It was only a matter of time for researchers to accept what has previously been a better alternative than the one-size-fit-all vaccines which could mark the beginning of continuous shots. Cannabis - a plant that has been in the forefront of legal and policy issues has proven once again to be the real deal in prevention and treatment of Covid-19 and its variants. The study is titled, “Effect of cannabidiol on apoptosis and cellular interferon and interferon-stimulated gene responses to the SARS-CoV-2 genes ORF8, ORF10 and M protein. According to US experts, cannabis compounds have the ability to block the virus that causes Covid-19 from entering human cells. The Journal of Natural Products released a research titled "Cannabinoids Block Cellular Entry of SARS-CoV-2 and Emerging Variants." Synthetic cannabidiol, a nonpsychoactive chemical present in the cannabis plant, appears to prime cells' innate immune systems, potentially protecting them from infections li

DeltaCron Covid Variant: What You Need To Know

A novel coronavirus strain has been discovered that contains features from both the Delta and Omicron variants. Leondios Kostrikis, professor of biological sciences and head of the Laboratory of Biotechnology and Molecular Virology at the University of Cyprus, has given the novel COVID-19 strain discovered in Cyprus the name "Deltacron." The discovery was named Deltacron due to the identification of omicron-like genetic signatures within the delta genomes," according to Kostrikis. However, the most recent SARS-CoV-2 variant, which possesses Omicron-like genetic markers within Delta genomes, may not constitute a severe threat. Experts, according to numerous media reports, do not believe it is a cause for alarm at this time, especially since researchers have not to determine whether it is more pathological or communicable, or if it will survive. Some have even suggested that the Deltacron strain isn't a true SARS-CoV-2 variation at all. "So when novel
