Mink is the host of Covid-19? Spain and the Netherlands have killed more than 1 million minks.

  Overseas network August 3 rd COVID-19 outbreak broke out in mink farms in Spain and the Netherlands a few days ago. To prevent the virus from spreading further, as of July 30, the two countries had killed more than 1 million minks. The latest research shows that Covid-19 may be transmitted to humans through mink infection, and may even spread in both directions between humans and minks. At present, scientists are studying the authenticity and danger of this infection chain.

  Wim Felhagen, director of the Dutch Federation of Fur Farmers, said that the Netherlands is the fourth largest producer of precious fur in the world, with about 160 mink farms. There are 38 mink breeding projects in Spain, most of which are in the northwest of Galicia.

  Mink farming has brought huge profits to the Netherlands and Spain, but it has also aggravated the outbreak. According to Fox News, it is estimated that 90% of the minks in Aragon, northeastern Spain, are infected with Covid-19, and the authorities have ordered the killing of more than 92,000 minks. Some farm workers are suspected to have been infected with mink in Covid-19, but officials have not confirmed this statement. Joaquin Olona, head of the agriculture and environment department in valverde, Spain, said that at the end of May this year, the owner and seven workers of a mink farm near the town were diagnosed with COVID-19, and a serious epidemic broke out in the farm. Two other employees were infected during the quarantine period.

  After the Dutch epidemic broke out in April this year, Wim Vanderbilt, a veterinary professor who studies viruses at Wageningen University and Research Center, found that the virus strains in animals are similar to those that spread in humans. Vanderbilt said, "We suspect that the virus can be transmitted back to humans", which is at least possible to be verified in the two workers who were infected later.

  Richard Osterfield, a researcher at Cary Ecosystems Research Institute in Millbrook, new york, said that if this statement is confirmed, it will be the first known case of animal transmission in Covid-19. Osterfield said in an email to the Associated Press, "The signs that minks in these farms infect human Covid-19 show that we must pay attention to domestic animals and whether they may infect humans after being infected."

  Who also pointed out that the virus transmission in mink farms is likely to be two-way. However, Dr Maria Van Kirchhoff of the agency said at a press conference last month that the scope of such communication was "very limited". Dr. Kirchhoff mentioned that the outbreaks in mink farms in the Netherlands and Denmark "let us know which animals are susceptible to infection, which helps us to know more about the potential hosts in Covid-19."

  At present, Spain and the Netherlands have strengthened the hygiene standards of mink farms, and banned the transport of minks and visits to places where minks are kept. According to data from the Dutch Food and Consumer Product Safety Bureau, more than 1.1 million minks have been killed in 26 farms with epidemic records.

Meet the opposite sex in mobile games and start "online dating"? Beware of falling into the "sweet" scam

  Yang Xiaojun, correspondent of Dongfang. com, and Li Huan, reporter, reported on September 29th that they met the opposite sex in mobile games, made friends with each other and became male and female friends, but fell into a "sweet" scam after being full of joy. Recently, through careful investigation, Huangpu police cracked a case of looking for young men in online games and committing telecom fraud under the guise of online dating, and went to Guizhou to arrest the suspect Du Mou.

  Xiao Yin, a young man who has just worked for a long time, usually has the habit of playing mobile games. Two months ago, he met a woman named "Feng" while playing the game of "Wolf Man Killing" on the Internet. In the game, Xiao Yin’s activity attracted the attention of this female netizen. After several games, the woman privately expressed her love to Xiao Yin and added WeChat to each other. In the online chat, Xiao Yin learned that this woman is actually called "Li Yupeng" and currently lives alone in Sichuan. During a few days of chatting, whether it was the moving beautiful photos sent by the woman, her gentle voice conversation or the understanding revealed in the chat, Xiao Yin felt more and more that Li Yupeng, who shared the same hobby with him, was the lover he was destined to find. Wan Li’s red edge is a thread, and the "good marriage" falling from the sky makes Xiao Yin be in heaven. A few days later, the woman hinted to Xiao Yin that her birthday was coming soon, hoping that her boyfriend would give her a surprise of love. This time, Xiao Yin was in trouble. They are thousands of miles apart. How can they send their blessings? At the suggestion of the woman, Xiao Yin decided to send a WeChat red envelope to express her love, so Xiao Yin rushed to send a 520 yuan and a WeChat red envelope of 1314 yuan to the other party. The two red envelopes mean "I love you for the rest of my life", and the love words are endless and sweet. As everyone knows, Xiao Yin has gradually fallen into the whirlpool of love at this time.

  Finding the other half in the game, Xiao Yin is full of joy, and there is a little more show-off in her daily chat with her friends. But a few days later, when he talked with another friend who always played werewolf killing, he felt that things were not as simple as he thought. It turns out that Xiao Yin’s friends have encountered a similar situation in the game recently. The good friend also encountered a series of experiences of confession in the game and a few days before his birthday when his girlfriend hinted at giving a red envelope. What happened to my friend made Xiao Yin feel so familiar. Something was wrong. Xiao Yin quickly compared the information of "girlfriend" with her friends, only to find that they both sent WeChat red envelopes to the same "girlfriend" a few days ago. Feeling cheated, angry Xiao Yin questioned "Li Yupeng" with a micro letter, and suddenly he found himself blacked out by the other party. Xiao Yin just woke up from a dream and realized that he had been cheated, so he reported the police to the police station.

  After receiving Xiao Yin’s report, Xiaodongmen police station immediately investigated the case according to the clues provided by the victim. At work, the police found that the woman mentioned by Xiao Yin was actually a woman named Du Mou, who lives in Guizhou. She is 25 years old this year, and the "photos of herself" she sent to the victim were all searched from the Internet. The so-called birthday time is also pure fiction, which is not consistent with the real situation. Recently, Du Mou has defrauded many male netizens through the online game platform in the name of falling in love. On August 19, after grasping the relevant evidence, the police rushed to Guizhou to arrest the suspect Du Mou.

  After arriving at the case, Du Mou confessed to the police that he was an ordinary office worker. Because of his huge daily expenses, he often made ends meet, so he thought of defrauding others of money in the name of falling in love. She met Xiao Yin in the process of playing "werewolf killing" on the Internet, so she fabricated her identity and established a so-called "boyfriend and girlfriend" relationship with Xiao Yin and took the opportunity to ask Xiao Yin for money. At the same time, she also contacted many victims in the same way in the game, and induced the other party to transfer money to herself in various names to defraud property.

  At present, the criminal suspect Du Mou has been criminally compulsory by Huangpu police for alleged fraud, and the case is under further investigation.

  The police reminded: In the online virtual world, there are all kinds of scammers. Whether you are making friends or falling in love, you must be cautious. Don’t transfer money to strangers at will to avoid being deceived.

Look at the foundation, look at the highlights and support Sichuan to create a national global tourism demonstration zone.

Notice of the General Office of the People’s Government of Sichuan Province on Printing and Distributing the Implementation Plan for Establishing a National Tourism Demonstration Zone in Sichuan Province

A few days ago, the "Implementation Plan for Creating a National Global Tourism Demonstration Zone in Sichuan Province" (hereinafter referred to as"program") officially issued, opening a new journey for Sichuan to create a national tourism demonstration zone from the provincial level.

Previously, there were 8 national tourism demonstration zones in Sichuan, such as Dujiangyan City and Emei Mountain City, ranking first in the country with Jiangsu and Shandong provinces. There are 47 provincial-level global tourism demonstration zones, and it is expected that 10 will be added this year, and the development of global tourism has been at the forefront of the country. Why is the "Program" issued? What will Sichuan do to build a national global tourism demonstration zone from the provincial level? With questions, the reporter interviewed many professionals in the industry.

Look at the basics

Excellent resource endowment and solid industrial foundation

It is the general trend to take the road of global tourism.

In recent years, Sichuan has established provincial-level and national-level global tourism demonstration zones, all of which are based on counties (cities, districts). The relevant person in charge of the Department of Culture and Tourism told the reporter that the "Program" promotes the development of global tourism from the provincial level, which not only conforms to the rapid development of Sichuan tourism and meets the needs of tourists who keep pace with the times, but also is based on the existing resources and industrial advantages of our province, which is the general trend.

"The transformation and upgrading of Sichuan’s tourism industry has accelerated, and the scale, quantity and quality of the cultural and tourism industries have ranked first in the west and the forefront of the country. The foundation for developing global tourism is solid and has great potential." The person in charge said that the general survey of cultural tourism resources in the province showed that there were 3,057,400 cultural resources, 245,700 tourism resources and over 1,800 five-level tourism resources.

The recovery of cultural tourism industry is strong. At present, the comprehensive contribution rate of cultural industry and tourism to the province’s GDP reaches 25%. National night cultural tourism consumption gathering areas, tourism and leisure blocks and other new tourism brands emerge one after another, ranking first in the country, which is one of the most dynamic provinces in the country’s tourism development. These have become important conditions for Sichuan to create a national global tourism demonstration zone.

According to Yang Xiaohua, a senior engineer of the Provincial Forestry and Grassland Eco-tourism Development Center, Sichuan has unique advantages, rich resources, high combination, uniqueness and monopoly, which are unmatched by other provinces, and provide a basis for the linkage of the Northeast Sichuan Cultural Tourism Economic Belt, the Chengdu Cultural Tourism Economic Belt and the South Sichuan Cultural Tourism Economic Belt mentioned in the Plan to build a recreational holiday tourism belt around the basin.

Look at the bright spot

From point-line-plane combination to all-factor fusion

Revitalize idle resources   Innovative cultural tourism consumption new scene

Resources should not only be more but also "live". Zhao Yao, the person in charge of the project, told the reporter that optimizing tourism public services, focusing on strengthening industrial integration, optimizing the supply system, improving public services, improving the governance system, increasing brand promotion and promoting co-construction and sharing are the highlights of the Plan. At present, there are some ready-made cultural and sports idle resources in villages and towns in the province, which can be used to revitalize public service resources and improve utilization rate. Innovative cultural tourism consumption scenarios, such as high-speed service areas with rich cultural creativity, dynamic and convenient smart tourism platforms and warm-hearted tourist service points, will continuously enrich tourists’ sense of public space experience in towns and promote the realization of global tourism enjoyment.

Yang Xiaohua believes that the development of global tourism can not only stay in scenic spots and hotels, but also pay more attention to the effective redistribution of various resources and public services for economic and social development, which is both livable and suitable for tourism, with scenery everywhere and tourism everywhere.

The integrated development of "production, city and scenery" has become the main focus. Zhao Yao believes that the integrated development of tourism, industrial tourism and forest tourism is an inevitable stage of global tourism development. Only when tourism continues to empower various industries will new products and routes for cultural tourism be born. According to Liu Xiaofang, chief planner of Leshan Wenguang Tourism Bureau, the integration of tourism with culture, industry, education, health and sports will bring new vitality to generate and promote the development of global tourism in a deeper level. For example, Leshan Jiayang National Mine Park has gradually turned into a popular research site, and the city has developed more than 100 research courses.

Look at the support

Counties (cities, districts) and cities (states) make efforts at different levels.

"double innovation linkage" helps achieve the goal

Sichuan is one of the provinces that practiced the concept of global tourism development earlier. The relevant person in charge of the Department of Culture and Tourism said that in recent years, the creation of a famous Tianfu tourism county has become a "booster" for creating a national tourism demonstration zone, effectively stimulating the vitality of the county economy. All localities have set up "double founding" to coordinate global tourism and the construction of Tianfu tourism county, forming a "double innovation linkage" Sichuan model. The promulgation of the "Program" further strengthens the responsibility of party and government coordination, departmental linkage and participation of all parties, and promotes innovation in institutional mechanisms, policy initiatives and governance models.

The "Proposal" proposes that by 2025, 3 cities (states) and 50 counties (cities, districts) will successfully create national global tourism demonstration zones, and a total of 80 provincial-level global tourism demonstration zones will enter the national global tourism demonstration zone creation list. This means that the county (city, district) level global tourism brand is the foundation for the creation of the city (state) level global tourism brand, and the city (state) level global tourism brand is the foundation for the creation of a national global tourism demonstration province. Only by making efforts at all levels can the county (city, district) and city (state) bring strong support to the creation of a national global tourism demonstration zone in the province.

The provincial-level global tourism demonstration zone and Yilong county, a famous tourist county in Tianfu, are used as power units to explore the way of taking the typical tree with the whole region. Hu Run, director of the Wenguang Tourism Bureau of Yilong County, told the reporter that the Qilonghu project and the Hakka B&B Expo Park will all be "new" this year, and Yilong is making every effort to create a national global tourism demonstration zone.

"The development of county-level global tourism can lay a solid foundation for Sichuan to create a national global tourism demonstration zone." The relevant person in charge of the Department of Culture and Tourism said that other Tianfu tourism brands still need to be strengthened, such as implementing the "Comfortable" Panda Culture IP to create a three-year action plan, which is called "Comfortable Sichuan" tourism image.

In Xi’an, Shaanxi Province, national security photo exhibitions are being held in places such as Bell and Drum Tower Plaza. This easy-to-understand form of expression makes ordinary people realize that it is everyone’s responsibility to maintain national security.

Beijing seizes the opportunity of the Winter Olympics to polish the "golden business card" of historical and cultural heritage

CCTV News:Today (February 13th), 2022 Beijing News Center held a special conference on Beijing’s historical and cultural protection. Beijing cultural relics and tourism departments said that they would seize the opportunity of the Winter Olympics to actively promote Beijing’s intangible experience and polish the "golden business card" of historical and cultural heritage.

According to the relevant person in charge of the Beijing Municipal Bureau of Cultural Relics, Beijing is a world-famous ancient capital, with 7 world cultural heritages, 3,840 immovable cultural relics and 5.01 million movable cultural relics registered in the state. In recent years, the Beijing Municipal Bureau of Cultural Relics has been coordinating the protection, inheritance and utilization of cultural relics around "one axis, one city, two parks, three belts, one district and one center".

Liu Hongchang, spokesperson of the Second Inspector of Beijing Cultural Relics Bureau:First, a new breakthrough has been made in the application for the World Heritage Site, and the draft text of the application for the World Heritage Site has been submitted to the World Heritage Center for format review in advance. Second, we signed agreements with National Cultural Heritage Administration and other units to build a museum city. Third, the construction of the three cultural belts presents new highlights. The Grand Canal Cultural Research Center was established in the Grand Canal Cultural Belt, and a number of Great Wall rescue and reinforcement projects were completed in the Great Wall Cultural Belt.

The relevant person in charge of the Beijing Municipal Bureau of Culture and Tourism said that Beijing’s rich historical traditions have accumulated a large number of precious intangible cultural heritage, and 12 projects, including Peking Opera, Kunqu Opera and Tai Ji Chuan, have been selected into UNESCO’s "Representative List of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity". The Bureau of Culture and Tourism seized the opportunity of the Winter Olympics to actively promote Beijing’s intangible experience.

Liu Bin, spokesperson of Beijing Municipal Bureau of Culture and Tourism:We will launch intangible tourism routes with the theme of the Winter Olympics and the Great Wall to provide citizens with seasonal options for enjoying the Winter Olympics and winter leisure tours. We actively establish and improve the system construction of non-genetic inheritors’ protection, and continue to grant inheritance subsidies to non-genetic inheritors in the city to ensure the basic inheritance activities of inheritors.

CCTV reporter Xu Su:As the host city of the Winter Olympics, Beijing has opened a new window for the world to perceive China culture, showing the profound historical and cultural heritage of the "Double Olympic City". In recent years, Beijing has done a good job in historical and cultural protection and urban renewal, so that the ancient capital of the Millennium will glow with new charm.

Is Vietnam’s economy developing rapidly? The data tells you

Original digging number 

In the past year, the news has often shown that Vietnam’s economy has developed rapidly, and recently Li Ka-shing has held a heavy position in Vietnam, which makes me very curious. In addition, I have a relative, and a friend of my relative went to Thailand to open a textile factory in his early years. Now, wealth is free and children and grandchildren are everywhere, which makes me feel that going to sea in Southeast Asia really seems to be a business opportunity in the future, so I decided to dig.

 

Hanoi is the capital of Vietnam.

Next to Guangxi and Yunnan, Viet Nam covers an area of 330,000 square kilometers. Compare the areas of several China provinces with it:

 

The population of Vietnam is similar to that of Guangdong. In 2020, the population of Vietnam was 97.34 million, and that of Guangdong was 126.84 million.

If we put Vietnam’s area and population into the 10 ASEAN countries, it is such a contrast:

(Area on the horizontal axis and population on the vertical axis)

It can be seen that among the ten countries, Vietnam ranks fourth in area and third in population.

The population of Vietnam is very young. In 2019, an article in the Securities Times mentioned:

At present, the average age of more than 95 million Vietnamese population is 29 years old, and 70% of the population is under 35 years old.

The young population has given Vietnam a foundation for economic take-off.

Reform and opening up make the economy grow at a high speed

Vietnam is very similar to China, both of which are socialist countries. In 1978, China proposed reform and opening up and embraced the market economy. In 1986, Vietnam studied China and proposed reform and opening up, and began to embrace the market economy. The reforms implemented since 1986 include:

1. In 1986, private enterprises were allowed to compete with state-owned enterprises in non-strategic fields;

2. 1987: Reform state-owned enterprises, introduce accounting system, replace production targets with income targets, delegate power to managers, and demutualize state-owned enterprises;

3. 1988: The Land Law was passed, allowing farmers to use land for a long time and sell their products in the free market;

4. 1990: The Law on Private Enterprises was passed, providing legal basis for private enterprises, and so on.

Although Vietnam’s GDP growth has been suppressed by China, it has remained above 6% all the year round.

Compare Vietnam’s GDP growth rate with Thailand and the Philippines with similar size;

Vietnam is obviously faster and more stable than the other two countries.

Put the total GDP of Vietnam into the ten ASEAN countries, and the comparison is as follows:

Vietnam is in the middle.

Vietnam’s stock market on the rocket

Compared with Big A’s 3000-point defense war all day, Vietnam’s stock market has soared in the past 10 years.

The above is the VN Index of Vietnamese stock market, which is equivalent to China’s Shanghai Composite Index. In 2010, the index was 490, but now it is 1285, which is 2.62 times in 12 years.

By the end of October, 2021, there were five companies in Vietnam’s stock market with a market value of more than 10 billion US dollars, namely:

The stock market looks at expectations, and the soaring stock market can also show that the national economy is expected to improve. According to a data found in Zhihu, BlackRock, the world’s largest asset management company, ranks first in its stock positions tracking emerging countries, with a proportion of 26%, which is more than three times that of the second Nigerian. It can be understood that among the global developing China countries, except the traditional BRIC countries, Vietnam is basically the first chase target.

Vietnam house price

Hanoi in Vietnam is equivalent to Beijing in China, and Ho Chi Minh City is equivalent to Shanghai. Ho Chi Minh’s urban planning refers to Shanghai:

According to Savills data, as of the third quarter of 2021, the average house price in Ho Chi Minh City was US$ 2,683/m2, which was RMB 17,976/m2 at the current exchange rate.

According to the data of China Investment Network, since 2015, the house price in Ho Chi Minh City has experienced an increase of more than 20% every year. According to CB Richard Ellis’ 2021 Asia-Pacific Investor Intention Survey, Ho Chi Minh City ranks fifth in the Asia-Pacific region, behind Tokyo, Singapore, Seoul and Shanghai.

Curious about the difficulty of buying a house by local people in Ho Chi Minh City, I checked that the local average wage is 2480 yuan/month, and local people can buy a square meter house with a salary of 7.24 months, which is 8.27 months in Shanghai. It seems that buying a house is also quite difficult.

(The average salary of private units in Shanghai in 2020 is 6678 yuan/month, and the average price of second-hand houses in May this year is 55226 yuan/square meter.)

Ho Chi Minh City, tall buildings in the distance and intertwined wires in the vicinity.

Checked the prices of Vietnamese supermarkets and compared them with those of China supermarkets:

Except for chicken and milk, other categories are only a little lower than China’s. According to the average wage of about one-third of Vietnam in China, this price is terrible.

Vietnam’s shortcomings

As can be seen from the above, Vietnam’s economy has developed rapidly, but at best it is the level of China 20 years ago. You should know that the first subway in Vietnam was just opened in 2022, and it was aided by the Beijing subway, not to mention that there is no high-speed rail in Vietnam. The rapid development of manufacturing industry needs a good logistics infrastructure, and Vietnam is still very weak at present.

Vietnam’s size and population determine that it can’t become a manufacturing power. At present, Vietnam only undertakes some low-end manufacturing industries in China, and there are still decades to go before high-end manufacturing industries.

Everything in Vietnam is copied from China, regardless of urban planning, manufacturing or Internet industry. There is a company called Little Tencent in Vietnam, VNG, which just landed on NASDAQ in the United States, with a valuation of 2-3 billion US dollars. It has a social app-Zalo with the largest number of users in Vietnam. This company originally made its fortune as an agent for "Chivalrous Love" of Jinshan Game in China, and the interface of Zalo is very similar to WeChat. As early as 2011, Tencent was VNG.

VNG’s app

Copying everything means a lack of innovation.

Global news: U.S. stocks rebound, chip stocks outperform the broader market, and Bank of America is optimistic about Apple’s rise over 3%.

  On Thursday (January 19th), EST, driven by the general increase of technology stocks, the three major US stock indexes collectively closed up, with the Nasdaq rising by more than 1% to smooth out the decline during the year, and the Nasdaq 100 index reached a record high.

  At the close, the Dow rose 201.94 points, or 0.54%, to 37,468.61 points. The Nasdaq rose 200.03 points, or 1.35%, to 15,055.65 points. The S&P 500 rose slightly by 41.73 points, or 0.88%, to 4,780.94 points.

  The eye-catching performance of technology stocks overnight was mainly driven by two news sources. First, the performance of the chip foundry giant TSMC Q4 exceeded expectations, and its share price also rose by nearly 10%. Goldman Sachs analysts said on Thursday that TSMC management believes that manufacturing AI chips may account for more than 10% of its revenue within five years, which will have a positive impact on NVIDIA and AMD. Sure enough, NVIDIA and AMD’s share prices closed at record highs.

  Some analysts said that technology stocks were boosted by TSMC’s latest performance today, and the company has many positive views on the forward-looking guidance of semiconductors and AI.

  On the other hand, Apple, which has been hit by the headwind recently, has been favored by Bank of America against the market. It upgraded Apple’s stock rating to buy, and predicted that Apple’s share price will rise by more than 20% in the next 12 months. This has also boosted the confidence of the market to a certain extent. After all, the former "stock king" was an important heavyweight in Nasdaq.

  On the macro level, the US Senate passed the short-term expenditure bill of the federal government, and about 20% of the government funds due are expected to "renew their lives" in the short term. Although this is nothing new, at least a big stone hanging above the market has landed.

  In addition, Bostic, chairman of the Atlanta Federal Reserve and the voting committee of the Federal Reserve this year, said that he now thinks that the time to cut interest rates is the third quarter of this year. However, if inflation slows down "much faster than he expected", then he will be open to taking action earlier.

  It is worth mentioning that the number of people applying for unemployment benefits in the United States reached 187,000 in the first week of January 13, the lowest since the week of September 24, 2022, indicating that the US job market is full of resilience. After the data was released, the yield of US bonds continued to rise, and the yield of 10-year US bonds remained above 4.1%, and finally closed at 4.142%. The yield of two-year US bonds, which is more sensitive to the Fed’s policy interest rate, closed at 4.354%.

  [Hot stocks]

  Among the large-scale technology stocks in the United States, Apple rose 3.26%, Amazon rose 1.18%, Google A rose 1.42%, and Nye soared 1.04%. NVIDIA closed up nearly 2%, reaching a record high with AMD, which once rose more than 5%. Microsoft hit a record high, while Tesla fell nearly 2%.

  [global index]

  In the European stock market, the FTSE 100 index rose slightly by 0.17% to 7459 points. The French CAC40 index rose 1.13% to 7401 points. Germany DAX index rose slightly by 0.83% to 16,567 points.

  In Asian stock markets, the Hang Seng Index rose slightly by 0.75% to 15,392 points.

  [foreign exchange commodities]

  The main contract of Brent crude oil closed at $78.96 per barrel, up 1.39%; The main contract of crude oil in the previous period closed at 564.60 yuan per barrel overnight, up 1.99%. Overnight, the Shanghai gold main contract closed up 0.11% to 479.96 yuan per gram.

  [Highlights]

  Us Senate passes short-term spending bill

  The short-term spending bill passed by the Senate on Thursday extended the federal government’s spending funds to March. If it fails to pass, including funds from the Ministry of Communications, some veterans’ assistance and food and drug safety projects, about 20% of government funds will expire after 0: 00 am on the 20th. The short-term spending bill has been submitted to the House of Representatives, which is expected to vote later on Thursday.

  What is Trump’s "market significance"? Goldman Sachs: US dollar and US bond yields rise

  Goldman Sachs believes that if the Republican Party wins and sweeps the Senate and the House of Representatives, then the US market may experience a strong dollar, rising inflation, rising US Treasury yields and a steep yield curve in the future, which will increase the risk of large fluctuations in energy prices.

  Federal Reserve Voting Committee: The first rate cut is most likely in the third quarter. If inflation accelerates, we are open to taking action earlier.

  Bostic, president of Atlanta Federal Reserve, said that he wanted to see more evidence of "disinflation" before the Fed cut interest rates, and reiterated that he now thought that the time to cut interest rates was the third quarter of this year. Bostic added that if inflation slows down "much faster than he expected", he would be open to taking action earlier. However, he also reiterated that he is still looking for more evidence to prove that "we are on the track to 2%".

  Minutes of ECB meeting: Need to remain vigilant and patient.

  High interest rates will continue for some time, and the fear of a "hard landing" in the economy will ease. Some officials of the European Central Bank are worried that premature relaxation may affect anti-inflation efforts, so they prefer to maintain high interest rates for a while.

Four-valent vaccine is recommended for influenza prevention this year: it can prevent four virus strains.

  Many people still remember the fierce flu and vaccine shortage last year. What is the situation this year?

  Yesterday, the reporter learned from the "Symposium on Influenza Prevention and Control Countermeasures under the New Situation" held by Guangdong Preventive Medicine Association that the "tailing" effect of influenza in southern China is obvious this year. In order to prepare for the winter and spring influenza, the state is stepping up the batch issuance of influenza vaccines.

  The World Health Organization (WHO) has finally determined and announced the composition of influenza vaccine in the northern hemisphere influenza season from 2019 to 2020, and it is recommended to use tetravalent influenza vaccine. China’s self-produced tetravalent vaccine has doubled its output this year, and 11 million vaccines are being issued in batches. Guangdong is on the list of the first shipments and is expected to arrive at the end of August and early September at the earliest.

  Tetravalent vaccine: especially protecting the elderly and children.

  To prevent influenza, we need to carry out it according to what influenza virus is prevalent. Therefore, every year, the world pays attention to the components of the influenza vaccine strain of the World Health Organization, which means that global experts predict the epidemic type of the virus.

  At the seminar, Dr. Zheng Jiandong from China Center for Disease Control and Prevention introduced that the World Health Organization officially released the recommended components of seasonal influenza vaccine in the northern hemisphere in 2019-2020 on March 21st this year, and gave priority to the components of tetravalent influenza vaccine, which means that tetravalent influenza vaccine will become the first choice for preventing influenza virus in the northern hemisphere in the future, including China. This northern hemisphere vaccine formula contains H1N1, H3N2, Victoria strain B (BV) and Yamagata strain B (BY).

  Because of trivalent vaccine in 2018, it failed to play a very good role in protecting Yamagata(BY (by) virus that was popular in that year, just as the formula of traditional Chinese medicine lacked blindly important components, and the immune effect was not satisfactory. The situation in recent years shows that it is imperative to capture the two lineages of influenza B in one fell swoop and prepare them in the influenza vaccine formula. The tetravalent vaccine has become the WHO’s priority recommendation for influenza vaccine in the northern hemisphere, which is the latest major change, including Yamagata(BY (by) component.

  Dr. Zheng Jiandong said: "I will choose the tetravalent influenza vaccine for vaccination this year." Because of one more protection, the BY flu virus that can’t be prevented is quite powerful without new components.

  Influenza B virus is mainly a local outbreak, and tends to infect specific groups, such as children and the elderly with poor immunity, so it is easy to cause complications in addition to typical infection symptoms. The related research in China from 2003 to 2008 suggested that the mortality rate during the period when influenza B virus was mainly prevalent exceeded that during the period when H3N2 was mainly prevalent.

  It is not difficult to understand the truth that "a simple cold can still kill people", and it is easier to empathize with Middle-aged Beijing under the Influenza. It is precisely because of this that the immune expectation of tetravalent influenza vaccine can be said to protect people with poor immunity, especially the elderly and children.

  Vaccine supply: Guangdong is included in the first batch of 8 provinces and cities delivery list.

  Last year, the supply of influenza vaccine was tight in the whole country, and "one vaccine is hard to find" is still fresh in people’s memory.

  Dr. Zheng Jiandong from China Center for Disease Control and Prevention pointed out that this year, China’s influenza vaccine immunization program still followed the recommendation of WHO. Different from last year, the supply of trivalent and tetravalent vaccines should no longer be in short supply. "Last year, some enterprises stopped producing influenza vaccines because of insufficient production capacity."

  Due to the obvious "tail effect" of influenza in southern China this year, the reporting rate has been maintained near the baseline of 5%. In order to prepare for the winter and spring influenza, the state is stepping up the batch issuance of influenza vaccines.

  Tetravalent influenza vaccine is recommended as the first choice to prevent influenza virus this year. Are manufacturers ready? The reporter was informed that Hualan tetravalent influenza vaccine is a tetravalent vaccine independently produced in China, and it is also the only influenza vaccine in China that has passed the pre-certification of the World Health Organization, which also means that the vaccine has obtained a "passport" for exporting to Europe, America and other countries and regions.

  According to the person in charge of Pan in South China, the production of tetravalent influenza vaccine has doubled this year, and it is expected to reach 11 million people. Although WHO’s component formula came out late, the first batch of 560,000 people has been approved and issued. Guangdong is included in the first batch of delivery lists of 8 provinces and cities, and it is expected to arrive at the earliest end of August and early September.

  After the vaccine is used, antibodies are produced 15 days later, and the immune protection can be maintained for at least one year.

  Suitable vaccines:

  Six high-risk groups

  Influenza is highly contagious, spreads quickly and is easily confused with the common cold. About 65 million to 190 million people are infected with influenza every year in China. "Unfortunately, the influenza vaccination rate in China is only about 2%." Dr. Zheng Jiandong pointed out that six high-risk groups, including medical staff, students, infants, the elderly, pregnant women and patients with chronic diseases, are the key groups for influenza vaccination.

  The benefit-cost ratio of influenza vaccination is 6.48:1, which is even higher for the elderly aged 65 and above. Previous monitoring results indicate that the risk of influenza activity in winter in Guangdong province is increasing, and the risk of outbreak in kindergartens, schools, nursing homes, prisons, detention centers and other collective units is increasing. It is recommended that the public be vaccinated as soon as possible.

  Be careful with vaccines:

  Egg allergy

  Many citizens have consulted reporters, and heard that if there are allergic eggs, it is not appropriate to get the flu vaccine. Is it the same with tetravalent? In this regard, disease control experts said that in China Pharmacopoeia and vaccine instructions, people who are allergic to eggs are classified as "cautious" rather than "banned" tetravalent influenza vaccine, and even "cautious" has been cancelled in the United States. In fact, the residual content of egg ingredients in tetravalent vaccine is very low. However, whether or not to vaccinate depends on personal wishes.

  Many expectant mothers also want to be vaccinated with tetravalent influenza vaccine. However, pregnant women are listed as "forbidden" in China Pharmacopoeia and vaccine instructions. Even though clinical results abroad, including Europe, the United States and East Asia, show that 987 pregnant women have good immunogenicity and safety after using tetravalent vaccine, it is still "forbidden" in China and is not recommended.

Farewell The film channel broadcasts flying tigers and other representative works of Qin Yi.

Special feature of 1905 film network The witness and cultivator of China’s centenary film history, one of the 22 movie stars in New China, and the winner of the national honorary title of "People’s Artist" died in the early morning of May 9 at the age of 100.


In memory of this famous film performance artist who grew up together with China’s films, the film channel has urgently adjusted its broadcast, and will broadcast her representative works on May 10th and May 11th respectively, so that we can relive her eternal beauty in light and shadow.



Qin Yi, born in 1922, appeared in his first film at the age of 17, and then performed plays in Chongqing and Chengdu.


In 1941, she joined the Chinese Drama Club led by the Communist Party of China (CPC), and became popular because of her role as Huang Shuhui in the drama spring returns. After successively participating in dramas such as The Spring and Autumn of the Kingdom, An Imperial Envoy, Dong Xiaowan and Wedding March, her outstanding performance made her known as the "Four Famous Dancers" on the stage of drama.

Qin Yi returned to Shanghai in 1946, became an actor in Shanghai Film Studio after the founding of New China, and served as the deputy head of Shanghai Film Actors Troupe.


So far, she has been with movies for more than 80 years, during which she participated in more than 40 movies and TV series and created countless classic screen images.


In the first film after the establishment of Shanghai Film Studio, Qin Yi played a rural woman who could pull a cart and carry stones.

What really made Qin Yi known to the national audience was flying tigers released in 1956, in which she played the witty, brave and warm-hearted Fang Lin.


Flying tigers tells the story of a flying tigers who fought bravely with the Japanese invaders on the railway line during the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression period.


Sister Fang Lin, played by Qin Yi, is the wife of guerrilla captain Liu Hong. Under the influence of her husband, she leads women to cooperate with various actions in flying tigers.

In 1957, Qin Yi starred in the first colorful sports feature film "Women’s Basketball Team No.5" after the founding of New China. The film revolved around the life experience of basketball player Tian Zhenhua and the different situations of Lin Jie and Lin Xiaojie’s mother and daughter, revealing the fate of sports players before and after liberation.

Qin Yi plays the suffering mother Lin Jie. At the age of 35, the shape of this deep-bottomed white lapel cheongsam suit in the film, coupled with tearful eyes, has a stunning beauty both then and now.


Lin Jie in Women’s Basketball No.5


Qin Yi once said that his three favorite films are Women’s Basketball Team No.5.. Compared with the other two films, she played the least part in Song of Youth, but her performance of Lin Hong, a desperate Communist of party member, was a light that could not be concealed in the classic red films of the same period.

The audience who are familiar with Qin Yi will find that her life, like many classic female characters she has performed, has suffered a lot, but it always shines with the kindness, fortitude, gentleness and beauty of China women. Walking on the road of winning numerous awards for a hundred years, she witnessed every step of the new China film from the start to the take-off.



Teacher Qin Yi once said, what is the most important thing for people to live in this world? Still a value, that is, what you have given to the world. Others don’t care about how much you get, but how much you pay.


Let’s relive the beauty left by Qin Yi in "flying tigers" and "Women’s Basketball No.5", and feel the dedication of the older generation of artists to the film all their lives.


Flying tigers was broadcast at 18:00 on May 10th.

At 8:10 on May 11th, "Women’s Basketball No.5" was broadcast.
