Do you know I don't even know anything about this country Mongolia?

You don't mean it!! So you never heard about Genghis Khan, the Mongolian Horde

Pope Francis has cancelled a planned Mass in Rome with other clergy after suffering a 'slight illness'. There was no word from the Vatican about the nature of his illness, but the pope was seen coughing and blowing his nose during the Ash Wednesday Mass. The previous day he had kissed heads and touched faces as he met with crowds in St Peter's Square, saying he had solidarity with those suffering from coronavirus. Italy is currently in the grips of a coronavirus outbreak that has seen towns in the north placed on lockdown and travellers from the region spread the infection to previously unaffected areas of Europe.

The capital, Rome, had three cases, but all three infected patients were cured, officials said. Coronavirus is believed to have originated in a market selling wildlife in the Chinese city of Wuhan late last year. It causes respiratory symptoms similar to a cold or flu and like other respiratory infections, it spreads between people in droplets from coughs and sneezes.

Officials expect the drug to be available within 90 days after it has been tested
Science and Technology Minister Ofir Akunis called it an 'exciting breakthrough'
Researchers had been working on a vaccine against a virus found in poultry
They now say if they can 'adjust the system' from the poultry coronavirus to the human one they will have 'in a few weeks a vaccine to prevent coronavirus'

Scientists in Israel say they are just weeks away from developing an oral vaccine which will beat coronavirus.

Officials in the country expect the drug to be available within 90 days after it has completed the necessary testing.

Science and Technology Minister Ofir Akunis said: 'Congratulations to MIGAL [The Galilee Research Institute] on this exciting breakthrough.

'I am confident there will be further rapid progress, enabling us to provide a needed response to the grave global COVID-19 threat.'

Scientists at MIGAL confirmed they have been working on a vaccine against infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) found in poultry.

It has been tested at the Veterinary Institute where its said to have been proven effective.
The first human clinical trials of an antiviral treatment for the coronavirus that's sickened more than 80,000 people worldwide are set to begin in Nebraska, US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Alex Azar said Tuesday.

Meanwhile, the drugmaker, Moderna, announced its candidate coronavirus vaccine has been shipped to the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to begin phase 1 clinical trials in humans.

Chinese state media had reported scientists developed an oral vaccine for the new coronavirus using baker's yeast.
A professor in charge of the project had reportedly taken four doses of the drug without having any side effects. However, the expert said the product was still 'far from' being sold on the market because it needed to pass animal tests and clinical trials.

Multiple research teams have begun developing vaccines for the disease since an outbreak emerged in the Chinese city of Wuhan in Hubei Province late last year.

Last month, a Russian diplomatic mission in China said that Russia and China were working to develop a vaccine and that Beijing had handed over the genome of the virus to Moscow.

Johnson & Johnson is one of the drugmakers that have begun work on developing a vaccine for the coronavirus.

Jack Ma, China's richest man, donated $14million to help scientists develop anti-coronavirus inoculations.

While the United States pledged $2.5 billion to fight the disease, with more than $1 billion going towards developing a vaccine.

Scientists at Greffex, a Houston, Texas-based genetic engineering company, claim they've created a coronavirus vaccine.

The company told the Houston Business Journal that it had completed development of the vaccine and it is ready for animal testing and review by US regulators.

It comes after UK scientists announced they'd begun testing their shot, and researchers at the University of Texas at Austin announced they'd made compound they believe can serve as a vaccine.

Globally, the coronavirus epidemic has killed at least 2,705 people, infected more than 80,340 and spread to at least two dozen countries.
