  Vidcast:  https://youtu.be/czAdC2EQ59w   The legendary Brit prime minister Winston Churchill once remarked that Americans always do the right thing…after they've tried everything else.  That quote is so relevant to our continuing, wrongheaded mismanagement of CoVid.     When the pandemic was originally raging in the winter of 2020-21, many refused to wear masks, distance, avoid indoor crowds, and flocked to outdoor super-spreader events.  As the result, CoVid patients filled our hospitals, we ran out of ventilators, and we needed refrigerator trucks to warehouse our dead parents and grandparents when undertakers, cemeteries, and cremation  facilities were overwhelmed.  We shut down our economy and operated our businesses and schools using high tech remote communications.    Things improved this past winter and spring with the availability of 3 CoVid vaccines.  Older and sicker adults got vaccinated followed by teens and most recently younger children.  Then too, more people but not all began using appropriate masking and modified their indoor activities and outdoor gatherings.  Mass transit use resumed.    Things were looking good through the summer.  Plans were made to reopen  schools, offices, indoor dining, theaters, and indoor sports events.   Then over the summer the more transmissible Delta variant arrived from from India. It could cause asymptomatic infection even in the vaccinated, and those infected silently spread it.  Indoor venues began to require proof of vaccination and masks, but some faked the vax cards and refused masking.    Then studies began to show that immune protection against Delta CoVid dropped dangerously low by 5 to 6 months after  vaccination. A booster campaign began and is ongoing.   This month the super-transmissible Omicron variant arrived from South Africa, and it seems to require even higher levels of antibodies for neutralization necessitating boosters for all    Cases are again raging, and hospitals are again filling.  Omicron isn't helping, but it is likely not the main cause.  The cause is the false assumption that we still have vaccine protective immunity and our failure to do something about it.     Only about 60% of Americans are vaccinated, and we lag behind most other Western nations. The vast majority of us now have waning immunity and only 30% have been boosted.  Despite our diminishing protection,  indoor activities and outdoor mass events with sloppy or negligible masking continue.  Don't be surprised if lockdowns, remote schooling, and virtual work again become necessary.     Now is the time for all Americans to finally heed Winston Churchill.  Isn't it obvious that we've tried everything else, and it's high time we did the right things.    Everyone should have 3 shots, including the boosters, of the very effective Moderna or Pfizer vaccines.  Those eligible for additional boosters as 4th or maybe 5th shots must get them. Everyone should wear 4 or 5 layer N95 or FDA certified KN95 masks indoors, on mass transit, and outdoors around others.  Indoor dining should stop, and outdoor dining huts must be ventilated and distanced with public health guidelines standardizing their construction. Indoor  theater and  indoor sports events should be postponed until CoVid cases stop rising.    We've tried everything else and now we must do the right thing.  That means everyone must be vaccinated and we must have strict enforcement of masking, distancing, and ventilation.  Look…  personal choices stop when your choices expose others to a deadly disease and endanger the community.     We will need timely changes to public health recommendations and crystal clear CDC recommendations.  Short of these changes, this life-threatening pandemic will never end, and the virus will imprison us because of our own stubbornness and avoidance of public health necessities.  The 800,000 Americans we've already lost will be joined by millions more.   If you haven't yet figured it out, we're fighting a war, and every American is on the front line.  Do your part!   Uncle Sam and we all need you.     #CoVid #delta #omicron #vaccination #masking #immunity  

  Vidcast:  https://youtu.be/qryCnr7nrJg   Receiving a third boosting dose of the Pfizer vaccine at least 5 months after the second immunizing dose reduces the risk of death from a Delta CoVid infection by 90%.  Israeli public health investigators reviewed the data from 843,208 members of the Clalit Health Services who were 50 years of age or older.   The mortality rate for those who only received the first two doses of the Pfizer vaccine was 2.98 per 100,000 persons per day.  Receiving that third dose reduced the rate by 95%  to 0.16 per 100,000 persons per day.  Projecting that lifesaving statistic to the United State population of middle aged and older adults shows that a timely booster saves 3,686 of our parents and grandparents every day or 1,345,520 of our beloved family members in a year.   The lifesaving plan is to get 2 shots of either the Pfizer or Moderna mRNA vaccines followed in 5 to 6 months by a booster of either vaccine since its ok to mix and match.  Those who are immunosuppressed should get a third immunizing shot 1 months after the second Pfizer or Moderna.  Then, they should get a boosting dose 6 months after the 3rd shot.  Those who got the Johnson and Johnson vaccine should get a boosting dose 2 months later.   https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa2115624   #CoVid #delta #booster  

  Vidcast:  https://youtu.be/SxOANS2RUhs   Unvaccinated persons cause up to 90% of all new CoVid infections.  This the conclusion of a German mathematical modeling study seeking to understand the huge uptick in CoVid infections since October that is clogging German hospitals and driving consideration of lockdowns.   The German mathematicians calculated that two-thirds to as many as three-quarters of all new CoVid infections occur in unvaccinated persons.  In addition, their calculations suggest that 38 to 51 % of these infections occur because unvaccinated persons infect other unvaccinated persons.  Said another way, unvaccinated persons contribute more to the spread of CoVid than waning immunity in the vaccinated.   None of us wants to spend another winter locked up in our homes and unable to pursue any public indoor activities such as in-person work, in-person school and college, and indoor public activities including shopping, theater, and mass transit.  The surge of Delta CoVid and the appearance of Omicron now make it clear that mandatory vaccinations and masking are a must.   We have been fighting the CoVid War with the equivalent of a voluntary army, and we are losing.  We have tried battling CoVid with voluntary vaccinations, masking, and testing.  That strategy has failed miserably, and now, Uncle Sam want you!   This is a public health emergency, and responsible governmental officials at the federal, state, and local levels must all act to require vaccination and boosting for all.  They must act to enforce the use of masks in all public places but especially in stores, theaters, and on mass transit.  They must act to require testing and isolation of all at risk for CoVid or with frank symptoms of it.  To do less is just plain irresponsible and dangerous.   We already ask and demand by the enactment of laws that everyone drive at safe speeds because reckless driving can not only hurt the driver but innocent bystanders.  Vaccination and responsive masking against CoVid are the same, since the only way to control this virus is for everyone to possess immunity to it and to avoid spreading it.  Your body, your choice is not your choice if you hurt others.   And every doctor in the United States, those in clinical practice, medical education, research, and public health should be calling on their patients to get vaccinated and follow solid public health principles.  They should actively and publicly support the efforts of public officials to mandate the same.   https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.11.24.21266831v1.full.pdf   #CoVid #vaccination #breakthrough #boosters #masks #mandates #testing

  Vidcast:  https://youtu.be/mvIBVSrazAI   The Pfizer CoVid vaccine was 90% effective in preventing any CoVid Delta variant infection in fully vaccinated teens 12 to 15 years of age.  This from a collaborative study from Israel's Clalit Institute and the Harvard Medical School that studied 94,354 vaccinated teens and compared their outcomes with an equal number of unvaccinated controls.   The study data shows a gradual development of effective Delta CoVid immunity as the teens received the 2 shots of Pfizer vaccine.  Vaccine effectiveness against any Delta CoVid infection was 59% 2-3 weeks after dose 1, 66% 3 to nearly 4 weeks after dose 1, and 90% 1 to 3 weeks after dose 2.  The vaccines ability to prevent a symptomatic Delta CoVid infection was 57% 2 to 3 weeks after dose 1, 82% 3 to nearly 4 weeks after dose 1, and 93% one to 3 weeks after dose 2.   This study gives reassuring evidence that 2 doses of at least one of our current CoVid vaccines effectively protects children against the Delta variant of CoVid.  This provides an excellent rationale for vaccinating all children.   https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMc2114290   #CoVid #vaccine #children #teens  

  Vidcast:  https://youtu.be/Z5oopP1-PhE   The Delta CoVid variant triggered a huge spreader event on Cape Cod in association with this year's 4th of July holiday.  A comprehensive epidemiological evaluation of those infected by researchers at Harvard and MIT determined that the majority of those infected and spreading the infection were fully immunized against CoVid.   Genetic analyses were obtained from the viruses infecting 467 persons of the 1,098 outbreak cases associated with multiple 4th events including many indoors.  The data showed that the super-spreader was powered by 40 individual sources of Delta CoVid yet 83% of the outbreak cases were attributable to a single person spreading CoVid during 25 separate transmission events most involving vaccinated persons as both secondary spreaders and victims.   The bottom line: even if fully-vaccinated you can contract CoVid and spread it if you don't mask and distance, particularly indoors.   https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.10.20.21265137v1.full.pdf   #CoVid #superspreader #vaccine #mask #distancing #indoor

With John DiLeo Recorded 17th October 2021 by Auckland Unitarian Church Well, it finally happened. On the 17th of August, New Zealand joined the rest of the world in dealing with an outbreak of the Delta COVID variant in the community. Our government's “short, sharp” response announced that afternoon turned out not to be all that short…and, recently, has lost a great deal of its sharpness, as well.

  Vidcast:  https://youtu.be/8l8KbQFbEIM   When Delta CoVid infects children and teens, the duration of symptomatic illness and the need for hospitalization is about the same as for the initial British variant.  London researchers studied 694 kids who tested positive for CoVid during the Delta predominant May to July 2021 and compared their data to 706 kids who tested positive during the Alpha predominant December to May.   The median illness duration was 5 days with a range of 2 to 9 days for either Delta or Alpha. The median duration by age for both variants for the younger 5-11 year old children was 4 days (3-8d) and 2 days longer at 6 days (4-10d) for older 12-17 year old children.  The 7 most prevalent symptoms were the same for both variants:  headache, fatigue, fever, smell issues, sneezing, runny nose, and sore throat.  Symptoms tended to be more prominent with Delta than with Alpha.   Hospitalization for Delta CoVid was necessary for 3.5% of younger kids and 1.7% of the older ones.  For Alpha, it was 2.2% of younger and 1.9% of older.   https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.10.06.21264467v1.full.pdf   #CoVid #delta #children #duration #hospitalization  

Nearly a week after oil was first reported off the coast of Orange County, investigators still have not been able to determine exactly how much crude has spilled into the Pacific. Tar balls have been spotted further south in San Diego County, but it's unclear if they're from the oil spill. During the pandemic, people have taken up lots of new hobbies and activities. That includes yoga. And some yoga instructors have found ways to create culturally sensitive spaces for students of color, in an industry where many feel white westerners have co-opted the practice.  Reporter: Gabriella Frenes, The California Report  As COVID-19 cases decline in California, Los Angeles County health officials are encouraged by another metric -- more teenagers are getting vaccinated. In the past month, there was a 5% increase in Latino 12-15 year olds receiving the free shots. The percentage was similar for Native American children in the same age group, followed by Black children.  Reporter: Jackie Fortier, KPCC  Bay Area public health officers say the Delta COVID-19 surge is subsiding. So now, it's time to talk about an exit strategy for indoor mask mandates. Reporter: Raquel Maria Dillon, KQED

This is not a devotion in the normal format. Instead, I recorded an account of having recently survived the Delta variant of Covid-19 in August 2021.I hope to give an understanding of the effects of the virus and its sometimes deadly consequences. I survived due to 3 factors: 1) The diligence of my wife who woke me at 3:00 am on August 11th after taking a sample of my oxygen levels with a pulse oximeter and I was at 51%. She strongly urged me to go with her to the ER for the 3rd time in two weeks. I was very sick by this point and resisted, but eventuall  yielded. The ER doctor, after having a CT scan performed on my lungs, told me if I had not come in when I did it was likely I would not have survived that day.2) The excellent care and treatment by the staff in the ICU of a nearby hospital over the next 6 days. (The fact I was released so soon after being told initially I would likely be there 3-5 weeks was due to the medical treatments and prayer.)3) As mentioned above, prayer made my recovery possible through medical means and I believe also by direct intervention from GOD. I try to explain it in this episode.I discovered after recording this episode I got the dates I off by a week when the event occured - it was actually on 8/11-17 when I was hospitalized. My apologies - Full show notes at hopesharbor.netHope's Harbor Gritty Bible DevotionsEpisode #22Title: My account of surviving the Delta variant of covid.Date: October 4th, 2021Contact: info@hopesharbor.netKey verse(s):Intro: When I recorded the following account as part of E21 it was too long to put in a regular episode since I try to keep them less than 10 minutes.The reason I left my account long on details is my belief many people are dying from complications from covid that aren't realized until it's too late. A beloved uncle died last year from one of these complications and I've had a couple of friends/former coworkers who also died from similar causes.I too, nearly lost my life to one such complication.For this reason and the spiritual experience, I offer this on the off chance it may help someone.Episode focus: We are eternally safe in GOD's care regardless of events that happen to us in this life.First of all, I'm not someone who flaunts any experience with GOD, because these are deeply personal. Secondly, I don't believe in showcasing experiences with GOD in an attempt to motivate GOD's people. I believe it often leads to Christians seeking GOD for some kind of experience, something to generate excitement. This belief is based on experience while attending a church as a child that focused much attention on emotional stimulus.However, I will try to share what happened, but caution against seeking this kind of experience. Anyone who seeks GOD in order to know Him better and serve Him out of love for Him will experience sometimes wonderful revelations.But these have been few and far between in my walk with GOD for the last 44 years this month, September 2021. The walk of faith, by definition believing what we cannot see, implies we should serve GOD without demanding or expecting a visible, physical show of evidence. Jesus said better are those who believe without seeing (evidence). This principle is found in John 4:48 – ‘Then Jesus said to him, "Unless you people see signs and wonders, you will by no means believe." And also: John 6:26 - Jesus answered them and said, "Most assuredly, I say to you, you seek Me, not because you saw the signs, but because you ate of the loaves and were filled.”'On July 28th I became ill, thinking it was a cold and sore throat only, but by the next day recognized it as the same symptoms as covid that I had

Ann Rohmer opens this week's show with a discussion with Rocco Rossi of the Ontario Chamber of Commerce on how businesses are managing the vaccine mandate. Tina Cortese discusses cyber security in a new KPMG survey about how businesses and consumers can protect themselves from a cyber attack; especially since so many companies made the move to digital because of the pandemic. Ann Rohmer introduces us to Cooks Who Feed; a group that is feeding those in need. So far they have provided 300,000 meals. Canadians who travel internationally (58 per cent) remain wary about trips abroad due to the rise of the Delta COVID-19 variant, and less than one quarter plan to travel internationally in the next six months, more than two-thirds (78 per cent) say international travel is one of the things they're most looking forward to as the pandemic stabilizes. Tina Cortese discusses this survey by Wise Technology. Jim Lang looks into a survey from the Ontario Lottery Corporation that suggests sports fans are super-excited about the new legal option to make single event sports bets.

A month ago, we thought things were getting better. We could take off our masks around vaccinated friends, we could go out to eat— we felt safer going to church and to the grocery store. Then the Delta variant hit and it's a game changer, especially for children. Because of low vaccination rates the virus was circulating widely in our community— then it mutated, and we have Delta Covid. We are on the verge of having schools shut down again. Delta Covid is so much more contagious, and it seems to be hitting children much harder. Covid patients are filling...Article Link

一週財經聚焦 一，7月27日，國際貨幣基金組織（IMF）發佈新的經濟預測，上調了對美國等富裕經濟體的經濟預估，於此同時也下調了一些發展中國家的經濟預估。看來變種病毒的橫行霸道正在拉開全球的差距，我們該如何看待？ 國際媒體相關報導 ●CNN：〈Vaccine shortage holds back developing world as rich economies roar ahead〉(疫苗短缺，制衡了發展中國家追趕已開發國家的腳步) ●Macau News澳門日報：〈WTO says disparities in vaccine rates can hit economic rebound〉(WTO認為，令人失望的疫苗接種會打擊經濟反彈) ●Economist經濟學人：〈Why have some places suffered more covid-19 deaths than others?〉(為什麼有些國家疫情致死率比其他國家高？) 分析解讀 IMF的預期調整再次提醒我們，在經濟復甦的道路上，疫情的變化莫測只會加劇全球的貧富不均。國際貨幣基金組織發佈的報告名為《全球經濟展望》（World Economic Outlook），特別的是，相比上個季度，報告中仍然維持了對2021年全球經濟增長6%的預估。 IMF經濟學家表示，根本原因，在於低收入國家新冠疫苗接種率遠遠低於發達國家，再加上變種病毒的高傳播力，使疫情的持續威脅超過預期。 報告看好美國的復甦前景。今年4月IMF預測美國今年增長6.5%，明年增長3.5%；三個月過去了，對美國今明兩年的經濟增長預測大幅增加了0.5和1.4個百分點，達到7.0%和4.9%。 如此樂觀的預測有兩個原因：一方面，美國疫苗接種符合預期進展；另一方面，拜登政府提出的規模龐大的刺激計劃，如果國會批准，將有四兆美元資金湧向基礎設施、教育和家庭支持。 既然全球總增長率預測不變，那麼當然其他國家會有漲就有跌。 IMF對印度2021年的增長預測下調至9.5%，雖然還維持在高位，但相比之前的預測，下調了3個百分點。原因在於今年印度持續地與疫情纏鬥，拖累了經濟復甦。 與印度情況相似的還有東南亞諸國，IMF下調了對印尼、馬來西亞、菲律賓、泰國和越南的經濟前景。這些國家難以像中國大陸、香港、韓國、台灣等地，將病例數控制在極低水平，同時受制於疫苗供給等原因，疫苗接種率又不及歐美等國家。 相比之下，IMF對中國2021年的增長預測下調0.3個百分點，理由是公共投資和整體財政支持的縮減。 從這份報告來看，我們可以得到以下3個結論： 第一，IMF首席經濟學家Gita Gopinath表示：「高於預期的疫苗接種率和經濟恢復正常，帶動增長預估上調，而一些國家（尤其是印度）缺乏疫苗和新冠疫情捲土重來，導致了增長預估被下調。」在發達經濟體中，近40%的人口已充分接種疫苗，而在新興市場經濟體中，這一比例為11%，在低收入發展中國家，這一比例更小。 第二，香港中文大學商學院助理教授胡榮表示，疫情無疑帶來了巨大挑戰，由於各國在處理經濟危機和獲得疫苗的能力上存在巨大差異，疫情後的世界經濟，在不同國家和地區將更加不平衡。 第三，甚至有分析認為，極端情況下，全球經濟將形成雙軌運行，各個較發達經濟體由於疫苗接種率高，控制得當，形成一個大的經濟氣泡，而低收入國家將在疫情中持續掙扎，游離在氣泡之外。這將加劇全球收入分配不均，甚至形成馬太效應—貧者越貧，富者越富。 報告也提出兩個呼籲： 首先，各國應優先考慮衛生支出，特別是疫苗接種，支持弱勢家庭和企業，投資於教育、培訓以及提高生產率等項目。而相關的刺激計劃，可能由於民主黨和共和黨之間的嚴重分歧，在國會被迫縮減。 不過兩天後的7月29日，世界貿易組織（WTO）也發佈警告，全球COVID-19疫苗接種率不均等，可能影響全球經濟復甦。 WTO秘書長伊衛拉（Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala）在世界貿易情勢半年度報告中指出，世貿最新預測，2021年商品貿易量將成長8%，2022年增加4%。 但她同時指出，全球各地區貿易表現出現明顯分歧，這差異主要是疫苗分配不均所致。她說，對於低收入國家尤其如此，目前這些國家僅1%人口甚至才接種1劑疫苗。伊衛拉表示，無法確保全世界都有疫苗可用，對全球經濟和公共衛生都造成嚴重威脅。 因為這樣，美國CDC要求已完全接種疫苗者在室內也應佩戴口罩，中小學生秋季學期在校也要佩戴口罩。東京週二發布了2848例新病例，創下大流行以來最高值；英國解封後每日新增病例連續下降一周，英國首相呼籲保持謹慎，不要過早得出結論。由於Delta毒株擴散和疫苗接種緩慢，國際貨幣基金組織週二下調了今年亞洲新興經濟體的經濟增速預期。 事實上，在Covid-19大流行發生17個月後，關於這場災難的許多問題仍未得到解答。例如，目前尚不清楚這個病毒是如何起源的，另一個難題是，為什麼某些地區的流行病破壞性比其他地區小。 為什麼佛羅里達州的的病例人數少於美國平均水平，儘管那裡的限制已經放寬了更長時間？ 事實證明，這與健康措施、氣候或地理環境關係不大；相反的，它與經濟學有關。 每個人都知道老年人的風險最大，但日本28%的人超過65歲，而全球這一比例為9%，但到目前為止，日本死亡人數非常少。 還有一些研究表明，疫情之前流感較嚴重的地方，遭受Covid-19的影響較小；但研究人員對這一結論提出質疑。封鎖的強度與病例數、死亡率之間，似乎沒有一致的相關性。 目前為止，最有說服力的是收入的不平等。在最近的一次研究中，數據科學家Youyang Gu運行了一個模型的多個版本，該模型試圖找出41個不同變量與美國州級 COVID-19 死亡之間的相關性。他發現，只有三個變數始終保持影響力：收入不平等、人口密度和人均養老院的居民。在這三者中，收入不平等的影響最大。 舉例來說，講求平等主義的北歐（即使在幾乎沒有隔離措施的瑞典），疫情造成的死亡人數低於整個歐洲；基尼系數為0.29的法國，它的超額死亡人數遠低於鄰國英國的0.34。 (基尼系數通常用來專指「所得分配的平均度」，依照公式來看，這個係數值必然介於０與１之間，愈接近零則所得分配愈平均，愈接近１則愈不平均。) 紐約州既有極高的不平等，也有巨大的 Covid-19 死亡人數；佛羅里達州在這兩個方面都不那麼特殊。 很少有其他研究人員像顧先生那樣對變數進行排序。然而，經濟學人對數十篇研究Covid-19 死亡人數決定因素的論文的調查發現，收入不平等一直具有很強的解釋力。 麥吉爾大學的Frank Elgar及其同事最近對84個國家進行的一項研究發現，基尼系數每增加 1%，Covid-19的死亡率就會增加 0.67%。 另一篇由斯坦福大學的Annabel Tan、Jessica Hinman和 Hoda Abdel Magid撰寫，著眼於美國的各州。他們發現收入不平等與Covid-19病例和死亡之間的關聯在2020年有所不同，但總體上呈正相關；更大的不平等往往會導致更多的痛苦。 有三個背後原因值得關注： 1，第一個與先前存在的健康有關。哈佛大學的貝絲·特魯斯代爾 (Beth Truesdale)和克里斯托弗·詹克斯 (Christopher Jencks)於2016年進行的一項研究發現，「適度的證據」表明收入不平等加劇與預期壽命降低之間存在聯繫。這可能是因為經濟學家所說的健康與收入之間存在關係：給富人多出一美元的收入可能會改善她的健康，而不是從窮人身上拿走一美元對他的傷害。健康狀況較差的人往往更容易受到 Covid-19 的影響。 2，第二個潛在因素是工作場所關係。相對平等國家的工人往往有更多的議價能力，因此可能更容易向雇主表達和糾正疑慮。這可能有其缺點，但它可能有助於阻止有助於傳播 Covid-19 的做法。在瑞典，一個擁有強大工人權利的國家，前線（或「基本」）工人，例如肉類包裝工和警察，平均而言並沒有比其他人面臨更高的死於Covid-19 的風險，這可能會限制整體死亡人數。這與美國、英國和加拿大的結果形成對比，後者的監管更為寬鬆。加利福尼亞州的一項研究發現，某些工作的人比其他職業的人更容易死於covid-19。2020 年，廚師和出租車司機的死亡人數增幅最大。 3，第三個因素與社會資本有關。在高度不平等的地區，人們更有可能說他們不信任陌生人或對公民參與沒有興趣。國際貨幣基金組織在 2016 年發表的研究表明瞭原因：在人們生活方式截然不同的地方，他們彼此之間幾乎沒有共同之處。社會資本薄弱幾乎肯定會降低人們遵守病毒控制措施的意願，例如自我隔離或戴口罩，而私人服從的動機很弱。 然而扭轉收入分配的超級油輪並非一蹴而就，收入不平等的一些解決方案，例如提高稅收，會帶來自身的權衡。與此同時，政府需要調整他們的疫情應對措施，以考慮到不平等。例如，這可能包括改變在感染時留在家裡的經濟激勵措施（例如，通過使用自我隔離付款）或更多地投資於貧困兒童的健康，使他們成為更健康的成年人。如果沒有這些改進，高度不平等可能會繼續意味著更容易受到流行病的影響。 二，7月29日，匯豐控股HSBC的一項調查顯示，新興市場投資者越來越擔心發展中國家的經濟增長前景，手握大量資金，但未來幾個月確少有資金部署計劃。曾經的金磚四國，曾經的新興市場，真的已經風華不再嗎？ 國際媒體相關報導 ●Reuters路透社：〈Emerging market investors worry about economic growth -HSBC poll〉(新興市場投資人憂心當地的經濟增長) ●Financial Times倫敦金融時報：〈Rising dollar stokes nerves for emerging market investors〉(美元升值觸動新興市場投資人的神經) ●The Wall Street Journal華爾街日報：〈Investors Lost Hundreds of Billions on China in July〉(投資人在七月份的中國投資損失數千億美元) 分析解讀 新興市場是什麼？ 「新興市場」（Emerging Market）是經濟發展程度落後於北美、西歐、日本等「成熟市場」 （Developed Market），但卻正在快速開發及工業化的國家，且有機會從「開發中國家」（Developing Countries）發展為「已開發國家」（Developed Countries）的經濟體。 經濟學人在2000年曾經寫道：我們這個時代最緊迫的道德、政治和經濟問題是第三世界的貧困。當時，世界上28%的人口生活在極端貧困中，也就是說每天的收入不超過1.90美元。在這17億人口中，近 10 億生活在印度和中國。 僅僅一年後，時任高盛銀行首席經濟學家的Jim O'Nille 將這兩個國家連同巴西和俄羅斯歸為 2000 年代的一個定義性首字母縮略詞：BRIC金磚四國。儘管當時四方僅佔全球經濟產出的8%，但奧尼爾先生認為，鑒於其人口，即使人均產出略有增長，這一份額也會顯著增加，而且這種增長看起來很可能，敦促投資者注意，政策制定者也是如此。 研究人員預測： 1，到2025年，金磚國家的總GDP將至少是G6集團（美國、英國、法國、德國、意大利和日本）的一半。 2，到2040年，他們預計金磚國家將取得領先。一個截然不同的世界即將到來，如果不是在人均收入方面，大型新興經濟體的經濟實力幾乎已經趕上了北方發達經濟體。 第一個預測現在看太保守了。從2000年到2011年，以名義美元的市場匯率計算，金磚國家平均每年增長驚人的17%，而G6僅增長4%。到2017年，它們的GDP就達到G6的一半，而不是2025年。截至2018年，印度極端貧困人口數量已低於尼日利亞估計的9900 萬極端貧困人口。這是一項歷史性的成就。 但2040年的預測看起來遇到了麻煩。發達經濟體和發展中經濟體的增長在2010年代大幅放緩。從2011年到2019年，G6增長每年下降一半以上至2% 以下。另一方面，金磚國家的增長率下降了近70%，降至每年僅 5%。 其他低收入和中等收入國家的情況看起來大致相似。從2000年到2011年，以美元計算的 GDP加權平均年增長率對於新興經濟體來說是強勁的9%。到2011年，幾乎是原來的一半。 唯一例外只有南亞和東亞以及歐洲的新興地區不斷增加收入。就整個發展中國家而言，人均實際收入已回落至美國的18.1%；不是可怕的逆轉，但絕對是停滯。 2010年代並不是一個糟糕的十年。事實上，就新興市場增長而言，它們是歷史上第二好的十年。問題是2000年代太好了。就對人類生活的影響而言，沒有什麼比 2020 年代的增長是否會回到令人吃驚的2000年代的高度、保持在 2010 年代足夠的水平上，還是繼續下降趨勢更大的問題了。這樣的軌跡將使發展中世界的任何重要部分「追趕」發達經濟體的說法顯得越來越愚蠢。 經濟學家曾經認為，較貧窮的國家自然應該趕上較富裕的國家。 變得富有似乎只不過是從更成熟的經濟體借用科技並為工人配備更多的物質和人力資本的問題。 然而，在第二次世界大戰之後，加入富人行列對於以前被殖民的世界來說比想象的要困難得多。 投資者偶爾會對較貧窮國家的前景充滿熱情，比如1981年，一位名叫 Antoine van Agtmael的世界銀行員工為一家新的第三世界投資基金創造了「新興市場」作為一個引人注目（和金錢）的名字。但在 20 世紀的後幾十年里，只有少數國家實現了從窮到富的飛躍：這裡是韓國，那裡是台灣。 正是在這種背景下，金磚國家的崛起才顯得真正令人吃驚。但這並不是一夜之間的成功。 1970 年代後期，中國開始了漫長的經濟自由化進程。 印度於 1991 年開始放鬆國家對其經濟的控制。主要方法類似：貿易更加開放，並控制政府借款和通貨膨脹。 在這個已經很健康的土壤中又添加了三種肥料。 1，一是持續低利率和全球化金融的到來，提供了大量資金，願意在被認為比以往更穩定的新興市場尋找機會。 2，另一個原因是大宗商品價格普遍持續上漲，這提振了許多發展中世界經濟體的財富。 3，三是貿易爆發式增長。出口製造業是一條經過時間考驗的追趕之路，曾經需要緩慢而艱難的建立本土工業基地的過程。但是，隨著曾經包含在單個工廠或國家/地區內的生產過程沿全球供應鏈擴展，較貧窮的經濟體有可能通過控制生產網絡的小部分而不是重述一切來開始生產以供出口。 貿易佔全球GDP的比重從1990年的39%上升到2000年的51%，最終在2008年達到 61%的峰值。 三種肥料中的兩種，大宗商品繁榮和貿易繁榮的額外影響都在2010年代逐漸消退。國際貨幣基金組織的大宗商品價格指數從2000年到2011年大約翻了三倍。之後它開始下跌，並因此暴露了那些在資源出口價格上漲和信貸寬松的基礎上享受表面繁榮的經濟體。 貿易增長也放緩。在2007-09年全球金融危機之後，貿易復甦令人鼓舞，但在 2010 年代中期，貿易佔全球GDP的份額開始小幅下降。 造成這種情況的原因有很多，但一個重要的原因是中國政策的決定性轉變。改革步伐放緩； 隨著政府推動自給自足，國家干預有所增加。 中國未能繼續自由化，減緩了其他新興世界最理想的發展道路上的交通。如果中國增長更多，消費模式與發達經濟體趨同，它將成為其他發展中國家更大的市場。但改革不足也導致消費水平遠低於收入相當的經濟體（如墨西哥和泰國）的普遍水平，更不用說富裕國家的經濟水平了。 中國的國內市場雖然仍然巨大，但遠沒有原來那麼大，進口也比原來少了很多。雪上加霜的是，與許多相對富裕的經濟體相比，中國仍然更加依賴製造業。隨著收入的增加和生產者在其他地方尋找低工資工人，各國通常會開始削減一些工業生產。但中國抵制了這一趨勢，部分原因是改革進展停滯不前，部分原因是刻意努力提高自給自足。 在大宗商品價格和貿易增長的提振效應暫時擱置的情況下，開啓2000年代輝煌歲月的第三個因素是什麼：利率？他們仍然很低。但是，在 Covid-19 之後的富裕世界繁榮通常對發展中國家來說是一件好事，但在這方面存在一些風險。一些經濟學家警告說，美國的巨額支出可能會以某種方式引發通脹，這可能會迫使美聯儲比目前預期的更早、甚至可能更大幅度地加息。 高利率的蔓延可能會造成嚴重破壞，導致資產價格暴跌，並從新興世界中吸走大量資本。 1，Delta變種的傳播和富裕國家以外的疫苗接種步伐緩慢，對2021年強勁好轉的希望破滅了；到今年年底，可能仍有一半以上的發展中國家人口沒有接種疫苗。7月27日，國際貨幣基金組織在 4 月份曾預計印度今年的經濟增長將超過12%，但在7月27日將這一預期下調至9.5%。預計整個新興世界今年將增長 6.3%，2022年將增長5.2%。 2，趕超的條件之一是人力資本投資；受到疫情的嚴重打擊。儘管世界各地的學生因疫情造成的中斷而失去了上學時間，但最貧窮國家的學生受害最大。貧窮經濟體幾乎無法避免教育挫折。疫情還加劇了許多新興世界的治理和政治不穩定問題。 3，在1990年代和2000年代，貿易和產出的快速增長與國家之間的不平等減少有關，但國家內部的不平等加劇，新興市場也包括在內。 當 2010 年代經濟增長放緩時，經濟體內部經濟收益的分配在決定生活水平是繼續改善、停滯還是下降方面變得相對更為重要。 更加暴躁的政治成為世界範圍內的常態，各國要麼滑向專制，要麼進一步陷入專制。經濟學人智庫製作的民主指數從2015年到2020年逐年下降。 在最壞的情況下，政治不穩定可能會惡化為內部甚至州際暴力。 4，這是在解釋氣候變化之前。 它的經濟成本已經是可察覺的，而且只會增加，而且在貧窮國家普遍感受到的最嚴重。新興市場政府將面臨損失和損害、適應的財政負擔，以及通常的難民流動。 政治不穩定和國家間緊張局勢很可能會加劇。 2000 年代的追趕步伐可能再也看不到了。但如果情況不進一步惡化，金磚國家仍有可能在 2040 年之前與 G6 的產出相匹配，並且相關的增長將非常廣泛地展開。20世紀末打開的大門已經收窄，但並沒有關閉。 然而，穿越它的挑戰無疑比以前更大。 《經濟學人》總評 封面故事 這期經濟學人的封面設計非常形象化，一個象徵雨過天晴，充滿希望的彩虹令人詫異的被灌進了一個垃圾桶裡面。旁邊幾個白色字體，大字寫的是Dashed hopes破滅的希望。小字則是Emerging markets' growth problem新興市場的增長問題。 經濟學人本週的封面故事拉回了新興市場的觀察解析。回想這個世紀初，發展中經濟體就是這個世界無限樂觀和雄心勃勃的一個來源。但今天，許多新興市場的政治混亂此起彼落，大政府思維正在冉冉升起，秘魯剛剛選出了一名馬克思主義信仰者成為總統，緊隨其後的是巴西、印度和墨西哥的執政者。這波動亂和威權主義的浪潮部分反映的是Covid-19的效應，它揭露了腐爛的官僚體系和早已磨損的社會安全網，絕望和混亂催化了一個深層次的經濟問題：那就是許多貧窮和中等收入國家正在失去趕上富裕國家的能力。 有那麼一段時間，它們中的相當比例看似有機會引領風潮，甚至有機會超過美國，人均經濟產出output的增長比例從1980年代的34%上升到2000年代的82%。後續效果是巨大的，因為新興市場的貧困率下降了。 跨國企業紛紛想方設法離開乏味的西方世界，從地緣政治的角度上來看，Catch up風潮承諾了一個新的多邊世界，全球經濟版圖得到了更均勻的重新分配。 今天看來，這個黃金時代似乎已經早早的結束了。在2010年代，能夠繼續追趕Catch up的國家比例下降到了59%。確實，中國顛覆了許多的中國崩潰論者，亞洲也出現了像越南、菲律賓和馬來西亞這些低調的成功範例。 但巴西和俄羅斯已經讓金磚國家破功，拉丁美洲、中東和撒哈拉以南的非洲國家越來越不可能追趕得上富裕的國家。即使是亞洲的新興國家也有些欲振乏力。 Powered by Firstory

Certainly not to the public.Now, the Justice Department has cleared the way for Trump's taxes to be turned over to the House of Representatives.It was a day full of blockbuster trades for the Dodgers and Lakers, with a very important common denominator: superstars leaving Washington D.C. teams to head out west.And at the end of today's In Depth: MTV turns 40. Is the once pop culture behemoth still as relevant today as it once was?

Welcome to Times Will Tell, the weekly podcast from The Times of Israel. This week, as Israel is experiencing a minor surge of the delta or Indian variant of the coronavirus, we speak with The New York Times's South Asia bureau chief Jeffrey Gettleman, who is based in New Delhi. We discuss the horror of the height of the pandemic in India, which the Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist describes as every nation's nightmare. Prior to his four years in India, Gettleman has reported from war fronts in Afghanistan and Iraq, was taken hostage in Fallujah, has covered conflict in Sudan, Somalia, Egypt, Yemen and Ethiopia. Covering the pandemic is different, he said, and much closer to home. Hear about the overloaded health care system and how India is slowly stymieing the pandemic.

As temperatures rise across the country, infectious diseases, experts say it's a tale to COVID nations as we head into the summer. On one hand, we have some states with high vaccination rates and where people are still practicing mask wearing even after they've gotten the shot. On the other hand, we have stagnating vaccination rates in the south, especially among adolescents and anti-vaccine movements, bring in the Delta COVID variant and it might be a lot of trouble across the South in the months ahead.  Connect with Lisa on Facebook or Twitter.
