From “smile” to “no”, how horror became the defining type of epidemic

Scientists identify molecule that can kill COVID with ‘hugs’ – but there’s a catch

Scientists have identified only a molecule Likes SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. He loves it so much that he practically “incubates” it to death – so tightly bound to the virus that the virus cannot infect our cells.

New COVID-19 mutations can make people sick for longer

When the pharmaceutical industry scrambled to develop the first COVID vaccines in 2020, it made sense for developers to focus on the part of the virus that allows it to take over and infect our cells: the spiky proteins.
