According to him, earlier, before the appearance of the omicron strain, the risk of recurrent disease was less than 1% – within 0.74%. “Now there are publications about patients who have previously suffered a new coronavirus infection, the risk of re-infection increases up to five times,” he stressed.

Until 2015, the Dutch monarchs traditionally came to the official opening of parliament in a “Golden Carriage” (De Gouden Koets). It is now in the Amsterdam Museum. However, anti-racism activists drew attention to one of the images adorning the carriage, which, in their opinion, glorifies the colonial past of the country. The drawing applied to the carriage doors is called “Tribute from the Colonies”. It depicts several Africans and Asians presenting gifts, including cocoa and sugar cane, to a seated white woman, symbolizing the Netherlands. At the same time, one of them is on his knees. A man is sitting next to a woman, holding out a book to a little boy. As the author of the work, the artist Nicholas van der Waay, said in 1896, this book symbolizes the “gift of civilization” presented by the Netherlands to its colonies.

“The situation is getting more complicated every day due to the fact that Omicron is beginning to dominate the proportion of cases. Recent studies gave 41%, but today it is safe to say that more than half of the cases are those with omicron,” the official said on the Rossiya 1 TV channel. According to him, this suggests that the dynamics of the spread of this variety of SARS-CoV-2 is increasing. Since December 20, 729 cases of infection have been registered in the capital. Omicron is a strain of coronavirus, or B.1.1.529, found in Botswana and South Africa in early November. According to experts, it is characterized by increased transmissivity. According to data at the end of December, a new variant has already been identified in 110 countries of the world, it is spreading faster than the “delta” and is becoming dominant. Vaccination remains the most reliable method of protection. According

Lopburi has long been known in the country for its huge population of macaques, which attracts tourists from all over the world. Locals even hold an annual festival in honor of primates. Usually, the monkeys were plentifully fed by tourists, but during the pandemic, the locals also began to throw them food. Since the beginning of the coronavirus quarantine, 6 thousand Lopburi macaques have become more aggressive: now they penetrate into homes and steal everything that is bad. One abandoned cinema even became their “base”: locals say that anyone who tried to enter was attacked. In addition, violent clashes between rival packs of monkeys sometimes block roads. Residents assume that the animals were brought to the city by the felling of a nearby forest. City services lure primates with fruit into cages and take them away for sterilization, but they simply can’t keep up with the growth in the number

This was found out by scientists at Cardiff University, The Guardian reports. As noted by Michael Lewis, an expert at the School of Psychology at Cardiff University, a study conducted before the pandemic showed that people in medical masks arouse less sympathy from others because they are associated with diseases. “We decided to check whether this perception has changed, since masks have appeared everywhere, and decided to understand whether the type of mask matters,” the researcher said. He said that now people in blue medical masks look the most attractive. “Perhaps because we are used to such masks being worn by health care workers, and now we associate them with doctors who take care of our health. In difficult times, medical masks inspire confidence, so we experience more positive feelings towards those who wear them,” suggested Michael Lewis.
