I'd like to go on record to say that regardless of how stupid people are or their religious beliefs or lack of or their political affiliation I wish to see no one come to any harm.

Well, wearing surgical masks 6-8 hours (customer on site service) and FFP2 1-3 hours (public transport) every working day I cannot see the funny side of it.

There have now been more than 1m confirmed cases in India, and 2m in Brazil.

The total in both countries has doubled in less than a month.

Despite an increase in daily infections, the death rate in Brazil is largely flat.

But in India, the number of people dying with Covid-19 each day is increasing.

In the US, the daily total of new cases hits another record.

With infections rising, Japan is now recording more daily cases than Italy.

The UK, US, and Canada accuse Russian spies of targeting vaccine researchers.

Globally there have been 13.8 million cases since the outbreak began, with 589,000 deaths.

Ireland's acting chief medical officer has warned the country is in a "precarious" position and urged people to holiday at home. Ireland's public health emergency team says if the virus continues to spread there could be 150 cases a day by 10 August.

Spain recorded its highest number of cases since early May on Thursday, with 580 new infections. Authorities in Barcelona are planning to restrict movement throughout the city to halt the spread.
Madrid's Cibeles fountain is the traditional destination for celebrating Real fans when they win La Liga. But last night it was fenced off to prevent supporters going near the water - "The goddess Cybele's saddest celebration" - in the words of El País.

Cases are also rising again in Italy, where 230 infections were recorded in 24 hours, many of them in Lombardy and Emilia Romagna in the north. Fatalities in Italy have now surpassed 35,000

Serbia and Montenegro have been removed from an EU list of countries seen as having the pandemic under control.

Two areas of France are causing concern in particular: Mayenne in the north-west and Nouvelle Aquitaine on the west coast where several clusters have been recorded.

More than 600 flights have been cancelled in Urumqi, the capital of China’s Xinjiang province after a case was confirmed there.

Israel is imposing weekend restrictions to limit the spread of the virus.

It's a big day for Captain Tom Moore today, who will be knighted by the Queen.

The 100-year-old World War Two veteran - who raised more than £30m for NHS charities - will be joined by family members for his own personal open-air ceremony at Windsor Castle later.

Ahead of the ceremony, Sir Tom said on his official Twitter account: "It is going to be the most special of days for me."

All other investitures due to be held in June and July were postponed - but Sir Tom has had a special exemption.

British airways retires its complete Boeing 747 fleet with immediate effect. BA was the worldwide biggest operator of this plane, having run fleet of 31 planes.

Others will follow with comparable measures, I'm sure.

If anyone still has not fully forseen the economic changes Corona brings to the world - this niow should.

Another branch that will not escape to undergo dramatic change, is the gastronomy. Automated transactions will become dominant. Machine restaurants, so to speak. Single enterprises will die in significant numbers. . Chains will dominate.
