World Bank President David Malpas has seen that as many as 60 million people around the world may find themselves in extreme poverty due to the coronavirus.
"Our estimate is that up to 60 million people will find themselves driven to absolute poverty, which will eliminate all progress made to eradicate poverty in the past three years," Malpas said in a conference call. Our expectations show deep recession.
The international financial official pointed out that the World Bank is trying not to stand by, by granting loans to 100 countries.
Malpas revealed that the bank pledged 160 million dollars in loans until mid-2021
. At the same time, he indicated that the World Bank's efforts are not enough, calling on the creditor countries to join the G20 initiative, which announced a moratorium on the debt repayment of a number of developing countries. End 29 / s

A catastrophic failure "... British newspaper reveals" setback "of the Oxford vaccine against Corona

Follow-up - Mawazine News.
The medical setbacks against the emerging coronavirus, which causes Covid 19, have invaded the world, leaving more than 323,000 deaths and nearly 5 million infections.
British media said that the "Oxford vaccine", on which the world had pinned great hopes, after the British government supported it with nearly $ 100 million, proved a complete failure.
And the newspaper "Daily Mail" revealed that the last vaccine experiments on rhesus monkeys, all six monkeys that were given the vaccine were infected with the Corona virus.
Dr. William Hasseltin, a former professor at Harvard Medical School, revealed that the monkeys who received the vaccine had the same amount of virus in their noses, like the three monkeys are not immunized in the experiment.
This indicated that the treatment, which had been expected to produce 100 million doses by next September, may not stop the spread of the Covid 19 epidemic, Hasseltin added.
Initial reports indicated last week that the vaccine provided immunity "against" the virus, stopped it from deepening into the lungs, and becoming fatal.
The vaccine experiments, officially known as "Shadukush One Covid 19", began on April 24, to see if it could effectively protect healthy people from the Coronavirus.
A medical relapse
This is the latest medical relapse of hopes for recovery from the deadly virus. In this regard, a professor at Imperial College London, where researchers are also studying a possible vaccine, warned earlier on Tuesday that it is unlikely that an effective vaccine will be ready. Year.
He said that people should not have a "false expectation" that the treatment will be ready soon, even though the British government has revealed that they hope to get 30 million doses of vaccine for the UK by September.
Speaking of the Oxford vaccine, Dr. Hasseltin said on Forbes: "All the vaccinated monkeys treated with the Oxford vaccine became infected when they were treated with the Oxford vaccine. There was no difference in the amount of viral RNA that was discovered from (nasal secretions), In the zygote monkeys compared to the unvaccinated animals. This means that all the zygotes were infected. "
Vaccine raises anxiety,
Professor of Molecular Biology at the University of Nottingham, John Paul, warned that "the amount of the virus's genome detected in vaccinated and unvaccinated monkeys is the same and this is cause for concern."
Eleanor Reilly, professor of immunology and infectious diseases at the University of Edinburgh, said the number of antibodies produced was "insufficient" to prevent infection and eliminate a virus.
"If similar results are obtained in humans, the vaccine will likely provide partial protection against disease in the recipient, but it is unlikely to reduce transmission in the wider community," she added.
Vaccine restrictions were revealed when the results of the full trial were published last week. Three of the six vaccinated monkeys also showed a rate of respiration faster than normal after being infected, making them clinically ill. This was also seen in two monkeys that did not get the vaccine.
"It is crystal clear that the vaccine did not provide a strong immunity against the virus, which is the gold standard for any vaccine," added Dr. Hasseltini.

Wrong acclaim
The vaccine entered its first human clinical trial last month. The researchers tested up to 1102 participants across multiple laboratories in Oxford, Southampton, London and Bristol, and the volunteers were randomly selected, and were given either a real dose of the experimental vaccine or the meningitis vaccine.

A smaller group of 10 volunteers will receive two doses of the candidate vaccine with a difference of 4 weeks, knowing that the volunteers are between 18 and 55 years old, and that they should have no infection with the Corona virus.
The government announced an additional £ 65.5m investment in the Oxford vaccine trials on Monday.
British Business Secretary Alok Sharma said the government hopes to be in a position to start implementing a mass vaccination program this fall.
Mr. Sharma praised the Oxford vaccine and said: “The speed with which the University of Oxford designed and organized these complex experiences is truly unprecedented.” End 29 / A 43

India has the highest rate of coronavirus infection

 India has the highest rate of coronavirus infection

 Today, 11:13

India has had the highest incidence of the new coronavirus since the outbreak of the Covid-19 epidemic began in the country.

India announced that the number of new coronavirus infections in the country rose by 5,611 infections, bringing the total number of infections to 106,750, according to our correspondent.

India also announced that 140 deaths were recorded within 24 hours, and the Indian Ministry of Health said the number of deaths had increased to 3,303.

Meanwhile, Indian sources stated that the return of hundreds of thousands of migrant workers from the cities of Mumbai and New Delhi, two of the areas affected by the Corona virus, caused a high number of infections in the states of Rajasthan, Karnataka, Bihar and Uttar Pradesh.

On the other hand, and exacerbated the conditions under some form of closure due to the spread of the Covid-19 epidemic, the Indian authorities evacuated hundreds of thousands of coastal and low areas of West Bengal state in preparation for Hurricane Imvan, which will hit the region and also reaches the coasts of Odisha and coastal areas of Bangladesh. .

The authorities put evacuees from 3 coastal directorates into shelters and schools, and also pushed dozens of relief and rescue teams into the area.

The Indian meteorological office predicted that the hurricane, which is one of the strongest typhoons in the region, would reach wind speeds between 155 and 165 kilometers per hour.

The Indian Meteorological Department also expected that the hurricane, when it reaches the coasts later in the day, Wednesday, will lead to an increase in seawater between

3-5 meters.
