News that can touch you directly

It seems that there are already two working vaccines from coronavirus . One is being developed by the American company Moderna. In this RNA vaccine, instead of a weakened virus, its genetic material is used. Studies have shown that the participants in the experiment form antibodies that neutralize the virus. The problem is that such vaccines have never been approved for use on a person . Scientists from Oxford tested their (more traditional) vaccine: it is safe and causes an immune response. About the results of the first study for a thousand people writes the authoritative medical journal The Lancet .

This is what the reader Anna wrote to us:

I am 62. I live with a 90-year-old mother in Voronezh. She sits in a summer house in the country. Not everyone knows about masks, so it’s dangerous to go there by transport - you can infect your mother. So for me the only joy from this situation is the purchase of an electric grinding. In order not to ditch my mother, I wander from the cottage to the house for food a couple of times a week. And for me this is a pleasure.

Mom - health, you too. And all our readers!
