After the new Corona virus has become a threat to the whole world, more than a year after its appearance, each of us has been looking forward to knowing what is happening every minute, in light of the tremendous development that Covid-19 has brought about in our lives.
“Masrawy” provides a daily service to display everything you want to know about the developments of the emerging corona virus, from the emergence of new symptoms or the occurrence of a different mutation, as well as the development of vaccines and medicines, in a nutshell.
One way to distinguish between covid and influenza
The Regional Office for the Eastern Mediterranean Region of the World Health Organization said that the symptoms of the emerging corona virus may be similar to the symptoms of influenza.
The FAO Regional Office stressed the importance of taking into account the following facts:
The only way to be sure which of the two viruses has infected you is to get a Covid test, knowing that loss of taste or smell or both and shortness of breath are the most indicative symptoms of Covid.
Vaccine provides double protection against corona and influenza
A team of Chinese scientists has developed a single-dose vaccine that can provide double protection against the coronavirus and influenza, and it has been successfully tested on mice.
According to the Chinese news agency (Xinhua) today, Tuesday, a number of researchers from Fudan University in the Chinese city (Shanghai) presented the new vaccine in a study recently published in the Journal of Virology, saying that they designed an immune material by integrating the binding domain of the “SARS-Cove-receptor” receptor. 2″ with the stalk of “H7N9” preserved and expressed using vectors of chimpanzee adenovirus, according to Middle East News Agency.
This is how some people escaped from Corona for two years
More than two years have passed since the emergence of the Corona epidemic, but some people have not yet contracted this infectious disease, despite the successive waves of “Covid 19”, amid confusion about the factors that made some people escape infection.
And a professor of immunology at the British University of Birmingham, Zania, Stamataki, wrote in an article in the newspaper “The Guardian”, that she did not catch corona, although she is working on research on the virus in the laboratory, which makes her more vulnerable to disease, in principle, and the researcher explains that providing an explanation It is accurate, which requires taking several scenarios into account, explaining that it is unlikely or very weak that she will not have been exposed to the virus for good, given the large number of mutagens and the speed of infection, and it is also likely that her body has already caught the emerging corona virus, but he managed to get rid of it before it develops to disease, meaning that the virus was aborted, according to Sky News.
It is also possible that the researcher was infected with the Corona virus at the beginning of the epidemic, but without symptoms, she did not conduct an examination and did not discover the matter, and some people get rid of the virus quickly, because they benefit from the presence of antibodies and a memory of immune cells that recognize the virus One of the reasons mentioned is also that the immune system differs from one person to another, so it does not react in the same way when exposed to infection and the virus infiltrate the human body trying to break into the cell.
