Israel and the United Kingdom towards herd immunity, Covid is gone?

by admin

Israel may have achieved “some kind of herd immunity”. And the UK opens non-essential businesses tomorrow, from restaurants to pubs. They are the first two countries in the world that are emerging from the contagion nightmare. How did they do it? The first response is linked to the use of a pushed vaccination campaign. With one difference, the type of vaccine: Pfizer for Israel and AstraZeneca for the UK.

That the state in the Middle East is heading towards immunity, so as to further loosen the restrictive measures, says expert Eran Segal, computational biologist at the Weizmann Institute of Science, one of the most prestigious research centers in the world. Interviewed by Channel 12, Segal explained that “it is possible that Israel has achieved some sort of herd immunity and, in any case, we have a wide safety net”. Even the only 86 cases of contagion in the last 24 hours speak volumes. So beaches and discos filled up.

Tel Aviv, back to the disco without a mask and distancing: the effects of the vaccine in Israel

There is dancing, there is a party, in the parks young people do not have problems meeting and, now that the summer is reigning, it is not difficult to run into many of them sraiati for a relaxing moment in the sun. “I think this makes it possible to remove some of the restrictions immediately,” Segal continues. If the milestone is confirmed, Israel could be the first country in the world to achieve herd immunity. so much so that the Middle Eastern nation could cancel the obligation to wear a mask starting next week and the green light for 20 people on university campuses.

The vaccination passport

Obviously not everyone can enter the disco or restaurant without devices or without adopting the obvious countermeasures, starting with distancing. Return to normal life in Israel is allowed for those with a vaccination passport. Who is it granted to? To those who have already had the vaccine or have had Covid.

The English case

Israel’s primacy is “disputed” with the United Kingdom: last week, researchers from University College London declared that Britain will achieve herd immunity tomorrow, April 12. Strengthened by one of the fastest vaccination campaigns in the world, tomorrow, in fact, for the United Kingdom it will be another key day for post-pandemic reopening: in particular pubs and restaurants will be able to start serving customers again, as long as they are outdoors.

And in the UK people are already thinking about holidays. According to data collected by the Caterer.com hospitality industry website, four million people have already booked an appointment for the next few weeks. Prime Minister Boris Johnson had also promised his first public outing in a pub tomorrow, but after the death of Prince Philip, when the country entered a week of mourning, he made it known that he had given up on his plans: his first pint of beer in public will have to wait. We must remember the situation in which the United Kingdom found itself, only three months ago: the negative record was reached on 13 January, with 1,564 deaths and 47,525. Today, thanks to a pushed vaccination campaign (all over 60 vaccinated with one dose), the British are emerging from their nightmare.
