London and the Midlands have the lowest COVID-19 infection rates in England, according to estimates by Cambridge University. While the R number – the number of people an infected person passes the disease on to – is only an average of 0.4 in London, in the North East and Yorkshire it’s an average of 0.80. Other estimates in the study show that the coronavirus has infected 18% of those aged 5 to 14 but only 3% of those over 75, a sign that shielding measures have worked. #coronavirus #COVID19 #uk SUBSCRIBE to our YouTube channel for more videos: http://www.youtube.com/skynews Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/skynews Like us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/skynews Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/skynews For more content go to http://news.sky.com and download our apps: Apple: https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/sky-news/id316391924?mt=8 Android https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bskyb.skynews.android&hl=en_GB Sky News videos are now available in Spanish here/Los video de Sky News están disponibles en español aquí https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzG5BnqHO8oNlrPDW9CYJog

COVID-19 Update 55 with Roger Seheult, MD of https://www.MedCram.com Dr. Seheult illustrates new findings from Nature (a peer-reviewed journal) about how the SARS-CoV-2 virus may infect T-cells and render them ineffective during COVID 19 infection. A comparison is also made to how HIV infects T-cells with a key difference being that HIV actually utilizes T-cells of the human immune system to replicate itself (and this has not been observed with SARS-CoV-2. Other topics include a medical review by the Mayo Clinic about potential benefits of sauna/hydrothermal therapy (brief core temperature elevation), and a new “vent multiplexer” that allows some individual adjustment when treating multiple patients with one ventilator.
