Covid deaths in England are falling faster than gloomy SAGE advisers thought they would, official data show — and scientists claim lockdown rules could be loosened faster. Models produced by the SPI-M group of scientists predicting the future of the Covid outbreak in February suggested the daily death count would stay above 200 until mid-March. But the average number of victims recorded each day had dropped below this level before the end of February, statistics show. Experts told The Telegraph the progress is 'better than expected' and suggested the Government's 'data not dates' approach could see relaxations brought forward. The vaccine rollout has made immense progress, with 20million people now vaccinated across the UK, and studies suggest the jabs are working better than expected, preventing between 85 and 94 per cent of hospitalisations. SPI-M's prediction was more pessimistic about how well the vaccine would work and whether it would stop transmission, which may … [Read more...] about Lockdown ‘could ease earlier’ in England because Covid deaths are falling FASTER than SAGE predicted thanks to vaccine success

WHEN Trista Hamsmith's daughter Reese started wheezing last October, the mum assumed she was suffering from a particularly nasty cough - nothing more. Just to be on the safe side, Trista, from Texas, took her 17-month-old daughter to the paediatrician who said the normally bubbly toddler probably had a bad cold. Shortly after the family returned home, the mum noticed that the battery in their remote control was missing and her heart dropped. Speaking to TODAY Parents , the mum explained how she raced Reese to the emergency room. It was there that doctors discovered Reese had swallowed the small button battery which had burnt a hole in her oesophagus. She said: "They did an X-ray and confirmed that it was in there and they did emergency surgery to remove the battery." Not only are button batteries a choking hazard, they can also cause a lethal chemical reaction inside the body. They react with saliva causing a build up of caustic soda which eats through flesh … [Read more...] about My baby girl died after a button battery burned through her throat – now I want to make sure it never happens again
