A dozen people in Cambodia are suspected of being infected with the H5N1 bird flu strain in the same province where an 11-year-old girl died on Wednesday – raising fears the virus may be spreading from human to human for the first time in decades.

But campaigners say the cereal-maker — whose favourites are loved by millions — could easily get around the ban by simply slashing their sugar and salt contents.

Professor ‘Lockdown’ Neil Ferguson has slammed a review that found lockdowns barely affected the Covid mortality rate.
The Imperial College London epidemiologist, whose modelling led the UK Government to impose the first lockdown, said the paper ‘does not significantly advance’ understandings of how effective the draconian measure is.
The review — by three economists from Johns Hopkins University in the US, Lund University in Sweden and the Danish think-tank the Center for Political Studies —ound lockdowns only reduced Covid mortality
