The coronavirus pandemic has been raging for more than a year now, and during the course of that time the eyes of the world focused first on China, then on Europe and later America. But right now, everyone is looking closely at India, where the situation is spiraling out of control: its health emergency is beyond any other countryâs worst experience with Covid-19, measured by the number of daily deaths and new infections. The international community is responding by sending equipment to a country lacking just about everything â ventilators, oxygen, medication and hospital beds â while scientists say the situation illustrates the importance of faster vaccination in developing countries. âUntil weâre all protected, nobody is protected,â has become the new mantra. ....
The changing criteria for the use of Oxford-AstraZeneca in Spain is eroding the trust of the public in the Covid-19 vaccine. This week saw two modifications to the age groups that will receive the shots in the space of just 24 hours, given the fears that the medication could be linked to a tiny number of rare blood clots registered in the inoculation campaign so far.

But this medication does not actually fight the virus itself, but rather the uncontrolled inflammatory reaction it causes in patients with the worst prognosis. On Monday an international team of researchers published the first verified scientific data on the effectiveness of a new treatment that could become the most potent antiviral drug against the coronavirus: plitidepsin. Scientists led by the Spanish virologist Adolfo GarcÃa-Sastre from Mount Sinai hospital in New York, explain that this drug is 100 times more potent than remdesivir, the first antiviral drug approved to treat Covid-19, wh ....
