Boris Johnson: UK variant up to 30pc more deadly
Boris Johnson begun today's press conference by warning of the deadliness of the new variant.
"There is some evidence the new variant...may be associated with a higher degree of mortality."
Sir Patrick Vallance added that the Kent variant is between 30 and 70 per cent more transmissible, and does not discriminate by age.
He said that the UK variant looks to be more deadly, based on preliminary data.
"There is evidence that there is an increased risk for people who have the new variant, compared to the old variant," he says,
Sir Patrick stresses that the data is "uncertain", but suggests that for a man in his 60s, the risk of death with the new variant is 13 in 1000 rather than 10 in 1000.

'It's like a warzone': What it's like at a London hospital amid the second wave
An intensive care unit consultant at a #London #hospital had a message to those denying the #coronavirus pandemic on social media, saying that working in ICU wards treating Covid-19 patients is like ''working in a war zone.''
Dr. Umeer Waheed spoke outside London's Hammersmith hospital saying that he would "love to invite those people into these hospitals and show them exactly what's going on".
He said healthcare workers are ''stretched'' as the number of people hospitalized due to Covid-19 is still rising.
More than 39,000 patients are being treated in UK hospitals, 80 percent more than during the first peak of the pandemic last April as health workers are battling a more contagious variant of Covid-19.

Why the government might be trying to hide progress on vaccine roll-out | Analysis
This pandemic has been littered with broken promises - from the Government’s pledge to create a “world class” test-and-trace system to its guarantees over Christmas and schools staying open.
But when it comes to getting people vaccinated, ministers appear to be taking a more cautious approach in announcing targets or making predictions about the success of the roll-out.
Despite some promising figures, why might they be trying to hide their progress?
Watch the video above for Health Editor Laura Donnelly’s analysis of the numbers and how the government is reporting them.

'This might be your only chance' - couple marry in intensive care while critically-ill with Covid-19
With their lives hanging in the balance, nurses at the Milton Keynes University Hospital had a proposition for #Covid patients Elizabeth Kerr and fiance Simon O'Brien - did they want to get married on the ward while they still had the chance?
"This might be your only chance. Those are words I never, ever want hear again," Kerr said in a Covid ward in the #hospital, clutching her husband's hand.
Four hours later the two critically ill patients were married in intensive care.
Kerr and O'Brien were rushed to Milton Keynes University Hospital in the same ambulance, days after testing positive for Covid-19.
The oxygen levels of both had fallen critically low.
Placed on separate wards full of Covid patients, Kerr, a 31-year-old nurse at nearby Buckingham hospital, told medics the couple had planned to marry at their #wedding in June.
Rapid response nurse Hannah Cannon asked her if she wanted to marry 36-year-old O'Brien, a private ambulance driver, in the hospital. Kerr recalled she was told it could be her only chance.
As staff across the hospital scrambled to secure a licence, O'Brien's health deteriorated and doctors decided to move him to intensive care, reserved for the very sickest patients.
With mortality rates now as high as 80% in the ICU, a happy ending was against the odds.
Cannon was a witness and documented the ceremony for the couple's family and friends.
They were married at 5.30pm on Jan 15, three days after arriving at the hospital, with a cake provided by the catering department.
Moments after saying "I do", O'Brien was sedated and spent the night on mechanical ventilation in ICU.
His condition improved and the married couple reunited on a Covid-19 ward, where both are still receiving oxygen, having to wait a few days before their first kiss as husband and wife.
Kerr said the terrifying experience of fighting for every breathe had made clear to her what really mattered: the people you love.
"We've got a #wedding story that can trump anybody's," Kerr added.

Dog waits for owner outside hospital for days
Boncuk, a devoted pet dog, spent days obediently waiting outside the hospital where her owner was receiving treatment.

According to DHA, a Turkish news agency, Boncuk continued to wait outside the hospital’s entrance for Mr Senturk to return.
Aynur Egeli, Mr Senturk’s daughter, said she would take Boncuk home each day but she kept on returning to the hospital.
Luckily for Boncuk, which means bead in Turkish, her owner recovered from his ailment and was reunited with her outside the hospital as he left in a wheelchair.

Police fine nail salon for being open during lockdown
Met Police have released body-worn footage of the moment they found a nail salon operating in an outbuilding at a private residence.
They fined the owner of the business £1000 and the customers £200 each.
It came just a day after Met Police also found seven people from different households eating and watching TV together in the same house.
South Area BCU commander Dave Stringer, said: “Though police are primarily focusing on the most severe breaches of COVID violations such as large gatherings, officers continue to respond to reports from the public of non-essential businesses operating illegally and smaller house parties, which are also undoubtedly contributing to the spread of the virus"

Government considering 'all sorts of policies' to enforce Covid-19 lockdowns
The Government is considering “all sorts” of policies to try and help people stick to Covid-19 and self-isolation rules, Environment Secretary George Eustice has said.
It comes as reports suggest ministers are considering paying £500 to everyone who tests positive for Covid.
Health officials are understood to have drawn up the proposals amid concern that just one in six people with symptoms are coming forward for tests because some fear a positive result and self-isolation would cost them too much.
Under the current system, only those on a low income who cannot work from home and are eligible for benefits are entitled to a "support payment" of £500.
