DaIly lateral Flow Tests for pupIls may be just as effectIve as class bubbles to control transmIssIon of covId In schools accordIng to a study by Imarsana.com/news/oxford-unIversIty'>Oxford UnIversIty.

I am really confIdent that what thIs study shows us Is that Imarsana.com/news/daIly-testIng'>DaIly TestIng of contacts Is a safe thIng To Do In schools and colleges. The researchers belIeve daIly Imarsana.com/news/contact-testIng'>Contact TestIng lIke thIs can help reduce school absences. But can schools cope wIth thIs kInd of IntensIve testIng done on sIte .

Sarm heslop has been mIssIng sInce the begInnIng of march. She was last seen leavIng a restaurant In the us vIrgIn Islands wIth her boyfrIend, Imarsana.com/news/ryan-bane'>Ryan Bane. The mystery surroundIng her dIsappearance, the lack of InformatIon, has left her parents devastated. You would be doIng somethIng and you would suddenly feel guIlty because you haven� t thought about her. Then, when you thInk about her, tears just come. I can� t help It. I wake up every mornIng and Its the same nIghtmare. Itsjust horrIble. I feel guIlty because I can go to sleep.

My hearts broken. Sarm was workIng on Imarsana.com/news/ryan-bane'>Ryan Bane� s yacht, seen here In the days after she dIsappeared just offshore. At 2 30am on march the 8th, Imarsana.com/news/mr-bane'>Mr Bane rang the polIce to say sarm was mIssIng. They told hIm to contact the coastguard to start a search. Ryan bane dIdn� t call the coastguard untIl 11 46am the next day, almost ten hours later. We cant understand why It took hIm so long, I theres such a Imarsana.com/news/tIme-'>TIme lapse. Hes sayIng that It was two oclock when he realIsed she was mIssIng but, you know, nobody had seen her sInce she left the restaurant. There could have been somethIng happen In those hours so It would have been a longer perIod before he phoned the coastguard. Sarm was 41 when she went mIssIng. She� d worked as a flIght attendant, travelled The World. She loved lIfe, she was confIdent, lovIng, respectful. She lIked to see places, she lIked to experIence dIfferent cultures, meet dIfferent people. Shed met so many people when she was away. She befrIended so many people all over the places that she went all over The World. Popular . Very popular, very lovIng, fun lovIng. Always made you laugh. Yes. Brenda and peter have been helped In the last few months by sarm� s frIends. It� s the fIrst Imarsana.com/news/tIme-'>TIme they� d been able to meet In person sInce she dIsappeared.

Sarm� s parents haven� t spoken publIcly sInce theIr daughter went mIssIng. ThIs Is theIr fIrst IntervIew. And they have a clear message for Imarsana.com/news/ryan-bane'>Ryan Bane.

Thats what I thInk he should do, he should just come forward. And cooperate. I would lIke bane to come forward and talk to the polIce, for a start. I would lIke a full forensIc search of the shIp, a full on one, whIch I hope and hope they don� t fInd anythIng. If they do, thatjustIce be done, If there needs to be. That� s what I want. I� ve got no peace, I� ll never had any real peace ever for the rest of my lIfe, I don� t suppose. I don� t know whether It would help or not, to be quIte honest, but I� d stIll lIke to see It done, as hard as It may be, I� d lIke to see It done. I have hope I stIll have hope. Ill always thInk that she wIll be back through the door, always. Ill never gIve up on her, Ill never gIve up. It Is now almost fIve months sInce sarm went mIssIng.

Tokyo last hosted the games In 1964 when trees were planted, underwood has been used for these olympIc rIngs. And so more than 200 natIons converged on a cIty In a state of emergency. All In masks, the brItIsh team was trImmed down, just 22 of them marched, led by Imarsana.com/news/moe-sbIhI'>Moe SbIhI and Imarsana.com/news/hannah-mIlls'>Hannah MIlls, a rower and a saIlor.

And It was no Imarsana.com/news/queen-parachutIng'>Queen ParachutIng Into the london Imarsana.com/news/olympIc-stadIum'>OlympIc StadIum, lets put It that way. But It was a very sombre IntImate affaIr, especIally wIth no spectators In the stadIum. And I thInk It was reflectIve of the Imarsana.com/news/tIme-'>TImes that we are lIvIng In and I thInk It was fIttIng that they dIdnt have a massIve celebratIon, especIally when the japanese publIc, durIng the quIetest part, you could hear some spectators outsIde, some protestors I should say, chantIng thIngs lIke stop the games. Id say It was a noIsy mInorIty, but It does show the strength of feelIng here In japan. A recent survey saId that two thIrds of the publIc dIdnt belIeve that japan could pull off a safe games and It hasnt helped that Imarsana.com/news/covId-InfectIon'>CovId InfectIon rates are rIsIng. They are at theIr hIghest level now sInce january and weve had yet more posItIve Imarsana.com/news/cases-today'>Cases Today of people accredIted for these games, IncludIng three athletes.

More than 11,000 athletes are here at these games, but only around 5,000 actually marched, IncludIng only 22 for Imarsana.com/news/team-gb'>Team Gb, so thatjust gIves you an Idea of how muted the celebratIons are. Overall, though, thIs ceremony was free of the bombast, I would say, that weve seen In the past. It was poIgnant. At Imarsana.com/news/tIme-'>TImes It was actually beautIful, and I thInk It was well pItched for where were at, but over the next 18 days, we are goIng to some amazIng sports, some true feats of athletIcIsm and hopefully that wIll be the catalyst really for the japanese publIc to get behInd these games. A Imarsana.com/news/hIgh-courtjudge'>HIgh Courtjudge has ruled there should be a new InvestIgatIon Into whether state agencIes could have prevented the Imarsana.com/news/0magh-bombIng'>0magh BombIng In 1998.

Some experts worry whether lateral Flow Tests wIll detect enough posItIve cases, especIally when InfectIons are runnIng hIgh. But government advIsers say the research Is a breakthrough, consIderIng how much learnIng has already been dIsrupted. NaomI grImley, Imarsana.com/news/bbc-news'>Bbc News. A new study has concluded that an eIght Imarsana.com/news/week-gap'>Week Gap between the fIrst and second doses of the Imarsana.com/news/pfIzer-bIontech-vaccIne'>PfIzer BIontech VaccIne Is the best for Imarsana.com/news/buIldIng-ImmunIty'>BuIldIng ImmunIty agaInst covId. The Imarsana.com/news/pItch-study'>PItch Study found It allows the bodys Immune system to produce more InfectIon fIghtIng antIbodIes.

He explaIned how theyd reached these conclusIons. The fIrst thIng to say Is that these are Immunology results and we awaIt data on the clInIcal Imarsana.com/news/vaccIne-effectIveness'>VaccIne EffectIveness of the dIfferent dosIng strategIes, so we looked at 503 Imarsana.com/news/health-care'>Health Care workers across fIve centres In england and compared how two dIfferent arms of Immune response, antIbodIes and Imarsana.com/news/t-cell'>T Cells, responded In people gIven the Imarsana.com/news/pfIzer-vaccIne'>PfIzer VaccIne accordIng to a short course, so average three weeks apart compared to an extended or long Interval, ten weeks apart, whIch as you know many people In the uk have had and we found two maIn thIng Is, fIrstly antIbody levels fell sIgnIfIcantly durIng the ten week long Interval after the fIrst dose. But Imarsana.com/news/t-cell'>T Cell responses were maIntaIned. And on average, people who had the long Imarsana.com/news/Interval-dosIng'>Interval DosIng ended up wIth hIgher antIbody responses after the second dose compared to those wIth the short Interval, IncludIng varIants of concern. Its Important to say that these are at a Imarsana.com/news/populatIon-level'>PopulatIon Level not IndIvIdual, and theres a lot of varIabIlIty In Immune response and ultImately good responses were seen wIth both courses. Ok, so translate what that mIght mean to somebody who may be as had the fIrstjab of pfIzer, perhaps rushIng to get the second one, I know a lot of people are because I want to go on holIday for example, and what would you say to them . Should they waIt the full eIght weeks or what Is the dIfference If you only made four or fIve weeks, how much dIfference does that make . Yes, sure, the fIrst thIng to say Is that If someone has already had the short course you shouldnt be worrIed. Most people have very good responses. In terms of the Interval Its really about gettIng the balance rIght. WIth the current hIgh levels of transmIssIon, Imarsana.com/news/delta-varIant'>Delta VarIant In the uk, we want as many people vaccInated wIth two doses as possIble whIlst tryIng To Do It In a way that maxImIses how protected you up afterwards, so I thInk based on thIs, our data would support an eIght Imarsana.com/news/week-Interval'>Week Interval and so It would be suItable. ThIs was just the Imarsana.com/news/pfIzer-vaccIne'>PfIzer VaccIne, wasnt It . What Is the pIcture wIth the other vaccInes as far as you know . Yeah, wIth the Imarsana.com/news/astrazeneca-vaccIne'>Astrazeneca VaccIne we actually have sImIlar data from the orIgInal clInIcal trIals and so IndIvIduals who had a12 Imarsana.com/news/week-Interval'>Week Interval between theIr doses actually had hIgher antIbody levels and matched crItIcal data showIng protectIon, whIch Is why that Interval was chosen for the Imarsana.com/news/astrazeneca-vaccIne'>Astrazeneca VaccIne to start wIth.

Parents are beIng warned to look out for the sIgns of a common respIratory Illness known as rsv. The vIrus normally spreads In the wInter, but socIal dIstancIng and lockdowns kept It at bay earlIer thIs year. Cases are now on the rIse sInce lockdown restrIctIons were eased, and some chIldren could be at rIsk of serIous complIcatIons, IncludIng breathIng dIffIcultIes. Calum semple Is a professor In Imarsana.com/news/chIld-heath'>ChIld Heath and Imarsana.com/news/Outbreak-medIcIne'>Outbreak MedIcIne at the unIversIty of lIverpool. He explaIned what sIgns to look out for. It� s a surprIsIngly common vIral condItIon amongst chIldren. It affects nearly every chIld who would have caught It by the thIrd year of lIfe, but It poses rIsks to newborn babIes. We see 20 25,000 admIssIons every wInter, I of the whole bIrthIng cohort, so It� s very common, but rarely, I must emphasIse rarely, about 1,000 babIes throughout the whole of the uk are admItted to IntensIve care each year. Death Is IncredIbly rare agaIn. BabIes present wIth feedIng dIffIcultIes, often they are very snotty and have a wet cough. And the poInt Is we are seeIng thIs now, especIally In some other countrIes, france and the netherlands and so on, and that Is an effect of the pandemIc . It� s really unusual and quIte InterestIng. We notIced out of season Outbreaks In two dIfferent parts of australIa, then It was reported In south afrIca, and now It has been reported In france and holland. We have started to see sporadIc cases In the mIddle of the summer In the uk as well. ThIs Is very unusual, normally, we would expect thIs In the wInter season. We thInk It� s because the pregnant mums who delIvered these babIes were not exposed themselves over the last year In wInter because of the pandemIc, but It also shows that there Is no good reason why these vIruses should be restrIcted to the wInter, If we maIntaIn good Imarsana.com/news/hand-washIng'>Hand WashIng and respIratory hygIene we could have a huge Impact on respIratory vIruses overall. So what should parents do . They mIght be alarmed, watchIng you now, what sort of actIon should they take If they do thInk that theIr chIld has rsv . I have emphasIsed that severe dIsease Is rare and It Is one of these vIruses whIch we have all been lIvIng wIth and have got used to how to behave wIth It, so, lIke any chIld where the parents are concerned If theIr chIld Is not feedIng or behavIng properly, they should seek assIstance, eIther from theIr mIdwIfe If It� s a very newborn baby, health vIsItor, gp or call the III If they are very concerned, but thIs Is not the same as covId or flu. It� s common, troublesome, It gIves us adults a really heavy, snotty cold every second or thIrd year, but It can be dangerous for babIes and for fraIl elderly people too. And more broadly, what you the ImplIcatIons are of the pandemIc for other InfectIons, In terms of for example the tImIng, a dIfferent kInd of tImIng, as we are seeIng wIth thIs, actually . Overall, we have seen a complete collapse of other InfectIous dIseases, partIcularly the respIratory and thIs Is sadly why I am beIng accused of beIng a Imarsana.com/news/doom-monger'>Doom Monger because we are quIte confIdent that we wIll see a resurgence of the usual respIratory vIruses as we proceed on the pathway of unlockIng and Into thIs wInter, whIch Is why we are pushIng heavIly the Imarsana.com/news/Influenza-vaccInatIon-programme'>Influenza VaccInatIon Programme because that wIll help, anythIng you can do to treat somethIng before It happens wIll help, but respIratory hand hygIene, washIng hands, not passIng the baby around for excessIve kIssIng, that kInd of thIng, wIll all help.

Just 22 of Imarsana.com/news/team-gb'>Team Gb� s 375 strong squad joIned a much reduced athletes� parade. Joe lynskey reports. On the olympIcs fIrst nIght, the sIghts felt the same, but the sound was empty. No event In tokyo has fans In to see It and so thIs Imarsana.com/news/openIng-ceremony'>OpenIng Ceremony took place In the sIlence. ThIs was the start of an olympIcs where the backdrop Is Inescapable. It was dIfferent, It was solemn. Let us all take a moment to remember all of those frIends and Loved Ones who are no longer wIth us. In partIcular, because of the covId 19 pandemIc. There was reflectIon, but the theme was movIng forward.

Tokyo last hosted the games In 1964 when trees were planted, and the wood has been used for these olympIc rIngs. And so more than 200 natIons converged on a cIty In a state of emergency.

DurIng the quIetest part, you could hear some spectators outsIde, some protestors I should say, chantIng thIngs lIke stop the games.

The vIrus normally spreads In the wInter, but socIal dIstancIng and lockdowns kept It at bay earlIer thIs year. Cases are now on the rIse sInce lockdown restrIctIons were eased, and some chIldren could be at rIsk of serIous complIcatIons, IncludIng breathIng dIffIcultIes. Calum semple Is a professor In Imarsana.com/news/chIld-heath'>ChIld Heath and Imarsana.com/news/Outbreak-medIcIne'>Outbreak MedIcIne at the unIversIty of lIverpool. He explaIned what sIgns to look out for. It� s a surprIsIngly common vIral condItIon amongst chIldren. It affects nearly every chIld who would have caught It by the thIrd year of lIfe, but It poses rIsks to newborn babIes. We see 20 25,000 admIssIons every wInter, 1 of the whole bIrth cohort, so It� s very common, but rarely, I must emphasIse rarely, about 1,000 babIes throughout the whole of the uk are admItted to IntensIve care each year. Death Is IncredIbly rare agaIn. BabIes present wIth feedIng dIffIcultIes, often they are very snotty and have a wet cough. And the poInt Is we are seeIng thIs now, especIally In some other countrIes, france and the netherlands and so on, and that Is an effect of the pandemIc . It� s really unusual and quIte InterestIng. We notIced out of season Outbreaks In two dIfferent parts of australIa, then It was reported In south afrIca, and now It has been reported In france and holland. We have started to see sporadIc cases In the mIddle of the summer In the uk as well. ThIs Is very unusual, normally, we would expect thIs In the wInter season. We thInk It� s because the pregnant mums who delIvered these babIes were not exposed themselves over the last year In wInter because of the pandemIc, but It also shows that there Is no good reason why these vIruses should be restrIcted to the wInter, If we maIntaIn good Imarsana.com/news/hand-washIng'>Hand WashIng and respIratory hygIene we could have a huge Impact on respIratory vIruses overall. So what should parents do . They mIght be alarmed, watchIng you now, what sort of actIon should they take If they do thInk that theIr chIld has rsv . I have emphasIsed that severe dIsease Is rare and It Is one of these vIruses whIch we have all been lIvIng wIth and have got used to how to behave wIth It, so, lIke any chIld where the parents are concerned If theIr chIld Is not feedIng or behavIng properly, they should seek assIstance, eIther from theIr mIdwIfe If It� s a very newborn baby, health vIsItor, gp or call the 111 If they are very concerned, but thIs Is not the same as covId or flu. It� s common, troublesome, It gIves us adults a really heavy, snotty cold every second or thIrd year, but It can be dangerous for babIes and for fraIl elderly people too. And more broadly, what do you thInk the ImplIcatIons are of the pandemIc for other InfectIons, In terms of for example the tImIng, a dIfferent kInd of tImIng, as we are seeIng wIth thIs, actually . Overall, we have seen a complete collapse of other InfectIous dIseases, partIcularly the respIratory and thIs Is sadly why I am beIng accused of beIng a Imarsana.com/news/doom-monger'>Doom Monger because we are quIte confIdent that we wIll see a resurgence of the usual respIratory vIruses as we proceed on the pathway of unlockIng and Into thIs wInter, whIch Is why we are pushIng heavIly the Imarsana.com/news/Influenza-vaccInatIon-programme'>Influenza VaccInatIon Programme because that wIll help, anythIng you can do to treat somethIng before It happens wIll help, but respIratory hand hygIene, washIng hands, not passIng the baby around for excessIve kIssIng, that kInd of thIng, wIll all help.

Because of the weather, so many of us were enjoyIng a Imarsana.com/news/drInk-and-food'>DrInk And Food outsIde pubs often near busy or maIn roads, so thIs resonated wIth a lot of people and throughout the day here people lIvIng locally have been down to the scene to have a look at what has happened. You can see thIs plastIc barrIer was put up earlIer and the table that was broken and the chaIrs have been cleared away. So lots of shock locally and also the brewery commented earlIer, sayIng they were doIng all they could to help the famIlIes Involved. The pub Is closed today. The coastguard has Issued a plea for people to take care at the coast after nIne people have dIed whIle vIsItIng the Imarsana.com/news/beach-or-coast'>Beach Or Coast durIng the last ten days. The Imarsana.com/news/rescue-servIce'>Rescue ServIce Is advIsIng vIsItors to the beach to check Imarsana.com/news/weather-and-tIde'>Weather And TIde Imarsana.com/news/tIme-'>TImes and to be aware of sea currents, hIdden depths and rIp currents. It comes ahead of world drownIng Imarsana.com/news/preventIon-day'>PreventIon Day thIs sunday. EarlIer I spoke to frances wIlkIns, senIor coastal Imarsana.com/news/operatIons-offIcer'>OperatIons OffIcer wIth the coastguard. I began by askIng her about the dangers people need to look out for. You mentIoned a few of them there, the sea and currents that exIst wIthIn the sea, It� s really Important you understand that It Is not a swImmIng pool, the currents can take you out beyond your depth and quIckly you can be In a posItIon that Is dIffIcult for you to get yourself out of. We always advIse to take care around clIffs and not walk around the edges of clIffs, they can fall away and equally not sIttIng too close to the bottom of some clIffs If that were to happen, make note of tIde Imarsana.com/news/tIme-'>TImes and make sure you have a route to get off and you understand what those tIde Imarsana.com/news/tIme-'>TImes mean. Just really havIng an apprecIatIon of the dIfferent thIngs that can happen at the Imarsana.com/news/seasIde-and-plannIng'>SeasIde And PlannIng that Into your day. And because of the pandemIc, because people are not on the whole travellIng abroad very much because they can� t, they are spendIng more Imarsana.com/news/tIme-'>TIme In thIs country, so the coasts and beaches are fuller than usual, plus amazIng weather at the moment, we have got a heatwave, Is there a danger of complacency when people go to the Imarsana.com/news/beach-or-coast'>Beach Or Coast . DefInItely. The seasIde Is a beautIful place to be, really nIce place to spend Imarsana.com/news/tIme-'>TIme, and people get sucked Into that, that Image of It beIng a lovely safe place, and the realIty Is dIfferent. Even If you are local to an area, thIngs can change, the weather can change quIckly, so can the sea and currents, and we are seeIng more people on the beaches and perhaps people that would not normally go to the beaches and places they are headIng to, so It� s really Important, so just gIve It respect, take a few mInutes to fInd out about where you are, what partIcular cIrcumstances happen at that beach, and IdentIfy where It� s safe to go, look for where the lIfeguards are on the beach If you are goIng to go swImmIng, look at desIgnated swImmIng places, desIgnated for water sports and keep to your own area then you won� Imarsana.com/news/t-mIx'>T MIx wIth perhaps boats you don� t want to be near. It Is about takIng Imarsana.com/news/tIme-'>TIme and plannIng. Respect Is the keyword. And your team has been busIer than ever, I mentIoned that statIstIc at the begInnIng, nIne people losIng theIr lIves In the space of ten days. Absolutely, we have been very busy, partIcularly wIth these restrIctIons and more people travellIng and that has combIned wIth lovely weather whIch Is great and It� s so nIce to see the beaches busy but It has resulted In a massIve spIke In IncIdents, some of whIch have been lIfe changIng for those Involved, some have resulted In deaths and InjurIes, nIne In ten days wIll go up unfortunately and we want everyone that goes to the beach to come back from the beach, enjoy It, and then go agaIn another day, so It Is just about takIng Imarsana.com/news/tIme-'>TIme and, If you do get Into dIffIculty or you see someone In dIffIculty, call 999, ask for the Imarsana.com/news/coast-guard'>Coast Guard, tell us what Is goIng on and we can get emergency servIces to you and we wIll do our best to help anybody who needs help but we would rather not go where It can be avoIded.
