"In approaching the question of what you genuinely intended, the starting point is the jury's conclusion that between 24th July and 25th August 2021, you held an intention to commit an act of terror and took at least some preparatory steps to bring that about. "Your objective was to influence the Government, although in reality the prospects of you successfully doing so were remote in the extreme.

Frontiers | Mitigating co-circulation of seasonal influenza and COVID-19 pandemic in the presence of vaccination: A mathematical modeling approachThe co-circulation of two respiratory infections with similar symptoms in a population can significantly overburden a healthcare system by slowing the testing and treatment. Persistent emergence of contagious variants of SARS-CoV-2 along with imperfect vaccines and their waning protections have increased the likelihood of new COVID-19 outbreaks taking place during a typical flu season. Here, we developed a mathematical model for the co-circulation dynamics of COVID-19 and influenza, under different scenarios of influenza vaccine coverage, COVID-19 vaccine booster coverage and efficacy, and testing capacity. We investigated the required minimal and optimal coverage of COVID-19 booster(3rd) and 4th dose, in conjunction with the influenza vaccine to avoid the coincidence of infection peaks for both diseases in a single season. We show that the testing delay brought on by the high number of influenza cases impacts the dynamics of influenza and COVID-19 transmission. The earlier the flu season's peak and the greater the number of infections with flu-like symptoms, the greater the risk of flu transmission, which slows down COVID-19 testing, resulting in the delay of complete isolation of COVID-19 patients who have not been isolated before the clinical presentation of symptoms and have been continuing their normal daily activities. Further, our simulations stress the importance of vaccine uptake for preventing infection, severe illness, and hospitalization at the individual level and for disease outbreaks control at the population level to avoid putting strain on already weak and overwhelmed healthcare systems. As such, ensuring optimal vaccine coverage for COVID-19 and influenza to reduce the burden of these infections is paramount. We showed that by keeping the influenza vaccine coverage about 35% and increasing the coverage of booster or 4th dose of COVID-19 not only reduces the infections with COVID-19 but also can delay its peak time. If the influenza vaccine coverage

Does COVID-19 cause adverse pregnancy and neonatal outcomes?Early in the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, pregnant women were thought to be at unusually high risk from the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) compared to the general population or non-pregnant women. However, later studies failed to agree on the extent and nature of the danger posed by the infection.

Unvaccinated COVID patients 'at greater risk of death' for at least 18 months after infectionBecause the research took place in 2020, it only takes into account people who had not been vaccinated at the time they were infected with COVID. But because of the sheer number of people who fell ill in the first wave, the study's authors say it can still help evaluate future outbreaks.
