A headache, sore throat and runny nose are now the most reported Covid symptoms, scientists say.  NHS bosses only recognise three tell-tale signs of the virus - a temperature, new continuous cough and loss of taste and smell.  But King's College London scientists, who run a coronavirus surveillance project, say the disease is 'acting differently now'. A headache is now the most reported symptom of Covid while a sore throat is the second most complained about, but neither are on the official list of virus symptoms Scientists believe the Indian Delta variant, which has been spreading rapidly since early May, may be behind the change in symptoms. It could also be down to younger people getting infected and them being more likely to only suffer a mild illnes...

Undervaccinated red states are nowhere near herd immunity as dangerous Delta variant spreads – Yahoo News

Many conservative-leaning U.S. states and communities are nowhere near reaching the level of COVID-19 vaccination that could keep them safe from future outbreaks of the highly contagious Delta coronavirus variant, according to the latest data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. And numbers from the National Institutes of Health suggest they probably shouldn’t be relying on natural immunity to protect them, either. Across America, the people most at risk of serious illness or death from COVID-19 — senior citizens — have been vaccinated at the highest rates so deaths and hospitalizations will never again reach their horrific winter highs. Overall, experts agree, the worst of the pandemic is behind us. Adam Rodriguez gets a COVID-19 shot from Alexis Watts at Guaranteed Ra...

CDC plans “emergency meeting” on rare heart inflammation following COVID-19 vaccines – CBS News

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced Thursday that it will convene an "emergency meeting" of its advisers on June 18th to discuss rare but higher-than-expected reports of heart inflammation following doses of the mRNA-based Pfizer and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines. So far, the CDC has identified 226 reports that might meet the agency's "working case definition" of myocarditis and pericarditis following the shots, the agency disclosed Thursday. The vast majority have recovered, but 41 had ongoing symptoms, 15 are still hospitalized, and 3 are in the intensive care unit. The reports represent just a tiny fraction of the nearly 130 million Americans who have been fully vaccinated with either Pfizer or Moderna's doses.  "It's a bit of an apples-to-oranges comparison be...
