【明報專訊】THE novel pneumonia epidemic is sweeping across the world. Currently over 100,000 people have been infected in 92 countries, and more than 3,600 lives have been taken. Yet the epidemic is showing signs of a further spread. The world has only one enemy today, and it is the novel coronavirus. What is regrettable is that China and the US are still "exchanging blows" at governmental and civilian levels, not letting up a bit despite the epidemic.
