When is the Coronavirus vaccine be available?




Indeed, clinical trials of vaccines for the emerging coronavirus have started, while almost others will begin, but it remains difficult to determine when to release it.
Even if the trials go well, there are many obstacles before the vaccine becomes available in the world.

And all eyes of the world are installed towards the anticipated vaccine for the virus, which the WHO declared recently a pandemic, so it may protect people from the disease that has claimed the lives of thousands around the world.

According to the British newspaper "The Guardian", 35 companies and academic institutions in the world are competing to produce a vaccine that can ward off the threat of the virus, also known as "Covid 19".


The newspaper said that 4 of these institutions have started vaccine tests that they have developed, including the American company "Moderna", which started clinical trials in humans.

For its part, the French "Sanofi" group announced that the drug "Blacknell", the anti-malarial drug that it produces, has demonstrated "promising" results in treating patients with the emerging coronavirus.


And thanks to the great speed of the arrival of drugs to the stage of human tests, the Chinese efforts in tracking the sequence of genetic material for the virus "Covid 19".
China shared information with others about the sequence of genetic material in early January, which allowed researchers around the world to study the virus and how it invaded human cells and infected the disease.

The CEO of the Alliance for Epidemiological Innovations, Richard Hatchett, says the speed of "companies to produce an anti-coronavirus vaccine depends on their investment and an understanding of how to develop past vaccines against previous Corona viruses."


This alliance, an Oslo-based non-profit organization, is leading the effort to fund and coordinate efforts to develop a Coronavirus vaccine.

Coronaviruses, or corona family, caused two epidemics, the first in China between 2002 and 2003, known as the SARS virus that leads to acute respiratory syndrome, and corona virus or the Middle East syndrome years ago.


Anielis Smith, professor of infectious diseases at the London School of Tropical Medicine and Tropical Medicine, says that work to produce a vaccine is going very quickly, but that he will encounter many obstacles.
He added: "Like most vaccine specialists, I don't think it will be ready before 18 months."

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...

Panic in stores and markets on toilet paper and canned food

With the spread of the Corona virus around the world, shoppers are running around the markets, supermarkets and pharmacies either to fight the Corona virus or to prepare for possible quarantine. Early popular products were Clorox wipes and hand sanitizer. As with the spread of the virus in a large way, the demand has become steadily on toilet paper. Because of the panic, fear of the people, and the high turnout in stores, most stores have restricted what people can buy, as shoppers cannot purchase more than six antiseptic wipes, hand sanitizers, and hard wipes. But why is the toilet paper the last purchase without others? The behavior of people and their high demand for toilet paper has been explained by the fact that since people do not know how to interpret the virus, it raises the need to prepare in any way possible. Something they can buy they know they might need ... is toilet paper. With the spread of the epidemic around the world, people were seen rushing t...

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...
