Some pharmacies have already run out of Covid tests, as experts urge Brits to stay alert to the new heavily-mutated Pirola Covid variant amid fears it could trigger a fresh wave of infections and overwhelm the NHS.
It comes less than 24 hours after health officials u-turned again on the autumn Covid and flu jab drive start date, bringing it forwards from October to September 11, with some experts already calling to ‘vaccinate everyone’.
Ministers said the rollout would to
A video of factory workers in China testing electronic cigarettes by puffing on them exposes the disgusting dangers of counterfeit vapes.
A clip from last year – which has gone viral in the past few months- shows men ‘testing’ dozens of disposable ELFBARS before they are sealed and packaged.
ELFBAR- which is based in Shenzhen – told DailyMail.com that the factory in the video ‘does not belong to Elf Bar, and is not affiliated with ELFBAR in any way.’

The Australian physicist shook the heavy metal box that resembled a beer cooler but held a quantum sensor. A computer screen showed that the cutting-edge device — with lasers manipulating atoms into a sensitive state — continued functioning despite the rattling.
He and his team had built a hard-to-detect, super-accurate navigation system for when satellite GPS networks are jammed or do not work that was robust and portable enough to be used outside a lab. It could potentially guide military
A fresh batch of damning European intelligence reports reveal that the Islamic Republic of Iran sought to bypass U.S. and EU sanctions to secure technology for its nuclear weapons program with a view toward testing an atomic bomb.
According to the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI), which first published translations of the intelligence documents on its website, the security agencies of Sweden, the Netherlands and Germany revealed sensitive data during the first six months of 2023 on the Iranian
Across the internet, a biological scapegoat has emerged for almost any mysterious medical symptom affecting women. Struggling with chronic fatigue, hair loss, brain fog, or dwindling sex drive? When no obvious explanation is at hand, an out-of-whack endocrine system must be to blame. Women have too much cortisol, vloggers and influencers say; or not enough thyroxine, or the wrong ratio of progesterone to estradiol. Social media is brimming with advice from self-proclaimed hormone “gurus” and health coaches; the tag #hormoneimbalance
Is that sniffle a cold, or have I caught Covid?
It’s a question you’ve likely asked — and answered — yourself dozens of times over the last three years thanks to the rise of DIY testing kits.
But you might soon be asking similar questions about whether or not the blood in your poo is cancer, if test manufacturers get their way.
Not only did the pandemic lead to a huge surge in demand for Covid home testing kits, but
A big factor putting the public off buying electric vehicles (EVs) is ‘range anxiety’ – the fear of not having enough charge to get to a destination.
But the phenomenon affects taxi drivers too, and can lead to cabbies losing out on trips because they think their battery could die mid-trip.
Now, scientists are testing technology in Nottingham that gives taxi drivers an opportunity to quickly charge their cab before making another journey.
Their specially-adapted electric taxis can wirelessly power
Looking up, I can see the colours of the Northern Lights dancing overhead.
But I’m not in the Arctic.
I’m testing out Finnair’s new business-class seat aboard an overnight Airbus A350-900 flight from Helsinki to Singapore. The aurora-borealis-effect mood lighting, which plays out just before the cabin lights dim for a night’s sleep, has been designed to combat jetlag.
The lighting is a slick touch, but it’s not the most remarkable feature of this brand-new cabin. That gong goes to
In early July, Sebastian Kohn, a 39-year-old nonprofit professional in Brooklyn, woke up with a fever, a sore back, and swelling in the lymph nodes of his throat and groin. He took a COVID test, which was negative. But Kohn had some clue as to what might be going on. Pride celebrations had taken place a week earlier, and a newly infamous disease was circulating largely in the gay community: monkeypox.
Suspicious that he might have the viral illness, Kohn
Calls are ramping up for Covid restrictions to return in the UK despite a raft of data showing the virus has been reduced to a bad cold for the vast majority of people.
A number of high profile experts publicly urged the Government to bring back face masks and free tests after a health minister admitted they could be reintroduced if the NHS becomes too busy to clear its backlogs.
The renewed calls for onerous public health measures are based
