So who is right? Those who intentionally infect or fear infection in schools? What are the effects of the virus on children? What do we know after a year and a half of illness, and a few more months of infection with the strain

A virus from the corona family that affects horses was diagnosed for the first time in Israel

The equine corona virus is a close relative of the corona virus which has caused widespread morbidity in the world in the last year (COVID-19). In this family, called beta-coronaviruses, there are also animal and human coronaviruses

  • One response
The variant carries 14 defining mutations, seven of which are in the spike protein - the protein that mediates the entry of the virus into human cells. This is a relatively large number of changes compared to the many versions of the virus around the world

In the lungs, it is NETs that drive the accumulation of sputum in the airways of cystic fibrosis patients. They also accelerate the development of acute respiratory distress syndrome, which arises due to a variety of reasons, including the flu. In the vascular system, they cause arteriosclerosis and arteriovenous aneurysms as well as thrombosis (thrombosis, especially microbrbrosis), and these have devastating effects on the functioning of the organs.
