Bats in human-disturbed ecosystems are more likely to become infected with coronavirus
(ORDO NEWS) — A study led by scientists at Ludwig-Maximilian University Munich has identified an important factor in the spread of coronavirus infection in bats. The work showed that bats in habitats disturbed by human activity are more likely to become infected with coronaviruses than bats in intact ecosystems. Bats in human-disturbed ecosystems experience constant stress and weaken their immune systems. Over the past 20 years, coronaviruses spreading in wild bat populations have led to three major outbreaks in humans:…

AI helped create a vaccine against all strains of coronavirus at once
(ORDO NEWS) — American researchers have developed a promising universal vaccine against any strain of the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus. In an experiment on genetically modified mice, the drug protected experimental animals from severe illness and death. The vast majority of clinically tested and experimental Covid-19 vaccines use the S-protein as a “target”. It is located on the “thorn” of the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus, and the body of patients usually produces the most antibodies to it. The trouble is that their effectiveness becomes…

Where did the coronavirus come from: Answer is still being sought
(ORDO NEWS) — There are two main hypotheses about the origin of SARS-CoV-2: either the virus arose on its own and spread to humans directly from bats or through an intermediate host, or it was designed by scientists and then there was a laboratory leak. It is also possible that the virus was found in animals, and only then, due to an oversight in the laboratory, people were infected with it. To understand what really happened, in May 2020, WHO…

Paying for Coronavirus Vaccines doesn’t corrupt people
(ORDO NEWS) — New work on American and Swedish material has shown that people who decide to get vaccinated because of a small monetary incentive do not change their behavior in a negative direction after such an experiment. This means that such “stimulation” makes sense as a state policy. Even at the beginning of the coronavirus epidemic, a number of researchers noted that the reluctance of people to be vaccinated is the main risk factor in the epidemic. A similar…
