Some experts have been speculating since the start of coronavirral disease tha it was developed in the laboratory. It has all the characteristics of biological organisms but more wise than other crearures. It can mutate easily, change forms, also symptoms as quick as it feels alarming situation. Would you believe that a story was published in Jasoosi Digest written by Robina Rasheed in March 2020 magazine and it is about an organisms that was created in lab by the enemies of humanity who wanted to kill black and colored peaple making space for whites. The Magazines usually is received on book stalls in first week of the month. It means the story was written in February when a few people knew about coronavirus. Its title is Pandemic weapon. Astonishingly it looks like the corona as its symptomes resemble corona. Though a Medical Docotor identifies this creature but nobody belived and he as well as his wife both die of the virus. At last enemies of humanity were killed in a blsdt by a detective the heroe of the story. The Blogger is also of the view that no vaccine or medicine will be effective against this disease. It can save itself due to some code. I think the scientist or expert has been killed, kidnapped and his formula has been stolen. The organism was created to destroy two big world powers.Now only the developer can stop it by decoding its formuls. Though scientists all over the word are busy in making vaccine. May all give them success to save the human being.May My Allah save the humanity.

Prince Charles Has Tested Positive Foe Virus
Prince Charles, the 71-year-old heir to the British throne, has tested positive for coronavirus but is in good health and is now self isolating in Scotland.
Charles, eldest son of Queen Elizabeth, is displaying what Clarence House said were mild symptoms but remains in good health and has been working from his home on the Balmoral Estate in Scotland. His wife, Camilla, tested negative.
“The Prince of Wales has tested positive for coronavirus,” Clarence House said. “He has been displaying mild symptoms but otherwise remains in good health and has been working from home throughout the last few days as usual.”
“The Duchess of Cornwall has also been tested but does not have the virus,” Clarence House said.
A royal source said the Prince of Wales was tested on Monday and got the results on Tuesday. Charles has spoken to both Queen Elizabeth and his children.
He last saw the 93-year-old monarch on the morning of March 12 following an investiture, before the earliest time he would have been infectious.
“Her Majesty The Queen remains in good health,” Buckingham Palace said. “The Queen last saw The Prince of Wales briefly after the investiture on the morning of 12th March and is following all the appropriate advice with regard to her welfare.”
A royal source said that the earliest Charles would have been infectious was March 13.
Queen Elizabeth left London for Windsor Castle on March 19. She is with her 98-year-old husband, Philip.
“It is not possible to ascertain from whom the Prince caught the virus owing to the high number of engagements he carried out in his public role during recent weeks,” Clarence House said.

Poor People In India Fear For Future As Modi Imposeses Virus Lockdown
Shaikh Bahaduresha, 31, lived on Mumbai's streets for two months last year, unable to make ends meet on his meagre taxi-driving profits of roughly $5 a day. After he got married in December, his wife put some money towards renting a small apartment, and they moved in together.
But with much of India now under lockdown to fight the coronavirus, Bahaduresha's newfound stability could come crashing down. He has no more taxi customers, which means he cannot afford food beyond rice and lentils, and will not be able to pay his rent, due on Tuesday.

"I have no savings. My wife and I will be on the street again," said Bahaduresha as he waited in vain next to shuttered stores for a cab owner who he said owed him a deposit. "The US is a VIP country, you can block it for a month and it's okay, but in India you have to take care of the poor."
Prime Minister Narendra Modi has urged India's 1.3 billion people to stay home and the majority of the country is under lockdown. As of Monday, India had reported 471 cases of the virus and nine deaths.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi has urged India's 1.3 billion people to stay home and the majority of the country is under lockdown. As of Monday, India had reported 471 cases of the virus and nine deaths.
A dozen Indians living in Mumbai's sprawling Dharavi slum said they supported the clampdown, but wanted government support. The issue highlights how difficult it is for countries to tackle the virus without destroying livelihoods - a challenge that is especially acute in developing nations with significant populations living hand-to-mouth.
"So far, the prime minister's intervention has put the onus of responsibility on citizens ... but it has fallen short of explaining clearly what the state is going to do," said Gilles Verniers, a political science professor at Ashoka University near New Delhi
"There is nothing that looks like a national plan on the social front." The prime minister's office did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Some markets near the slum were closed and vendors still selling vegetables on the pavement said their distributors were no longer supplying them.
Dharavi residents said they were stretching out meals and forgoing pricier foods such as mutton. Khatun, a frail 70-year-old, wept on her bed as she recounted that her son, who does odd painting jobs, was out of work. Ajay Kewat, 21, said his family only had provisions for a few more days: "I'm afraid that after a week, there won't be food."

Scientists In Karachi May Have Identified Compounds That Inhibit Growth Of Virus In Host Cells
While scientists across the globe race to develop drugs and vaccines to combat the COVID-19 outbreak that has infected over 275,000 people in at least 177 countries, killing more than 11,000 patients, biologists in Karachi were sent packing after the Sindh government announced the closure of all educational institutions across the province.
As part of this, the International Centre for Chemical and Biological Sciences (ICCBS) – a world-renowned scientific research institute located in the University of Karachi – was also temporarily shut down, due to which the ongoing research on medicines for the novel coronavirus had to be suspended.
The drug preparation process was started in early March, with experiments being conducted at the Dr Panjwani Centre for Molecular Medicine and Drug Research, a subsidiary of the ICCBS.
Stalled progress
Pakistani scientists involved in the preparation of the medicine reportedly made a breakthrough during the initial stages of the research as they identified nine compounds which could be effective in inhibiting the growth of the virus in the host cell. The research was being carried out by Dr Atia-tul-Wahab and her team under the supervision of the ICCBS director, Dr Iqbal Choudhary.
Per sources, even though the university was initially closed upon the orders of the government, scientists at the ICCBS continued their activities in the labs as their research was making progress. However, complaints began to surface on social media regarding the non-closure of the research centre, after which authorities ordered the centre to halt all research-related activities and sent the researchers home.
Speaking to The Express Tribune, Dr Choudhary confirmed that all research, including experiments for the preparation of coronavirus vaccine, had been stalled.
“Some teachers secretly made a video of scientists entering and leaving the institute despite a lockdown,” he said. “Subsequently, they uploaded the video on social media, giving the impression that scientists were violating the government’s orders. Under such circumstances, it became very difficult for us to carry on with the experiments and administer the institute, because of which we were compelled to suspend all research activities.”
It is worth noting that unlike in Pakistan, research activities for the preparation of coronavirus medicine and vaccine in the two countries most affected by the outbreak were not halted for a single day, even when there was a complete lockdown.
Hopes still high
Even though it was disappointing for ICCBS scientists to suspend their research activities just when their efforts started to bear fruit, they are primed to resume the task at hand as soon as possible.
“During the initial stage of our research, we examined a sample of COVID-19 through computer simulation,” Dr Atia-tul-Wahab revealed. “Through this process, nine compounds have been identified that can inhibit or break the host cell of the coronavirus.”
She explained that one of the compounds turned out to be very effective in inhibiting the replication of the virus, and was considered as the lead molecule in the preparation of a potential preventative vaccine.
Meanwhile, Dr Choudhary said that once the university is allowed to reopen, the centre will immediately restart its research activities.
“The virus is not a living thing, but when it enters the human body, it multiplies by possessing the host cell and causes infections,” he explained. “Our scientists are working to inhibit the function of the protein of the virus so that cell replication can be halted in the host cell.”
Dr Choudhary added that scientists were working on identifying the protein of the virus. Once identified, the virus would be cloned to study its intracellular replication rates.
“After carrying out other necessary scientific steps, clinical trials will begin and the created vaccine will first be tested on animals and later on humans,” he said. “We are hoping for the best.”
