Since Omicron has been challenging to avoid a Corona infection despite immunization and preventive measures, many catch the virus several times, while others are spared. But what is the reason for this? Researchers are finding a surprising answer. Since the beginning of the year, the Omicron variant has caused several infections. The disease risk has never been as high as in the current wave. Despite vaccination and boosters, more and more people are contracting covid – often for the second or third time. But some seem to be unaffected by…

According to experts, we humans feed ourselves with too much protein. As a result, our excretions in bodies of water cause a significant environmental problem. This is because human urine leads to a higher nitrogen input. Humans feed on proteins to a large extent. After all, along with fats and carbohydrates, these form the most critical components of the food we need to live. In addition, protein-rich food provides energy and is involved in numerous biochemical processes of the body in the form of cell building blocks and transport substances.…

A U.S. finding gives researchers hope for a universal vaccine against Omicron and future variants. Since its first appearance just over two and a half years ago in Wuhan, China, the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus has developed new mutations. More infectious viral variants have become prevalent. However, vaccines and therapeutic antibodies predominantly target earlier strains of the coronavirus. The currently circulating variant BA.5, for example, seems to be able to evade immune protection particularly well. Experts are therefore hoping for a vaccine that is effective against all previous – and especially future…

For months, more and more Austrians have been ordering parcels, the practical delivery to the doorstep is popular – plus 30 percent recorded, for example, the post office in the previous year.

The WWF writes this in its report “The Big Throwaway” that million tons of food end up in the garbage can in Austria every year. That’s equivalent to one-fifth of our current food consumption of 55 million tons per year. This figure also includes fruit and vegetable peelings and meat and fish bones. But even if you exclude this waste, 10 million tons of food waste could be avoided today. Most of the food we waste is in our households: Of the seven million tons we throw in the trash…
