The routine will return sooner or later, but it will be a new routine than the one we are used to until March 2020. This is according to an ongoing survey of the people of Great Britain, who at first were optimistic and thought that the epidemic would end within a year, but today they realize that the target keeps moving

The main concern is the weakening of the response of the vaccines to the Omicron variant is due to the appearance of 32 mutations in the spike protein. To reduce the risks of creating new dangerous variants, the researchers suggest increasing the production of vaccines and their coverage mainly in developing countries

Comprehensive medical research reveals that an old drug called "Colchicine" improves the treatment of severe corona disease and may even cut the death rate in half. "This is a particularly surprising result, because it is an ancient and well-known drug in the treatment of completely different inflammatory diseases."

"Corona patients are at a threefold increased risk of having a stroke or a heart attack, for example. All the evidence shows that the virus severely damages the blood vessels or the endothelial cells that line the blood vessels. However, until now the entire virus has been treated as one piece. We wanted to find out which proteins within the virus are responsible for this damage," explains Prof. Ben Maoz from Tel Aviv University

A team of researchers discovered that in the first eight months of the epidemic, values of concern for others and caring are on a downward trend. On the other hand, the need for security, stability and tradition is on the rise. The researchers state following the findings of the study that "if these are the findings obtained in Australia, we have good reason to think that there will be significant changes in Israel as well"

A blood test that quantifies the concentration of the ACE2 protein, the cellular protein that allows the penetration of the corona viruses into the cells, as well as its segments, which are formed as a result of a reaction with the virus, could be a simple and effective method for monitoring the corona disease

This is according to a study by researchers from the Ministry of Health and the universities and hospitals in Israel that examined data on over one million Israelis aged sixty and over who were vaccinated with two vaccines at most in March 2021. The comparison was between those who received only the two original vaccine injections and those who also received the third vaccine

A new study carried out by researchers from the Hebrew University on two districts with the highest air pollution in Israel, Gush Dan and Haifa, while taking meteorological conditions into account, reveals for the first time the effect of a significant reduction in economic activity on the quality of the environment. The research findings revealed that the maximum relative contribution of the closure to the total change in pollutants was up to 26%, and together with the meteorological conditions up to 47%

The study also dealt with the issue of the side effects of the vaccine - there is indeed a rate of 1-5 vaccinees who develop pericarditis out of every 100 vaccinees, but the risk of this in those who are sick with the disease itself is double, not to mention other side effects of the disease that were not found in the vaccine study

Ariel Karlinski from the Hebrew University, one of the initiators of a research work on global mortality data from the virus, clarifies: "In Iran we know that the difference is due to deliberate concealment. Also, 54 of the 105 countries studied in the research work I carried out (over 50%) hide some information regarding their mortality data."
