UK to launch vaccine trials on COVID-19 LONDON: British clinical trials of vaccines against new variants of COVID-19 will start in the summer to prepare updated jabs for the autumn if variants evade the current inoculations, the Oxford University vaccine group’s lead researcher has told the UK Parliament. Prof. Sarah Gilbert said her team is producing an initial group of vaccines against new variants that are at least partially resistant to the current jabs being rolled out. https://www.geogebra.org/m/nnpjngke https://www.geogebra.org/m/ywpuk3jg https://www.geogebra.org/m/sfwxpaav https://www.geogebra.org/m/wxtysah9 The new versions of the vaccine are being produced in case COVID-19 variants substantially evade immunity provided by the current jabs. A small trial in South Africa found that a variant that emerged there, and which has since arrived in the UK, is partially resistant to the Oxford vaccine. Vaccines from Novavax and Johnson & Johnson also appear less effective against t...

 Covid: Half with cancer signs didn't contact GP in first wave Almost half of people with potential cancer symptoms did not contact their GP during the first wave of the pandemic, a survey suggests. Symptoms left unchecked included coughing up blood, lumps and changes to the appearance of moles. NHS figures showed a fall in referrals to cancer services last spring. But this study, of almost 8,000 people, captures the fall in people contacting their GP in the first place. The team that carried out the study, from Cardiff University and Cancer Research UK, said this raised concerns that people could be diagnosed later - and so be less likely to be treated successfully and recover. They surveyed a representative sample of people across the UK recruited from two panels - HealthWise Wales and Cancer Research UK's Cancer Awareness Measure - between March and August 2020. The team found that of the 3,025 people who said they had experienced at least one symptom which could be ...

 Number of UK Covid vaccinations falls The number of Covid vaccines administered in the UK has fallen by over a third in the last week as ministers warned of a short-term dip in supply coupled with stockpiling to ensure people get second doses within the recommended 12-week limit. The latest data showed 192,341 people received a first jab on Monday, the second-lowest daily total since 17 January – taking the number of people in Britain who have had an initial Covid vaccination to 17.9 million. https://www.getrevue.co/profile/superman-and-lois-episode-1 https://www.getrevue.co/profile/superman-and-lois-s01e01-online https://www.getrevue.co/profile/superman-lois-s1-episode-1 https://s05e06-riverdale.8b.io/ https://s5e6-riverdale.8b.io/ On Sunday the number of vaccinations was 141,719, the lowest figure since the UK daily count began on 10 January. Taken together, the total for the past two days is 35% lower than the equivalent figures last week. Matt Hancock, the health secretar...

 Covid-19: PM promises review on issues of vaccine passports There are "deep and complex issues" with using vaccine passports or certificates to prove someone's Covid "status", Boris Johnson has said. Announcing a review of the proposal, he said using certificates to allow visits to venues such as pubs and theatres was a "novelty for our country". https://temptation-island-s03e02.8b.io/ https://queen-sugar-s05e02.8b.io/ https://snowfall-s04e01.8b.io/ https://riverdale-s5e6-online.8b.io/ https://good-trouble-s03e02.8b.io/ https://vikings-s6e19.8b.io/ Cabinet Office Minister Michael Gove will lead the review. Mr Johnson said he was "very optimistic" most Covid restrictions in England can be lifted on 21 June. Vaccine passports have been discussed by countries, including Greece, and operators such as Saga Cruises, as a way to safely reopen international leisure travel. But ministers have frequently appeared to dismiss introducing a simila...

 As covid-19 death toll nears 500,000 A spate of high-profile assaults on Asian Americans has renewed long-standing criticism from Democrats and civil rights groups that the U.S. government is vastly undercounting hate crimes, a problem that they say has grown more acute amid rising white nationalism and deepening racial strife. The attacks — including several in Northern California over the past month that attracted national attention — followed months of warnings from advocates that anti­-China rhetoric from former president Donald Trump over the coronavirus pandemic was contributing to a surge in anti-Asian slurs and violence. https://superman-and-lois-s1e01.8b.io/ https://young-rock-s1e2-online.8b.io/ https://this-is-us-s05e09-online.8b.io/ https://superman-and-lois-s01e1.8b.io/ https://ginny-and-georgia-s01e01.8b.io/ https://black-ish-s07e13.8b.io/ Although President Biden last month signed an executive action banning the federal government from employing the sort of “infl...

 Britain's next answer to COVID-19 is to prepare to live Britain’s success at vaccinating faster than anywhere else in Europe is putting pressure on Prime Minister Boris Johnson to figure out what comes next. While Israel is emerging as the global test case for a country’s ability to inoculate its way out of COVID-19, the U.K. is a pilot for whether nations can do enough to end damaging lockdowns and essentially learn to live with the disease. https://superman-and-lois-s01e01.8b.io/ https://superman-and-lois-s1e1.8b.io/ https://superman-and-lois-online.8b.io/ The key, Johnson believes, lies with mass testing in workplaces, schools, shopping centers and theaters to make sure that employees, pupils and customers are free of the virus. He’s expected to set out details in a statement to Parliament on Monday as part of a “road map” out of lockdown, and some companies in retail and hospitality are already gearing up. Hundreds of thousands of tests could be sent out by post every day...
