WHO reveals date to produce "Corona vaccine"

The World Health Organization (WHO) said on Sunday that it will take at least a year to develop a vaccine for the
emerging coronavirus, noting that the risk is that the disease will spread further aftetr the isolation is raised. A WHO official spoke about the Corona vaccine, saying it would take at least a year to develop, stressing that "it will happen." "Corona not only affects the elderly and has a major impact on the middle-aged group," Reuters quoted the official as saying.

He added: "The risk is that the disease will return to spread further after the sanitary lift is removed, so we need to constantly search for injuries."

These statements come at a time when companies and countries are still racing to produce a vaccine for the "Covid-19" virus, as media reports indicate that more than 30 trials are currently under development.

"The acceleration of this process is really exciting in terms of what we can do, based on the work that started with the SARS virus, which started with the respiratory syndrome of the Middle East (MERS)," said Maria Van Kerkhof, technical director of the WHO's emergency program, earlier. , And it is now used for Covid-19 virus.

Scientists confirm that the clinical trials and safety approvals required to obtain a practical vaccine in the market may take up to 18 months.

The new Corona virus has infected more than 308,000 people, and has killed nearly 13,000 people worldwide.

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...
