Have Israel’s researchers found a vaccine to put an end to the global fears surrounding the deadly coronavirus outbreak? Amidst the outbreak of deadly coronavirus, which has no known cure so far, Israel-based MIGAL Galilee Research Institute has said in a statement on its official website that is close to finding a cure for COVID-19.
The Institute has been working on developing a vaccine for avian Infectious Bronchitis Virus (IBV) coronavirus for the past four years in research funded by the Israel Ministry of Science and Technology. IBV is an ailment which affects poultry and the vaccine for IBV was found effective for its intended ailment during the pre-clinical trials at the Volcani Institute. The possibility of the development of a vaccine for coronavirus was a by-product, the institute's statement on MIGAL website has said.
Tests conducted by MIGAL found that the coronavirus affecting the poultry had genetic similarities to that affecting the humans currently and both use the same infection mechanism. The institute has now made certain required genetic modifications to make the vaccine suitable for humans and is working on getting the safety nod to be able to conduct pre-clinical tests on the vaccine. If all goes well, the institute will be able to push the vaccine into production to tackle the coronavirus, which has killed more than 3,000 people so far and affected another 80,000.
On the development, Israel's Minister of Science and Technology Ofir Akunis said that he is confident that there would be rapid progress in this area and soon, the vaccine will be developed to tackle COVID-19. He further directed the ministry's Director-General to fast-track the approval process for the vaccine.

I’ve been hearing:
1) We’re all gonna die.
2) Even if we had a vaccine it would be over a year before it was approved for public use.
These two ideas shouldn’t exist together comfortably, but they sometimes seem to.
Israel has been big the ladt couple of years in the area of R and D.
There have been situations in the past where a vaccine made things worse rather than better. I believe that happened with a vaccine for dengue fever, where variants of the disease caused more severe reinfection in those that had been vaccinated.
So, some testing with animals and volunteers is in order, even if they think they have a good vaccine. That takes a while, unless they decide to gamble and just go ahead.
In the short term, I hope they find an antiviral which mitigates severe cases, even if it doesn’t prevent them. There have been rumors that the Chinese tried some antivirals that work for HIV. And I read there are some trials underway with several hundred patients using Gilead’s Remdesevir. Those are accelerated in comparison to the usual careful pace of development. But they aren’t here yet.
A paper was released a couple weeks ago saying the most likely source of COVID is the Chinese were developing a SARS vaccine and testing it on people.
Yeah, I saw that. Oops, if true.
Not needed. Keep vitamin C levels up and treat those who are very ill with IV-C. Probably recover in a few days?
I’m not interested in being injected with a pile of crap, thanks.
Where are you getting this protocol from and is there scientific documentation that it is effective?
Also, regarding keeping Vitamin C levels up, what is the optimum daily dosage for immune system protection?
12-18 months for human trials after development...unless “emergency measures” or something like that happens.
Another Freeper’s suggestion: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3822140/posts?page=19#19
If Israel does develop a successful vaccine, will Arab countries refuse it?
Tell BDS adherents that they are not eligible to receive this vaccine.
Tell them to load up on Vitamin C and buy a ticket to Italy.
Vaccines are too little too late. What is needed is large quantities of antivirals like remdesivir shipped out quickly to the hotspots.
- * unless noted otherwise, these figures are EOD 03/07.
These numbers include Mainland China and All Others globally
This format allows you to see trends. I'll continue to use it.
Today's figures will not appear here, because we are not at the
end of the day yet, and all other figures are EOD figures.

03/07 106,165 3,977 59,965 63,559 42,606
It's not that easy to spot the changes in daily growth.03/03: 2,223 03/04: 2,265 03/05: 2,962 03/06: 3,801 03/07: 3,977That's a rather prounounced growth rate. These are just the declared cases
The last column there shows the numbers of active cases. You will note how
they were dropping, then started increasing again. Here are the last five days
drop & then growth numbers.
03/03: -494 03/04: -532 03/05: 823 03/06: 1,745 03/07: 1,298Resolved cases are still helping to soften the massive numbers of new cases
We are seeing record breaking day to day large numbers. We had one spell where
the cases were larger for a day or two, but those were special circumstance
numbers. There was a reclassification in China, that saw over 15,000 cases
dumped into the list on one day. The following days was also abnormally high
Other than those two days, we've not see days where we approached 4,000 new
cases per day. As of 19:33 today, we are already at 3,869 cases.
As predicted, the mortality rate that went as low as 5.65% on the 27th, has now
begun to climb again. As of 19:33 it is running at 5.81%, but later tonight that
may be adjusted a bit, up or down. Generally this time of the day it's down
but things are too hectic to predict.
As predicted, the numbers of active cases of COVID-19 outside China, became larger
than the active cases inside China. At 19:03 the numbers of cases outside China
make up 56.99% of all cases globally. At that time there were 44,292 active
cases.
Globally we have held our own with regard to how many cases have been resolved.
The figure stands at 59,802%. I expected to see that recede more. We are still
very close to seeing 60% of all global cases declared resolved.
These numbers address the cases outside of Mainland China.
I will provide the same format for the numbers outside Mainland China.

03/07 25,470 497 2,871 3,368 22,102
As you can see, these numbers can easily double or more every five days. As newYou can study the progression of any category you like.
Lets talk about the United States for a minute. I addressed the issue of the
U. S. catching fire several days ago. There was reason for concern, because two
back to back days saw 46.54 & 45.06 growth. That has dropped back to around
26-28%, but that isn't good either, to be honest. Lets hope things cool off.
The current mortality rate of deceased / deceased + recovered is too high to
take much meaning from. I've seen 14-17% figures, but those are not even in
the same ball park as what the final rate will be.
You can still review them if you access my database. That database has full
figures up until the last report at 19:33 this evening.
There are now 109 nations declaring cases within their borders. 1+
Three nations of the 109 nations or entities outside of Mainland China still
account for over 73% of all active cases outside China at this time. They
are slipping a little, but there is a lot of competition out there. Still
The next tier goes down to the 1,000 - 1,200 level. Those were the EOD
figures for 03/07.
7,134 28.01% South Korea
5,883 22.04% Italy
5,823 23.10% Iran
73.15% of all cases ourside of China...
These are clearly three break-out naitons.
I have a new section that addresses only the cases in the United States.
I have a new metric that explains how many people there are to one case in
each of these entities: Globally, Mainland China, Outside China, and inside
the United States. There is one person in every so many people in each of these entities.
Globally : 175,665 Mainland China: 77,852 Outside China : 308,248 The U. S. A. : 637,838All data below sourced from Johns Hopkins University: LINK
I have been downloading three to five reports per day since 01/27. I have then
worked up numbers that should give a very good representation of numbers that have
been provided to the public via that site.
In my spreadsheet linked below, you'll find global numbers including China. You will
find a separate section addressing just the Outside China figures. Then there is now
also a section with just the United States stats in there. There are also a lot of
special stats broken out for you to browse. The history of 109 nations and their
from day one of their reporting.
You're welcome to it.
COVID-19 Spreadsheet using JHU data
I'd like to apologize to those who may have been accessing my XLS version.
Due to the numbers of nations I am now tracking, the XLS version cannot support
the width of the file I have created. I can no longer provide it without major work.
If anyone wants that version, let me know and I'll see what I can do.
there’s a dozen vaccines already ... that part is fully automated ... the part that takes time is the testing methodologies to prove human safety and efficacy ... that takes up to 18 months and so far there’s no way to shorten the time-frame ...
