 'Probably, manufacturers will go to Asia and Africa in future.” Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has promised an economic rescue package worth 108 trillion yen ($990 billion), or around 20 percent of the country’s gross domestic product, to mitigate the impact of the coronavirus pandemic.The money includes $2.3 billion to “reform supply chains,” including $2 billion to help companies move production back to Japan and $215 million to help those “seeking to diversify production bases” to other countries, according to details posted by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry.China is Japan’s biggest trading partner, but imports from China slumped by almost half in February, after factories there were closed to curb the spread of the virus, disrupting supplies of vital components to Japanese manufacturers, Bloomberg reported.The World Trade Organization said this week that the virus had already badly undermined global trade, but warned the impact will be greater “in sectors characterized by complex value chain linkages, particularly in electronics and automotive products.” By Simon DenyerApril 9, 2020 at 3:13 AM EDTRunners may be exposing themselves even when 6 feet apart, study saysThe rule is now familiar, if not utterly routine, for anyone who has ventured outdoors in the middle of the pandemic: Whether walking the dog, buying groceries or taking out the trash, you should stay more than six feet apart to contain the novel coronavirus.But anyone who goes outside to exercise may need to keep an even greater distance from other runners and joggers, a new European study says, to properly practice social distancing.Researchers at KU Leuven in Belgium and the Eindhoven University of Technology in the Netherlands found that someone infected with the virus could pass on respiratory droplets to people more than six feet behind them through a kind of vacuum they form as they cut through the air.“When you are moving — running, cycling, walking — you are actually creating an area behind you that is often called a slipstream,” Bert Blocken, who coordinated the study, told the Brussels Times.Athletes often use these slipstreams to run or bike at a higher speed, Blocken said.According to simulations run by his team, a jogger moving at about 2.5 miles per hour was likely to come into contact with the slipstream, and thus, the droplets, of someone exercising as much as 50 feet ahead.The study suggests that runners and cyclists may want to avoid moving directly behind another person and falling into their slipstream, Blocken said, by moving side by side or in a staggered formation.When such a formation is unavoidable on narrow paths or sidewalks, those seeking an outdoor workout should stay at least 15 feet apart when walking, 33 feet when running or cycling slowly and 65 feet apart for more vigorous exercise, he told the Globe and Mail.By Teo ArmusApril 9, 2020 at 3:07 AM EDTAustralian police seize Ruby Princess ‘black box’ after surge in infections linked to ship Police in Australia have seized the “black box” from the Ruby Princess cruise ship, days after launching a criminal investigation into the vessel that has been linked to hundreds of confirmed cases of the coronavirus in the country.The ship, operated by Carnival Australia, docked in Sydney last month.',
