Israel looks like it may have achieved herd immunity, with its aggressive vaccination program helping the country achieve a staggering decrease in coronavirus cases.
The continuing decline in cases, despite the easing of lockdown restrictions, is being hailed as proof vaccination does work and the country may even have achieved herd immunity.
The country of about nine million people began rolling out Pfizer vaccinations in December around the time its third and largest wave of COVID-19 infections began to take off, with a record high of 11,934 cases on January 27.
However, Israel has since managed to get its cases under control, with the European Union on Thursday adding it to its list of safe countries that can freely travel to Europe for tourism, alongside Australia, South Korea, Singapore and Thailand. ....

Israeli study: High BMI linked to increase risk of testing positive for Covid-19

Obesity-related factors are believed to be associated with an increased risk of contracting various viral diseases.
Some 26,030 were tested as part of the study between March 16 and December 31 2020, among whom 1,178 positive Covid-19 results were recorded.
Researchers found the relationship between BMI and the probability of a patient testing positive remained significant even after age, sex and other medical conditions were considered.
The study also found that people with diabetes were 30% more likely to test positive, while the likelihood was six times greater in those with high blood pressure.
However, the risk was reduced in people with a history of a stroke, ischemic heart disease and chronic kidney disease by 39%, 55% and 45%, respectively. ....

Jerusalem, May 11 : People with increasing body mass index (BMI) may be at the risk of testing positive for SARS-CoV-2, the virus which causes Covid-19, finds a new study.
The researchers, from the Chaim Sheba Medical Centre in Israel, found that the odds of testing positive for SARS-CoV-2 were 22 per cent more higher in patients who were overweight or obese compared to those with a normal BMI.
People with Class I obesity (BMI 30.0-34.9 kg/m2) was linked to a 27 per cent higher risk of testing positive, which increased to 38 per cent for class II obesity (BMI 35.0-39.9 kg/m2), and an 86 per cent higher risk in class III or morbid obesity (BMI at or above 40.0 kg/m2). ....
