Coronavirus spreads in three continents; $5 trillion wiped off markets

新冠病毒在三大洲蔓延，全球股市蒸发5万亿美元

GENEVA/BEIG: Countries on three continents reported their first cases of the coronavirus on Friday as the world prepared for a pandemic and investors dumped equities in expectation of a global recession.

日内瓦/: 周五，三大洲均有国家报告了首例新冠病毒感染病例，全世界都在为应对该病毒做准备，预计全球经济将陷入衰退，投资者纷纷抛售股票。

Coronavirus panic sent world share markets crashing again, compounding their worst week since the 2008 global financial crisis and bringing the wipeout to $5 trillion.

对新冠病毒的恐慌导致全球股票市场再次崩盘，这是自2008年全球金融危机以来最糟糕的一周，全球股市蒸发5万亿美元。

Hopes that the epidemic that started in late last year would be over in months, and that economic activity would quickly return to normal, have been shattered as the number of international cases have spiralled.

疫情于去年年底在爆发，原本希望在几个月内就会结束、经济活动将迅速恢复正常，随着国际上确诊病例的急剧增加，这种希望已经破灭。

"Investors are trying to price in the worst-case scenario and the biggest risk is what happens now in the United States and other major countries outside of Asia," said SEI Investments Head of Asian Equities John Lau.

SEI亚洲股票投资主管John Lau表示：“投资者试图反应最坏的情况，而最大的风险是美国和亚洲以外的其他主要国家目前的情况。”

"These are highly uncertain times, no one really knows the answer and the markets are really panicking."

“现在是高度不确定的时期，没有人真正知道答案，市场真的很恐慌。”

But as the outbreak eases in it is surging elsewhere.

随着疫情的缓解，其他国家的病例却在激增。

Four more countries reported their first cases, taking the number of countries and territories outside with infections to 55, with more than 4,200 cases killing about 70 people.

另有4个国家报告了首个病例，使以外的受感染国家和地区的数量增至55个，总病例超过4200多例，约70人死亡。

Countries other than now account for about three-quarters of new infections.

以外的国家目前约占新增感染病例的四分之三。

杀生，吃动物是罪过。如果全世界都信教，选择非暴力的生活方式，那么灾难就不会发生了。讲卫生，勤洗手，还有戴口罩是非常必要的

Most of the viral diseases comes from eating animals. AIDS came from eating monkeys. Avoid eating non-veg guys. If you cannot control your tongue, then eat only well-cooked non-veg, not like who eat even raw animal flesh

大多数病毒性疾病是吃野生动物引起的。艾滋病是吃猴子引发的。大家别吃荤。如果你控制不住自己的嘴，那就要吃煮熟的肉类，不要像那样吃生肉

I agree with B Indian. Ban the IPL matches which might turn out to be a major source of mass epidemic spread. One infected person is enough to spread to thousands. Precaution is better than cure.

我同意印度板球超级联赛禁赛，否则可能造成大规模传播。一个感染者足以感染数千人。预防胜于治疗。

japan should cancel June 2020 Olympic. Spread of Corona Virus has become pandemic. It will take world at least 1 year to wipe out this virus. With air travel ban in many countries, how can June Olympic be conducted. June 2020 Olympics are doomed.

日本应该取消预计2020年6月举办的奥运会。新冠病毒已成为世界性的流行病。消灭这种病毒至少需要一年的时间。由于许多国家都实行了航空旅行禁令，6月的奥运会怎么可能举行呢?2020年6月的奥运会注定要泡汤。

更严重的问题是，出于商业原因，许多国家可能隐瞒了感染者的真实数据……
