Three in 10 Britons have stayed at home to avoid Covid in the last month and more than 40% have worn a face mask as fears about the virus persist, a survey suggests. But the latest wave appears to be already peaking.
The COVID-19 pandemic is "nowhere near over", warns WHO Director-General Tedros, as he urges governments to reintroduce measures like face masks to "push back" against a rise in global Covid infections.
Britain could return to its disastrous 'protect the NHS' Covid policy if the latest spike in infections and admissions impedes the health service's ability to treat other conditions, a Government minister has said.
Hospitals have brought back face masks and social distancing following a recent surge in Covid infections and hospitalisations, despite two thirds of Covid admissions being treated primarily for something else.
Almost all teachers believed that closing schools was right and remote teaching was possible. Pupils have been cowed into compliance when what they really need is to learn to think for themselves.

Now that the virus has become endemic, it is time to move on. But it is not time to forget. For if we forget we are in danger of repeating this horrifying experiment.
Dr. Anthony Fauci, the leader of the U.S. Government’s Covid pandemic response effort, has tested positive for the coronavirus despite being vaccinated four times.
