Significant progress on the path to developing the corona virus vaccine: A group of British researchers announced Wednesday that it will pass an experimental vaccine to an animal test virus.

The breakthrough, reported by the British Daily Mail, was announced by Professor Robin Shattock of the Royal College of London, who claimed that the experiments on vaccine animals would begin next week.

According to Prosper Shatok, if the vaccine proves to be effective in animal experiments, experiments on humans will begin in the summer months, over eight months after the outbreak of the epidemic in China.

To date, the most rapidly developed vaccine has been for the affinity virus, which underwent less than seven months of initial mass production trials.

Is China hiding the real number of casualties?

Is China hiding the real number of casualties in the Corona epidemic? This is the opinion of the Taiwanese media. According to them, the real numbers were uncovered by mistake in the system, which should update the state's population in the number of people affected by the virus.

The country's media outlets say that the Ten-Cent website has gone up to minutes with a number of casualties far higher than the official quorum published by the government.

According to the data, 174,000 people have been infected with the deadly virus and more than 24,000 have died as a result of it. According to screenshots released by the Taiwanese media, the number of recoverers is much lower than the number provided by Beijing authorities.

The Taiwan News website claims that this is not the first time the Chinese site has revealed much higher numbers than the official estimate. However, it should be borne in mind that due to the rivalry between China and Taiwan, the island's media sometimes overstates Beijing's criticism.

Currently, the Chinese government's official casualty estimate is 24,000 infected, 494 dead, of which two are from outside China, and the estimated recovery is 1,028.

The corona virus was predicted

After dozens of airlines canceled their flights to China, the largest airlines in the United States decided in the last day to cancel their flights to Hong Kong as well. United and American Airlines will delay their flights to Hong Kong and it is unclear when they will return to a destination considered safe in China, especially in light of the very low numbers of people infected with the virus.

The official reason for delayed flights to the destination is due to a significant drop in the number of passengers to the destination. Alongside this, the proximity and fear of a nearer outbreak of the virus in Hong Kong may also be a consideration for companies. Currently, flights from Israel to Hong Kong of Cathay Pacific and EL AL continue as usual. Other Asian airlines initially changed their flight schedule to their destination, but some decided to return as usual a few days ago due to a change announced by the health authorities in Hong Kong and Macau.
