Sir Keir Starmer on who should be put 'at front of the queue' for Covid tests

the number of schools to confirm Covid cases has now reached 177 - two schools have closed entirely. Almost 800 pupils in Tameside alone have been told they need to isolate after confirmed coronavirus cases in the borough’s schools in the last two weeks.Sir Keir said the move was essential so that schoolchildren don't miss out on any more of their education as schooling has already been disrupted during lockdown.A shortage of tests has meant that pupils have been unable to return to the classroom as they await results.“If the Prime Minister does not get a grip of the testing crisis, children will be robbed of an education.

Climate change may accelerate spread of West Nile virus

The model suggests that the optimum temperature for transmission is 24–25°C (75.2–77°F). Around 70% of the U.S. population live in regions where summer temperatures are currently below this range, whereas 30% live in areas above the range.The authors write in the journal eLife, “we might expect a net increase in transmission of West Nile virus in response to the warming climate, even as hot temperatures suppress transmission in some places.”“As the climate warms, it is critical to understand how temperature changes will affect the transmission of mosquito-borne diseases,” says lead author Marta Shocket, who was a postdoctoral fellow at Stanford when the models were developed and is now a postdoctoral researcher at the University of

Stay informed with live updates on the current COVID-19 outbreak and visit our coronavirus hub for more advice on prevention and treatment.In Wisconsin, for example, the new study suggests that non-Hispanic Black people accounted for 36% of all COVID-19 deaths, despite making up only 6% of the state’s population. However, the analysis also demonstrates that non-Hispanic Black people were more likely to be working in most of the essential occupations.
