From days to minutes .. "revolutionary" technology contributes to encircling Corona

The US Food and Drug Administration has approved a new examination of the emerging corona virus, revealing the presence of the disease or not during a period ranging between 45 minutes and a few hours at the latest, which contributes to surrounding the epidemic.

The new scanning system is called Cepheid Xpert Xpress SARS-CoV-2, and its devices will be available for use by the end of March, according to the US News Fox News.

The Food and Drug Administration said in a press statement: "The examination that we are passing today will be able to provide the Americans with results within hours, instead of days."

The Minister of Health and Human Services, Alex Azar, explained that the new scan tools will make things easier for those who need to take the new Corona virus test.

The developer, "Cevid", based in California, revealed that it will start shipping devices starting next week, noting that there is a significant increase in demand for these devices by health institutions in light of the current crisis.

According to "Fox News", the new screening mechanism is done by collecting the patient's biological sample with a swab from the nose, and then placed in a tube containing test reagents, and then placed in a device called GeneXpert, determines whether one was infected with the Corona virus or not. "Our automated systems do not require users to obtain specialized training to conduct the examination, they are able to work around the clock, seven days a week," company president Warren Cookmond said. It should be noted that a large number of people with this virus show symptoms only after a while, which makes it difficult for health authorities to monitor the spread of corona.

A 5.7-magnitude earthquake hits Utah, cuts the power to tens of thousands, and stops flights

A 5.7-magnitude earthquake struck the Salt Lake City area on Wednesday morning, cutting tens of thousands of electricity and suspending work at a Utah public health laboratory in the midst of the Corona virus pandemic. The airport said that flights to Salt Lake International Airport were diverted, departure was delayed, and terminals and terminals cleared so that engineers could inspect the facilities. The US Geological Survey said the quake was centered about 10 miles west of Salt Lake City, near Magna, starting at 7:09 am (9:09 am ET). People gathered in Salt Lake City city center after they left their buildings due to shaking and stayed outside. This is the state's strongest earthquake since 1992, when a 5.9-magnitude earthquake struck the St. George region, Utah's emergency management department said. The state’s Ministry of Health said that operations at the state’s public health laboratory were halted as the building was evaluated for damage. Th...

A solar storm hits the earth on the first day of spring

Space weather forecasters have noticed a stream of solar winds coming toward us, which could hit Earth on March 19, the first day of spring. Scientists said that the solar wind could lead to the aurora borealis in the northern hemisphere. The stream of particles stems from the sun from a small hole on the surface of the sun, allowing winds to penetrate the solar system and move to its depths. The Space Weather website reported global predictions: "A small current from the solar wind is expected to hit the Earth's magnetic field on March 19, which may cause the twilight to occur around the Arctic Circle. The gaseous material flows from a newly opened hole in the sun's atmosphere." The aurora borealis occurs when solar particles strike the atmosphere, and when charged particles from the sun strike atoms in the Earth's atmosphere, which consists of different gases such as oxygen and nitrogen, those atoms are excited to give different colors with diffe...

mother's Day

Mother's Day is a celebration that appeared recently at the beginning of the twentieth century, and is celebrated in some countries to honor mothers and motherhood, the mother's association with their children, and the influence of mothers on society. This appeared in the desire of Western and European thinkers, after they found children in their societies neglecting their mothers and not giving their full care to them, so they wanted to make a day of the year to remind the children of their mothers. Later, the scope of the celebrants widened to become celebrated in many days and in various cities in the world, and most often it is celebrated in the month of March, April or May. The date of Mother’s Day differs from one country to another, for example in the Arab world it is the first day of the spring semester, that is March 21, while in Norway it is celebrated on February 2 ,in Argentina it is October 3, and South Africa celebrates it on May 1. In the United St...
