Here’s a report through Nicola Davis and Pamela Duncan about deaths at home in England:
About a third more deaths in England occur at home than before the Covid-19 pandemic, knowledge has revealed, most of which are due to reasons other than coronavirus.
In April, the UK government began a crusade to inspire others in in poor health situations to see a doctor amid a warning that assistance in the emergency room had declined. Ailments continue to avoid hospitals.
Figures from the Office of National Statistics (ONS) show that even after the peak of Covid’s first wave, house deaths were higher than the five-year average, with about one-third of the additional deaths recorded, a proportion that has remained largely solid since mid-June. Deaths at home also remained at the top in Wales.

Twitter erased a tweet from Scott Atlas, a debatable scientist who has Donald Trump’s Ear, in which he falsely claims that the mask does not oppose the coronavirus.
The Washington Post reported that Atlas had dispersed discord in the White House, infessing Deborah Birx, the coronavirus reaction coordinator, so much that she complained to Vice President Mike Pence, asking atlas to retire.
The Post reported that at an assembly in the Oval Office, Atlas stood firm at the table after Trump left the room. The scientist, a high-ranking member of Stanford’s conservative Hoover Institution, denied the story.
On Sunday, Twitter got rid of the tweet in which Atlas said: “Does the mask work? NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO The corporate claimed that the message violated its Covid-19 disinformation policy, which prohibits” sharing false information or misleading content that may cause harm. “
According to a study conducted by the Indian Institute of Sciences in Bengaluru, intensive care sets (ICS) in hospitals treating Patients with Covid-19 remove air conditioning to restrict the threat of infecting doctors.
Reuters reports:
Frontline fitness personnel around the world have suffered the effects of the coronavirus crisis. More than 500 doctors have died from Covid-19 in India, the country most affected at the time in the world, as infections are successful at nearly 8 million, making the country’s public fitness system weak and under-funded.
“Recirculation of air through centralized air conditioning systems is what has led to the primary infection of our committed medical fraternity and has also led to the deaths of doctors and nurses,” the study said through the Indian Institute of Sciences in Bangalore. of the country’s clinical universities, he said.
Reducing air recirculation and expanding air use can lessen the threat of coronavirus spread indoors, the World Health Organization said.

The Chinese fitness government investigating a recent covid-19 outbreak says they have discovered a live coronavirus in the frozen food packaging, a discovery that suggests the virus would possibly be in bloodless chains of origin.
On Saturday, the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said it had discovered Covid-19 lines living in frozen cod packaging in the eastern coastal city of Qingdao, marking the first detection of a coronavirus living in refrigerated products. . Investigators were investigating the source of a recent hospital-like case organization in Qingdao.
Genetic lines have already been discovered in frozen food samples, but no viruses have been isolated before.
“Contact with outdoor containers infected with the new coronavirus has been shown to cause infection,” she said on one on her website, without specifying where the batch of frozen food came from.
China, which until the Qingdao epidemic had not recorded new local cases in 55 days, was one of the few countries to report a imaginable transmission through frozen food. When Beijing had a momentary outbreak in June after the virus was largely contained, officials reported that the new group would possibly have come from imported salmon.
The U. S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has been in the process ofBut it’s not the first time They stated that there is no evidence that “food handling or intake is related to Covid-19”. New Zealand brazened the option that one of its first infections occurred in a bloodless garage facility.

Lithuanians voted at the time of a national election on Monday, and some voted from their cars in special car-service polling stations amid a local peak in Covid-19.
Voters arrived in their cars according to instructions, used mask and cast their votes at the polling station, AP reported.
In Lithuania there are 4 of these schools; only those who are remote and registered on an official list can vote this way until Thursday; all other registered voters can vote in the circular of the moment at normal polling stations on 25 October.
In the UK, British Airways’ new executive leader, Sean Doyle, today suggested that the British government end the quarantine of passengers arriving in the middle of the pandemic.
“We want to revive the economy and it’s not imaginable when you ask others to quarantine others for 14 days,” Doyle said at an online aviation conference, a week after replacing Alex Cruz as chief executive of British Airways, the AFP reports.
“If we take a look at our close neighbors abroad, we find that business and even tourism are a priority for some countries,” added Doyle.
Addressing the same event, UK Transport Secretary Grant Shapps said the government is contemplating introducing viral control in parallel with a shorter quarantine period.
“My ministerial colleagues and I have agreed on a plan, in a bachelor’s check provided through the personal sector and in charge of the passenger, after an era of self-de-assurance.
He added: “This will mean a bachelor for foreign arrivals, a week after arrival. “
However, Doyle was not convinced and said at the conference: “We who even if this era of quarantine is reduced to seven days, other people will not travel here and the UK will be left behind. “
The United Nations says it will buy one billion syringes worldwide by the end of 2021, which will be used for the delivery of any long-term coronavirus vaccine.
Unicef of the United Nations Children’s Fund has announced its goal of unloading 520 million syringes from its warehouses until the end of the year, to an initial source for pre-vaccine countries.
Unicef Executive Director Henrietta Fore said:
Vaccinating the global opposite to Covid-19 will be one of the largest corporations in human history, and we will have to act as temporarily as vaccines can be produced.
To get through quickly later, we have to do it fast now. By the end of the year, we will already have more than one billion pre-placed syringes where they can be deployed temporarily and economically. There are enough syringes to pass once around the world. and part of it.
At least part of India’s 1. 3 billion people will likely have become inflamed with coronavirus until next February, slowing the spread of the disease, a committee member said Monday. guilty of the federal government for offering projections.
India has so far reported 7. 55 million cases and only ranks the United States in terms of general infections.
But Covid-19 infections are shrinking in India after peaking in mid-September, with an average of 61,390 new cases reported per day, according to a Reuters count.
“Our mathematical style estimates that about 30% of the population is inflamed lately and can succeed by 50% through February,” Reuters Manindra Agrawal, a professor at the Indian Institute of Technology in Kanpur and a committee member, told Reuters.
The committee’s estimate of the existing spread of the virus is much higher than the federal government’s serological surveys, which showed that about 14% of the population had become inflamed in September.
But Agrawal said serological surveys might not be to get the right pattern because of the extent of the population they were investigating.
Instead, the committee of virologists, scientists and other experts, whose report was published on Sunday, was based on a mathematical model.
Experts have warned that infections may be accumulating in India in the run-up to the holiday, with celebrations for the Durga Puja and Diwali Hindu festivals this month and mid-November, respectively.
