[ Editor’s Note: This is good news if it can get through the WHO process to be able to be marketed internationally. But then the “Sanctionistas” in the US could step in and say anyone that buys it will be sanctioned by the US.
The US support for regime change proxy terrorism has been killing innocent people every day with no river of tears cried in the US.
The media, entire Congress, and vet orgs have all rolled over, even on the childishly simple things to catch, like the White Helmets scam and the fake gas attacks. These are the same people who got over 9-11 like it was just a bump in the road.
The virus scourge will turn everyone inward to look after their own ship of state, and I can hardly blame them.
But that said, it is an election here and a lot of angry people will be going to the polls or mailing in ballots. We can expect a high turnout … Jim W. Dean ]

An Iranian scientist claims that a drug has been produced in Iran by using stem cells in order to treat the deadly new coronavirus.
Iranian stem cell scientist Dr. Masoud Soleimani, who has been recently released after over one year of imprisonment in the United States, has said that many doctors have expressed their satisfaction with the impact of the drug on the treatment of patients with coronavirus, Fars news said in a Twitter post on Saturday.
“This drug can treat coronavirus-affected patients within a period of 3-6 days in three phases,” he said.
There are numerous reports about potential treatments for COVID-19, including Japanese conglomerate Fujifilm — most famous for its film and instant cameras — who promotes a drug called Avigan, also known as favipiravir, and the use of common anti-malaria drug hydroxychloroquine that is advised by US President Donald Trump. But, according to the World Health Organization, there is no specific medicine to prevent or treat coronavirus disease (COVID-19) yet.
The WHO says health officials are testing four of the most promising drugs to fight COVID-19, including malaria medications chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine, an antiviral compound called Remdesivir, a combination of HIV drugs Lopinavir and Ritonavir and a combination of those drugs plus interferon-beta.
There are no proven therapies to treat COVID-19 but there are a number of clinical trials that are ongoing, Dr. Maria Van Kerkhove, head of WHO’s emerging diseases and zoonosis unit, told reporters on Friday. “It’s important that these medications are evaluated appropriately so we know what works and that we have the right data to support what works.”
Kianoush Jahanpour, the head of public relations and information center of the Iranian Ministry of Health, said on Saturday that 35,408 individuals have been confirmed to be infected with the disease, 2,517 of whom have lost their lives. As many as 11,679 individuals have also recovered from the virus.
“The condition of 3,026 of those hospitalized is critical in one way or another,” he said, adding that 57 million Iranians had been screened for the virus.
