An international race to produce the Corona vaccine

Besides the efforts being made by various countries of the world to contain the Corona virus, there are accelerating scientific efforts to produce a vaccine that may end this epidemic that has infected more than 200,000 people and killed 8,000 others.

The information began to reveal the development of drugs to combat "Covid 19", some of which entered the stage of clinical trials, which is an advanced stage before it was approved.
There are hundreds of scientists working around the world to produce an anti-viral vaccine, the New York Times said in a report on Tuesday.

This figure indicates a significant increase, as the World Health Organization said last February that 20 vaccines are being developed, which reflects the interest of scientists, drug companies and countries as well in finding a solution to the Corona problem.

Many scientists are seeking to produce drugs that attack the virus itself, while a research group in California seeks a different approach, based on fortifying the proteins in our cells that the virus depends on to reproduce.

The most powerful computer in the world enters the battle against Corona

In a new spark of hope to control the emerging epidemic of the Corona virus, scientists have been able to exploit the advantages of the world's fastest computer to produce an effective vaccine at an early date. Scientists say the computer, named after the IBM supercomputer equipped with the "artificial intelligence brain," has been able to determine which chemicals can stop the spread of the Corona virus, and is therefore a critical step toward the production of the vaccine against the disease. The supercomputer has a power of 200 betaflops, which means that its computing speed is 200 quadrillion per second, meaning it is a million times stronger than the fastest laptop. The CNN website stated that "Smit" had simulated more than 8,000 compounds that could bind to the virus' protein, which might limit its ability to spread to the host cells. The computer was able to identify and rank 77 of them, based on the likelihood of them being linked to...

Netanyahu and head of Mossad in the Quarantine

The new Corona virus forced Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other ministers to submit to a quarantine, after the Ministry of Health announced that Minister Jacob Litzman was infected with the virus, on Thursday. The Ministry of Health said in a statement that Jacob Litzman and his wife, who are also infected with the virus, were isolated and were in good condition and receiving treatment. She added that she would send requests to undergo isolation to those who have been in touch with the minister for the past two weeks, including Netanyahu, other ministers, and the head of the Mossad intelligence service, Yossi Cohen. Litzman had contacted Netanyahu several times recently. The Haaretz newspaper reported that the authorities asked Cohen and the head of the National Security Council to isolate themselves after they met Litzman. Netanyahu underwent self-isolation after his counselor was found to be infected with the virus, while Israel was close to imp...
