The Museum of Homelessness (MoH), a community-driven organisation which runs the Dying Homeless Project, called for action to prevent a repeat of such “terrible loss of life”.

Is 12 weeks between Covid jabs too long? David Spiegelhalter and Anthony Masters © Provided by The Guardian Photograph: Murdo MacLeod/The Observer The UK has a controversial policy of giving second doses of coronavirus vaccine 12 weeks after the first dose, rather than the three-week gap used in other countries.

After nearly a year since the first Covid lockdown, some of these raves have grown beyond being just livestreams. One virtual nightclub launched in January, called NVY, allows people to shake their hips on a Zoom dancefloor in front of a DJ, professional dancer and fellow clubbers, who will also be dancing in their living rooms.
