A good news hopefully comfort the anxiety.

 

The joint vaccine development of a Chinese biotech company and the army made a breakthrough today. They received the permit to conduct clinical trials and begin to publicly recruit volunteers. Also they claimed ready for mass production.

 

The company is CanSino Biologists which is a Hong Kong listed company. It’s supposed to publish any breakthrough made to the public.

A US company began trials yesterday as well. I believe the Israelis are in the trial phase as well.

Apparently some experts suggest that coronavirus and ibuprofen don't mix well.

Where do you guys get all those face masks? Here I'm glad the general public isn't wearing them, because there's a massive shortage and especially healthcare workers need them much more than the average person

Yeah I’ve been a fan of Slovakia’s response, but this was the first ill-planned move they’ve made.

Peoples were asked to do them themselves. If you do not have it or can not produce it by yourself you are allowed to cover your mouth and face with scarf or kerchief.

Nobody can produce a functioning mask by themselves, or does everyone have professional mask factories?  

 

Anyway, saw another mask yesterday. They're still so rare here I can easily count them (three, so far)

There is almost complete mask and disinfectants shortage here -.- I was very lucky to by 1 L of 96% ethanol in the store that sells wall paints and similar stuff.

World Champion Hassan Yazdani’s father has been tested positive for Coronavirus as the pandemic continues to play havoc globally including Iran. Hossein Yazdani has been quarantined for a few days after he was diagnosed positive for the deadly virus. Hossein is now recovering well and will be discharged from the hospital in the coming days.

Since Hasan has been living with his father at his Juybar, Mazandaran Province, reports suggest that the 2016 Rio Olympic gold medallist might also be infected with COVID-19. An official update on Hassan’s health, however, is yet to be announced.

The 74kg Men’s Freestyle World No.1 has been living with his father ever since Iran Wrestling Federation had cancelled its national camp 

 

 

big blow for the greatest

 

yeah that was a sad news but he is fine himself.

 

actually apparently this is not "new", nobody just knew that until yesterday. he confirmed it today but saying "I'm fine, just stay at home and wash your hands" he is very popular here but still I'm quite sure nobody listens to that "stay at home" advise

 

most of our top wrestlers come from Northern provinces (next to Caspian Sea) which is now hit badly by coronavirus. (worse than any other place in the country, only after Qom) that was a terrible idea sending them "home"

You will not be allowed to enter any place without covering your mouth and nose in Slovakia.

I'm yet to see one. Some people are frustrated that the pharmacies don't have any on stock, even though it is being made very clear that it really doesn't do much to help us.
