北市三峽山區，涉案的洪姓男友今遭檢方聲押獲准；被害女子家屬氣憤難平，深夜前往洪男位於苗栗縣頭份市老家撒冥紙、掛白布條抗議。

賴姓女子父親與親友，晚間10時許手捧著賴女遺照，以及寫有「司法還我女兒公道」、「殺人還命，支持唯一死刑」的白布條，前往洪姓兇嫌住處撒冥紙抗議，幾度大喊要兇嫌家屬出面給個交代。

死者家屬會合前往兇嫌老家途中，警方也派出大批人力維持秩序，沿途苦勸「已進入司法偵辦中」、「拜託不要為難我們」，並試圖拿下親友手中的冥紙，引起家屬情緒激動，賴父指出，女兒遭洪姓兇嫌槍殺，還棄屍荒野，「難道警察要保護殺人兇手？」雙方一度拉扯，所幸衝突並未擴大。

頭份警分局副分局長張進基表示，對於被害家屬悲傷情緒的表現「深感同情」，不過洪姓兇嫌已遭羈押，呼籲被害家屬保持理性，靜待司法還給公道，最後在警方極力勸導下，死者親友才悻悻然離去。（編輯：張佑之）1090320

臺灣省政府於5月3日（星期日）下午2時在中興新村省政資料館國際會議廳，公開表揚由雲林縣政府李進勇縣長推薦模範母親代表陳香麗女士。省府林政則主席親臨主持，並頒贈陳香麗女士「懿德揚芬」匾額，表達崇高的敬意。

陳香麗女士， 從印尼來臺工作，與臺籍先生相識結婚，婚後丈夫未負起家責，還多次對陳女士家暴，她毅然帶著3名女兒離家並獨自扶養，分居多年才辦理離婚。陳女士的前夫晚年因病纏身，失明且半身癱瘓，婆婆患失智症，陳女士不忍他們無人看顧，不計前嫌接來同住照料，並教導女兒要更加孝順長輩。丈夫過世後，陳女士依然視婆婆如生母，細心照顧無微不至。

陳香麗女士人生格言是「逆境中，力挽狂瀾使強者更強，隨波逐流使弱者弱。」。陳女士無一技之長，來臺靠著四處打零工、臨時工賺取微薄薪資，養育女兒長大，茹苦含辛。艱困環境下成長的孩子更加早熟貼心，女兒主動負責家務、課業認真、和睦同儕、協助照料父親及祖母，讓陳香麗女士無比欣慰。省府林政則主席說，陳香麗女士隻身來臺打拼，遭遇磨難及挑戰皆不屈不饒、勇敢面對，對待夫家不計前嫌，以身教教導女兒孝悌的真諦，這種大愛無私的胸襟及堅強的韌性讓人敬佩，雖為新住民但卻活出新的臺灣女性堅苦卓絕的自強精神。

剛剛跨年看完煙火，也不要忘記一月一號開始，有許多交通新制正式上路，也就是說邊開車邊騎車也邊玩手機的低頭族，得吃上3000元到1000元的罰金，沒有勸導直接看單。喝酒開車也是，沒有價照和未滿兩年的新手，酒測值和血液酒精濃度標準都往下修，也就是說變得更嚴格了。

邊開車邊玩手機，小心要被罰，還有像騎著兩輪摩托車，還要騰出手來用手機，即使紅燈停下來，一樣要被罰。新的一年開始，不少交通新規定正式實施，大家一定記牢，像是低頭族用手拿手機或是電腦撥打、上網玩遊戲，汽車駕駛被抓到要罰3000元，機車騎士被抓就要罰1000元，別以為警察只會勸導，正式開始可是會直接開罰單。

抓不抓得到有沒有用，民眾看法兩極，有員警也認為，除非近距離一輛輛車子查看，要抓得徹底的確有難度，更不用說要如何認定民眾真的是非不得已，必須邊行駛邊用手機。

除了低頭族開罰，酒駕標準也有新的規範正式上路，無照駕駛的、新手上路未滿兩年、職業駕駛，酒測值從0.25毫克下修到0.15，血液酒精濃度也從原來的0.05%，往下調整到0.03%，也就是說標準變嚴格了。但畢竟保護生命安全最重要，還是多留意遵守規定比較好。
