Livestreams for Hubei businesses

央视开直播为湖北带货

CCTV news hostess Ouyang Xiadan joined hands with Hong Kong actor Wong Cho Lam on Sunday to promote Hubei agricultural products during a livestream targeting the province once hardest hit by the novel coronavirus. 
12日，央视新闻主播欧阳夏丹与香港演员王祖蓝携手为湖北农产品直播带货，湖北省是遭受新冠肺炎疫情打击最严重的省份。

The names of Ouyang Xiadan (homophonic to "place an order") and Wong Cho Lam (homophonic to "stop") are combined to form a catchphrase: "No one could stop me from placing an order." Local foods such as hot dry noodles and crayfish sold out soon after the promotion started. 
欧阳夏丹(谐音"下单")与王祖蓝(谐音"阻拦")的名字谐音刚好组成标语：谁都无法"祖蓝"我"夏丹"。热干面、小龙虾等当地特产美食在促销活动开始后不久便被秒光。

On April 6, a special show jointly hosted by CCTV news host Zhu Guangquan and livestreaming celebrity Li Jiaqi on Taobao Live featuring 16 products from Hubei attracted 15.45 million visitors and about 660,000 orders, generating a total turnover of nearly 23 million yuan. 
本月6日，央视新闻主播朱广权和直播名人李佳琦搭档的淘宝直播节目专场销售来自湖北的16款产品，共吸引观众1545万人次，获得订单约66万份，总成交额近2300万元。

Global shortfall of 5.9M nurses
世卫:全球护士缺口590万

Nurses play a vital role on the front lines of the novel coronavirus pandemic. But a shortage of these essential health care workers could pose challenges in countries dealing with a growing number of COVID-19 cases. WHO's new State of the World's Nursing 2020 report has identified a global shortage of 5.9 million nurses. 
护士在抗击新冠肺炎疫情前线发挥着重要作用。但是这些至关重要的医护人员短缺给新冠肺炎病例日益增多的国家带来了挑战。世界卫生组织新发布的《2020全球护理状况报告》指出，全球护士缺口达590万人。

Many of those gaps are found in Africa, Southeast Asia, the eastern Mediterranean, and parts of Latin America. Among regions of the world, the Americas have the highest density of nurses at 83.4 per 10,000 people, followed by Europe with 79.3 nurses per 10,000 people. 
大部分缺口位于非洲、东南亚、地中海东部和拉美部分地区。按区域来划分，美洲的护士密度是最高的，每1万人中有83.4名护士，其次是欧洲，每1万人中有79.3名护士。

In contrast, there are 8.7 nurses per 10,000 people in Africa. But training more nurses won't solve the problem, said Dr Giorgio Cometto, WHO coordinator on human resources for health policies and standards. The key is balancing training with the creation of employment opportunities in rural areas where there are known health worker shortages.
相比之下，非洲每1万人中有8.7名护士。不过，世界卫生组织健康政策与标准人力资源协调员乔治·科梅托博士说，培训更多的护士并不能解决这个问题。关键在于平衡培训与在医护人员缺乏的乡村地区创造就业机会之间的关系。
