UK strain in 1 of 90 samples from Mumbai, no other major variant in NCDC report
(This story was first published in the Times of India on March 4, 2021) MUMBAI: Out of 90 samples sent from the city on February 17, only one showed the UK strain (B1.1.7), said preliminary reports shared with the civic authorities. Genome sequencing did not show any other significant variants at the moment. A final report is awaited. Samples from three categories of patients in Andheri’s SevenHills Hospital—mild, moderate and critical—were sent to the National Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) in New Delhi to look for mutant strains that could explain the spurt in cases seen from February 10. “We have been told that only one sample has tested positive for the UK variant. No other major mutations have been found but we will wait for the detailed findings,” said additional municipal commissioner Suresh Kakani. The city has already dealt with three cases of the UK strain. “We could control it well,” he said.

UK may approve world’s first three-parent baby
B ritain may become the first country in the world to allow a controversial IVF technique that creates babies using DNA from three people, to keep parents from passing genetic diseases to their offspring. A landmark decision by UK's Department of Health has opened the door to controversial treatments for inherited diseases that use donated DNA from a second donor mother, despite fears it might lead to "designer babies". The department announced that the UK government intends to publish draft regulations later this year in a public consultation about the in vitro fertilisation IVF-based techniques to eradicate mitochondrial diseases. The new regulations to fertility law allowing the procedures will be issued for consultation and then debated in Parliament, the 'Sky News' reported. In case the MPs find the regulations ethically acceptable, the first patients could be treated within months. It is envisaged that between five and 10 three-parent babies would be born ... » Learn More about UK may approve world’s first three-parent baby
UK has to drop bias to promote trade: China Daily editorial
That the United Kingdom imported more goods from China than from any other trading partner in the second quarter of 2020 speaks volumes about how important trade with China is to the economy of the UK. It also explains why UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson declared that he was "fervently Sinophile" at a Downing Street roundtable on Feb 12. It was reported that the UK prime minister also signaled that he wanted a resumption of formal trade discussions between the two countries by reactivating — two forums — the Economic and Financial Dialogue and the China-UK Joint Trade and Economic Commission. It is understandable that Johnson should enthuse about promoting trade ties with China — "whatever the political difficulties" — as the UK's economy shrank by 9.9 percent in 2020, the worst among G7 industrial countries. The prospects for its economy are not looking bright this year either because of the COVID-19 pandemic and the post-Brexit difficulties it is facing.

UK goes into 3-week lockdown to tackle COVID spread
British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has enforced the strictest curbs on movement of people for at least three weeks to try and control the spread of COVID-19 in the country, where the death toll has reached 335. IMAGE: A man watches watches British Prime Minister Boris Johnson's press conference as the spread of coronavirus disease continues in Newcastle-under-Lyme, Britain. Photograph: Carl Recine/Reuters In a televised address to the nation on Monday evening, he said while no prime minister wants to make such demands on the population, the situation was such that he was forced to clamp down on people's movement and crackdown on any gatherings of more than two people. With his central message calling on people to restrict their movements outside their homes only for the very basic essentials, Johnson said, "From this evening I must give the British people a very simple instruction "you must stay at home". People will only be allowed to leave their home to ... » Learn More about UK goes into 3-week lockdown to tackle COVID spread

COVID jab didn’t hurt at all, says Britain’s Queen
Britain's Queen Elizabeth II has said that receiving her vaccine to protect against COVID-19 "didn't hurt at all" and encouraged those hesitant about getting jabbed to think about how it would help others in preventing the spread of the deadly virus. In a rare reference to private health matters, the 94-year-old monarch backed the National Health Service led vaccination programme in the UK during a video call earlier this week with health officials coordinating the rollout across England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. She and husband, 99-year-old Prince Philip, received their first of two doses last month. "Once you've had the vaccine you have a feeling of, you know, you're protected, which is I think very important,” said the Queen, in reference to her jab. "As far as I could make out it was quite harmless. It was very quick, and I've had lots of letters from people who have been very surprised by how easy it was to get the vaccine. And the jab, it ... » Learn More about COVID jab didn’t hurt at all, says Britain’s Queen
