🇸🇦 The senior Saudi prince who is governor of Riyadh is in intensive care with the coronavirus. Several dozen other members of the royal family have been sickened as well. And doctors at the elite hospital that treats Al-Saud clan members are preparing as many as 500 beds for an expected influx of other royals and those closest to them, according to an internal “high alert” sent out by hospital officials.

“Directives are to be ready for V.I.P.s from around the country,” the operators of the elite facility, the King Faisal Specialist Hospital, wrote in the alert, sent electronically Tuesday night to senior doctors. A copy was obtained by The New York Times.

“We don’t know how many cases we will get but high alert,” the message stated, instructing that “all chronic patients to be moved out ASAP" @COVID19Up @coronavirusinfo SOURCE


🇮🇱 A story from Israel: A group of 20 hilltop youth settlers who were in contact with a known corona patient and refused to enter a quarantine facility in Jerusalem. As they were being driven to another location in the south, they rioted in the police bus and broke the windows of the bus.

According to police, they were returned to Jerusalem and another isolation place is being found for them. carmel dangor says they may be the reason why the head of the IDF’s Central Command, Maj.-Gen. Nadav Padan is in self-isolation.

However later on she says the youths managed to escape and were caught shortly after by the police.

After the police gave up, the IDF set up a quarantine facility for the hilltop youth in tents and have provided them with food and cots to sleep on. @coronavirusinfo

🇮🇷🇨🇳 HUGE STORY:

There was a war by words between spokesman of Iran’s Health Ministry Dr Jahanpur and China's ambassador to Iran Amb Chang Hua after the former questioned China’s Coronavirus figures as “a bitter joke”, adding “you must think twice when China says tamed disease in 2 months”

Ambassador Chang Hua answered that Jahanpour better read figures carefully before drawing conclusion and then in Farsi advised the spokesman to respect facts and great efforts of Chinese people. Jahanpour answered that Iran trusts finding of its own medical experts more.

With the continuation of the dispute, HM’s Spokesman Jahanpour backed down & appreciated China for its medial support by tweeting Iranians never forget nations and governments that stood by them at this global pandemic. Iran.

But it wasn’t the end of the saga as member of Health Ministry’s infectious diseases cmte. Minou Mohraz also questioned China’s statistics & reports on Coronavirus. Mohraz says either Coronavirus has had a genetic mutation or China didn’t tell the truth about COVID-19.

Dr. Mohraz who is famous for being an outspoken person, states “we can neither count on China’s statistics about COVID-19 nor accept that it only spread in Wuhan. It seems to be more dangerous & contagious than what reported by China”. @COVID19Up @coronavirusinfo

🇺🇸 News: US government has requested 100,000 body bags. Pentagon will draw some initially from stockpile of 50,000 it maintains, and is looking into buying more, sources tell A Capaccio. Somber preparation as Trump officials project as many as 200k Americans may die of coronavirus.

FEMA hasn’t given a specific delivery date request for the 100,000 bodybags, but the agency wants them as soon as they’re ready, A Capaccio reports in the latest depressing news story amid the coronavirus outbreak. @coronavirusinfo @COVID19Up SOURCE

🇺🇸 NEW: Kushner has set up his own team outside of the official coronavirus task force overseen by Pence made up of gov allies and private industry reps that some have dubbed a "shadow task force".

“Some government officials have become increasingly confused as they have received emails from private industry employees on Kushner’s team and have been on conference calls with them, unsure what their exact role is in the government response”. @COVID19Up


South Korea Discovers Main Carrier Group:

South Korean researchers have discovered the 20-29 age group are the primary carriers of COVID-19. Due to their age, they may not show obvious symptoms and are thus dangerous carriers who silently infect the communities they frequent.

Schools and universities must be closed in order to stop this demographic from continuing the spread of the virus.

Social distancing is paramount.

Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu asked several days ago his Indian counterpart @narendramodi for assistance in countering the Corona Virus crisis 🇮🇱🇮🇳.

Netanyahu asked Modi to give a special exemption for the export of N95 face masks for medical teams and raw material for the Israelis pharmaceutical industry.

Why it matters? The Indian government ordered lately a ban on exports of raw material for the pharmaceutical industry and a ban on exports of face masks and other protective gear.

India is the biggest exporter of raw material for pharmaceuticals and the Israeli industry is dependent of imports from India. The ban could have created a shortage of medicine in Israel. India also has the biggest factory for face masks in the world.

Due to shortage in N95 face masks in Israel the Israeli embassy in Delhi asked Indian officials to give an exemption for exports to Israel. The issue came up in a phone call between Netanyahu and Modi several days ago.

Israeli officials told me Modi approved Netanyahu’s request for the export of raw material for pharmaceuticals. The Indian government also approved the Israeli request for face masks but less masks than Israel requested.
