[Coronavirus will be with us forever, Sage scientist warns

Mark Walport said people would need to be
vaccinated at regular intervals.
His comments come after the head of the
World Health Organization (WHO) said he hoped
the pandemic would be over within two years,
as the Spanish flu had taken two years to overcome.]

I mean... Both can be true... Spanish Flu was just swine flu. It's still with us 100 years later, but it's not an active pandemic... It's always going around, though.

Organisers of illegal gatherings of more than 30 people could face fines of up to £10,000 under new powers given to police in England from Friday.

People who attend gatherings could be fined £100, doubling on each offence up to £3,200. This level of fine will also apply to those who those who flout the rules around face coverings where they are mandatory - such as on public transport or in shops and supermarkets.

It comes after police in the city of Birmingham said they attended more than 70 unlicensed street and house parties on Saturday night, while police in Huddersfield broke up an illegal rave involving about 300 people.

Meanwhile in London, the Metropolitan Police says it has responded to more than 1,000 unlicensed events since the end of June.

BoJo is wearing that baby FAR too low. If you can't bend your neck and kiss their head they've slipped down, Boris. Tighten those straps .

The local headlines are using words like “alarm” and talking about a “bigger, deadlier wave” of Covid-19 in South Korea.

Why? The country has recorded its highest number of daily cases since early March, fuelled by an outbreak at a right-wing church in Seoul called Sarang Jeil that has led to more than 800 infections alone.

South Korea has been here before. An outbreak in a church in February swept through the city of Daegu infecting, at its height, a thousand people a day.

But the difference this time is that the virus has spread through every province in the country except the island of Jeju, and health officials are warning this wave could prove far more devastating.

The problem at the centre of this latest Covid-19 crisis is political. Conservative churchgoers have always despised the current liberal President Moon Jae-in and accuse him of being a communist.

Sarang Jeil’s followers believe that the virus was planted in their church with the aim of closing down all opposition to the Moon government. Some have even accused North Korea of deliberately infecting them.

Health officials are desperately trying to persuade them that this is not a conspiracy and they simply need worshippers to be tested. But on Friday the police had to intervene to get a full list of church members for contact tracing purposes.

Meanwhile the entire country is facing new social distancing measures and public anger towards Sarang Jeil is growing.

---------------------

The same basic pattern is repeating across the world
