'I've never seen a disease with such a wide spectrum of activity - from nothing, asymptomatic to lethal.' ProfKarolSikora says as the world passes 10 million cases, there is still much we don't know about the virus but 'we're getting there.' COVID19:

Sir Peter told Sky News the recommendations from PHE would have a"significant" impact on residents, adding he had been shown"no evidence" to convince him that if the city was to remain restricted for longer than the rest of England"that would make a difference".

"That is fine if it is necessary, but they will have to prove it is necessary... or that it would make any difference... and then explain to us how on earth it can be made to happen." "I gather that a group of officials came here for a day visit and talked to a few people and then went back and cobbled this report together. That is not the basis for sensible policy-making about the very considerable dangers of this virus."

She said:"It is going to cause a lot of problems for a lot of businesses. We have been lucky that we have been able to trade all the way through lockdown, bar a couple of days. Next week we were considering having seats outside before allowing people to come into the premises... and then we were going to look at opening properly.
