《鬢邊不是海棠紅》3/20起愛奇藝台灣站全網獨播，由惠楷棟執導，黃曉明、尹正、佘詩曼領銜主演，改編自水如天兒的同名網路小說。總製作人于正繼《延禧攻略》後與導演惠楷棟再攜手，帶來年度大製作，領大家回到1930年代講述戲曲文化相關故事，《鬢邊不是海棠紅》黃曉明與佘詩曼飾演夫妻，因戲結識尹正成為知己，預告中黃曉明眼眶含淚詮釋程鳳台：「演到最後我發現我也融入到那個角色，直接把自己活成角色的樣子。」更透露：「程鳳台是我以前沒有挑戰過的角色，雖然和上海灘造型相似但性格完全不同，很有意思。」《鬢邊不是海棠紅》黃曉明飾演程鳳台出生於商賈家庭，見識廣博、思想前衛，喜歡追求新鮮事物，黃曉明透露：「程鳳台是一個在保護自己的愛人面前相當狠，做生意的時候很精明的一個人，但在二奶奶（妻子范湘兒）及商細蕊面前特別特別慫，老被他們欺負來欺負去。」《延禧攻略》裡的“嫻妃”佘詩曼飾演程鳳台（黃曉明飾演）的妻子范湘兒，挑戰東北女人的她笑言：「劇中我是位性格直爽的人，看到不爽的事情就罵」被黃曉明虧：「我就是那個被罵的，但她戲外相當善良。」《鬢邊不是海棠紅》全劇與戲曲緊密連結，為力求專業劇組特別請來著名京劇表演藝術家、90歲高齡的畢谷雲擔任戲曲顧問，主演尹正更在開拍前一個月就進組接受封閉式培訓。尹正飾演從外地到北平的梨園新魁商細蕊，是個硬底子的京劇角色，面對本地勢力的瘋狂打壓，他仍一心只為京劇藝術的精深追求裡紮根。尹正的花旦造型，吸引網友們盛讚：「神似他的偶像張國榮《霸王別姬》中的程蝶衣。」(照片：愛奇藝台灣站)（NFG， www.NeoFashionGo.com)

戲劇《覆活》今（20）日舉辦宣傳活動，演員邀請圈內好友們，搶先觀賞片花。與任容萱合作的兩部戲「前男友」王傳一及李國毅，秒答應出席義氣相挺，但王傳一爆料，他是用「以德抱怨」心情出席，抖出去年邀請對方出席生日會竟沒有下文。李國毅則大開玩笑稱，推掉7千萬的工作現身，任容萱一臉不敢置信，李國毅故意順勢接話：「妳要好好補償了！」

今天圈內好友到場，還包括邱勝翊（王子）曾合作的搭檔鍾欣凌，以及吳岳擎在「植劇場」的好友江沂宸等。王傳一笑說，因為疫情期間待在家裡也待久了，剛好出來透透氣，看到任容萱的作品，他說：「長大了、成熟了，因為當時合作《聽見幸福》還是一位小女孩，現在看到本人成熟更有韻味。」但聽到好友開玩笑說今天是「以德抱怨」心情現身，任容萱趕緊澄清，解釋當時在趕拍《覆活》，早早跟劇組請假，但最後還是無法喬出空檔，讓她覺得很抱歉。任容萱提到與李國毅合作《我的自由年代》後，不少粉絲敲碗想再看到他們合體，「沒想到許久沒碰面的我們，居然是他來力挺試片，非常感動。」

邱勝翊與鍾欣凌因合作《愛上巧克力》成為好友，鍾欣凌還記得，第一次邱勝翊來她家作客時，老公居然說：「怎麼有人這麼帥，沒多久私下就加他臉書。」讓她懷疑老公是有什麼症頭，女兒看到帥哥也是眼睛一亮。邱勝翊則爆料：「有一次我生日，她竟然傳她女兒的裸照當生日禮物！」

鍾欣凌看完試片後笑說「好險沒有接這部戲」，覺得每個演員都有被操到，她說：「王子一直在做一個事情，就是讓大家忘記他有多帥這件事，而且非常認真。」現場被追問是否見過現任女友，鍾欣凌表示還沒見過：「剛剛私下有關心他有要成家了嗎？但回答應該還沒那麼快，說不定明天就發喜帖！」邱勝翊竟搭腔：「我又不是曾之喬！」

此外，黃仲崑在劇中和姚以緹飾演父女，聊起與邱勝翊的對手戲，黃仲崑笑說，邱勝翊入戲的程度，完全不輸當年的「馬景濤」、「林瑞陽」！黃仲崑在昨日記者會上還故意掐著姚以緹的脖子示範，笑言比喻：「很像馬景濤、林瑞陽這類型，盡9成力氣！」因一開始與邱勝翊對戲時，的確被他的手勁力道嚇到，黃仲崑說，很擔心一旦肢體來真的，一反擊反而彼此會受傷。已累積超過40年戲齡的黃仲崑坦言，現在演戲把自己當作「無線藍芽喇叭」，接受導演什麼指令，就表演指令要求，完全沒有包袱，任何時候都可以進入演出狀態，一旦離開角色，就恢復輕鬆自在。

武漢肺炎疫情重創美國，確診人數攀升快速，其中人口最多的加州下令封城，要求約4000萬名民眾接受居家隔離，只有必要的時候才能出門。藝人侯昌明和曾雅蘭的女兒侯塞蕾目前也在美國讀書，曾雅蘭今（20）日在臉書上透露女兒決定暫時留在美國不會返台，讓身為人母的她相當心疼與不捨。

▲曾雅蘭（右）不捨女兒獨自留在美國。（圖／翻攝曾雅蘭臉書）

曾雅蘭表示這幾天都在煩惱女兒到底要不要返台，經過好幾次不斷和學校溝通後，校方坦言能夠理解父母的心情，但剩下2個月這學期就結束了，如果回台灣就是無故不上課，這樣就會被歸於曠課而導致退學，之前的成績也會歸零，再加上沒人能知道這場硬仗還需要多久時間，因此不建議回台灣。

▲曾雅蘭透露女兒滯留美國的原因。（圖／翻攝曾雅蘭臉書）

經過深思熟慮和種種風險評估後，侯塞蕾還是決定繼續留在美國讀書，曾雅蘭認為雖然女兒在寄宿家庭房間裡很安全，但大人仍會踏出家門工作、聚餐，所以還是相當擔心，不過幸好侯塞蕾樂觀以待，她告訴爸媽自己會小心防範、充分清潔洗手，也會承擔留下來的一切。女兒成熟懂事的態度讓曾雅蘭感到欣慰：「我看的到她堅強的忍著眼淚，讓我更加難過，想孩子的心更加強烈。」（編輯：侯家瑜）

此外，侯昌明也有透過臉書吐露對女兒的擔憂：「寶貝，你不知道爸爸的心裡有多掙扎、有多心疼、有多擔憂，表面故作鎮定的跟你說最壞的情況，萬一你得到武漢肺炎，我們飛不過去，你只能一個人在醫院也許在加護病房沒人照顧，這樣也可以嗎？」對於女兒決定留在美國一事，侯昌明無奈表示：「但是又必須尊重她個人的選擇⋯好難好難，因為我無法為她的人生負責我不知道還有多久全家人才能團聚？不知道這段時間你熬得住嗎？不知道在搶物資的當下你有得吃有得用嗎？」他認為自己應該還有一段失眠的日子必須度過。

據韓國媒體報導，由於疫情，土耳其聯賽日前已經停擺，32歲的加盟伊薩奇巴希女排的金軟景的比賽日程也隨之暫停的。

金軟景所屬的經紀公司Ryan At在20日對媒體表示：「因為疫情，土耳其聯賽暫停了。」

金軟景所加盟的伊薩奇巴希女排，原本將於21日有一場季後賽1/4決賽，該隊在常規賽中名列第2位。不過現在賽程也被推遲了。

今年1月，金軟景曾從土耳其回到韓國備戰東京奧運會資格賽，之後韓國女排在泰國進行的東京奧運會資格賽亞洲區比賽中拿到了冠軍，同時也拿到了東京奧運會的參賽資格。但之後，金軟景因為腹部受傷，在一段時間里沒有回到賽場。但隨著季後賽的開始，這位2012年倫敦奧運會最有價值選手的狀態也有所提升。

韓國媒體寫道：「然而，因為聯賽停擺，金軟景回到賽場的時間也被推遲了。」

金軟景經紀公司的一位工作人員透露：「金軟景將留在土耳其，等待土耳其聯賽將會恢復或被取消的決定。」

他補充道：「金軟景將根據土耳其聯賽的走向選擇恢復訓練或者考慮什麼時候回國。」

據《太陽報》報導稱，巴西球星羅納爾迪尼奧的保釋申請已經被駁回，他很可能會面臨長達6個月的監禁，小羅將會在監獄中度過自己40歲的生日。

小羅和他的哥哥因為護照造假，在巴拉圭被監禁。他和他的哥哥都否認使用假護照，不過幫他們提供護照的女商人並沒有為他們出庭作證。上周，小羅方面提出保釋申請，但是遭到了拒絕，他還被警告，可能會面臨長達6個月的監禁。

明天就是小羅的生日，在保釋被拒的情況下，小羅只能在獄中度過自己40歲的生日了。

不過小羅在獄中的生活也並不枯燥，他參加了監獄杯足球賽，並在決賽中打進5球送出6次助攻，幫助球隊奪冠。外媒稱，除了踢球之外，小羅還在監獄內做起了木工。

在巴薩辭掉巴爾韋德之前，曾考慮過讓科曼執教，不過由於科曼正擔任荷蘭國家隊主帥，因此拒絕了巴薩的邀請，但科曼近日在接受《馬卡報》採訪時，則向巴薩拋出了橄欖枝，表示自己希望能夠在未來執教巴薩。

當被問及擋當初拒絕巴薩邀請，是不是他認為這份工作對他沒有吸引力時，科曼表示：「不，我只是認為那不是一個合適的時機。事實是我還要執教荷蘭國家隊，執教巴薩確實能夠得到豐厚的待遇，他們也有著很多很出色的球員，他們也有簽下最好球員的機會……如果我丟掉現在的工作，那麼答案將會是肯定的，每個人都想要執教巴薩。」

科曼繼續解釋說：「他們處於什麼樣的狀況都沒有關係，在巴薩，我作為一名球員度過了難忘的時光，我對這座城市充滿了熱愛，所以，讓我們期盼著我將來執教巴薩的那一天吧！」

作者：籃球教主

在之前NBA歷史第一人，「籃球之神」喬丹在參加BBC的一檔節目中，也是說出了自己心目中的歷史最佳陣容，並且主持人的原話是「你會挑選誰成為你的隊友呢？」看來主持人也是默認了喬丹肯定是其中之一，今天我們就來看看喬丹選擇的NBA歷史最佳陣容吧。

除了喬丹自己以外，他選擇了控球後衛魔術師約翰遜，小前鋒皮蓬，大前鋒詹姆斯沃西，中鋒奧拉朱旺。雖然喬丹也是經歷兩代籃球明星，甚至是三代籃球明星。首先喬丹沒有選擇拉里伯德和以賽亞托馬斯，其實喬丹跟這兩位名宿的關係真的一般，尤其是托馬斯，喬丹更是見一次打一次，至於伯德，應該是兩人見面的時候互噴垃圾話導致兩人關係並不是那麼好，兩個嘴強王者應該都不會想讓的。並且喬丹選擇的這些球員都是跟自己交過手的球員，對於現在NBA聯盟的球員喬丹也是沒有選擇任何一個人，哪怕是詹皇也是直接選擇了「無視」。

這裏面奧拉朱旺應該是喬丹除了皮蓬之外，最喜歡的球員，就算是在球員時期，喬丹也從來沒有噴過奧拉朱旺，並且還有點希望跟奧拉朱旺合作，如果當時真的能成，那麼喬丹，皮蓬，奧拉朱旺肯定會更早一步稱霸聯盟，即便是喬丹退役了，相信大夢也是能夠帶領公牛繼續稱霸聯盟的。

再看看湖人Showtime組合的兩大巨星，對於魔術師喬丹也是非常欣賞的，並且曾經公開表示，魔術師不在自己稱霸聯盟都顯得沒有意思，可見喬丹對於約翰遜還是非常尊敬的，最起碼不像是其他球星一樣，喬丹都是「藐視」他們的存在，其實這也很正常，因為喬丹知道只有約翰遜有能力能擊敗自己，對於其他的球星則是非常有自信你們不可能擊敗我們。

日期:3月20日消息，哥倫比亞也加入了要求東京奧運會推遲的行列。哥倫比亞奧委會主席在接受媒體採訪時表示，如果冠狀病毒疫情不能很快得到控制，2020年東京奧運會應該被推遲舉行。

目前世界各地的體育賽事和奧運選拔賽都已暫停，但國際奧委會（IOC）並不打算取消定於7月24日開幕的奧運會。哥倫比亞奧委會主席巴爾塔扎爾表示：「國際奧委會和東京奧組委最謹慎、最令人尊重的決定，就是推遲奧運會。如果他們無法保證零風險參賽，毫無疑問，他們將不得不推遲東京奧運。」

巴爾塔扎爾說，在最近一次與國際奧委會的電話會議上，並未討論有關奧運會推遲或延期的問題，不過如果疫情在未來幾個月繼續蔓延，這個問題就應該提上議程。」

原本於7月24舉辦的東京奧運會，東道主日本預計將迎接來自全球各地約60萬的觀眾和運動員，讚助商為此投入了數十億美元和至少120億美元的籌備資金。

截至目前，新型冠狀病毒已經在全世界造成了1萬多人死亡。在疫情全球肆虐的今天，巴爾塔扎爾說：「在我個人看來，我認為應該推遲東京奧運會。我相信國際奧委會也會這麼做，因為這是一種負責任的方式。我們不能為了遵守某些比賽的日程安排，而讓10500名運動員和相關人員的健康處於危險之中。」

巴爾塔扎爾還認為，如果奧運會如期舉行，運動員的表現可能會因訓練不系統而受到影響。他說：「奧運會參賽選手們有可能達不到最高的水平，因為疫情他們無法保證連續而系統的訓練。」

到目前為止，已有29名哥倫比亞運動員獲得東京奧運會參賽資格。如果奧運資格賽能夠順利恢復，這個數字可能達到95。

受到新冠疫情的影響，各大聯賽都陷入了停擺狀態，由於沒有比賽，使得各俱樂部在財政上都遇到了一些困難，巴薩也不例外。

據《每日體育報》等西班牙媒體報導稱，巴薩董事會將會在周五召開特別視頻會議，尋找減少疫情對俱樂部財務影響的辦法。由於西甲和歐冠比賽的暫停，巴薩俱樂部預計將會損失超過數百萬歐元。會議的焦點之一，是如何在沒有比賽的期間降低俱樂部運行成本，很可能會採取讓俱樂部員工減薪、甚至是臨時裁員等措施。

當然，球員也包含其中。《先鋒報》就表示，巴薩考慮要求他們的球星在未來幾周內降低工資。據統計，巴薩的球員工資佔到了球隊本賽季財政預算的61%，巴薩本賽季要在球員薪水上支出5.07億歐元，另外6100萬歐元用於簽約，1.35億歐元用於償還債務。

由於薪水是俱樂部支出的大頭，因此董事會很可能會採取嚴厲措施，甚至可能讓球員降薪，以保證疫情造成的收入損失不會對俱樂部造成太大的影響。

隨著NBA推遲本賽季的比賽，籃網隊超級巨星凱文-杜蘭特的情況就變得備受關注，球迷們期待他能夠在本賽季迎來復出。但由於杜蘭特又感染了病毒，他註定不會在本賽季復出。比起杜蘭特，NBA頂級控衛約翰-沃爾似乎就變得無人問津了，自從2018年12月27日奇才隊輸給活塞隊的比賽過後，沃爾就再也沒有打過一場NBA比賽，時間已經過去兩年了，他仍然沒有康復。

沃爾作為2010年的NBA狀元秀，進入NBA之後就一帆風順，自從提升了自己的糟糕三分球之後，沃爾就成為了NBA頂級控衛。最巔峰的2016-17賽季，沃爾場均能夠得到23.1分4.2籃板10.7助攻2搶斷。生涯至今，沃爾一共五次入選全明星。也正是因為這個出色的賽季，沃爾獲得了奇才隊提供的4年1.7億美金提前續約合同。

如今看來，沃爾真是賺大了。沃爾的這份1.7億美金合同直到本賽季才開始生效，未來三個賽季他的薪水將分別是4082萬美金、4385萬美金、4687萬美金。如果沃爾晚哪怕一年與奇才隊續約，他都不可能得到這樣一份合同。甚至很可能面臨他在大學時期的老隊友德馬庫斯-考辛斯一樣的境遇，最終只能拿中產合同度日。

沃爾之所以會缺席兩個賽季的時間，很大程度上是因為他對自己的保護不夠。他在2018年12月的時候接受了足跟骨刺的去除手術，因此要缺席6-8個月的時間，也直接導致賽季報銷。然而沃爾在家中偏偏又沒有留神，結果摔倒在地，導致左腳跟腱斷裂，當時預計的康復時間延長到了12個月。然而直到現在，沃爾仍然沒有復出。

可以說，沃爾的職業生涯已經岌岌可危，而奇才隊卻要背負他那份糟糕的合同，未來幾個賽季都很難翻身。如果不是因為比爾的表現如此出色，奇才隊恐怕早就聯盟墊底。沃爾生涯至今沒有取得像樣的季後賽成就，更不用提總冠軍。但在薪水方面，沃爾賺的盆滿缽滿，他現在的合同總金額已經達到2.8億美金，比庫里生涯總薪水還多3000萬美金，不愧是人生贏家。

日期:3月20日，結束了14天隔離期的上海上港，進入了自選性質的訓練時間。雖然球隊還沒有正式集結，但是，很多隊員積極響應了自選訓練，來到基地開啟了新的備戰訓練。

上港全隊是在3月4日晚10時15分，抵達上海浦東國際機場，結束了為期一個月的迪拜冬訓。球隊在抵滬之後，嚴格按照疫情防控有關工作要求執行，做好相關防疫工作。此後，經過14天的認真隔離，3月18日球隊順利通過隔離期。

結束隔離之後，昨天和今天球隊給隊員們安排了自選性質的訓練，讓隊員來到球隊訓練基地，由奚指導和俱樂部副總孫祥帶領隊員們完成每天的訓練。周末休息，隊員們可以不用來基地訓練。

接下來，球隊也將根據疫情情況及各項賽事賽程安排，充分做好準備工作，以積極的心態隨時迎接新賽季到來。在這個特殊時期，真正做到團結一心，眾志成城，共克時艱。（曲小尤）

虎撲3月20日訊 據《天津日報》記者顧穎報導，足協官方關於天海准入的信息得到下周中才公佈，天海隊員們今天開始了解除隔離后的第一次全隊正式訓練。

從上午11:00直練到午後13:10，待回房間洗完澡到餐廳吃飯，幾乎已經是14:00了，3月20日，是天海隊員們解除隔離后的第一次全隊正式訓練，氣氛十分活躍，大家練得也非常投入，每個人都出了「幾身大汗」。還沒正式成為球隊的一員的張成林，在剛剛真正春暖花開的季節，已經乾脆穿著短袖上衣、短褲開練了，看著他一身線條清晰的肌肉，連隊友們都開玩笑說他是個純粹的「練家子」。

原本，很多隊員曾盼望中國足協能在他們這次集結開練之前，把三級聯賽參賽俱樂部的具體名單公佈出來，能在聽到球隊准入通關的好消息后，在訓練中歡慶，不過很可惜，足協的官方信息得到下周中才公佈，忐忑的心情仍在繼續，可大家還能高質量完成訓練，換位思考就能分明體會，做到這一點非常不容易。

訓練開始前，教練組長李瑋鋒給隊員們講了他心裏裝著的三件事：第一，俱樂部還沒收到有關准入與否的任何消息，這個時候，站在他的角度，希望隊里每個人能憑著自己的職業態度、職業精神，全身心的投入訓練，努力本身，也是爭取最好結果的一部分，也是在為未來做積極的打算；第二，每個人看待問題、考慮問題的方式、角度都不同，很正常，可能隊里有的人，在生活中都無法成為朋友，但是作為隊友，在工作中、訓練中、比賽中，一定要相互尊重、相互配合、相互幫助，這個大原則，任何時候都不能變；第三，很感謝隊員們，在過去一段比較特殊的時期里，還能顧全大局、堅持信念，包容和忍讓很多東西，體現了比平時更強的團隊凝聚力。

也許李瑋鋒的這番話，作為局內人的隊員們，會有更深的體會，而堅持信念的，又何止隊里的國內球員。球隊結束昆明集訓後放假，外援萊昂納多根本沒回家，直接和球隊一起返回了天津，他要跟球隊同在，怕一旦回去了，受疫情影響就回不來了。回韓國休假的宋株熏在隊伍被隔離后得到通知暫時不要回來，隨後外界有傳聞說他要去其他中超球隊，可實際情況是，3月18日，宋株熏在球隊解除隔離的當天就返回了天津，按他自己的說法，哪怕還沒有球隊准入的消息，他也不想等了，回天津后他也要按規定隔離14天，早一天回來，他就能早一天解除隔離隨隊訓練，他相信球隊一定能活下去。

虎撲3月20日訊 深圳佳兆業隊主教練多納多尼和助教馬達洛尼隨隊返回深圳，義大利目前疫情嚴重，多納多尼與馬達洛尼十分關注目前的最新情況，他們在接受《足球》報採訪時表示，對義大利來說，來自中國的幫助非常重要。

關於義大利目前的情況

馬達洛尼：我生活在義大利的維亞雷焦，我所了解的是，這座城市目前狀況是，為了戰勝疫情，正採取著像中國一樣的有效措施，居民都在房子里隔離，只有遇到重要情況才會出門。在義大利，我們試圖通過中國模式來戰勝疫情，採取一切行之有效的辦法，不過義大利人天性自由奔放，想他們像中國人民一樣長期呆在家裡，有些不可思議。

關於抗疫過程中中國給予義大利的支持

馬達洛尼：作為一位在中國生活了8年的義大利公民，我非常高興地看到，兩國的合作關係變得十分牢固和深厚，看到中國政府派遣有經驗的醫生幫助義大利並捐贈口罩、醫療器械，給急需幫助的義大利醫院以支持。這些行動，讓義大利人民看到了希望。為了表示感謝中國人民，義大利街頭響起了中國國歌，我也希望能夠藉此機會，對中國表示感謝，我很自豪地說，在這裏生活的8年我很幸福，也很高興中國一直在我的祖國和義大利人民身邊，謝謝中國！我愛中國！

關於深足這一次漫長的冬訓

馬達洛尼：今年深足的海外拉練先在西班牙進行第一階段，然後在迪拜進行第二階段，團隊和球員建立了良好的聯繫，從最初中國經歷疫情到疫情在蔓延，我們都在一起經歷並且解決隨之帶來的擔心。

儘管奧運聖火已經於20日抵達日本，但越來越多的日本運動員、專家和普通民眾並不相信奧運會還能如期舉行。

根據日本共同社近日公佈的一項調查顯示，在全球爆發新冠肺炎疫情的背景下，69.9%的受訪者認為東京奧運會和殘奧會無法如期進行，而認為可以如期進行的數據僅為24.5%。

在運動員一邊，奧運會羽毛球女單衛冕冠軍、西班牙名將馬林·馬丁已表示，如果奧運一定要開，她寧可放棄參賽……

這種對於奧運前景並不明朗的猜測和質疑，令圍繞奧運會的整個生態系統陷入停滯。美國《紐約時報》就記錄下了這一切。

雖然面臨疫情威脅，但東京的街頭依舊擁擠。

冷清的奧運特許商店，迷茫的商人

一個周二的下午，在距離東京新宿車站只有幾步遠的一家奧運特許商店，貨架上擺滿了體恤衫、運動鞋、茶壺等商品，但卻只有很少的幾個人為此駐足。

自從肺炎疫情發生到現在，日本的旅遊業大受影響，而這家奧運特許商店的員工介紹，店裡的客流量大約下降了80%。

60歲的吉川俊在他的午休時間來買一個鑰匙鏈。儘管他已經通過官方彩票獲得了奧運會跳水比賽的門票，但他覺得奧運會可能會推遲舉辦。

在日本民眾中，持有這樣想法的人並不在少數。

日本共同社近日公佈的一項調查顯示，69.9%的受訪者認為東京奧運會和殘奧會無法如期進行。

日本新建的奧運網球場館。

「我們很想在三月能夠得到一些指示，奧運會還能不能如期舉辦」，東京一家皮具批發商的總經理藤田俊彥說，「如果奧運會取消，那麼我們剩下的產品也不需要生產。」

但現在沒有任何官方說法，這些商人只能在不確定的未來中獨自承擔風險，他們甚至面臨著巨大的經濟壓力。

在東京上野附近有一家名叫福吉龍岡的旅店，老闆鈴木亨介紹，「自從四月份的航班一個接一個地被取消，之後我們就沒有任何預訂。」

尤其是到目前為止，奧運會期間的房間還沒有任何人來預定，因為不再有來自中國或者是其他國家的遊客，他面臨著最高70%-80%的經濟損失。

還有津吉和福卡斯兩人，他們在奧運會帆船比賽臨近東京的一個小島上蓋的新房，原本是打算在奧運期間租住給運動員或者是粉絲，藉此小賺一筆，但現在卻可能要承擔還不上貸款的風險。

「如果奧運會被取消或者是推遲，我們可能真的要被新冠肺炎弄破產了。」

各家讚助商早已布局了東京奧運會。

左右為難，經濟壓力難以承受

在這一場經濟豪賭中，如可口可樂、豐田、三星等讚助了奧運會的大品牌方，以及酒店、安保公司、旅行社等小企業，都在做著兩手準備，要麼奧運會舉行，要麼奧運會取消。

但如果奧運會被取消，對於自從去年開始經濟增速就已經逐漸放緩的日本來說，無疑是毀滅性的打擊。有分析機構此前預測，那將會給日本經濟帶來1.5%的經濟萎縮。

「我認為第一季度和第二季度經濟幾乎肯定會萎縮。因此，現在所有人的問題是，7月至9月的季度是否會萎縮，」野村研究所經濟學家木內登英稱。

而為了承辦東京奧運會，日本方面已經投入了巨大的成本。

2019年年末，東京奧組委官方曾預估，承辦東京奧運會的總成本約為1.35萬億日元，由東京市政府、東京奧組委以及日本中央政府共同承擔，其中東京市政府出資5970億日元，東京奧組委出資6030億日元，中央政府出資1500億日元。

但據日本一家審計事務所評估稱，最終實際支出的成本或許將是1.35萬億日元的兩倍——從2013年獲得奧運會主辦權至2018年，日本政府的支出約為1.06萬億日元，幾乎是預算的十倍。

而最新的數據，據《紐約時報》報導，日本經濟研究中心高級研究員齋藤君介紹，僅比賽場館建設和酒店擴容方面，日本就已經投入了320億美元到410億美元。

在巨大的辦賽成本之下，讚助商的高額讚助費以及門票等收入原本可以一定程度緩解經濟壓力。根據此前的數據預估，東京奧運會門票預計總銷量約為780萬張，收入將超過14億美元……

這也就不難理解，若是東京奧運會被取消，東京奧組委稱將不退門票。

「當東京奧組委因不可抗力因素未能履行2020年東京奧運會門票規章中規定的義務時，組委會不用承擔相關責任……」

奧運聖火在希臘點燃。

孤立無援，日本仍稱如期舉辦

東京奧運會取消無疑是最壞的後果，但更壞的是——現在無法預測肺炎疫情在接下來幾個月的走向。

在當地時間3月19日，日本首相安倍晉三在參議院總務委員會上表示，東京將舉辦一屆「完整」的奧運會和殘奧會。

其中「完整」的涵義，安倍晉三解釋，「首先，它對於運動員和觀眾來說必須是安全的；其次，它必須是激動人心的。」

安倍還表示，在幾天前的七國集團首腦電話會議上，與會領導人都表示了對日本以「完整」的形式舉行奧運會和殘奧會的支持。

「奧運不會被推遲或者取消，現在重要的是奧運會和殘奧會要『完整』地舉行。」

但這一說法或許並不能夠「完整」地使人信服。

尤其是考慮到日本奧委會副主席小澤一郎此前已經被確診為新冠肺炎，以及此前在處理「公主號」郵輪的疫情問題上造成700多人感染、6人死亡，外界已經開始質疑日本的疫情管控能力。

據日本放送協會消息，截至當地時間3月20日上午11時，日本新冠肺炎感染者共計達到962人，目前日本國內感染新冠肺炎患者的死亡人數為33人。

日本政府和東京奧組委始終堅持按時舉辦東京奧運會，或許是由於目前日本新冠肺炎感染人數和死亡率還較低，但事實上日本的新冠肺炎檢測率也很低——在過去一個月，日本進行了32125次檢測，這大約是韓國在疫情高峰期三天內進行的檢測數量。

因此有分析稱，必須要對前往日本持警惕態度，因為不確定是否有數以千計的未發現病例。

韓國公州國立大學國際關係副教授林恩俊就表示，「我們並不百分之百確定，目前一切都在日本掌控之下。」

越來越多的專家學者建議日本應當承認現實，推遲或取消奧運會，儘管那會帶來經濟損失等一系列的麻煩，但或許推遲一年是最好的決定。

如今，疫情的確已經影響了運動員備戰，不少奧運資格賽也推遲或取消，就連日本財務大臣麻生太郎都表示，「如果許多國家的運動員不能參加奧運會，舉辦奧運會『沒有意義』。」

奧運會的命運，早已不是日本一方能夠決定的命題。

目前歐洲五大聯賽都處在停擺狀態，英超就表示會至少暫停至4月30日，不過來自德國的病毒專家卻表示，足球比賽應該至少等到2021年才能恢復。

提出這個觀點的是一位來自漢堡Berhard-Nocht研究所的一位病毒專家，他名叫喬納斯，他就認為，從目前的疫情情況來看，要想在4、5月份就讓各大聯賽恢復正常，無異於痴人說夢。

喬納斯表示：「我認為我們不能在4月份重新開始比賽，即使是空場比賽也不行，因為這樣也可能會有人們聚集在家中觀看比賽。我堅持認為，只有等到明年，我們才能重新開始足球比賽。我認為順利結束本賽季的聯賽是非常不現實的。」

受到疫情影響，各大聯賽紛紛停擺，目前暫定4月份陸續恢復比賽。而原定於今夏進行的歐洲杯，也已經確定將會推遲到明年進行。（林登萬）

記者林彥臣／綜合報導

美軍羅斯福號航母戰鬥群日前在南海，偕同美利堅遠征打擊群、美國海軍陸戰隊第31遠征軍在南海進行為期3天的軍演，甚至提康德羅加級還實施實彈射擊。

美國太平洋艦隊臉書在臉書中發文指出，提康德羅加級巡洋艦邦克山號（USS Bunker Hill）本周在南中國海實施近迫武器方陣快砲實彈射擊。

由於中國武漢爆發的新冠肺炎（COVID-19）陰影籠罩全球，就連美軍也傳出確診案例，目前有49名現役軍人遭到感染，也包括駐亞太地區美軍，但是目前在南海軍演的相關戰艦，都沒有傳出有人感染新冠肺炎。

美國海軍軍醫總長吉里漢姆少將（Rear Admiral Bruce Gillingham）19日表示，海軍對上艦人員實施了嚴格的身體檢查措施，到目前只為止感染新冠肺炎的海軍人員都在岸上。

〔中央社〕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。」

〔記者蔡宗憲／屏東報導〕墾丁國小老舊校舍重建或與墾管處換地遷建問題，因為無端被扯入「為財團解套」，近期當地出現正反兩極討論聲音，屏縣府教育處今將在墾丁國小舉辦首場地方說明會；屏縣府強調，破舊校舍問題能否儘快重建，供學童正常教學才是重中之重，如地方堅持原地重建，縣府也尊重當地意願。

「若換地重建，原校地歸屬墾管處。」屏縣府教育處指出，外界質疑的「圖利財團」臆測實屬荒謬，因為假使遷校方案成立，原校地將歸屬墾管處，與縣府進行的教師會館BOT案，兩者基本上毫無相關。屏縣府教育處表示，原墾丁國小教室必須重建狀況下，墾管處提出這塊牌樓右後方5公頃的地點交換，縣府評估未來能夠提供學童更佳學習環境，進一步規劃兼具國際與科技供各校一起使用的校園，才決定提出構想與地方討論。

一名墾丁國小學生家長認為，校舍重建的重點，是影響學生受教權益多久，以及重建後能否提供更好的教學品質，摻雜臆測或情感因素，都模糊校舍重建或遷建問題；如原地重建可能影響多年的教學，縣府應該充分向現在及未來可能就讀的學生家長說明。

接獲不少當地家長意見的當地律師張怡認為，學生需要安心上課的地點，如果大街夜市或財團影響校園，那應該是移走它們並非校舍；當地利益龐大的校地確實成為居民質疑遷校的動機，建議屏縣府仍應優先考慮原地重建的方案。

屏縣府教育處處長江國樑表示，教育的立場只考慮怎麼做對孩子學習更有利，因專業建築師都認為，原地重建周邊地下遍佈珊瑚礁岩恐將「卡關」多年，組合屋或借用其他學校教室將影響正常教學，在墾管處的提議下才考慮打造更優質學習環境，目前「原地重建」及「換地遷建」都是縣府考慮方向，會尊重當地主流民意決定。

中國外交部發言人耿爽今（日被問到「中方是否已經收到美國政府官方援助」時回應，「迄今為止中方從未收到以美國政府名義捐助的資金或物資」、「請美方盡快將這筆物資捐助給更需要它的國家」。（法新社）

〔即時新聞／綜合報導〕中國武漢肺炎疫情不斷延燒，中國外交部發言人耿爽今（20）日被問到「中方是否已經收到美國政府官方援助」時回應，「迄今為止中方從未收到以美國政府名義捐助的資金或物資」、「請美方盡快將這筆物資捐助給更需要它的國家」；消息一出，許多中國「愛國人士」紛紛嘲諷，「美國詐捐」、「光說我也會」，更大力吹捧，「耿爽回的好」。

綜合中媒報導，中國外交部發言人耿爽今天主持例行記者會時，被媒體問到，「美國政府官員近日曾在多個場合公開表示，將向中國等國家提供1億美元的抗疫援助。請問中方是否已經收到美國官方所提供的援助，具體有哪些？」

耿爽回應，「別的國家是否收到我不清楚，但我可以明確地告訴你，迄今為止，中方從未收到以美國政府名義捐助的資金或物資。」。

耿爽也指出，美國國際開發署曾承諾向中方提供一批口罩、防護服等醫療物資，但直到11日告訴中方已準備好有關物資」，但「考慮到當前中國的疫情防控已經取得積極成效」，中方已經正式回復美方表示感謝，並請美方盡快將這筆物資援助給「更需要它的國家」。

由於疫情爆發後「中美矛盾」加深，消息一出，許多中國「愛國人士」紛紛嘲諷，「美國詐捐」、「感謝美國的口頭物資，已經聽到了」、「美國好不要臉」、「防疫他不行，嘴炮第一名」、「之前我還以為川普良心發現了，原來是個幌子」、「就是這麼霸氣，沒有收到也不需要 」，更大力吹捧「耿爽懟（回）的好」、「好喜歡耿爽」。

印度電影歌手卡妮卡從倫敦回國後，沒有進行自主隔離，反而四處參加派對，今宣布武漢肺炎檢測呈陽性。（擷取自Kanika Kapoor臉書）

〔即時新聞／綜合報導〕印度電影歌手卡妮卡（Kanika Kapoor）今（20日）在IG上宣布自己武漢肺炎（COVID-19）檢測呈陽性，成為印度感染的首位藝人。卡妮卡和其他三人在印度北方邦勒克瑙（Lucknow）檢測出呈陽性反應，使北方邦目前的總病例數達到19人。

綜合外媒報導，卡妮卡於3月15日從倫敦回到勒克瑙，並注意到自己有流感跡象，自行前往檢測後在IG寫道：「過去4天，我有流感的徵兆，我前去檢測，結果呈陽性反應。現在，我和我的家人已經完全隔離，並接受相關醫療建議。」

卡妮卡因未進行自我隔離而遭到網友抨擊，她留在勒克瑙期間，不僅參加、甚至舉辦了一場100多人的聚會，其中有許多政府官員出席。網友認為，她從倫敦回國就應該進行自主隔離，但她沒有，甚至還參加三個派對，因此指責她「不負責任」與「未受過教育」。

卡妮卡已被送往勒克瑙的喬治國王醫科大學（KGMU）醫院，衛生部門的官員通知了所有和她住同一棟公寓的民眾，並對曾經與她接觸過的人進行了測試。

〔記者張協昇／南投報導〕南投縣水里鄉發生兩名國中生互嗆，其中一人怒擲美工刀，不幸刺中同學頸動脈致死事件。對此，衛福部草屯療養院精神科醫師沈政男說，青少年血氣方剛，在日常生活中，如果經常身陷人際衝突，可以在師長與家人協助下，學習認識自己在怎樣的場合與哪些人互動、聽到哪些話，或者受到哪些刺激之下，比較容易情緒失控，並試著學習避開這些誘發情境。

沈政男強調，青少年可以學習當衝動來時，不管想要罵人或打人，可告訴自己先轉頭或轉身離開，默數到十，忍下回擊的衝動，並趕緊向師長求助。

南投縣政府教育處學生輔導諮商中心督導林育民則說，學校輔導老師平時應針對高關懷學生進行自我情緒覺察引導，教導學生如何在情緒起來時讓心情平靜下來，避免類似不幸事件發生，教育處會深入了解這起事件發生原因，並對同班或目擊學生進行安心輔導。

〔記者洪瑞琴／台南報導〕台南市今（20）日傳出某校高中生自奧地利旅遊返台，沒有居家檢疫卻到校上課而引起恐慌，南市教育局今晚澄清表示，該名學生沒有到奧地利，而是他的家人去奧地利旅遊，配合中央指揮中心18日宣布政策，擴大回溯自3月5日到3月14日，有歐洲旅遊史相關人員要居家檢疫14天，他與家人生活一起也跟著要配合，教育局籲請學校師生與民眾勿恐慌。

南市教育局長鄭新輝強調，對於居家檢疫個案的防疫應變措施，都已發布通知各校，包括請防疫假及在家學習的線上教學資源都有， 「停課不停學、學習不中斷」的建置都已超前部署，可能學校說明不夠，學生也不清楚，以致學生到校上課引發誤解。

鄭新輝表示，校方是在下課時間，告知這名學生可請防疫假，配合居家檢疫可以不要到校上課，並非外傳上課半途中被「請出去」。不過，鄭新輝也直言，校方未宣導周全做到位，將以此案例再加強宣導，要求各校務必落實調查，並提供居家檢疫個案線上教學。

據了解，網傳該名高中生上週自奧地利旅遊返台後，從16日上課一直到今天，才被通知須居家檢疫，老師衝進教室請學生趕緊離開學校，引起學生與家長恐慌。

〔即時新聞／綜合報導〕武漢肺炎疫情在全球狂燒，引發各國民眾恐慌，紛紛搶囤生活物資，超市貨架幾乎全被掃空，英國一名在武漢肺炎重症病房工作的護士，近日結束48小時值班後，本來打算在超市買點生鮮蔬果，卻發現蔬果全被搶光，讓她難過得當場落淚，隨後更PO出這段自身經歷，聲淚俱下懇求民眾停止搶購，留一些給第一線醫護人員來維持營養均衡、保持健康。

〔即時新聞／綜合報導〕武漢肺炎疫情持續延燒，中國江蘇南京、蘇州、常州各地卻出現官職「全體摘口罩參會」的場面。對此，有中媒稱此為「表達恢復生活生產秩序的信心」；另一方面，許多中國網友卻吐槽：「真是個好示範」、「膽子是有多大」。

綜合中媒報導，南京市委市政府19日舉行新聞發布會，發言人當著媒體的面取下口罩，當時面對記者提問，主持人坦言：「根據疫情變化總體情況，從今天發布會起，發布人員不再配戴口罩。」

類似狀況也發生在蘇州、常州等地。其中，蘇州市常委會20日召開會議，根據照片顯示，場內數十人全都摘下口罩開會，內文僅提到會場有做好通風工作。

報導指出，疫情目前在境內獲得控制，根據江蘇全域及蘇州的疫情風險降低，「可以認為，領導摘口罩開會是有充分科學依據。」還說官職帶頭摘口罩，同時也在表達恢復生活生產秩序的信心。

然而，此舉引來許多中國網友擔心，紛紛說，「境外輸入案例不管了」、「明天有一個發燒確診就全部玩完」、「讓醫生們歇歇好嗎」、「這叫自我毀滅的最好方式」、「領導摘口罩那叫鼓舞士氣，老百姓摘口罩那叫給疫情添亂」。

不過，也有網友表示支持，「領導也是頂著壓力摘口罩的，不然等全國都沒了再摘，這日子還過嗎？」

阿爾登19日接受《1 News》連線專訪，談及紐西蘭的防疫措施，她指出，政府已經開始需要民眾彼此之間保持距離，開始盡可能地減少與他人的聯繫，也將為民眾準備好充足的資訊，她認為，雖然這是非常艱難的時期，「但是我對紐西蘭人充滿信心，這是我們真正團結在一起的時刻。」

阿爾登說，只有在社區感染爆發後，學校才會關閉，政府也需要為更大規模的封鎖行動作好準備，她要求紐西蘭民眾密切注意政府的疫情網站，並提到官方一直在努力超前部署。

從新聞片段可見，主持人希拉里．巴里（Hilary Barry）提問：「我們都很希望能夠延緩（疫情傳播）速度」，但現在是否為時已晚，紐西蘭是否還可能控制疫情？阿爾登回答，相信紐西蘭做得到，就像其他國家（countries），如台灣、新加坡與香港，但想要成功就必須要全民配合，「這就是我懇求紐西蘭人的地方」。

阿爾登的言論在社群網站「reddit」引發紐西蘭網友讚賞，不少人留言指出，「是的，他X的中共、「太棒了，她可能會獲得我的選票」、「因為她夠聰明，讓我認為這種發言是基於有意識的選擇」、「希望中國中斷與紐西蘭的外交關係」、「期待中共的眼淚」。

〔記者王捷／台南報導〕65歲吳先生在2年前被診斷出肝癌，腫瘤大小約直徑5公分，隨即接受腫瘤燒灼手術，並接受5個月的C型肝炎治療，雖然有回診追蹤，但在去年4月接受超音波檢查時，發現腫瘤又復發，相當難過，嘗試中醫輔助療法，經台南市立醫院中醫部林才備醫師診治4個月，體重上升，氣色紅潤，腫瘤甚至變小了，令吳先生欣喜不已。

林醫師說，近期研究發現，腫瘤患者與生物節律紊亂及視交叉上核失節率有密切相關，因此，維持腫瘤患者正常的晝夜節律，有助延長生存期，提高生活質量，也有研究指出「肝俞」與「至陽」兩穴對生物節律具有調節作用。林醫師為吳先生經辨病與辨證後，開立了運化中焦與抑制腫瘤細胞生長的中藥，再加上電針肝俞、至陽等穴道，3到4個月期間接受中醫治療與西醫追蹤，體重由原先44.7公斤上升至46.4公斤，氣色也變紅潤，經核磁共振檢查，發現腫瘤居然縮小，由3.9公分縮小為1.5公分。

林醫師表示，中醫是強調全身辯證，不僅著重腫瘤局部也看全身的病因和疾病發生與變化的機制，不只預防轉移也改善不適症狀，尤其手術、化療、放射線療法後的副作用。此外，針灸可以通過經絡穴位達到全身調理，也可以在表淺部位腫瘤四周做局部治療以抑制腫瘤。林醫師強調，中西醫合作治療腫瘤並不矛盾，且可各自發揮自身優勢，以達更好療效，造福更多患者。

〔即時新聞／綜合報導〕2019冠狀病毒疾病（COVID-19，下稱武漢肺炎）疫情在全球迅速擴散，美國疫情嚴峻，政府防疫全面升級，美國務院發出旅遊警示，將全球列為最高第四級「不要前往」。美國在台協會（AIT）對此發布通知，呼籲在台美人盡速返國。

美國務院警告，由於武漢肺炎疫情，全美國民都應避免出國；除非打算長期待在國外，否則人在國外者應盡快返國，同時呼籲海外國民也不要前往其他國家。

國務院表示，許多國家正處於疫情期間，實施旅行禁令、強制隔離、關閉邊境及禁止外籍人士入境等措施，國際航班、船班也都被取消或延期，如果仍執意出國，將受到強烈干擾，且可能會被迫留在國外一段時間。

美國在台協會在官方臉書直指出，美國國務院已提升全球旅遊警示至第四級，意為「不宜旅行」，目前有許多海外美國公民表示，愈來愈多的航班逐漸取消，導致返回美國日漸困難，呼籲計畫返美的海外美國公民盡快安排返美行程。

此外，美國在台協會也提醒簽證申請人，自3月20日起，美國在台協會暫停常態性移民和非移民簽證預約，也暫停免親自面談的簽證申請案件，預計盡快恢復簽證服務，但目前無法提供確切日期。

〔即時新聞／綜合報導〕武漢肺炎疫情全球延燒，斯里蘭卡宣布於週五（20日）晚間開始實施宵禁，以加強控制病毒的傳播。印度政府也於19日宣布，將於22日實施日間宵禁。雖然防疫政策陸續實施，南亞大多數的國家仍維持清真寺的開放，每週五的大型禮拜恐成為下一個韓國或馬來西亞疫情爆發的翻版。

據《路透》報導，雖然南亞受到武漢肺炎的影響程度不如其他地區那麼嚴重，不過在巴基斯坦、印度與斯里蘭卡新確診的人數正加速上升中。斯里蘭卡目前的確診人數為70人。為了減緩疫情的擴散狀況，斯里蘭卡已於當地時間週五的晚上6點開始實施宵禁，禁令將持續到週一的早上6點。

印度則是將於22日實施一天的全國宵禁，禁止民眾於上午7時至晚上9時出門。作為世界人口第二大國，印度的確診人數已超過200人。

斯里蘭卡也已下令關閉清真寺每週五的主麻日集體禮拜，然而其他南亞國家仍然維持開放。儘管政府已呼籲民眾避免大型聚集活動，但大多數的信徒並不予理會。甚至有伊斯蘭教士透過擴音器向民眾宣達，「不要害怕病毒，因為它無法勝過我們的信仰。」

在韓國與馬來西亞都出現有染病信徒參與大型宗教禮拜而致使疫情大爆發的現象，同樣的情形恐怕也將在其他南亞國家發生。尤其印度接下來即將迎接印度教的重要節日「拉瑪節」（Ram Navami），預計將帶來數百萬的信徒聚集至聖城阿約提亞（Ayodhya）。政府正在研議是否取消節慶，一名官員表示，將在未來幾天內發布正式的命令。

〔記者王定傳／新北報導〕鍾姓男子認為父親拋下母親，讓她獨自照顧年幼的他及重病在床的祖母，還發生外遇，提訴要求父親不能繼承母親的遺產；他並拿出母親痛罵父親：「你風花雪月，我一肩挑起一切重擔...還怨我～村姑」的日記及「遺產歸兒子所有」遺囑為證，新北地院法官認為，鍾父確實有「重大虐待及侮辱」行為，判決繼承權不存在。

據了解，鍾母在前年過世後，留下3筆土地、1間房產及存款遺產，依法，她的丈夫也有繼承權，不過，2人之子不同意遂提出確認繼承權不存在之訴。

鍾男列舉父親不負責任之舉，例如，父親30年前拋下母親前往中國，鮮少回家，讓母親獨自照顧年幼的他及呈現植物人狀態的祖母，母親須時常替祖母「翻身、拍痰」，一度因太累昏倒受傷；若有回家也常對母親大小聲，罵她「村姑」，甚至在中國發生婚外情，害母親抑鬱寡歡。

他並提出母親的日記，內容中，可看出她對丈夫極度不滿，例如：「老公在中國養小老婆，我只能苦笑」、「這個婚姻帶給我的傷害，一輩子的痛，很痛」、「你風花雪月，我一肩挑起一切重擔，承擔一切，你沒有體會不打緊，還怨我～村姑」等語，另又寫下遺囑表明遺產歸兒子所有。

鍾父否認偷情、共組家庭、私生子，認為妻子所寫的日記只是「幻想」，並強調自己隻身前往中國賺錢供家庭花費，絕無沒給錢一事。

法官綜合親友證詞、遺囑及日記等證據後判定，鍾父獨留妻子在台照顧幼子，還須跟其他家人輪流照顧病重的婆婆，雖曾有給家用，但她仍須工作養家，鍾不僅未協助、關心，竟然外遇並辱妻村姑，已屬重大虐待及侮辱行為。

記者劉宛欣／綜合報導

南韓演員朱智勛在2009年因涉嫌吸食大麻而遭拘留起訴，判6個月有期徒刑，緩刑1年，中斷了演藝活動，直到近年才連續以《與神同行》、《屍戰朝鮮》（原《李屍朝鮮》）等作品重回事業巔峰。近日隨著《屍戰朝鮮》與《Hyena》熱播，他的這段「黑歷史」則再度引起了討論。

▲朱智勛在2009年曾因吸大麻遭判刑。（圖／《Hyena》劇照）

朱智勛2006年以《宮》的皇太子李信一角走紅全亞洲，然而就在事業如日中天之時，爆出了吸食大麻醜聞，最後也遭判6個月有期徒刑，緩刑1年，以及勒令執行120小時的社會服務。事實上，當時檢方調查的過程中，朱智勛毒品檢測結果其實為陰性，但朱智勛依然在接受調查時，承認了所有的嫌疑。

朱智勛方面在當時表示「在1年多前服用了1、2次，而毒品檢測是在1年後才進行，所以結果才會是陰性」，但是因為他本人為此深感慚愧，無法昧著良心說謊，為了負起應負的責任、得到該有懲罰，最後決定自白所有的事實。

▲朱智勛（中）當時的毒品檢測結果為陰性。（圖／《屍戰朝鮮》劇照）

對此，南韓網友紛紛表示「好帥氣啊」、「最近看到他努力活動的樣子，真的很欣慰」、「即使犯了錯，但願意勇敢承擔、自白、努力活動的樣子，看起來真的很好」、「其他有些人明明做了，但還是死不認錯，死皮賴臉的繼續活動」、「誠實地認錯，接受懲罰之後回歸的樣子，真的很棒，千萬不要再犯了」。

新冠肺炎疫情持續升溫，造成人心惶惶，民眾更因為預期心理影響，開始採買囤貨民生用品，掀起一波物資搶購潮。藝人吳鳳見狀有感而發地表示：「台灣明明疫情控制的不錯，需要這樣搶東西嗎？」

吳鳳透露自己20日去了趟超市，「因為需要一些食物，天哪！蛋沒有了！肉沒有了！一些人拿一堆衛生紙出來。」他無奈地表示：「台灣明明疫情控制的不錯，需要這樣搶東西嗎？」他更認為大家都只在乎自己過的好不好，不太想其他人的狀況，他更直言：「每次世界遇到一個危機，我們人類心裡的自私心就出來了！」

【吳鳳Facebook全文】

每次世界遇到一個危機，我們人類心裡的自私心就出來了！

最近看到世界各地的超市幾乎都被搶購，土耳其麵被搶光，美國一堆人搶衛生紙。

今天我去超市因為需要一些食物，天哪！蛋沒有了！肉沒有了！

一些人拿一堆衛生紙出來！台灣明明疫情控制的不錯，需要這樣搶東西嗎？

因為搞不好另外一個人很需要衛生紙，有可能家裡有病人等等！

但是看起來大家都在乎自己過的好不好而已，不太想其他人的狀況。

我早上去買一些食物的時候就正常買，也完全不覺得需要一堆衛生紙！一個人一天可以上廁所幾次呢？

其實遇到這種危機狀況，我們更需要同理心。

不然每個人去搶東西，最後還是會害到自己跟生活的土地。

畢竟這些商品都是資源，也屬於大家。

因此我希望大家注意個人的需求，不要過度浪費資源。

為了你！為了我們！為了地球

台北寧夏夜市今年春節移師新加坡聖淘沙，結果攤商遭主辦單位拖欠款項，不過，寧夏夜市秘書長范弼凱今天指出，經與主辦單位協商，預計 27 日會歸還遭拖欠的所有款項。

新加坡版寧夏夜市 1 月 16 日到 2 月 9 日在新加坡知名的觀光景點聖淘沙西樂索海灘登場，共有 30 攤人氣美食，吸引新加坡人造訪，品嘗蚵仔煎、牛肉麵、豆花與珍珠奶茶等美食。場地與食材由新加坡主辦單位提供，攤販則負責烹煮美食。

根據新加坡媒體新明日報報導，主辦單位阿波羅娛樂媒體負責人郭煜輝指出，的確有一筆錢必須延後支付給夜市攤商，這次受 2019 冠狀病毒疾病（COVID- 19 ，武漢肺炎）疫情影響，夜市總體虧損約新幣 130 萬元（約新台幣 2700 萬元）。

郭煜輝說，目前資金調度的確出現挑戰，希望夜市攤販體諒。

寧夏夜市目前已有兩名代表到新加坡等待主辦單位回覆。范弼凱今天傍晚告訴記者，主辦單位共拖欠總數近新幣 6 萬元，但郭煜輝已於 17 日先匯款新幣 1 萬元表達還款誠意，雙方昨天約定將於 23 日見面交付新幣 1 萬 5000 元到 2 萬元，另將會在 27 日結清其餘款項。

另外，范弼凱認為，這次赴新加坡參與活動的整體流程不錯，寧夏夜市攤商也是做了一件很有意義的事情。

新加坡版寧夏夜市除第一個週末有 9000 人參與外，第 2 週就受武漢肺炎疫情影響，連續兩個週末只有吸引到 3000 人參與，而平時更只有約 1000 人。

聯合國世界糧食計畫署（WFP）署長畢斯利發表聲明說，他已感染武漢肺炎（COVID－ 19 ， 2019 冠狀病毒疾病），現正與世糧署團隊合作，追蹤他在不知自己染病期間曾近距離接觸過的所有人。

美國有線電視新聞網（CNN）報導，曾擔任美國南卡羅來納州州長的畢斯利（David Beasley）昨天在書面聲明中說：「我們已開始連絡這些人，對他們每一位發出警告，好讓他們察覺自己也有可能感染病毒。」

聲明中並說：「我在剛過去的這個週末結束加拿大官方行程返回美國家中後，開始感到不舒服，於是在 5 天前儘早決定自我隔離。至今我的症狀比較輕微，心情不錯。幸運的是，我有家人在身旁，也享有良好的醫療照顧。」

與此同時，美國國家廣播公司新聞網（NBC News）報導，公司內一名員工艾傑華斯（Larry Edgeworth）在驗出武漢肺炎陽性反應後病逝，他是在國家廣播公司紐約總公司的設備室工作。

土耳其衛生部長克扎指出，沒必要為武漢肺炎疫情宣布進入緊急狀態，建議民眾加強自我約束，並強調境內病毒散播恐將於未來 2 至 3 週達到高峰，「這段期間不該離開家門」。

「民眾常會問，會不會宣布緊急狀態。這沒必要，每個人應該宣布他自己進入緊急狀態並且執行（防疫）措施。」克扎（Fahrettin Koca）於 19 日告訴「自由日報」（Hurriyet）：「如果未來 2 至 3 週以最嚴格方式自我隔離，感染數可控制在最低水準。」

土耳其 11 日通報俗稱武漢肺炎的 2019 冠狀病毒疾病（COVID- 19 ）確診首例。衛生部於 19 日深夜指出，境內確診數達 359 例，累計 4 起身亡病例。

克扎指出，未來 2 至 3 週進入關鍵期，病毒在土耳其散播情況可能達到高峰，「未來 2 、 3 週我們必須非常謹慎，這段期間不該離開家門」。

他並表示，將在醫生建議下，對醫學上認定應該予以檢測的每一個人進行檢測。因為有可能第 2 次檢測才呈現陽性，並會在 3 天後對首次檢測呈陰性的人複驗。

各國對武漢肺炎有不同防疫作法。克扎指出，不支持英國沒有採取措施進行大規模檢測的作法。

印度知名女歌手卡普今天表示，自行檢測武漢肺炎病毒呈現陽性，造成早前與她共同出席晚宴的政治人物恐慌，印度總統柯文德也因此取消行程。

卡普（Kanika Kapoor）今天在社媒Instagram公布檢驗 2019 年冠狀病毒疾病（COVID- 19 ，俗稱武漢肺炎）呈現陽性，已被隔離在北方省勒克瑙（Lucknow）的喬治國王醫學大學。

印度媒體報導，卡普 15 日曾與幾名政治人物在勒克瑙出席 200 人晚宴。印度總統柯文德（Ram Nath Kovind） 18 日與和卡普出席同一晚宴的印度人民黨籍國會下院議員辛赫（Dushyant Singh）等人見面，可能有感染風險，被迫取消所有行程。

前拉吉斯坦省（Rajastan）省長菈姊（Vasundhara Raje）推文說，她和她的兒子、國會下院議員辛赫出席晚宴，不幸的是，同樣也是晚宴客人的卡普檢驗武漢肺炎病毒呈現陽性。

菈姊指出，她和兒子沒有出現任何症狀，但為謹慎，兩人已立即採取自我隔離及一切必要預防措施。

同樣出席晚宴、已自行隔離的崔納木國大黨（Trinamool Congress）的歐布萊恩（Derek O’Brien）惱怒地說，辛赫參加那場晚宴後，又出席國會會議。

歐布萊恩呼籲印度國會應暫時關閉，他批評，這屆政府讓所有人面臨風險，雖然總理莫迪（Narendra Modi）要求與感染者接觸者須自我隔離，但仍讓國會繼續開議。他前幾天坐在辛赫身旁 2 個半小時，另有 2 位國會議員也自我隔離，會期應該延後。

卡普 9 日由倫敦搭機返孟買，機場篩檢時沒有症狀， 2 天後前往勒克瑙，之後覺得喉嚨痛， 15 日出席勒克瑙的大型晚宴，約 200 名賓客如今面臨感染風險。

卡普的父親初步檢測也呈陽性，結果需進一步確認，母親的檢測結果為陰性。

印度衛生部官員表示，卡普違反強制居家隔離政策，政府將採懲罰性措施。

印度截至今天下午 5 時，累計武漢肺炎確診病例為 196 例，其中 4 人身亡， 22 人康復。

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。

義大利昨天創武漢肺炎確診 5 千多例的單日新高，仍有許多輕症患者未獲檢驗。卻爆出北義一家藥廠本週出售 50 萬份試劑給美國，美軍還派一架軍機來運貨，讓義國輿論驚呼離譜。

美國軍事新聞網「防務一號」（Defense One） 18 日獨家披露照片，一架載滿武漢肺炎試劑的美國軍機從北義飛到美國的曼菲斯（Memphis）。

這張照片在義國社群網站瘋傳，網友起初質疑是假消息，義大利此時怎麼可能還賣試劑給美國，不料義媒求證後發現是真的，出貨藥廠Copan Diagnostics還位在北義疫情極嚴重的城鎮布雷西亞（Brescia）。

「共和報」（La Repubblica）報導：「義大利從疫情爆發迄今，大約做了 10 萬多人的檢測量，這 50 萬份試劑足夠應付整個北義城市的急需，甚至可以在一些重災城市做地毯式檢驗，珍貴試劑卻被賣到了美國，我們國家政府有任何人知道這件事嗎？」

共和報質疑， 2019 冠狀病毒疾病（COVID- 19 ，武漢肺炎）的襲擊就像一場戰爭，每個國家都盡可能捍衛自己的醫療物資，包括口罩、檢驗試劑、呼吸器等，難道義大利政府不能設法將這些試劑留在義大利。

藥廠 Copan Diagnostics 則回應指出，這是一樁透明的商業交易，政府未限制檢驗試劑出口，藥廠事前沒有義務向政府報告，這 50 萬分試劑不是美國政府下單採購的，是美國民間藥廠購買的，美國派軍機來載運，只是因為目前沒有商用貨運通航。

藥廠指出，他們每週可以生產一千萬份檢驗試劑，到下週一預期將供貨義大利本土一百萬份試劑，很多義大利民眾抱怨迄今仍無法獲得檢驗，不是因為試劑不足，是因為能夠分析檢驗結果的實驗室不夠。

越南衛生部今天說，為了抑制武漢肺炎疫情擴散，越南將擴大對入境旅客的隔離措施，自明天起，所有入境旅客都要在改建的軍事基地中隔離 14 天。

越南先前一度宣布境內總計 16 例武漢肺炎確診患者全數病癒，未料疫情急轉直下，在當局隨後又宣布境外移入病例激增後，迄今已有 91 起武漢肺炎確診病例，但未有身亡病例傳出。

越南衛生部在聲明中表示，所有入境旅客將立即被載往重新改建的軍營隔離 14 天。聲明未提及這項措施將延續多久。

越南先前要求對來自美國、歐洲、東南亞國家協會（ASEAN）成員國的入境旅客進行隔離。

越南政府 18 日表示，數以千計的越南人準備飛回越南躲避海外快速升溫的疫情，越南政府正著手增加隔離場所來容納約 6 萬民眾。

不僅全國所有學校仍停課，越南當局也要求市區的電影院等娛樂場所關閉至 3 月底。此外，並建議民眾取消大型集會，並要求他們在公共場所戴口罩。

新加坡為降低武漢肺炎感染風險，祭出各種新的防疫措施，即日起到 6 月 30 日止，禁止超過 250 人以上的聚會與活動，另外，餐飲場所用餐座位至少要保持 1 公尺距離。

新加坡衛生部晚間最新公告，今天新增 40 起 2019 年冠狀病毒疾病（COVID- 19 ，武漢肺炎）確診病例，其中有 30 起從境外移入，多數曾造訪英國。新加坡確診累計達 385 例。

新加坡原本規定超過 250 人出席的文化、體育或娛樂的售票活動，應予取消或延期舉行，藉以減少民眾群聚接觸機會，但如今擴大範圍到所有活動。

根據衛生部公告，即日起到 6 月 30 日止，禁止舉辦超過 250 人以上的聚會與活動，少於 250 人以下活動，則要採取各種預防措施，讓參與者保持至少 1 公尺距離，確保場地通風良好，另要測量體溫，禁止身體不適者參加。

在餐飲業者部分，餐飲場所用餐座位至少要保持 1 公尺距離，如果採固定座位的餐廳或小販中心，業者要讓消費者採間隔座位方式用餐，讓消費者保持安全距離。休閒娛樂場所也要採取相關措施，減少消費者接觸機會。

衛生部公告指出，雇主應實施遠距辦公模式，讓員工在家辦公，或錯開員工的上下班時間，以及間隔 1 公尺座位距離。所有會議盡量以電話或視訊會議進行。

另外，新加坡從今晚 11 時 59 分起，所有從海外返回新加坡的公民、永久居民、工作證持有人與短期訪客，都要施行為期 14 天的「居家通告」（Stay Home Notice）。凡接獲「居家通告」的民眾， 14 天內不得外出，違反規定者將受處分。新加坡政府籲請民眾延後所有出國計畫，暫留新加坡。

新加坡先前已禁止過去 14 天曾赴中國、韓國、伊朗、義大利、法國、西班牙與德國的旅客入境或過境新加坡。所有郵輪均禁止靠岸。

新加坡目前並未打算調升「疾病爆發應對系統」（DORSCON）等級到紅色警戒，也不會封城鎖國。

「根據官方抗擊新冠病毒疫情的措施以及聯賽和訓練暫停的情況，我們宣布暫停發放運動員的全額工資，將他們列入臨時失業狀態。」

當地時間19日凌晨，里昂俱樂部官方宣布了這一決定，接下來球員只能獲得70%的稅前收入，這其中還有部分來自法國政府的臨時性失業補貼。

作為在世界足壇和德勞倫蒂斯齊名的「難搞」主席，奧拉斯做出此舉並不會太讓人意外，像水晶宮主席史蒂夫-帕里什就還在支付全額工資。不過通過這件事，還是讓我們著實感受到了新冠疫情帶來的寒意：

即便是法甲豪門，也難逃影響。

如果說豪門背後還有金主相撐，那麼對於法甲聯賽的中小俱樂部來說，這場疫情所帶來的影響才剛剛開始。根據國際知名會計事務所普華永道的分析，如果本賽季的法甲聯賽無法完成，電視轉播方面將損失1.5億-2億歐元，讚助收入方面將損失1億-1.4億歐元，加上已經無法取得的5000萬-6000萬比賽日收入，整體損失最少也要3億歐元。

德國媒體對本國聯賽的分析則更為直白。根據Sport1得到的消息，如果德甲聯賽取消，預計損失將高達7億歐元，德甲、德乙的36傢俱樂部，有9-10家將會面臨破產。用魯梅尼格的話來說，「歸根結底，職業足球就是關於財政。」

職業俱樂部的收入大致可以分為三塊：轉播分紅、讚助收入和比賽日收入，其中比賽日收入不僅包括門票，也包括球場周邊的商業收入。

不同的俱樂部，這三塊收入的比重也有所不同。普遍來說，豪門俱樂部的讚助收入是大頭，比賽日收入則佔比很少；而中小俱樂部則有所不同，比賽日收入依然佔據著重要位置，尤其是對一些無球星、不知名的俱樂部來說更是如此。

根據《曼徹斯特晚報》的統計，過去五個賽季，曼聯的比賽日收入只佔全部收入的17.5%。而另一項統計則顯示，如果不是英超賣出了高昂的轉播合同，四年前不靠比賽日收入就能實現稅前盈利的俱樂部只有兩支。

這也是各國聯賽面對疫情，第一反應是空場比賽的原因。相較於其他部分，比賽日收入是最容易被捨棄的。為了保住轉播和讚助收入，英足總此前還曾表示願意為中小俱樂部提供空場補貼。但是如果疫情遲遲得不到控制，而且不斷有球員、教練或工作人員感染，球隊就始終將面臨長時間的隔離，這對於職業聯賽來說，就是致命的打擊。

現在，英超就面臨著這樣的風險。當地時間3月19日下午，英足總、英超聯賽、英格蘭足球聯賽和女子足球職業聯賽再次宣布聯賽推遲，從此前的4月3日推遲至4月30日。

一方面，這表明了英國的疫情依然嚴峻，短期內不可能重開聯賽，另一方面，這也將英超聯賽推到了一個極為危險的位置。

如果想在6月30日球員合同到期前結束剩餘的比賽，那麼重開的最後時間點就在5月初，否則賽程將極為密集，不僅面臨球員到期離隊的問題，還有可能會影響到下賽季。如果那時疫情依舊無法控制，取消聯賽恐怕就將成為一個不得不考慮的選擇。

如今，情況已經非常清晰：歐洲各國疫情在短時間內難以得到有效控制，各家聯賽之前所設想的最佳安排也不得不一再改變。如果按照英國科學家的數據模型，英國的疫情高峰在6月中旬才會來臨，那麼各級聯賽必將受到沉重打擊。要知道，現在英國依然是五大聯賽所在國中，疫情相對輕微的國家。

「我現在不會浪費時間想這些問題。我們現在只想在6月30日之前完成聯賽。有的球員和俱樂部的合同簽到今年的6月30日，這是我們無法碰的，歐足聯和國際足聯也沒有權力管俱樂部和球員之間的合同問題。但是如果大家都有好的意願，一切都可以解決。」西甲聯盟主席特瓦斯在接受採訪時顯得信心十足，但病毒可不會賣他面子。

我們不能因為聯賽和俱樂部的生死存亡，將球員、教練和工作人員置於危險之地，但我們也不能讓聯賽和俱樂部倒在這場或許將曠日持久的至暗時刻。各國足協和聯賽不能將全部希望寄托在聯賽重開上，必須要做好取消聯賽的準備。

是時候行動起來了。

昨天，英格蘭足球聯賽發表聲明，表示將對所有球隊進行援助。

英格蘭足球聯賽包括英冠、英甲、英乙三級聯賽，正是將在此次疫情影響中直面重大風險的中小俱樂部。足球聯賽設立了一項金額為5000萬英鎊的專項基金，為所有俱樂部提供基本支持和無息貸款，避免出現資金鏈斷裂，幫助俱樂部度過難關。英國財政大臣此前也表示，政府也將為失去收入來源的俱樂部提供資金支持：

「希望大家不必過度擔心，政府會對那些因新型冠狀病毒影響下推遲比賽，進而失去收入的足球俱樂部提供資金支持。」

在德國，很多俱樂部的球員、主帥和包括主席在內的工作人員已經主動要求減薪，很多知名球星也為醫療機構進行了捐款。

毫無疑問，這些都是感人至深的善舉，他們深知沒有了俱樂部、沒有了職業聯賽，自己未來的生活也會受到影響。實際上，包括水晶宮在內，現在很多仍然在全額支付薪水的俱樂部，他們都在為減少疫情所帶來的影響做出自己的貢獻。

但是，問題的解決不能只依靠這些人的奉獻，作為組織者和管理者的聯賽和足協應該儘快拿出挽救整個行業的終極方案，如此一來，我們才能在病毒消散的那一天再次相聚。

疫情之下人命關天，但職業聯賽和俱樂部的存亡，同樣關係著很多人的生命。

Virus Outbreak: US Senate unveils US$1 trillion virus relief package

US Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell on Thursday presented a US$1 trillion emergency relief package to combat the economic turmoil caused by the COVID-19 pandemic in the US.

The Republican-drafted bill, which if passed would be one of the largest federal economic interventions in US history, must now be examined by Senate Democrats before a date for a vote can be set.

“This legislation takes bold action on four major priorities that are extremely urgent and very necessary,” McConnell told the Senate.

People walk past a health advisory on stopping the spread of COVID-19 in South Beach, Florida, on Thursday.

“First, direct financial help for the American people. Second, rapid relief for small businesses and their employees,” he said. “Third, significant steps to stabilize our economy and protect jobs. And, fourth, more support for the brave healthcare professionals and the patients who are fighting the coronavirus on the front lines.”

If and when it clears the Senate, the measure must then be passed by the Democratic-controlled House of Representatives before being signed into law by US President Donald Trump.

McConnell urged Democrats and the White House to get on board quickly.

“I hope this bold new proposal will find a similar degree of bipartisan respect and mutual urgency on the other side of the aisle and across the Capitol,” he said.

Negotiations with Democrats were set to start yesterday, but could take time.

Democrats want the government to cut checks and send them directly to affected Americans, “putting money directly into the hands of those who need it most,” Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said in a joint statement.

“We are beginning to review Senator McConnell’s proposal and on first reading, it is not at all pro-worker and instead puts corporations way ahead of workers,” Schumer and Pelosi said.

STOPPING THE SPREAD:
 Travelers who make unnecessary trips to an area under a level 3 advisory may not apply for the NT$1,000 daily home quarantine subsidy

The government yesterday implemented a level 3 “warning” travel advisory on all countries, while the Central Epidemic Command Center (CECC) reported 27 new cases of COVID-19, bringing the nation’s total of confirmed cases to 135.

The center also reported the nation’s second death, a man in his 80s in northern Taiwan.

The man had high blood pressure, diabetes and kidney disease, and despite being treated with anti-HIV and anti-malaria drugs, he died of complications due to blood poisoning, center advisory specialist panel convener Chang Shan-chwen (張上淳) said.

Minister of Health and Welfare Chen Shih-chung, right, who heads the Central Epidemic Command Center, speaks alongside center advisory specialist panel convener Chang Shan-chwen, left, and a sign language interpreter at the center’s daily news conference in Taipei yesterday.

Among the 27 new cases, 24 had returned to Taiwan between March 6 and Wednesday from Austria, Belgium, Canada, Egypt, France, Germany, Japan, Luxembourg, Mexico, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, the Philippines, Singapore, Spain, Turkey, the UK and the US, the center said, adding that eight of them had traveled to more than one country.

The 24 people — all of whom are Taiwanese except for one American man in his 40s — break down into 15 women and nine men, with the youngest being a teenager and the oldest over 80, center data showed.

Although age is one factor affecting a person’s likelihood of contracting COVID-19, there are other factors such as personal immunity and contact history, Chang said, when asked if the hypothesis that elderly people are more likely to contract the coronavirus should be re-examined.

The remaining three cases — two women and one man — were infected locally and are the 124th, 130th and 134th cases.

The 124th case, a man in his 30s, did not travel abroad recently, but had contact with his company supervisor, who exhibited symptoms after returning from the US last week, the center said.

Two of his foreign colleagues also exhibited symptoms earlier this week and health authorities are monitoring their status, the center added.

The 130th case, a female teenager, is a classmate of the 59th and the 103rd cases in a senior-high school in northern Taiwan, it said.

The school suspended all classes from yesterday through Friday next week, the Ministry of Education has said.

The 134th case did not travel abroad recently, and relatives in the same house have so far not shown symptoms, the center said, adding that it would investigate who she came into contact with at work to clarify the source of her infection.

The level 3 advisory, which previously had been applied to 101 countries and territories, covering virtually all of Europe and Asia, has been extended to reflect the global spread of the coronavirus, including Latin America, Africa and Oceania, the center said.

The center had already mandated a 14-day home quarantine for all travelers arriving in Taiwan and a ban on the entry of foreign nationals, with some exceptions, under tightened border controls that took effect on Thursday, minimizing the effects of the new advisories.

According to CECC regulations, travelers who make unnecessary trips to an area under a level 3 advisory may not apply for the government’s NT$1,000 daily home quarantine subsidy.

While an annual wheat festival in Taichung’s Daya District (大雅) has been canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, entrance to the region’s golden wheat fields remain free for visitors, attracting scores of picture-taking tourists.

Taichung’s Daya and Waipu (外埔) districts are the nation’s biggest and second-biggest wheat growing regions respectively, with the festival drawing tens of thousands of visitors each year.

Despite the cancelation of the festival, which was scheduled for Saturday last week, tourists have continued to visit the golden wheat fields, especially crop circles created by Waipu farmers and student volunteers, who stamped on the crops with their feet to make geometric patterns, the event’s organizer said.

Crop circles are pictured in a wheat field in Taichung’s Waipu District in an undated photograph.

The creation of the landscape art has over the past few years become a local tradition in March — when wheat ripens and darkens — following successful efforts to increase the region’s wheat production.

The Taichung Agriculture Revitalization Association said on Facebook that farmers have been delaying their harvest for the crop circles, which cover an area about as big as three soccer fields.

The crop circles are to remain on display until Saturday next week, the association said, inviting members of the public to take a walk in the fields or enjoy the landscape art through an aerial camera.

Virus outbreak: Supplies of food, daily necessities sufficient: Su

Premier Su Tseng-chang (蘇貞昌) yesterday reassured the public that the nation has sufficient supplies of fresh produce and tissue paper, and that people can shop without worries.

Su made the remarks at the Legislative Yuan in Taipei in response to media queries about his Facebook post on Thursday, which said that people can buy as much rice, fruit, seafood, processed food and tissue paper as they want, amid reports of panic buying at supermarkets.

The public need not be alarmed over news of panic buying abroad, as supplies of food staples and daily necessities are under control, Su said.

The nation has sufficient food supplies, thanks to its robust agricultural, food processing and fishery industries, he said.

It has more than enough tissue paper, with production running at only about 60 percent of capacity, he said.

If people are afraid of dining out because of concern over the COVID-19 pandemic, they are welcome to buy more fruit and vegetables to boost produce sales, he said.

However, that does not mean people should hoard daily necessities, the premier said, adding that those who engage in profiteering by driving up prices would be promptly and severely punished by law.

Asked if the panic buying could have been triggered by false reports, Su said that people who spread disinformation about food or daily necessities running short would also face penalties.

ZOMBIE MOVIE

Later, at a legislative question-and-answer session, Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) Legislator Lo Ming-tsai (羅明才) said that photographs of people waiting in long lines to check out groceries on Thursday resembled a doomsday scene from a zombie movie.

He asked Su to reassure the public that there is no need to engage in panic buying.

Su said that judging by their current output, toilet paper manufacturers can immediately increase production if required.

He added that the government has 900,000 tonnes of rice in reserve and that the harvesting season is near.

Asked if there is no shortage of food and daily commodities, the premier said: “Correct.”

Democratic Progressive Party Legislator Chao Tien-lin (趙天麟) asked Minister of Justice Tsai Ching-hsiang (蔡清祥) whether there is any truth in reports that disinformation online sparked the panic buying.

The government has taken action to curb the spread of false information and the culprits would be held to account, Chao said.

Tsai said that the ministry had located the sources of disinformation, which are likely domestic, and would take legal action against them.

PRIMARY CONSIDERATION?
 Amid growing concerns about the Games because of COVID-19, athletes would have to decide for themselves whether to participate

Preparations for the Tokyo Summer Olympics are continuing as scheduled, with all athletes allowed to choose whether to participate due to the threat posed by COVID-19.

Sun Lih-chyun (孫立群), a consultant with the Chinese Taipei Olympic Committee, said that preparations are still under way for the nation’s delegation, because there has been no official statement about the Olympics being delayed or canceled.

However, athletes would have to decide for themselves if they want to participate in the event and would not be pressured, he said.

Sun made the remark after the International Olympic Committee (IOC) on Thursday held a teleconference with Asia’s 45 national Olympic committees.

IOC president Thomas Bach said in the meeting that a responsible attitude toward disease prevention would be adopted, taking athlete safety as its core consideration.

The IOC would work with the WHO and the Tokyo Games organizing committee, as well as the governments of Tokyo and Japan, to monitor and curb the spread of the coronavirus, he said.

Bach has also spoken by telephone with 220 athlete representatives worldwide to emphasize that the well-being of athletes is the primary consideration and that financial reasons are not the motivation to go ahead with the Olympics.

As the coronavirus continues to wreak havoc worldwide, with entire cities locked down and major sporting events canceled, there has been increasing pressure on Tokyo Games organizers and a growing number of athletes have expressed concerns about plans to go ahead with the Olympics.

The Nikkei Asian Review yesterday reported that Japanese Olympic Committee board member Kaori Yamaguchi has raised concerns and called for the event to be postponed.

Yamaguchi, a judo bronze medalist at the 1988 Seoul Games, was quoted as saying that the IOC is putting athletes at risk by asking them to train as usual during the coronavirus pandemic.

On Tuesday, Spanish Olympic Committee president Alejandro Blanco said in a statement that his country’s athletes would be at a disadvantage if the Olympics are not postponed due to the seriousness of the coronavirus outbreak in Spain.

Spain has the second-most coronavirus infections in Europe — after Italy — with 18,077 confirmed as of Friday and more than 10,000 new infections recorded from Monday to Thursday, WHO data showed.

Spain has had a total of 831 deaths from the disease, the data showed.

Virus Outbreak: Going shopping is better fix, Su says

The government aims to provide an economic stimulus by encouraging consumption, not by sending people big checks, Premier Su Tseng-chang (蘇貞昌) said yesterday in response to calls by Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) lawmakers for the government to up the ante on planned coupons to revitalize sectors affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Su made the remarks when fielding a question from KMT Legislator Lo Ming-tsai (羅明才) during a plenary session at the Legislative Yuan in Taipei on whether the government could give each resident NT$10,000 (US$330) in cash instead of coupons with a face value of NT$800.

The US on Thursday introduced an economic stimulus package that would, if approved, give each US citizen US$1,200 and each child US$500, Lo said.

The Democratic Progressive Party administration has spent NT$2 trillion building offshore wind farms, more than NT$800 billion on the Forward-looking Infrastructure Development Program, and hundreds of billions on arms procurement and a program to build submarines domestically, Lo said.

The government is rich, so it should be able to roll out more generous stimulus packages, he said.

Su said that it would be easy for the government to mindlessly push up the national debt by giving people cash, just as the administration of then-president Ma Ying-jeou (馬英九) did during the 2008 financial crisis, when it gave people NT$3,600 consumer vouchers, increasing national debt by more than NT$80 billion.

The government hopes to improve on the former administration’s policy by using a different approach, one that incentivizes people to go shopping, Su said.

Lo asked whether the government could give each resident NT$8,000, to which the premier replied that it is not a question of the amount, but of the government’s stance.

More subsidy programs to help stricken sectors stay afloat are under way, for example a fuel subsidy for taxis would go into effect next month, Su said.

Other KMT lawmakers who had signed up to speak at the beginning of the meeting clamored for more generous stimulus packages.

Despite the government having announced that the National Stabilization Fund, which is worth NT$500 billion, would be used to buoy the TAIEX, and the central bank cutting its rediscount rate, panic buying on Thursday showed that the measures were not enough to allay people’s concerns, KMT Legislator Wu Sz-huai (吳斯懷) said.

KMT Legislator Lee De-wei (李德維) said that it was not only the US that has plans for cash handouts, the governments of Hong Kong and Singapore are mulling stimulus packages that would give residents HK$10,000 (US$1,289) and S$300 (US$207) respectively.

title: StarLux cancels all flights to comply with restrictions

content_text:
StarLux Airlines Co (星宇航空) is to cancel all flights from today until the end of next month, as the COVID-19 pandemic curbs overseas travel, it said.

The start-up carrier said it would halt operations to Da Nang, Vietnam, the only route it was still flying earlier this week after suspending service to Penang, Malaysia, and Macau earlier this month and last month respectively.

The airline, which began operations on Jan. 23, must discontinue all flights as the government issued level 3 “warning” travel advisories to the three countries it services, company communications officer Liu Li-wen (劉俐?) said by telephone.

Its ticket sales and ridership had already declined as interest in international travel retreated amid the pandemic, she said.

Although the nation’s two major airlines, EVA Airways Corp (長榮航空) and China Airlines Ltd (CAL, 中華航空), said they would instead concentrate on their cargo operations, StarLux has not yet launched its cargo business, Liu said.

Despite cutting all flights, StarLux would not reduce employee pay nor ask them to take unpaid leave, she said.

“The company would enhance employee training and education during this period, to optimize our service. The staff is ready for that, as they know they would be too busy for extra training once flights resume,” Liu said.

StarLux, with three Airbus SE A321neo aircraft, still plans to acquire another two A321neos in the second half of this year, she said.

Meanwhile, Tigerair Taiwan Ltd (台灣虎航), a subsidiary of CAL, is to cancel 710 round-trip flights, 668 to Japan and 42 to Thailand, from Wednesday to the end of next month, as Taiwan has also issued level 3 advisories for those countries, it said in a Taipei Stock Exchange filing.

The flights account for 7.5 percent of its total flights for the whole of this year, it said.

In related news, EVA’s board of directors on Thursday approved a proposal for a cash dividend of NT$0.25 per common share, down from NT$0.5 a year earlier, after the company reported a 33 percent drop year-on-year in its net profit to NT$4.85 billion (US$160.1 million), it said in a statement.

It attributed the dip in profit to the flight attendant strike in June last year, a decline in Chinese tourists and pro-democracy protests in Hong Kong, it said.

title: Phison forecasts H2 rise in chip demand for 5G technologies

content_text:
Phison Electronics Corp (群聯) customers have not scaled back orders due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but instead shifted demand to the second half of this year, driven by demand for 5G-related technologies, the company said yesterday.

The NAND flash memory controller supplier said the pandemic and large-scale lockdowns in China did not significantly affect its business, as reflected in its strong revenue last month.

That shows that market demand was “real,” the company said.

“We are optimistic about this year’s outlook,” Phison chairman Pua Khein-seng (潘健成) told a teleconference. “We are seeing a strong first quarter. Our first-quarter results will surprise you.”

Phison has been building NAND flash memorychip inventory since October last year to cope with rising demand, which caused supply constraints in January and have boosted flash memorychip prices by more than 50 percent, the company said.

“Demand is not vaporizing,” Pua said. “The pandemic just pushed back 5G deployment a little bit.”

He said that 5G technology would drive demand for data centers, base stations and related devices, fueling the strongest growth for flash products in 10 years.

Phison has received order backlogs for September and October this year with rush orders for solid state drive (SSD) controllers, which have high gross margin, he said.

“Customers from Europe, US, Japan and China have asked us to build inventory in advance as they are worried about a component crunch once demand comes back rapidly later this year,” Pua said.

“Customers have requested shipment of the goods they ordered as soon as the transportation ban is lifted,” he added.

Flash controllers contributed 23 percent to its revenue last quarter totaling NT$44.69 billion. (US$1.47 billion).

Aside from SSD controllers, demand for flash modules used in medical devices is also on the rise, he said.

Additionally, as companies and schools roll out teleconferencing systems to curb COVID-19 infections, demand for NAND flash controllers and modules for data storage and Internet infrastructure has risen, Pua said.

Phison received new rush orders from equipment vendors to meet teleconferencing demand, he said.

Taiwanese chemist Lee Yuan-tseh (李遠哲) is one of 10 Nobel Prize-winning scientists being honored in a photographic exhibition organized by the US’ National Academy of Sciences for their contributions to the field of human rights, Academia Sinica said on Tuesday.

Lee was selected by the academy’s Committee on Human Rights for the exhibition titled “Advancing Rights and Freedoms: Science, Human Dignity and the Nobel Prize,” which is being held at the academy’s Washington headquarters until June 1, the institute said in a news release.

In addition to portraits of the selected laureates, the exhibition features abstracts chronicling their respective human rights achievements, it said.

On its Web site, the exhibition cites Lee’s “efforts to call attention to the human rights implications of climate change,” which it said demonstrated “the profound and enduring connections between science and human rights, and the important role for science in advancing human dignity worldwide.”

The exhibition also recognizes Lee for his work in strengthening the International Human Rights Network of Academies and Scholarly Societies during his tenure as Academia Sinica president from 1994 to 2006, as well as his promotion of scientific freedom, Academia Sinica said.

Lee, who was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1986 and is professor emeritus at the University of California, Berkley, said in a statement that a commitment to human rights motivated his advocacy on the topic of climate change.

As climate change of human origin has already started affecting marginal populations, it needs to be approached as a global challenge to make the world a more equitable and democratic place, he said.

The academy, a nonprofit, non-governmental organization with more than 2,000 lifetime members, is closed through April 30 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, a notice on its Web site said.

China Steel Corp (CSC, 中鋼), the nation’s largest steelmaker, yesterday announced price cuts for products delivered in May to boost market confidence amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

The move matches recent price adjustments by its Chinese peers, including Baoshan Iron & Steel Co (寶鋼), China’s largest steelmaker, which lowered steel prices for next month, CSC said.

Although the pandemic has had minor effects on Taiwan’s supply chain, due to the nation’s prompt efforts to contain the virus, CSC said it would nevertheless trim quoted steel prices to stimulate shipments for downstream vendors.

The company said it would cut by NT$300 (US$9.90) per tonne prices of hot-rolled steel plates, hot-rolled steel coils, hot-rolled and cold-rolled steel pipes, electro-galvanized sheets and pre-painted galvanized steel coils, it said in a company statement.

The price of electrical sheets would remain unchanged.

In a separate statement yesterday, it said that revenue contracted 4.23 percent year-on-year to NT$26.06 billion last month.

Due to gradually stabilizing steel markets, the decline is notably smaller compared with double-digit annual declines that persisted for five consecutive months.

The company posted pre-tax losses of NT$794.39 million, narrowing January’s losses of NT$1.26 billion.

It lost NT$2.06 billion in the first two months of the year, compared with a profit of NT$3.45 billion in the same period a year earlier.

In other news, Taiwan Cement Corp (台灣水泥) yesterday posted record net profits of NT$24.21 billion for last year, a 14.31 percent year-on-year increase.

Earnings per share increased from NT$4.08 to NT$4.43 last year, while revenue last year declined 1.45 percent on an annual basis.

The company’s board of directors yesterday proposed a cash dividend of NT$2.5 per common share, representing a payout ratio of 56.43 percent.

Facing slipping share prices, Taiwan Cement also announced a share buyback plan to provide employees with stock rewards.

The company said it would start purchasing up to 8 million common shares on the open market from Monday until May 22 at prices between NT$25.90 and NT$61.95, adding that it would continue purchases if share prices fall below that range.

Its shares yesterday closed at NT$36.95, a 9.97 percent increase, in Taipei trading.

title: ECB tries to prevent crisis that almost split eurozone

content_text:
The European Central Bank (ECB) cannot stop the eurozone from sliding into recession, but it might be able to prevent another devastating debt crisis.

The ECB’s 750 billion euro (US$807.56 billion) bond-buying plan — equivalent to about 6 percent of eurozone GDP — would make it easier for governments to embark on a spending binge to fight the COVID-19 pandemic.

It has already pushed borrowing costs down across the bloc and, importantly, it narrowed the gap between the bond yields of stressed economies such as Italy and safer options such as Germany.

Less than a decade after surging yields almost splintered the currency union, policy makers are trying to get ahead of the curve. They are taking steps to assuage concerns that the fiscal spending needed to protect companies and people during the pandemic could spark higher financing costs that hit the economy even more.

Governments have shown they are ready to splurge. Italy has said it would spend 25 billion euros on direct stimulus, and more is likely to follow. France has pledged to guarantee up to 300 billion euros of bank loans to companies, while Spain has unveiled a 117 billion euro plan to help keep companies afloat.

Even Germany, which has long been reluctant to spend, despite running a budget surplus for years, is considering taking steps as early next week that would allow the government an unlimited increase in borrowing, people with direct knowledge of the matter said.

Separately, eurozone officials are looking at activating the region’s bailout fund to help governments raise the cash they need.

While all those plans would need to be funded with higher bond issuance, in a bloc which has long worried about its debt burden, there is now a large buyer.

“Monetary policy and fiscal policy are now joined at the hip,” said AllianceBernstein money manager John Taylor, who said he is now more comfortable holding the debt of peripheral economies.

“Central banks have to keep borrowing costs extremely low to encourage governments to expand fiscal policy as needed,” he said. “Without this dual approach, economic growth will not be able to recover from this sudden stop that is now taking place.”

Bank of America Merrill Lynch said the purchases by the ECB would more than cover the extra bond supply that is likely to hit the market. They assume around 300 billion euros of new issuance, or about 2.5 percent of GDP.

That is just more than half the increase in 2007 and 2008 during the global financial crisis.

“If governments choose to restore investor confidence through a courageous fiscal package, the interaction between releveraging and [quantitative easing] could squeeze periphery and semicore spreads to new record lows,” wrote Bank of America Merrill Lynch strategist Erjon Satko.

Risks remain in the speed and execution of the ECB’s plan. It is already skewing its existing bond-buying program toward Italian debt, people familiar with the matter said.

“If they don’t front-load purchases enough, they’ll be accused of not putting their money where their mouth is,” ING Groep NV senior rates strategist Antoine Bouvet said. “The pandemic will probably last for months but the risk to the financial system is now.”

Program Starts to Encourage Overstaying Foreign Citizens to Turn Themselves in

With the spread of coronavirus-19(COVID-19) worldwide and the discovery of case 32 confirmed COVID-19 patient to be an undocumented migrant worker, it has been a topic of wide discussion on whether overstaying population causes vulnerability to Taiwan’s disease control. “To cope with this issue, the National Immigration Agency(NIA) initiated the Expanded Overstayers Voluntary Departure Program, which starts from April 1st and ends on June 30th with a promotion period from March 20th to March 31st, 2020. Overstayers who turn themselves in during either period are entitled to receive penalty relieves including no detention, no entry ban and a minimum amount of fine. The purpose of this program is to encourage overstayers to turn themselves in so the Agency can help them return home safely” said by the officer of the NIA.

In order to follow the government’s policy of disease control, and attempt to reduce overstaying population in Taiwan, the NIA initiated the program from today to June 30th, while other authorities of law enforcement follow suit to the program when overstayers turn themselves in. To overstayers who turn themselves in during the designated period of this program, penalty relieves including no detention, no entry ban and a minimum fine of NTD 2,000 are entitled. After the designated period of the program, the NIA will push for an enhanced penalty amendment under the Immigration Act. On top of that, once the pandemic of COVID-19 eases, the Agency will strengthen enforcement and launch nation-wide sweeps against overstaying population.

In cooperation with the Central Epidemic Command Center and the Ministry of Labor, the NIA will promote disease control and public hygiene awareness through multiple channels, including immigrant counseling, the NIA service centers and social media, meanwhile beef up the quarantine facilities to protect its front line staff. The NIA strongly urges overstayers to turn themselves in during the designated period of the program and the public to pass on the information to overstayers. Further information and details can be obtained through the hotlines 0800-024-881(NIA) and 1955(the Ministry of Labor). (Advertorial)

title: Export orders fall 0.8% over disruptions

content_text:
TURNING IT AROUND:
 Manufacturers in ‘all product categories’ have started to shift production back to Taiwan ‘to mitigate the effects’ of COVID-19 on China’s supply chain

Export orders declined 0.8 percent year-on-year last month to US$28.68 billion as the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted production, supply chains and logistics in China, the Ministry of Economic Affairs said yesterday.

On a monthly basis, export orders contracted 18.8 percent from US$35.31 billion, ministry statistics showed.

The ministry said it expects the decline to accelerate this month.

Orders for information and communications technology (ICT) products, one of Taiwan’s most important export categories, was most affected as orders fell 23.4 percent year-on-year to US$6.05 billion.

“More than 90 percent of ICT products, comprised of smartphones, laptops and servers, are manufactured in China, which makes them particularly vulnerable when the country deployed stringent anti-epidemic measures,” Department of Statistics Director Huang Yu-ling (黃于玲) said.

ICT product makers reacted swiftly by moving production back to Taiwan, Huang said.

“This holds true for all product categories, as manufacturers increasingly shift production back home to mitigate the effects of the coronavirus,” Huang said, adding that overall overseas production fell to 40.7 percent last month, hitting a 15-year low.

Meanwhile, export orders for electronics bounced back after a small contraction in January to surge 20.4 percent year-on-year to US$8.82 billion, due to growing demand for semiconductors.

“Upcoming 5G deployment boosted orders for foundry services, design and packaging of integrated circuits as well as memory products,” Huang said.

However, export orders for optoelectronics continued a downward spiral despite an increase in demand for optical lenses, as flat-panel prices struggle to recover.

With part of their production in China hindered, optoelectronics makers posted a 14.7 percent year-on-year decline to US$1.34 billion in orders last month, the data showed.

Orders for traditional manufactured goods, with the exception of petrochemicals, increased by between 1.4 percent and 14.3 percent on an annual basis last month due to a low comparison base.

“While this may seem to provide some respite for traditional manufacturers after incessant declines last year, this situation is unlikely to persist ... especially not for petrochemicals, rubber and plastic products,” Huang said, referring to the recent slump in oil prices.

As COVID-19 spreads worldwide, hitting Europe and the US, export orders are expected to continue to decline this month by between 3.2 percent and 9.3 percent on an annual basis to US$33.5 billion to US$35 billion.

“The virus outbreak in China mainly upset the supply end ... but now we might be facing disruptions on end markets,” Huang said, forecasting a more than US$2 billion decline in orders for ICT makers, which are expected to be the most affected.

The US needs a new mandatory draft, but a different one
A former Marine Corps commandant says it is time to institute a national force of young people from all walks of life to serve the US’ critical domestic needs

The US needs a new draft, but not the kind you think.

For 25 years, before retiring as the 31st commandant of the US Marine Corps, I proudly wore the Eagle, Globe and Anchor, the corps’ insignia. I faced all kinds of enemies on the battlefield, without fear or doubt, because I always believed wholeheartedly in America’s democracy and the US constitution that is its foundation.

We are losing that belief and our connection to it.

When I was a young Marine in Vietnam, during a time of deep internal division in America, about half the country’s people said they trusted their fellow Americans. That was very discouraging. Today, according to a recent Brookings Institution study, that number is less than one-third. Americans’ civic discourse has all but disappeared, giving way to pessimistic apathy, blind partisanship, and un-American rage at our fellow citizens.

In our national history, when we have faced terrible times of economic hardship, civil discord, and political division, more often than not an external threat brought us back together. Today, however, that threat is internal, and it is a lot harder to identify, but the effects are clear — a fundamental weakening of the bonds that unite us as Americans.

I am not a Democrat or a Republican. I am an American, and my life has been guided by a clear and simple oath: to protect the constitution from all enemies, foreign and domestic. We have the world’s greatest military, and while foreign threats are real, I know our service members can handle them. It is the domestic threats that we must address.

It is time to institute a new draft to create a national force of young men and women to serve our country’s critical domestic needs, while instilling in them a greater appreciation of our democracy and how it functions. Our government should establish a mandatory, two-year, paid national service program that would bring together Americans of different backgrounds and help break down geographic, racial, ethnic, religious and socioeconomic barriers to a deeply felt and widely shared civic identity.

Unlike AmeriCorps and the Peace Corps, the two best-known existing federal US service programs, priorities should be defined at the state and local level, because they differ widely across the country.

The federal government should launch a block-grant program for each state to decide where an army of young men and women could best address its communities’ most urgent social needs.

Such needs might include assistance for the homeless and military veterans; mentoring students in poorly performing schools; regional crisis forces to improve responses to natural disasters; a program, modeled on the New Deal-era Works Progress Administration, to rebuild local infrastructure like bridges and roads, and clean up waterways and parks; and rural health initiatives to address critical nursing shortages, confront opioid addiction and care for the elderly.

And, to broaden young Americans’ perspectives on issues facing communities beyond their own, half of each state’s draftees should carry out their service in another state.

All draftees should begin their service with a 12-week training period similar to what we do in the military, with a curriculum focused on teaching self-discipline, accountability, teamwork and physical fitness. We should create a program for retirees from service professions to become mentor-instructors to these young national service recruits. Americans are living longer, have less retirement resources as a result of the 2008 financial crisis, and have great experience and wisdom that would benefit our youth.

Moreover, as the military and our college system downsize, there are vacant facilities in every state where such training could take place, putting to use what might otherwise become derelict infrastructure. We should also design a modern equivalent of the successful post-World War II GI Bill for our young men and women when they finish their service. Benefits could range from subsidized mortgages and low-interest loans to start a business to partial school tuition, subsidies for living expenses, and accelerated debt forgiveness.

According to a 2018 Public Opinion Strategies poll, about two-thirds of Americans would support a national service program. And it would be good policy: Alumni of existing service programs go on to complete four-year college at much higher rates than their non-service peers.

Most important, such a program would go a long way toward bridging Americans’ differences. If our young people grow up believing that theirs is a divided country, we will have destroyed our future, but if they can help unify our country, then our best days will be yet to come. There is no more important challenge.

title: TAIEX rallies as National Stabilization Fund kicks in

content_text:
CURBING THE DECLINE:
 An analyst said that the fund and other measures sent the message that ‘the government would do something’ to strengthen the market

The TAIEX yesterday rallied 6.37 percent to 9,234.09 points after the government on Thursday pledged to activate the National Stabilization Fund.

The benchmark index opened up 135.52 points and surpassed its 10-year moving average of 9,110 points after an hour of trading, Taiwan Stock Exchange (TWSE) data showed.

Turnover totaled NT$234.027 billion (US$7.72 billion), slightly down from NT$271.17 billion a day earlier, but higher than last month’s average of NT$146 billion, the data showed.

Foreign institutional investors, who have been selling stocks in the local equity market since March 6, yesterday showed a net sale for the consecutive 11th day after offloading NT$21.9 billion, the data showed.

It seems that domestic investors were more encouraged by the government’s measures than foreign peers, Hua Nan Securities Investment Management Co (華南投顧) chairman David Chu (儲祥生) told the Taipei Times by telephone.

The measures included the central bank cutting rates by 25 basis points, the Financial Supervisory Commission’s ban on short-selling and the Ministry of Finance’s activation of the National Stabilization Fund, Chu said.

“All of them are expected to be helpful, as they send a message to investors that the government would do something to curb the decline of the TAIEX,” Chu said.

However, it remains unknown how long the market would keep improving due to the stimulus policies, as the global economic outlook is not rosy with the COVID-19 pandemic weighing on private consumption worldwide, Chu said.

Selling among foreign institutional investors is not likely to end soon, as they, being fund management companies, need to sell stocks to pay investors who want cash amid the uncertainty, Chu said.

In related news, the commission on Thursday said that it would encourage the nation’s life insurance companies to increase their investment in local shares.

The commission, which last year added an asymmetric adjustment mechanism into its risk-based capital calculation for life insurers, cut the risk weighting of local shares from 27.3 percent at the end of last year to 14.62 percent on Thursday, it said.

The move would allow insurers to hold less capital when they increase investment in local stocks and thus ease the pressure of maintaining good capital adequacy, it said.

Cathay Life Insurance Co (國泰人壽) said that it would not add investment in local stocks solely because of the reduction of risk weighting, as its ratio — 346 percent as of the end of last year — was much higher than the minimum of 250 percent.

However, it would continue selecting good targets and looking for good times to increase investment, Cathay said.

title: Virus Outbreak: All 40m Californians ordered to stay home

content_text:
‘BEND THAT CURVE’:
 California Governor Gavin Newsom said the stay-at-home order aims to make a dire projection no longer the reality as people’s behavior has changed

All 40 million residents of California on Thursday were ordered to stay at home indefinitely in a bid to battle the COVID-19 pandemic in the most populous state of the US.

The statewide directive, which California Governor Gavin Newsom said was to go into effect “this evening [Thursday],” is the most dramatic containment measure yet by a US state.

“There is a recognition of our interdependence that requires of this moment that we direct a statewide order for people to stay at home,” Newsom said.

No end date was set for the measure, as the pandemic is a “dynamic situation,” he said.

California has been among the worst-hit states, with at least 18 confirmed deaths so far, Johns Hopkins University data showed.

About 1,000 Californians have tested positive.

Although a mandatory executive order, it would likely not be enforced by police, Newsom said.

“People I think recognize the need to do more, and to meet this moment, and people will self-regulate their behavior,” he said.

Essential jobs and tasks such as grocery shopping would be exempt, Newsom added.

“We want people to go to essential jobs — we want people to deal with their essentials in a thoughtful and judicious way,” he said.

Gas stations, pharmacies, banks and laundry services all count as “critical infrastructure” and would remain open.

Restaurants could still provide takeout and delivery, while food banks would also still operate.

In a letter to US President Donald Trump on Wednesday requesting federal help, Newsom had warned that cases were doubling every four days in some parts of California.

“We project that roughly 56 percent of our population — 25.5 million people — will be infected with the virus over an eight week period,” he wrote.

The new stay-at-home order is intended to reduce that figure, he said on Thursday.

“The point of the stay-at-home order is to make those numbers move — to bend that curve,” Newsom said. “That means that projection no longer becomes a reality because we changed our behavior.”

Under the projections, the state would have a shortfall of about 10,000 hospital beds, Newsom said.

In addition to the isolation order, university dormitories, hotels and motels were being leased to provide more space.

Newsom on Thursday also wrote a letter to the US Congress requesting “more than US$1 billion in initial funding” for California to tackle the COVID-19 pandemic.

“If we’re to be criticized at this moment, let us be criticized for taking this moment seriously,” he wrote. “That is, being criticized for going full force and meeting this virus head on. It’s time for all of us to recognize, as individuals and as a community, we need to do more.”

title: Han’s ‘HK village’ has no merit

content_text:
Kaohsiung Mayor Han Kuo-yu (韓國瑜) has proposed the idea of a “Hong Kong village” in the hope of enticing Hong Kongers to move to the city once the COVID-19 pandemic has passed. As someone from Hong Kong who has been studying in Taiwan for the past eight years, I find this infuriating.

The advantages that Han claims for Kaohsiung also exist in other cities and counties in Taiwan, so any attempt to attract people from Hong Kong should focus on Taiwan’s advantages rather than on claims that these advantages are unique to Kaohsiung. After all, under Han’s leadership, other cities are beginning to overtake Kaohsiung.

Kaohsiung’s greatest asset is probably its people, but the campaign to recall Han makes it clear that even they dislike the mayor. How could an outsider be expected to like an inept mayor when even the city’s residents want to get rid of him? It is pretty obvious that Hong Kongers are joined by Kaohsiung residents in their dislike for Han.

Looking back at the past six months, Han has shown no understanding of the situation in Hong Kong. He professed no knowledge of the demonstrations going on there, and the Kaohsiung City Government removed a “Lennon wall” in support of the Hong Kong protests that was set up in the Sizihwan Tunnel on the campus of National Sun Yat-sen University.

Hong Kong students’ dislike of Han and his comments has spread all the way back to Hong Kong. His proposal of a Hong Kong village is just his last gasp as he tries to improve his image to save his political career.

The period before the presidential election in January saw a surge in Taiwanese public sentiment in favor of protecting Taiwan and Hong Kong, and opposing China.

Han, who at the time was busy closing down the Lennon wall, is now trying to use this very sentiment to counteract the campaign to recall him as he attempts to stop his hemorrhaging support and hold on to his position as mayor. Instead, he is only highlighting his inability to govern. As someone from Hong Kong, I strongly disagree with his attempt to use Hong Kongers as a springboard to bolster his popularity.

The Hong Kong village idea does not contain any sign of long-term friendliness toward Hong Kong. Trying to attract Hong Kongers by offering 48 Chinese-English bilingual schools only reveals Han’s inability to understand why people want to move away from Hong Kong, the main reason why Hong Kongers are attracted to Taiwan, or what they want. Even if a Hong Kong village is built, it would very likely be empty and deserted.

If Han truly wants to help the people of Hong Kong, he should initiate a law regulating contacts with Hong Kong and Macau, and a refugee act, so that people from Hong Kong could remain in Taiwan in the long term.

If such a policy is politically difficult to accomplish, he could take a step back and allow Hong Kongers in Taiwan to organize and participate in events and activities in support of Hong Kong rather than promoting an empty slogan.

Academia Sinica Institute of Taiwan History associate research fellow Wu Rwei-ren (吳叡人) has said that every Lennon wall is a Hong Kong in miniature. Since the Lennon wall in the Sizihwan Tunnel was removed by the Han administration, thus blocking the demands of Hong Kongers, what is the use of building a Hong Kong village?

Furthermore, Hong Kongers like to live together, so that Hong Kong exists wherever there are people from Hong Kong. You have to wonder if Han came up with his idea to build a Hong Kong Village — which lacks both the support of Hong Kongers and the character of Hong Kong — while he was hung over, or if it was thought up by his bureaucrats in a fit of fantastic imagination.

Mayor Han, the Hong Kong protests have not ended. You are very welcome to express your support for Hong Kong, but there is no need for any empty talk about a Hong Kong village.

Virus Outbreak: Governments offer financial help to airlines, at a price

Shattered airlines were left counting the cost of government support as countries from the US to New Zealand set out conditions for bailouts needed to absorb the shock of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Conditions include provisions that loans might convert to government equity stakes, while US airlines cannot increase executive pay or provide “golden parachutes” for two years.

Air New Zealand’s bailout depends on the company suspending its dividend and paying interest rates of 7 to 9 percent.

New Zealand yesterday offered its national carrier a NZ$900 million (US$522.5 million) lifeline, which New Zealand Minister of Finance Grant Robertson said would help it survive after the government banned all nonresident arrivals to the country.

Under a US$58 billion US proposal for passenger and cargo carriers, the US Department of the Treasury could receive warrants, stock options or stock.

Norway is to back airlines with credit guarantees worth up to 6 billion Norwegian crowns (US$543.2 million), half of them to Norwegian Air Shuttle. Conditions include raising money from commercial banks and the equity market.

Finland, which owns a 56 percent stake in Finnair, said that it would guarantee a 600 million euro (US$644 million) loan for the state carrier.

The International Air Transport Association has forecast that the industry would need up to US$200 billion of state support, piling pressure on governments facing demands from all quarters and a rapid worsening in public finances as economies slump.

“Money is very tight in most countries, so governments need to step back and be hard-nosed about any form of rescue ... but it all must come with strict conditions, or strings, attached,” aviation consultancy Endau Analytics founder Shukor Yusof said in an e-mail.

Even with financial assistance, airlines worldwide are placing thousands of workers on unpaid leave as they slash passenger capacity, deepening the shocks to local economies.

title: Australian sides press on inside empty stadiums

content_text:
An advertisement painted on the field near the center square would usually have summed up the hype of the Australian Football League’s (AFL) season-opening game between Richmond and Carlton: “Footy, Oh What a Feeling.”

In September last year, 100,014 people packed into the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) to watch Richmond trounce Greater Western Sydney to claim the Australian Football League’s premiership flag.

There were no fans there on Thursday when the Tigers opened with a 16.9 (105) to 12.9 (81) win over Carlton. It was the same yesterday at Melbourne’s Marvel Stadium, where Collingwood beat the Western Bulldogs 13.8 (86) to 5.4 (34).

The AFL, the National Rugby League (NRL) and soccer’s A-League competitions are all going ahead in Australia, despite heavy travel restrictions and bans on crowds of more than 500 assembling at outdoor venues amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

The NRL season began last weekend with fans in the stadiums. The start of the second round was an entirely different story — there were no paying spectators at Sydney Olympic Park on Thursday. A sign on the big screen behind the North Queensland Cowboys in the first half read: “It’s On, Sydney.com.”

However, it was only on, it seems, for a broadcast audience as the Cowboys won 24-16 against the Canterbury Bulldogs.

At the Netstrata Jubilee Stadium in Sydney yesterday, the Penrith Panthers beat St George Illawarra 32-28, while at Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane, the Brisbane Broncos beat the South Sydney Rabbitohs 22-18.

One of the game’s leading players, former Australia captain Cam Smith, questioned the wisdom of playing the games, given how easily the virus has been spreading.

He got some support from fans, and criticism from others.

To play, or not to play? The question has divided fans, players and administrators.

Supporters of the AFL and the NRL complained on social media about the lack of atmosphere and noise at the games, which was obvious on the broadcasts.

Some said the leagues would be better off postponed entirely. TV commentators joked about the lack of people to throw the ball back to players when it was kicked out of bounds, talked about the lack of ambiance and described it as almost like watching a practice session.

“It’s so weird,” ABC radio sideline analyst Tim Hodges said at the MCG. “Not a soul here.”

“The concourse is bare, the turnstiles are locked, the gates are shut,” he said. “The restaurants, the food shops, the cafes are closed, the bars are locked... It is like a ghost town.”

The AFL’s hierarchy left it until Wednesday to confirm the games would go on, after floating the idea of postponing it and having a shortened regular season.

When the Richmond players ran onto the field, the club song boomed over the stadium speakers. There were fan club signs draped over seats where fans should have been sitting.

Captains Trent Cotchin and Sam Docherty met at the center circle for the coin toss, and shook hands — a long tradition in the game, but a no-no in the new COVID-19-era of “social distancing.”

There was no separating the teams once the whistle blew, anyway, with almost constant contact between players for two hours in Melbourne.

After the win, the Richmond players formed a huddle, arms over shoulders, and sang their club song in the locker room.

At the rugby league game in Sydney, there were almost 700 tackles completed — most of them involving shoulders crashing hard into players running at speed.

The ABC reported there were only 241 people — including the 34 players participating in the game — allowed inside the venue.

The interchange bench chairs for both teams were separated by at least 1m and the match balls were washed regularly.

“It was very different. Certainly different times at the moment,” Cowboys coach Paul Green said of the lack of a crowd. “I was really worried about [the players] being flat. We’ve never had a prep like this before.”
