09.45. Oxford experts will test the possible coronavirus vaccine in Brazil
The possible coronavirus vaccine in which scientists from the English University of Oxford work will be tested in Brazil by the level of infection in that country and to determine its effectiveness, according to The Times . Experts from the Jenner Institute of that university began developing the vaccine last January in chimpanzees, and are currently working on the clinical phases. With the decline in coronavirus cases in the UK, scientists need a site with higher virus infection to demonstrate whether or not it is effective.
The CEO of the pharmaceutical company AstraZeneca, Pascal Soriot, whose company has reached an agreement with Oxford to eventually manufacture millions of doses, told the aforementioned newspaper that the biggest problem now is that "the disease is going down," so "they are looking for evil in many parts of the world. " Soriot announced that next August it will be known if the vaccine in which Oxford works is effective .
09.10. Five different numbers of deaths from coronavirus
How many people have died in Spain from the coronavirus pandemic ? The key question in this health crisis should have an answer, a single answer. However, today there are at least three different official figures - Ministry of Health, World Health Organization (WHO) and the European Center for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) - and two other estimates that point to larger numbers. than those offered by the health authorities, report Raúl Piña and Álvaro Carvajal .
Of the 27,133 deaths that Health offered this Thursday to the 29,858 deaths that the WHO collects on its website or the estimate of an excess of 48,000 deaths during the pandemic that the National Institute of Statistics (INE) points out. A dance of figures that sows confusion and also discomfort in researchers (epidemiologists, mathematicians). Depending on the source we use, we can obtain a different number of deaths in Spain from the Covid-19 . All of them offered by official organizations.
09.08. Industrial production suffers in April the biggest drop in the historical series due to the coronavirus
Industrial production fell by 33.6% in April compared to the same month of 2019, the largest decrease in the historical series, in a month marked by the confinement and closure of non-essential activities due to the coronavirus pandemic .

The extraordinary meeting of the Council of Ministers this Friday will approve the royal decree that establishes the sixth and last extension of the state of alarm for the coronavirus that will be in force from June 8 to 21. After receiving the necessary authorization from Congress this Wednesday, the Executive fulfills the following procedure so that the state of alarm decreed on March 14 to combat the Covid-19 pandemic continues.

07.58. Human protein fragment found in coronavirus
Indian and American scientists have found that the new coronavirus contains an insert identical to a part of a human protein, according to research published in the journal eLife . The researchers analyzed the S1 / S2 fragment, unique to Covid-19, which does not exist in the previous coronavirus strains and is responsible for the pathogen's penetration into the cell. In that fragment, the researchers identified the RRARSVAS peptide, which is "absent in more than 13,000 different coronavirus S-proteins from covid-19 in the VIPR database."
"Surprisingly, examination of more than 10 million peptides [...] from 20,350 human proteins shows [...] that the peptide of interest (RRARSVAS) is exclusively present in the human [ENaC-protein], which it regulates electrolyte balance, playing "a key role in controlling water reabsorption at the air-liquid interface," the research indicates. "This suggests that SARS-CoV-2 may have evolved specifically to mimic a human protease substrate," the study adds. According to Dr. Mikhail Schelkánov, from the University of the Far East of Russia, the presence in SARS-CoV-2 of that unique protein is the result of "a normal process of the evolution of the virus".

07.34. The risk of a second wave of choroanviruses is high in France
The risk of France suffering a second wave of coronavirus is "extremely high", because the number of people susceptible to transmitting it is still high and that of immunized people is very low, according to a study published this Friday. For this reason, the authors of the report, prepared by scientists from the National Institute for Agricultural and Environmental Research (Inrae) and published in the journal "Frontiers in medicine", encourage them to proceed with caution in de-escalation and to promote measures of social distance and hygiene . Through the application of complex mathematical models and statistical projections not used until now in health situations, the researchers have concluded that in early May, when the confinement of the population ended, there were still some 100,000 infectious cases.

Patients with high blood pressure admitted to the hospital by coronavirus are twice as likely to die as those without this condition, according to a study published in the European Heart Journal . "It is important for patients with hypertension to realize that they are at increased risk of death from Covid-19," says study author Fei Li of Xijing Hospital in Xian, central China. Hypertensive patients who have stopped taking the treatment are even more likely to die from the new coronavirus once hospitalized, compared to those taking the drugs, according to this study.
