100 US Sailors aboard aircraft carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt hit by coronavirus


The US Navy has announced that almost 100 sailors aboard aircraft carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt have been hit by coronavirus outbreak to quarantine in Guam hotels, where it is presently harboured. 

Acting Secretary of the Navy Thomas Modly said Wednesday that 93 sailors from the ship have tested positive for the virus to date, representing more than 10% of all cases across the entire US military. He said about 1,000 sailors have been evacuated form the ship and moved ashore to Guam where the ship is currently in port, reports CNN.





Modly said 1,273 of the ship's roughly 4,800 crew members have been tested for the virus so far and the Navy was still awaiting the results of some of those tests.

However, the ship will not be evacuated in its entirety due to the need to continue to perform essential tasks such as the operation of the aircraft carrier's nuclear reactor.

UK suffers record-breaking 563 coronavirus deaths in 24 hours


UK is bracing itself for the worst as it suffered record-breaking 563 coronavirus deaths and 4,324 cases in 24 hours. This takes total number of victims to 2,352 with almost 30,000 Britons known to be infected.

Britain now has almost three times as many dead patients on account of coronavirus as Germany despite only half as many positive tests. It may be added that UK's coronavirus death toll has soared by 1,124 in just 3 days - from 1,228 on Sunday to 2,352 on Wednesday. 





The youngest victim today was a 13-year-old, believed to be Ismail Mohamed Abdul Wahab from Brixton, London, whose tragic death came to light last night after he died at King's College Hospital on Monday. The oldest patient included in today's update was 99 years old.

The true size of the outbreak remains a mystery because of the UK's controversial policy to only test patients in hospital - and not the tens of thousands of Britons with milder symptoms who are recovering at at home.

Complete loss of smell and taste could be an early warning sign of coronavirus


Much has been said about the coronavirus uphill now and masses have been warned to look for the warning signs of this viral disease, like fatigue, aches and pains, a blocked nose, sore throat and diarrhea.

Now doctors in UK have come up with another set of symptoms that me be taken seriously for it may be the onset of the virus. The say sudden and complete loss of smell could also be an early sign of coronavirus.

New data gathered by ENT UK, which represents ear, nose and throat specialists, suggests this inability to smell — and often taste — may be the very first symptom and can start within hours.





It may be added that many people appear not to develop any further signs, making a full recovery without even realizing they had Covid-19. They are thought to be mostly healthy young adults whose immune systems react sufficiently to the virus to contain it within the nose, preventing it spreading to the lungs, where it can cause potentially fatal pneumonia.
