According to Izvestia newspaper, it will be more accurate in the presence of new mutations in the pathogen genome.

Saxo Bank expert: rejection of nuclear energy could raise prices in Europe , then this could raise prices in the market, causing serious social problems, Christopher Dembik, head of macroeconomic analysis at Saxo Bank, told RIA Novosti. In Europe, the debate continues on whether nuclear power should be considered green. Depending on the outcome of the negotiations, the negative impact on the EU economy will vary greatly, Dembik predicts. If nuclear energy is not included in the transformation, it will lead to higher energy prices, put pressure on the economy and may create additional social tension, the expert is sure.

At the current level of technological development, renewable energy sources cannot replace traditional energy sources, added a Saxo Bank employee.
