Egypt got mysteries; it is an established fact.
Yet unfortunately, the world is focusing on Egypt’s old mysteries only and is ignoring its modern mysteries for some mysterious reason for real.
We got real interesting mysteries that can baffle you enough to know that those modern Egyptians are the true descendants of those ancient Egyptians, and they continue to create mysteries.
Like for instance those days we got two mysteries in one week: The mystery of the Covid-19 vaccine packages dumped in some canal in Upper Egypt and the mystery of the White Microbus that fell from a bridge and vanished into the Nile with no trace whatsoever.
Let’s start with the first mystery: Why were there thousands of Covid-19 vaccine packages in some canal in Upper Egypt !??
Last Thursday, citizens of a village called Abshaq near Bani Mazar town in Minya governorate found discarded packages of Chinese Sinopharm Covid-19 vaccine in a water canal.

In no time, photos and videos showing the discarded vaccine packages went viral on social media creating an uproar and soon the Public Prosecution announced that it was investigating the incident.
On Sunday, the Public Prosecution issued a statement announcing more details in the cases after its initial investigation.
On Friday, Bahraini security forces arrested at least 30 Bahraini protesters as a group of Bahrainis organized a protest against the Normalization with Israel.
The protests started right after Friday prayers. The security forces dispersed the protest while it was on its way to the Israeli embassy in Manama.

It is the time for those monthly Covid-19 posts in Egyptian Chronicles and believe I will not be sad when I stop writing them inshallah.
This time it is a quick look into official Covid-19 numbers in Egypt after 20 months since its arrival to the country in February 2020.

The usual disclaimer: According to Minister of Health Hala Zayed in early January, the official numbers of cases represent between 10%-15% of the real number of cases worldwide Egypt included.
Those official numbers represent the patients who enter the ICUs in designated coronavirus isolation public hospitals in the country in critical condition according to official statements, not the mild cases of coronavirus or those who receive treatment at home.
Here is the graph, it is interactive so you can click on it and click on the tabs to compare between 2020 and 2021.
Happy October war anniversary to all Egyptians and Arabs.
For this year, I stumbled upon this rare short documentary produced by Egyptian TV in December 1973. ‘Thanks to journalist and author Omar Taher on Twitter’
It is called “Glorious October” and it featured the exhibit the government organized in Cairo to show the Israeli prizes of war to the public”
That big exhibit was held in the place of Cairo Opera House in Zamalek or as it was used to know then “The Fairs land”.
The epic moment in that short 12:47 documentary is when an injured soldier who lost his leg danced on late Mohamed Noah’s popular patriotic song “Chiddi Hilek ya bala” or “be strong my country” which was a hit then.
This is the time of our monthly post about the coronavirus pandemic and its official numbers in graphs in Egypt.
This is the second September to pass in Egypt during the Covid-19 pandemic, unfortunately.
Officially, Egypt entered the fourth wave of Coronavirus in September thus the numbers of the daily cases but there is good news: The rates of vaccination began to accelerate compared to past months.

Currently, Egypt is having its coronavirus fourth wave moment and according to officials, we are going to see it peak in the upcoming three weeks.
Nevertheless, the Egyptian government is trying to intensify its efforts to accelerate the vaccination process, especially it has received millions of doses donated by other foreign countries like the United States. It is expected though as the academic year will start
The government set a goal to vaccinate 40 million Egyptians by the end of 2021. It also set a goal to vaccinate also all university students and staff before the academic year would kick off on 9 October.
We will see if it reaches that goal or not.
Anyhow Please stay safe, keep your social distance and get vaccinated as soon as possible.
