NeoCov: Need Research Study says WHO

The World Health Organisation said that the NeoCov COVID-19 variant discovered by the Chinese needs more study. "Our study demonstrates the first case of ACE2 usage in MERS-related viruses, shedding light on a potential bio-safety threat of the human emergence of an ACE2 using "MERS-CoV-2" with both high fatality and transmission rate," the scientists wrote. "Whether the virus detected in the study will pose a risk for humans will require further study," Russian news agency TASS said while quoting WHO.

Coronaviruses are often found in animals, including in bats which have been identified as a natural reservoir of many of these viruses," WHO said.

A new variant NeoCov has been found in some parts. Scientists from Wuhan where COVID-19 originated have said it may have a higher transmission rate compared to the previous strains and could potentially be the deadliest of them all. "Immunity triggered by prior infection or vaccination of other coronaviruses might be inadequate to protect humans from NeoCoV and PDF-2180-CoV infections because neither SARS-CoV-2 anti-sera nor ten tested anti-MERS-CoV nanobodies can cross-inhibit the infection caused by these two viruses," the researchers said.

The US has sanctioned Russian banks with a combined asset value of $1 trillion.

In the aftermath of the invasion of Ukraine, President Biden imposed further penalties on Russian banks on Thursday, but he did not follow through on his warning to sanction Vladimir Putin directly or cut Russia out from the international banking system totally. Biden told reporters at the White House, "We've now sanctioned Russian banks that collectively control around $1 trillion in assets." The US had already shut Russia's largest bank off from the US financial system, according to Biden. "We're also blocking four more large banks today." That means all of their assets in America will be blocked," Biden explained. VTB, Russia's second-largest bank with $250 billion in assets, is one of the newly sanctioned banks. The United States, on the other hand, did not block Russian access to the SWIFT system (Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication). The SWIFT system, which is run by the Belgian National Bank, is used for a substant...
