Belgium is going through a third wave of the pandemic. The incidence of coronavirus infections continues to increase in Europe, as authorities try to accelerate the rate of vaccination, a complicated task, among other reasons due to the shortage of vaccines and the confusion about whether any of them, such as Astra Zeneca, is applied restricted to certain age groups and to which ones, an aspect on which there is no unified criterion either. Italy registered 17,567 new coronavirus infections in the last twenty-four hours, an increase in line with those of these days, and 344 deaths, the Ministry of Health reported this Saturday Regarding vaccines, 12'652,847 people have already received the injection, especially among health personnel and the elderly, but those completely immunized, with both doses, are only 3'853,704, according to official data. The media reports that a third of those over 80 have not received a dose. The objective now is to give the highest priority to these elderly people to guarantee their safety, and to accelerate the campaign, still below the half a million daily injections expected in mid-April (currently around 300,000 daily). In Belgium, which is going through a third wave of the pandemic, the cumulative incidence stands at 505.3 cases per 100,000 inhabitants in the last fourteen days, according to the Sciensano public health institute. The average number of deaths per day in the last week reached 41.1 deaths, while cases reached 3,594 per day and hospitalizations were 250.3 each day. Regarding vaccination, 1,677,523 people have received at least one dose, representing 14.6% of the po[CENSORED]tion, but only the two doses have been given to 605,395 individuals, 5.3%. In the Netherlands, more than 3 million doses have already been used to vaccinate 17 million people against COVID-19, although it is not clear how many people have already received the two injections necessary to achieve protection. So far in Greece there have been 2,114,222 vaccinations. 12.7% of the 11 million inhabitants of the country have received the first dose of the vaccine and 6.5% both. Since the pandemic began, Greece has registered 290,964 cases and 8,758 deaths from coronavirus. This Friday, according to the latest available data, Greece confirmed 2,747 new cases after the analysis of 57,370 tests, the vast majority of them rapid tests. Although this figure reduced the positivity rate, Greece again broke its record for intubated patients by reaching 790 as ICUs continue to battle weeks of saturation. While in Germany, the cumulative incidence in seven days rose to 120.6 cases per 100,000 inhabitants, compared to 110.4 yesterday and 131.4 a week ago, with 24,097 new infections in the last 24 hours, almost 6,000 more than the last Saturday. The death toll in one day rose to 246, after 120 a week ago, according to data from the Robert Koch Institute (RKI) of virology updated this morning. The president of the RKI, Lothar Wieler, pointed out that there are other factors, such as the occupation of the UCIS, updated to the day, that show the evolution of the pandemic, and in this sense he spoke of a “very, very serious” situation. Until Saturday in Germany, 4,831,522 people had received the two doses of the vaccine - 5.8% of the po[CENSORED]tion - and 112,204,176 (14.7%), at least one. France set a new daily record of vaccinations with 510,000 on Friday, announced the Minister of Health, Olivier Véran, so that there are already more than 10.5 million people who have received at least one dose, 15.7% of the po[CENSORED]tion. Regarding the epidemic situation, the most significant thing is that the tension remains at a very high level in hospitals, and in particular in the ucis, with a high volume of infections. This Friday 41,243 cases were reported, in line with what happened in the previous days (on Wednesday and Thursday together there were 84,999) and 301 deaths in hospitals (343 the day before).

A mechanism will be established to validate the behavior of each animal, regardless of its breed, to assess the danger of the dog. The behavior of each animal will weigh on its breed to avoid "unfair" prejudices. That is the essence of the new regulations that the Government is preparing and that will end the lists of potentially dangerous dogs. It is a draft law to modify Law 50/99 on potentially dangerous animals. They hope to present it in May and with it look at the individual behavior of companion animals without taking into account "the specific breed with which they were born" and thus avoid "unfair" prejudices. The standard will establish a behavior validation mechanism for each horse. In addition, it foresees that dogs that need some "particular handling" should be educated with behavior improvement techniques so that they stop being dangerous. This has been stated by the general director of Animal Rights of the Government, Sergio García Torres, in a conference organized by the Royal Spanish Canine Society (RSCE) in which he has also explained the regulatory changes that the Animal Welfare law will entail prepared by the Executive . Precisely, during the day, the Royal Canine Society of Spain has requested a new Law that universalizes canine identification, education of children and young people in values that promote respect and animal empathy, protection and promotion of autochthonous breeds and recognition of the work of ethical and responsible breeders. Homogenize 17 regulations One of the challenges faced by this draft is to standardize the 17 regional regulations to establish a common general framework and, in turn, include a 'System of Animal Protection Records' (SRPA), of which different identification systems will be part. Among them, a registry of animal welfare centers will be created, by which the professionalism of the sector will be guaranteed; that of the collection of abandoned animals or animal protection entities. Likewise, a National Registry of Canine Behavior and Education Professionals will be implemented in collaboration with the Ministries of Labor and Education, so that a training framework will be established so that professionals can join it in a regulated manner and for clients can access professionals with a "guarantee". Another of the "key pieces" of the regulation will be the obligation to identify companion animals before they can be bought and within the first three months of life so that the breeding is controlled, while a National Registry of Disqualification for the Keeping of Companion Animals, which will include all those convicted of abuse, who may not register any animal in their name. Tougher penalties for abusers The bill also plans to modify the civil code to recognize that animals are sentient beings in line with the Lisbon Treaty, as well as another modification of the Penal Code to update the penalties for crimes of animal abuse upwards since the current ones are they are "quite lax" since the maximum is 18 months. Likewise, the general director has added that they are considering a draft law for assistance dogs that includes homogeneous criteria and that equates, in particular, their access in public spaces. "The draft national law on animal protection that will be the combination of projects," defended García Torres, who insists on the need to move towards zero abandonment and zero sacrifice. Dogs now considered PPP Right now, the breeds considered potentially dangerous in Law 50/99 are: - Pit Bull Terrier - Staffordshire Bull Terrier - American Staffodshire Terrier - Rottweiler - Argentine Dogo - Fila Brasileiro - Tosa Inu - Akita Inu Likewise, those that meet all or most of these characteristics are considered hazards: - Strong musculature, powerful appearance, robust, athletic configuration, agility, vigor and endurance. - Outstanding character and great value. - Short hair. - Thoracic circumference between 60 and 80 centimeters, height at the withers between 50 and 70 centimeters and weight greater than 20 kg. - Head voluminous, cuboid, robust, with a broad and large skull and muscular and bulging cheeks. - Strong and large jaws, robust, wide and deep mouth. - Wide neck, short and muscled. - Solid, broad, large, deep chest, arched ribs and short, muscular loin. - Parallel, straight and robust forelimbs and very muscular hindlimbs, with relatively long legs at a moderate angle.

When General Motors announced that it was "digging up" Hummer, we were overjoyed. This mythical all-terrain firm was reviled by the public when the 2007 crisis crept into our lives. It is true that the consumption of its models was not measured, but with a twist to its concept it could have had a new life. Be that as it may, the electrification of the automotive sector has allowed it and here is your new model. Once the pick up body was presented in society, it was time to meet the GMC Hummer EV SUV. We were looking forward to this moment, as it was the only way to know if the GMC design team was able to maintain the essence of the early Humvees. And gentlemen, the result has been spectacular, so much so that it does not seem that much time has passed. In addition, it has everything good about its electric platform. GMC Hummer EV SUV keeps original Humvee DNA intact As expected, and teasers announced, the evolution of the GMC Hummer EV SUV is lagging behind. To re-body the cargo bath, the creative team has expanded this volume and introduced a roof reminiscent of its predecessors. In fact, we cannot ignore several charismatic design elements: the "C" pillar, the width of the wheel arch, the floating black roof, the spare wheel hanging on the tailgate or the rear window. Inside everything is still as we knew it. The design of the center console and the high number of electronic aids and assistants are at a high level. The quality of materials (at least visually) does not seem to be his strong suit, but we must not forget that he is a Yankee model for the Yankees. However, General Motors wants to distance it from its pick-up brother with equipment items that are not yet present in its range. As announced by GMC, we must mention the Enhanced Super Cruise mode, the Crabwalk system with all-wheel steering, the Extract mode and the explosive Watts To Freedom mode. From the moment of sale, Edition 1 equipment will be available, which includes 22-inch alloy wheels and other customization options as standard. In addition, optionally, the Extreme Off-Road package will also be available. In terms of technique or powertrain, the GMC Hummer EV SUV remains unchanged. Thanks to the Ultium platform from General Motors, you will have several electric motors and a performance of up to 841 hp. The batteries and the charging possibilities are also maintained, although there could be changes when configuring the range. What is clear is that it will not reach Europe, but its sale in the United States will start in early 2023.

Valencia wins the final for the Top 8 and awaits Zenit's stumble. Like a boxing match. Like two warriors in search of the ultimate victory. Like a real ending. In all this, Valencia Basket and TD Systems Baskonia made the last match of the regular phase of the Euroleague. The two needed the win to keep alive their slim chances of reaching the Top 8 and it was all decided in the end. Between the free kicks and the errors resulting from the nerves, Jaume Ponsarnau's team was able to escape and was more successful in the final seconds (86-81). A game that had everything and that met the predictions. Until the last second and until Bojan Dubljevic's final basket, the victory did not know which way to fall. So strange was the script that the best players in the match shrunk their wrists. On the taronja side, Derrick Williams (16 + 4) missed the free throws that could have sentenced. On the Baskonia side, Pierria Henry (19 + 7) maximized his anarchy and ended up condemning the few chances of victory. And it is that, at times, it seemed that neither of them wanted to win the match. In fact, TD Systems Baskonia had its key moment in the third quarter. Henry and Rokas Giedraitis turned into a nightmare for a taronja team that began to kiss the canvas. With a lead of nine, Baskonia missed the opportunity to find the double digits of difference and gave life to Valencia Basket. From 47-56 to 60-59 with a tremendous triple from Klemen Prepelic on the horn (60-59). Dusko Ivanovic's men were comfortable with the crazy pace and the game turned into a street runner. But that double-edged sword ended up taking its toll. Also, putting Henry and Luca Vildoza together did not help bring order to the game. On the contrary, Valencia Basket needed, which improved by playing static and looking for balls inside in the face of foul problems from rival interiors. But in the final moments, the tactic disappeared to give way to madness. A 2 + 1 from Mike Tobey left Valencia Basket with a 4-point lead with a minute to go. Achille Polonara was able to close the gap, but the triple released from him did not enter. Neither Alec Peters' 3-pointer nor Henry's free throws entered. Only the final basket of the taronja captain could decide a real battle. With the victory, Valencia Basket eliminates Baskonia from the Euroleague and keeps alive their hope of being in the Top 8. To do so they need Zenit de Saint Petersburg to lose one of their next two games. The quarterfinals and the place of the next season, at stake.

Some guidelines to consume this food daily without regrets. Bread is eaten daily in many households. From a health point of view, there is nothing to oppose. "The low calorie craze makes people feel guilty if they eat a lot of bread," says dietitian Claudia Krüger. But they shouldn't. Of course, she clarifies: "At least half of the bread eaten per day should be whole." The guideline values of the German Nutrition Society (DGE) are between four and six slices of bread, that is, between 200 and 300 grams per day. Or between three and five slices of bread (between 150 and 250 grams) and between 50 and 60 grams of cereal flakes. To compare: a 50 gram slice of whole wheat bread provides 99 calories and four grams of fiber. To achieve the same with white bread toast, you would have to eat four slices of 30 grams each, which is equivalent to 312 calories. Whoever wants to orient themselves to these values, in addition, should not equate a slice of bread to a muffin "A whole wheat bread loaf can be equivalent to two slices of bread," explains Krüger, "because twice as much flour is often used for bread rolls ”. Is whole wheat or white bread better? Better a slice of whole wheat bread than toast. This is recommended by many nutritionists and with good reason. White bread also has its advantages, but it should not be eaten too much. Let's get to the facts: whoever eats bread made from whole wheat flour will feel satiated much sooner thanks to the many fibers. "You fill your stomach without taking in too many calories," explains nutrition and home economics expert Maike Groeneveld. Fibers can help reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes, metabolic disorders, colon cancer, and also cardiovascular disease. True whole wheat bread is made from ground whole grain cereal. But that does not mean that the inside of the bread is grainy or that the grains can be seen. The cereal can even be ground very finely. But appearance isn't everything: "Don't be fooled by color," recommends the German Nutrition Society. A darker color can also be generated by adding malt extract. "Many times the color is related to whole wheat bread, but in many cases it is due to the caramel used as a coloring." In other words, it is best to examine the container well. For real whole wheat bread, it says “whole wheat bread” on the packaging. In the list of ingredients it should first say “whole wheat flour”. In the bakery you have to pay attention to what it says in the window.

According to the WHO, the mechanism is on the right track to deliver vaccines to all countries that have requested it during the first half of the year. The World Health Organization (WHO), through its Covax program, has shipped 38 million vaccines to more than 100 countries since it began distributing doses in February, although it faces delays from its three main suppliers: AstraZeneca, Pfizer and BioNTech, and the Serum Institute of India. The WHO reported Thursday that these delays in March and April are due to manufacturers optimizing their production processes in the initial phase of launch. The case of the Serum Institute of India is particular and the inability to fulfill the promised shipments is due to the growing demand for vaccines by the Indian Government, which faces a new wave of the pandemic. Of the 102 countries where the Covax program has distributed doses, 61 are among the poorest in the world. “More than 37 million doses of our vaccine have been distributed to date and they are protecting the most vulnerable po[CENSORED]tions around the world,” commented AstraZeneca CEO Pascal Soriot, who said he was proud that his vaccine represents the great most doses that are distributed through Covax. According to the WHO, Covax is on the path to delivering vaccines to all countries that have requested it during the first half of the year. "We are proud to work with Covax and all of its partners and remain firmly committed to working toward equitable access for all to end this pandemic," stated Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla. For its part, the United States announced that it will organize an event to increase Covax funding and thus accelerate access to vaccines around the world. "Through unprecedented cooperation among donors, manufacturers, and participating countries, Covax has achieved extraordinary milestones in equitable distribution of doses to the global community in record time," said US Secretary of State Antony Blinken. On the other hand, the president of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, celebrated that Covax has managed to administer vaccines in some of the most vulnerable countries in the world, such as Afghanistan or Yemen. "Team Europe has invested heavily in Covax and I urge all partners to support Covax to ensure that no one is left behind," she stated. WHO expects to distribute at least 2 billion doses of vaccines in 2021 through the Covax program.

The work that Hyundai Motor Group is doing with Genesis is very laborious. Those responsible for the South Korean builder know that creating a premium firm from scratch is very difficult. Above all, when they have to carve out in the minds of consumers an image of quality and sophistication that they lack. To do this, and although it sounds like a copy, they are following the same steps that Toyota, Honda or Nissan took in their day. Yes, because to shape Lexus, Acura and Infiniti first they looked at their German rivals and then they went to the market that could be the most favorable for them: the US. If to that you add models of great invoice and with a picturesque design, we have as a result the path that Genesis is walking. Now they are back to introduce the new Genesis X Concept, a logical and natural evolution of the Essence they showed the world a couple of years ago. The Genesis X Concept is a high-performance GT powered by electricity According to statements by SangYup Lee, Genesis Global Design Director ... “The Genesis X Concept can be described as the ultimate vision of athletic elegance, the inherent design language of Genesis” […] “The distinctive theme of Two Lines and sustainable luxury will be the blueprints of the futuristic designs and technologies of vanguard that Genesis seeks to adopt in its future models » With this in mind, it is enough to take a look at the prototype to realize that it could arrive in the series with very little changes. Among the design elements that make up its silhouette we can highlight the long and under hood or the Full LED optics. The front grille follows a three-dimensional G-Matrix pattern to underline the Genesis identity. For its part, the side view is typical of a GT, with a sharp drop from the roof line. The rear also presents a minimalist design although not lacking in style. In it, Full LED optics stand out that maintain the same format as the front ones. Three elements come together in the integration of the third volume: the muscular waist line, the stretched rear window and the integrated spoiler on the boot lid. The bumper closes the horseshoe shape that opens the hood and integrates a discreet diffuser decorated with chrome lines. Inside, the execution and quality of materials (at least visually) is at a high level. The driver is surrounded by a console that integrates a large screen to manage the infotainment system. For its part, the instrument panel is digitally configurable and the mirrors include cameras. As for its technique, they have only confirmed that it is pure electric, but have not announced its power or battery capacity. Nothing is known about its possible arrival on the market, although perhaps in the future ...

The Brazilian is experiencing his best night as a Real Madrid player, with two goals and an exhibition that will take a long time to forget Alexander Arnold, who lived a nightmare. The player 'responded' with the "I here" to Valdano, who would change him for Mbappé. Vinícius Junior is a Madridista through and through. If it weren't because he is from Rio de Janeiro and because he is also a Flamengo fan, it would seem that he was born on Paseo de la Castellana. His kisses to the shield after his goals are not a pose, as it was not that when the emissaries of Madrid went to Brazil to close the signing of him he sang the anthem of the Decima. That is why every goal, every great night, every criticism and every disappointment he experiences in a very special and profound way. The night of April 6 is one that he will never forget. Vini has endured everything at Real Madrid. At the age of 18, they hung him a backpack worth 50 million euros and the responsibility of pulling post-Christian Madrid. And the lack of a goal from him played against him from day one. Vini has endured laughter and ridicule while it has cost him to prevail in the eleven, because Zidane never gave him anything. There were those who even whispered to him that he should leave Madrid due to the lack of opportunities, but Vini never considered it. Because he is very Madridista and because he always leads. Ask Alexander Arnold, who lived a nightmare. The Brazilian gave a recital against Liverpool, an exhibition crowned with two goals, which he was always reproached for. In the first half, he turned a stratospheric 50-meter Kroos pass into a work of art, with perfect control and definition. Where he had almost always failed, he nailed it. Great goal and kiss to the shield. "You eat them bug!", Ramos yelled from the band. In the second half he found the goal again after a pass from Benzema, which in October undermined his morale and is now his partner. Even from that Vini got up, who in the previous one of this party had to listen to Valdano say that it would be necessary to change it by Mbappé. It hurt the Brazilian to hear that and replied: "Here, here," he said after scoring 3-1, kissing his shield. Then he hugged Zidane, who in the end has ended up surrendering to the Brazilian, who fails a lot, yes, but he always goes. And that from this April 6, 2021, he appears in the great European nights of Madrid.

Through food, people can avoid and fight diseases. The important thing is to strengthen the immune system. A well-nourished individual is prepared to face any pathogen that enters to invade it. That is why immunonutrition is the science that provides the basis for providing adequate nutritional support to obtain a correct immune response. Food is composed of nutrients that are not only assimilable substances that allow the body to obtain energy, build and repair tissues and regulate metabolic processes, but are also capable of influencing the physiological functions of the individual such as the immune system. Today we emphasize that nutritional imbalances contribute to an increased risk of infections, so that our current nutritional status directly influences the quality of our immune system. Age, hormonal status, sedentary lifestyle, stress, consumption of tobacco, alcohol, drugs, obesity and malnutrition are key factors that we must take into account as a source of variation in our immune status. It is also important to remember that almost 70% of the immune system depends on the second “brain” of the body: the intestines, since our intestinal microbiota (families of microorganisms, which are living bacteria that have colonized our intestines mainly at the level of the colon), which in turn depends on everything we eat. They eat mainly complex carbohydrates rich in fiber and also contribute to the production of vitamins K, B12 and folic acid. On the other hand, zinc, selenium and vitamin A, C, E and D deficiencies directly affect the maintenance of the immune system, so choosing foods that are varied and rich in this set of micronutrients and prebiotic fiber - contained in foods such as radishes , garlic, onions, asparagus and vegetables— will help us maintain a state of eubiosis, which is nothing more than having a healthy intestinal microbiota, which will stimulate an effective response, especially in times of a SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. One of the main recommendations to achieve a correct nutritional state is to give the body at least three servings of fruits and two servings of vegetables a day, as well as ensuring that protein foods, whether of animal origin, are present in the main meals or vegetable, such as eggs, white or red meats (preferably organic), fish and legumes such as lupines and chickpeas. Five tips to meet immunonutrition in your body 1. Increase your intake of fruits rich in antioxidants: guava, kiwi, orange, lemon, papaya, red berries and soursop. 2. Include vegetables in your meals every day, such as red / yellow bell pepper, cabbage, spinach, asparagus, broccoli, tomato, red onion, and radishes. 3. Enhance your seasonings and enhance the flavor with natural spices such as garlic, turmeric, chives, rosemary, cinnamon, dijon mustard, and ginger. 4. Don't forget to include healthy fat sources, such as extra virgin olive oil, nuts, and seeds; consider activating them first, as in the case of almonds: consume them after soaking to take better advantage of their nutrients. They can be added to salads so that they do not forget to consume them during the day. 5. Remember to consume foods with probiotic characteristics, kefir and natural yogurt. Given the importance of nutrition in the body's immune response, it is key to take care of the diet and the way it is eaten. Start the day with a good breakfast, never skipping this meal or omitting another, since it is very common that they do not eat. Remember that every moment is key, do not miss the opportunity to fulfill yourself with immunonutrition on a daily basis. It is not advisable to self-medicate by ingesting vitamins without nutritional monitoring, as they can cause accumulation of metabolites that can later affect your kidneys. The pandemic is not over yet and we are responsible for facing it in the best way possible. Whether you have already had COVID-19 or not, your progress depends on your diet.

According to its forecasts, Latin America will grow in 2021 at a rate of 4.6%, half a point above the January forecast. The economic recovery in Latin America and the Caribbean will be "slight" compared to other regions of the world and will have "various speeds", with large differences between exporting countries and those dependent on tourism, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) stressed on Tuesday. "After a sharp decline in 2020, only a mild, multi-speed recovery is expected in Latin America and the Caribbean in 2021," the Fund noted in its new Global Economic Outlook (WEO) report. According to its forecasts, Latin America will grow in 2021 at a rate of 4.6%, half a point above the IMF forecast for January. "Much to do" in Argentina" In their analysis, the experts explain that the expected development for this year is largely due to the growth of the region's large exporting countries, such as Argentina, Brazil and Peru, which have been positively impacted by the rebound in world manufacturing in the second half of 2020. However, the Fund's chief economist, Gita Gopinath, assured that "much remains to be done" for the macroeconomic stabilization of Argentina, one of the countries that currently has a rescue program from the multilateral organization. "Argentina faces very important challenges, since inflation is very high" and "it is not very clear yet" how this indicator will evolve. For this reason, "much remains to be done in terms of macroeconomic stabilization," Gopinath said at the press conference presenting the IMF report. The reality is that foreign trade in Latin America had its worst performance in 2020 since the Great Recession (2008), collapsing 13%, but the drop was 10 points less than expected due to the rebound in demand in the main partners of the region, especially China, according to a study by the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC). The three major economies of Latin America, Brazil, Mexico and Argentina, will grow this year 3.7%, 5%, and 5.8%, respectively, according to the IMF. Brazil and Mexico, benefited by the US stimulus. Regarding the main economies of the region, Gopinath and the deputy director of the IMF's Research Department, Petya Koeva Brooks, argued that the Brazilian and Mexican economies will be one of the “main beneficiaries” of the fiscal stimulus package launched by President Joe Biden. In U.S.A. "Mexico will be one of the main beneficiaries of the rescue package of 1.9 trillion dollars of the Biden Administration," Gopinath said in this regard, after Brooks, also present at the press conference, affirmed the own of Brazil. Despite the positive impact of the US fiscal stimulus, Gopinath considered that Brazil's priority should be vaccination, the rate of which "should be much higher than the current one." In this regard, the IMF also warns in the report that the longer-term prospects "continue to depend on the trajectory of the pandemic." "With some exceptions - such as Chile, Costa Rica, Mexico - most of the countries have not obtained enough vaccines to cover their po[CENSORED]tions," the multilateral organization highlights in its document, which analyzes the economic outlook for the entire world. The Caribbean continues to be affected by little tourism Beyond the large economies of the region, the IMF revised down the 2021 projections for the Caribbean region, highly dependent on tourism, one of the sectors most affected by the coronavirus pandemic globally. Thus, the Fund cut its forecast for the Caribbean by 1.5 points, to 2.4%. Other Latin American countries, such as Colombia, Chile and Peru, will advance 5.1%, 6.2%, and 8.5%, respectively. On the contrary, Venezuela will suffer an economic contraction of 10%. The IMF is holding its spring meeting this week with the World Bank, again virtually due to the pandemic, in which economic leaders will discuss the main global challenges.

As vaccination efforts increase internationally, Russia reported that they have just registered their "world's first veterinary vaccine" that fights COVID-19 in animals. This is Carnivac-Kov, a formula developed by the Federal Center for Animal Health (FGBI), a branch of Rosselkhoznadzor, the veterinary health authority in Russia. According to the agency, this vaccine is ready for mass production and they plan to manufacture around 10,000 doses per day, IFLScience reported. The two doses of this formula cost $ 7.72 USD. Carnivac-Kov clinical trials began in August 2020 with cats, dogs, mink, and ferrets. In October 2020, more tests were conducted on more dogs and cats, as well as other fur-bearing species, such as Arctic foxes. The reports claim that the investigation was successful, although the data was not published. "The results of the research allow us to conclude that the vaccine is harmless and its high immunogenic activity, since all the vaccinated animals tested in 100% of the cases developed antibodies against the Coronavirus," said Konstantin Savenkov, deputy director of Rosselkhoznadzor. The formula is not recommended for pregnant or just calving animals, animals less than two months old, or clinically ill animals. On the other hand, in the United States, clinical trials of a veterinary vaccine against Covid-19 developed by Zoetis are being carried out. So far tests have been done on apes at the San Diego Zoo, but it's unclear if the formula will be commercially available in the near future. Despite the fact that Covid-19 in animals does not pose a risk to public health, pet owners in Russia now have the possibility to vaccinate their animals to prevent them from getting sick from the virus. As of March 2, 2021, SARS-CoV-2 infections had been confirmed in at least 115 cats, 81 dogs, as well as 27 large cats and 3 gorillas in captivity; according to the US Veterinary Medical Association. Some studies indicate that the virus could cause heart problems in domestic dogs and cats. However, there are few reports of pets becoming seriously ill from the Coronavirus and these animals do not pose a risk of transmission to humans.

Volkswagen's ID range has been a catalyst for its commercial offensive. Thanks to the development of the new MEB platform, they have been able to create a family of models that ranges from the B segment to the competitive E segment. Among them there is a very special one that takes us back to the brand's golden age. We refer to the Volkswagen ID Buzz, a van that, thanks to its charming design, has managed to penetrate the hearts of fans of the brand. When we saw the Volkswagen ID Buzz for the first time, we were pleasantly surprised, especially by the great resemblance of its design to the T1. However, it was not until later that they confirmed their arrival on the assembly line. Shortly after, they announced that their production would take place exclusively in Germany and, now, they are taking another step forward. The brand has confirmed that it will be sold in the US, daring to give an exact date. Do you know which? The landing of the Volkswagen ID Buzz in the United States will be in 2024 Thanks to various sources, including Car & Driver, we have learned about the plans that the German consortium has for the Volkswagen ID Buzz. It has been Carsten Intra, head of Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles USA, who has announced the date on which it will start its sale in the US. If all goes according to plan, the first market to receive it will be Europe. This will occur in early 2022 and later, in mid-2023, it will reach the other side of the pond. In addition, Intra wanted to comment on the way in which the range will be made up. Customers in Europe will be able to choose between two versions: passenger and cargo. However, the Americans will have to settle for the former. The reason why they would have made this decision is not clear, although there are sources that suggest that it was due to tariffs. Apparently, this type of vehicle must pay a 25% tax to enter the country. As a complement, Intra reported that in the US only versions with a short wheelbase will be available. Finally, he reconfirmed what we have all known for a long time. The Volkswagen ID Buzz does not yet have a definitive trade name. This and many more data will be public when 2022 approaches and the date of its world debut. We are expectant, because we want to know how much it changes.
