Covid kills healthy young people and serious illnesses are rare, a giant British study suggests.

A WISE TEACHER SAYS PARENTS SHOULD BE ‘REACTIVATED’ THAT COVID-19 DID NOT CAUSE THE DEATH OF HEALTHY STUDENTS
A teacher who is part of the sage government’s advisory organization said parents should be “calm” that Covid-19 did not cause the death of any healthy schoolchildren.
Professor Calum Semple of the University of Liverpool told BBC Radio 4’s Today programme: “So we looked at about two-thirds of all hospital admissions in England, Scotland and Wales, the first wave of the pandemic, so we looked at another 69,500 people present. Think, 280 hospitals, so it’s a very big study.
“And when we looked very conscientiously and did all the numbers, we found that of the 69,500 young people, there were only 650 young people, so 1% of hospital admissions were young. And then, of that 1%, only six young men died.
“Now, of these deaths is a massive, non-public tragedy, of course, but in general, it’s quite reassuring.”
He added that “what we can say is that of these six young people they had profound medical disorders before they fell ill with Covid, and in many cases those situations would have limited their lives in themselves.”

However, when other people so far when coronavirus is still one thing … you just have to be aware that unfortunately things can replace very temporarily and, you know, if you spend there with your eyes open and you know that things can replace, it might not be a surprise.
“Although, as I said, countries are evolving very fast.”
REQUEST A 270 MILLION EURO FUND TO HELP TENANTS
Personal tenants with a $270 million fund have been suggested to the government to help settle rental arrears.
A coalition of landlords, rental agents and charities said at least 322,000 personal tenants have been affected by bills since the start of the pandemic.

Tenants were protected from eviction by the Covid-19 outbreak through a ban announced in March and ended in June, which was due to end in England and Wales this week.

SEARCH FOR ANSWERS
British scientists are investigating how the immune formula reacts to Covid-19.
Researchers at 17 UK study centres are looking for how long immunity lasts and why the virus affects others in other ways.
The new UK Coronavirus Immunology Consortium (UK-CIC) has received £6.5m in funding from different research bodies.
Scientists say the immune reaction to coronavirus seems to be minimized over time.
This occurs when Hong Kong researchers recorded the first documented case of reinfection.
Professor Paul Moss of the University of Birmingham said: “This is the first case among millions, so we want to keep it in proportion.”
COVIDED RISK FOR CHILDREN
Parents deserve to be “confident” that the threat that young people will need hospital treatment for a coronavirus is “minimal,” the researchers say.
The BMJ study said only one per cent of the 651 kids with Covid-19 involved in the research had died compared to 27 per cent across all age groups.
And the six young men who died had underlying “deep” fitness problems.
Other young people with such situations remain vulnerable to respiratory diseases, according to the study.
BREAKING POWER THE PARTS OF THE HOUSE
Scots will have the strength to break the parties at home that break coronavirus regulations from today.
Nicola Sturgeon showed that the police had the ability to dissolve the rallies attended by more than 15 people.
But the Scottish government is “not looking at their social life,” Sturgeon said, and emphasized that the new powers of coronaviruses will only be used as a last resort.
The temptation to hold giant indoor meetings will be greater in the coming autumn and winter months, and evidence shows that they pose a “significant threat of transmission,” he added.

SWITZERLAND ON THE UK QUARANTINE LIST
Terrified tourists are making plans to return to the UK from the Czech Republic, Jamaica and Switzerland before new quarantine measures are imposed.
Transport Secretary Grant Shapps announced Thursday night that others arriving in England from those countries after 4 p.m. on Saturday will have to isolate themselves for four days.
The Department of Transport said measures were being implemented in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
Scotland removed Switzerland from its list last week.
Shapps tweeted Thursday: “Knowledge shows that we want to remove the Czech Republic, Jamaica and Switzerland from our list of coronavirus brokers to maintain BAS infection rates.”
“If you arrive in the UK after 04:00 on Saturday from those destinations, you will want to isolate yourself for 14 days.
“Quarantine on the way back from a country that is not part of the room is a legal responsibility and a criminal offence is committed if quarantine is broken.
“Possibly it would result in fines and criminals’ background.”
He explained that “the resolution to go up or a country is made with care after a search by the Joint Biosecurity Center.
“A key indicator is 20 instances per 100,000 over 7 days, yet they take into account a wide variety of factors, adding the level, rate, and replacement rate of the instances shown.”
EASTENDERS STARS PARTNERS USED FOR SEX SCENES
The actual companions of the members are used as frame doubles so that the EastEnders can shoot intimate scenes.
The bosses of the BBC One soap opera have also hired extras in Covid’s isolation bubbles, allowing them to comply with social estrangement regulations.
Real partners have been recruited in the EastEnders cast to appear on screen and allow “moments of intimacy to be deceived,” a series boss revealed.
The transparent plexiglass screens placed between the actors they film and the fundamental computer-generated photographs (CGI) are also among the measures used to allow the BBC One soap opera to return to screens on 7 September.
Executive manufacturer Jon Sen said the sets will be adjusted, with one-way systems and temperature controls in place.
Seats at the Queen Victoria pub have also been changed to allow a distance of two meters between the actors when filming resumes at the end of June.
Sen said: “Our biggest challenge is that we have several circles of family units, it’s the nature of EastEnders and soap, and families who would be in the same house, so not two meters away.
“But they are played through actors who obey social estrangement, so there is a huge challenge at the center.
The plexiglass screens between the actors on set allowed them to “combine other people really and that’s really smart because it provides an intimacy to functionality that wouldn’t be possible in a different way,” he added.
