News that can touch you directly

Is it possible to trust vaccines that were developed in such a short time? Short answer: Yes, PFIZER/BIONTECH and Moderna vaccines are safe quite safe. Unfortunately, there are few data on the “satellite V”, which will be vaccinated by Russians: they began to experience it later. Other Russian vaccines have been examined even worse. It is necessary to decide whether to vaccinate or not, we will have to independently - and in our cards we talk about the possible consequences and about the effectiveness of vaccines.

We tell you what long -term consequences coronavirus has . Among the patients who have transferred the disease in mild form, 53% complain of fatigue, 43% of shortness of breath, 27% - on joint pain, 22% - for chest pain. After a severe form, problems with memory, sleep problems and difficulties with concentration of attention may arise. Perhaps Koronavirus has other consequences, but we do not know about them yet .

In the UK, a new strain of the virus was discovered. Aviation messages with it were closed by more than 20 countries - including Russia . According to Prime Minister Boris Johnson, a new strain of 70% more controversial, but no more dangerous. Not only flights were banned, but also ferry message and movement along the tunnel near La-Channel. The new mutation of the virus was first discovered in September. There is no data on its mortality yet, but the incidence in the UK has doubled compared to the beginning of December. Doctors are still calm: vaccines must work against a new strain .

What else

In Denmark, carcasses of millions of minks are dug and burn, which were killed because of the Covid . In the population of the minks on the farms, a new strain of coronavirus was found. The authorities decided to kill all animals - both sick and healthy. Buried carcasses began to rise to the surface due to the formation of gases during their decomposition-they were even jokingly called “zombie minks”. The remains of the minks decided to dig and burn at the garbage plant . But not now, but after a few months - when there are no traces of coronavirus on the carcasses.

Airlines S7 will resume flights to Munich, Milan and Rome. Only the EU citizens or the owners of a residence permit will be able to fly away . All charters will be weekly . From December 28 to Mondays, flights from Moscow to Munich will begin, from December 29 to Tuesdays - from Moscow to Rome, from December 30 on Wednesdays - to Milan.
