Pfizer begins clinical trials of COVID-19 vaccine in US

Another possible vaccine is set to be ready later this year.

According to Pfizer, a major American pharmaceutical corporation, their coronavirus vaccine should be ready by September or October this year.

On Tuesday, Pfizer Chief Executive Officer Albert Bourla said that a coronavirus vaccine for emergency use could be ready by the autumn and for broader roll out by the end of 2020.

They have started testing the vaccine in Germany, on humans, with BioNTech. They have high hopes to also begin testing in America.

The development of vaccines could take months, even years, but the researchers are hurtling towards human trials. Because the virus is not mutating and is similar to those in the past, they are not really having that much of a hard time.

Pfizer has started mass manufacturing while trials are underway. They are even aiming for hundred of millions of doses to be ready for the end of the year.

While the world is still suffering heavily from this pandemic, we could help in our own little ways. By staying at home and practicing proper hygiene, we could help flatten the curve. If not today, in the days or weeks to come.

Researchers are developing a face mask that detects coronavirus

If we’re experiencing scarcity for surgical masks, wait until the mask which can detect virus comes out in the market.

For the past six years, sensors that can detect viruses are being developed by the bioengineers at MIT and Hardvard. These viruses include ebola, and now, coronavirus.

The team has been trying to embed sensors inside the face masks. These sensors will light up when an infected person breathes, coughs, even sneezes with the mask on. Dope, right?

MIT researcher Jim Collins has been thinking of pandemics, even before the emergence of coronavirus.

His bioengineering laboratory at MIT has begun developing sensors to detect Ebola in 2014. The team from MIT and Harvard published their first research in 2016.

With the new coronavirus, they are also adjusting their tools to identify the aforementioned. Should this succeed, it could address flaws from other screening methods.

“As we open up our transit system, you could envision it being used in airports as we go through security, as we wait to get on a plane,”

– Jim Collins told Business Insider

“You or I could use it on the way to and from work. Hospitals could use it for patients as they come in or wait in the waiting room as a pre-screen of who’s infected,”

These masks could help doctors diagnose whether or not the patient they’re attending to is positive, or otherwise, even without sending samples to a laboratory. Saves so much time.

However, this virus-identifying technology has already been proven in 2018. The lab’s sensors could already detect SARS, measles, influenza, hepatitis C, West Nile, and other viruses.

“We initially did this on paper to create inexpensive paper-based diagnostics,” Collins said. “We’ve shown it can work on plastic, quartz, as well as cloth.”

Let’s just hope these masks will turn out to be doing its job, perfectly. That way, we could at the very least see from our eyes, through a light, our enemies.

It’s about time we fuel our body with Vitamin C.

Free ‘lemonsito’ or calamansi seedlings will be given by the Cebu Provincial Government to those who are interested from the province of Cebu.

Those who wish to avail of these free seedlings may ask their respective municipal city or city agriculturist for the grafted planting materials.

On May 13, Governor Gwendolyn Garcia, in her livestream report, encouraged the lemonsito growers of every barangay to plant more so the government can buy from them.

“This is an economic opportunity for our barangays. Paminaw mo mga kapitan kay tagaan nato’g negosyo inyong mga barangay. Mananum mo, nya kami mopalit. Additional income ni ninyo. Amo nang paliton aron i-apud-apod sa kabalayan,”

– Cebu Governor Gwen Garcia

Apart from the lemoncito, she has also encouraged the people to plant turmeric (a type of ginger).

Avatar The Last Airbender Netflix-3

I can still vividly remember how I got so excited upon knowing that Avatar: The Last Airbender is now available on Netflix since last week.

Writing this makes me so eager to type, but I know that I needed to hold my horses and slow down, at least a bit. This anime’s big debut on Netflix is definitely making waves even before it is available.

The series is centered around the journey of 12-year-old Aang, the Avatar and last survivor of his nation, the Air Nomads, along with his friends Sokka, Katara, and later on Toph, as they strive to end the Fire Nation’s war against the other nations of the world. It also follows the story of Zuko—the exiled prince of the Fire Nation seeking to restore his lost honor by capturing Aang, accompanied by his wise uncle Iroh—and later that of his ambitious sister Azula.

If you’re a big fan of anime, or just starting to love anime, you better watch this original. If you’re also too bored during this lockdown, this is definitely a good way to spice up your boring life during quarantine.

So, if you have nothing to do today, tonight, even tomorrow, start streaming Avatar: The Last Air Bender on Netflix. It will definitely entertain you during this time of year.

netflix sweet tooth robert downey jr-2

Who says only local celebrities can make a buzz after moving from one network to the other?

Because just as we thought that Robert Downey Jr. is glued and stuck like a steel (yes, like Ironman) in Marvel, surprised us after jumping to DC Comics.

Because he has been the centerpiece of the Marcel Cinematic Universe since 2008, being relieved from his Ironman duties is definitely something worth talking about.

On his social media account, Downey announced that together with his wife, they will be doing the upcoming Netflix show, Sweet Tooth.

Sweet Tooth is based on the DC Comics series by Jeff Lemire in 2009 until 2013. The story was about a 9-year-old boy named Gus. Gus is a new breed of human/animal hybrid living in a post-apocalyptic world.

However, I’m sorry to burst your bubble but, this is all that we’ve got for now because everything is still unannounced. Just keep yourselves posted.

On May 16, the Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Disease (IATF-MEID) released a new resolution, placing high-risks areas in the Philippines — citing Cebu City and Mandaue City — under enhanced community quarantine (ECQ) until May 31, 2020.

Cebu City Mayor Edgar Labella has welcomed the IATF’s resolution and revoked the Executive Order (EO) 77 on Modified ECQ issued last night. This means, all the policies and ordinances stated in the current E.O. will remain in effect.

Mandaue City also said on a Facebook post that they “will continue providing relief packs to every household thru the barangays. Households/sitios under lockdown will still receive stay at home kits.”

Meanwhile, the Cebu Province and Lapu-Lapu City will transition from ECQ to general community quarantine (GCQ). Cebu Governor Gwen Garcia announced on May 15 that Cebu Province will start shifting to GCQ on May 20, 2020.
