A revolt is brewing among the UK government's own MPs over areas of England being put into the higher tiers of Covid restrictions.

Some 55 million people will face the strictest two tiers of rules when lockdown ends on 2 December.

The government says it will publish an impact assessment before MPs get a chance to vote on the new rules on Tuesday.

If 40 Tory backbenchers rebel, the PM may need Labour's help in winning the vote.

Labour is expected to decide next week whether to back the plans, after consulting Covid experts.

Communities Secretary Robert Jenrick has defended the tier allocations and says they are "not going to change" before next week.

Fans in Italy have defied lockdown rules by gathering at Napoli stadium for a second day, to mark the death of football legend Diego Maradona.

There have been more than 60 million coronavirus cases and 1.4 million deaths across the globe, according to Johns Hopkins University.

The number of infections in Germany during the pandemic has passed one million - with 22,806 new cases in 24 hours and a record 426 deaths. Russia has also reported record figures this morning with 27,543 daily cases and 496 deaths.

Belgium's prime minister will meet experts at 12:00 GMT to decide whether to reopen non-essential businesses, which have been shut since 2 November. France is making that move tomorrow, and fewer than 5,000 people are being treated in hospital in Belgium. But PM Alexander De Croo says Belgians will pay the consequences if the wrong decisions are made.

Latest figures from Sweden's health and welfare board reportedly show 73% of all Covid deaths involved people in nursing homes. Of the 3,002 deaths from 1 March to 23 November, 1,696 were in nursing homes, public broadcaster SVT reports.

Italy has seen another 822 deaths in 24 hours but the number of patients in hospitals is falling. Virologist Andrea Crisanti says infection rates in Italy have passed the peak and that fatalities reflect the level of infection two to three weeks ago.

France will allow people to go cross-country skiing individually from tomorrow, as long as it doesn't prompt big gatherings of people. Ski lifts have been shut for downhill skiing but cross-country skiing will be permitted, for example for people who live in mountainous areas.

What had to be feared, has now begun.

A few religious weirdoes fled their island, and those illegal immigrants founded a nation based on their delusions while massacring the natives and contaminating the soil in GOD's name, what can you expect centuries later
Back to the middle ages. Much closer to Turkey than i thought.

Only solace is indeed that Darwin's ideas may have a word with those.

The R number for coronavirus has fallen to between 0.9 and 1 for the first time since mid-August, which means the epidemic is thought to be no longer growing.

'R' is calculated by the government's scientific advisers, and represents how many extra people each infected person passes the virus onto.

The aim is to keep R below 1 until a vaccine is rolled out.

During the first peak in the spring, R was thought to be around 3.

But overall it has to be said that after hundreds of studies worldwide, not a single agent has been found that specifically helps against Covid-19. And here I explicitly include remdesivir.

But remdesivir has been approved by the US and European authorities for the treatment of early Covid-19 cases.

Yes, one is used to a lot from the FDA, but unfortunately the EMA has also approved it - prematurely in my opinion. Because there is only one study, with around a thousand patients, that shows a clear difference in the duration of the illness, but not in the death rate and other, more important parameters.
In other placebo-controlled studies, including the largest, the “Solidarity” study by the WHO, no benefit at all was found for remdesivir . I wouldn't take it myself, or prescribe it to my father or anyone else. It's just expensive and nothing else.

What about dexamethasone that is supposed to help with a severe course?

That was cheered, but this is nothing new, nothing specific to Covid-19. We have been using such corticoids for acute lung failure for years. Practically nothing has changed in our limited options for treating severe Covid-19 cases since March. That is, the death rate will not change significantly either.

The part in red is what it all is about for the most. Thats why I say there is too much steam in the kettle, there is too big a gold treasure to be won.

60g of salt? Yikes.

Dont be afraid of salt, our problem is not too much but too little salt. I was at salt earlier in this tbread, wasnt I. Before refrigerators, people ate 50, 100 gram, even in some regions and under circumstances up to 200 grams of salt over the day.


Dinicolantonios book on salt is as much an eye opener as is his book on fat. I have each of these ordered additional four times. This christmas, my friends and family will get clusterbombed with the double book combo, fat and salt.
