COVID-19: Brazilian P1 variant may spread more easily and could evade immune system, scientists find
The first assessment of the Brazilian variant of COVID-19, newly identified in the UK, shows it may spread more easily - and evade the immune system. Scientists from Brazil and the UK estimate the variant, known as P1, is 1.4 to 2.2 times more transmissible than previous versions of coronavirus circulating in Manaus, the Amazon city where it originated. It is also able to evade between 25% and 61% of protective immunity from previous infection, according researchers at Imperial College London and the University of Sao Paulo. The study has not been peer reviewed.

Climate change: Global CO2 emissions bounce back to pre-COVID levels, International Energy Agency study finds
Global emissions have rebounded to worrying levels after a historic decline in 2020, according to new data. And the International Energy Agency (IEA), which has compiled the data, says ensuring that 2019 marks a definitive peak in global CO2 emissions will be "extremely challenging". The IEA says the COVID crisis in 2020 triggered the largest annual drop in energy-related carbon dioxide emissions since the Second World War. It also says avoiding a rebound in emissions requires "rapid change" around the world in how energy is used and produced. In April 2020, global emissions registered their largest ever monthly drop. But by December they were two per cent higher than the same month a year earlier. Advertisement "The rebound in global carbon emissions toward the end of last year is a stark warning that not enough is being done to accelerate clean energy transitions worldwide," said Dr Fatih Birol, the IEA executive director. "If governments … [Read more...] about Climate change: Global CO2 emissions bounce back to pre-COVID levels, International Energy Agency study finds
Daft Punk faces unmasked – inside the group, their shock split and the funny reason they wore robot helmets
DAFT Punk came to superstardom in mysterious circumstances – now they've left in the same way. The French duo announced they were parting ways after 28 years in a new video released yesterday, but no one knows why they're calling it quits. The break up video titled ' Epilogue ' is a clip from their wordless 2006 film Electroma showing the pair walking through the desert. One of them blows themselves up as the other walks off alone to the sunset before the years 1993 to 2021 appear on the screen. "Hold on, if love is the answer you're home," go the lyrics to their song Touch, which plays over the end of the clip. It's the dramatic end of Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo and Thomas Bangalter's collaboration which saw them scoop six Grammy Awards, amass a legion of millions of fans, and build a combined fortune of around £50million . But their lasting legacy will be as one of the most influential acts in dance music history whose solo work and tracks with the … [Read more...] about Daft Punk faces unmasked – inside the group, their shock split and the funny reason they wore robot helmets
