United States .. The first country to exceed 200,000 cases of corona infection



        On Wednesday, the United States crossed the threshold of 200,000 cases of emerging coronavirus, according to the Johns Hopkins University census, a reference to monitor these infections on US soil.
The death toll from the virus reached 4,361 cases in the United States, which tops the list of countries most affected by the virus with 203,608 recorded infections.
New York is the epicenter of the epidemic in the United States, with at least 1,900 deaths recorded, according to Governor Andrew Cuomo.
In an effort to stem the growing epidemic, more than 8 out of 10 Americans were asked to go home.


The White House considers that the epidemic will lead to the death of between 100,000 and 200,000 people if the Americans abide by the current measures, compared to between 1.5 and 2.2 million if these measures were not taken.

On the other hand, the Pentagon announced that 93 people were infected with the emerging coronavirus, on the American warship "Theodore Roosevelt."


The captain of a US aircraft carrier, which has more than 4 thousand people on board, had requested emergency assistance, on Tuesday, to stop the outbreak of the Corona Virus on his ship, after it was confirmed that a number of sailors on board the ship were confirmed last week.
A number of people aboard the "Theodore Roosevelt" aircraft carrier, anchored at Guam Island, were confirmed infected last week, before the Pentagon announced that 93 people were infected .



"We are not at war. Sailors do not have to die," said Brett Cruiser, the aircraft carrier's captain, in a message to the Pentagon.
Cruiser recommended quarantining nearly all of the crew.


Cruiser said it is impossible to apply social divergence measures on board the aircraft carrier, as many sailors live in narrow spaces.
In his letter, dated March 30, the military official warned that the spread of the virus was "continuing and accelerating."
"There is a need for decisive action," he added.

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...
