Meghan Markle news latest: Prince Harry and Duchess could ‘fade into obscurity like Edward VIII and Wallis… – The US Sun

ROYAL EXPERT LISTS SIMILARITIES BETWEEN HARRY AND EDWARD VIII In an interview with Fox News, Mr Bullen listed some of the similarities between Harry and Edward. Edward, who abdicated in 1936 to marry American divorcee and socialite Wallis, wrote a ghost-written autobiography after he was cut off with no source of income. Book A King's Story: Memoirs of the Duke of Windsor was published in 1951, and included detail about the royal split and his relationship with Wallis. Harry is currently writing his own memoirs after signing a £29million four-book mega-deal. The first book, which is as yet untitled, will include the "definitive account of the experiences, adventures, losses, and life lessons that have helped shape him," Random House announced. Both men wed divorced American wome...

New COVID variant detected in South Africa, most mutated variant so far – The Jerusalem Post

A new coronavirus variant, C.1.2, has been detected in South Africa and a number of other countries, with concerns that it could be more infectious and evade vaccines, according to a new preprint study by South Africa's National Institute for Communicable Diseases and the KwaZulu-Natal Research Innovation and Sequencing Platform. The study is awaiting peer review. Scientists first detected C.1.2 in May 2021, finding that it was descended from C.1, which scientists found surprising as C.1 had last been detected in January. The new variant has "mutated substantially" compared to C.1 and is more mutations away from the original virus detected in Wuhan than any other Variant of Concern (VOC) or Variant of Interest (VOI) detected so far worldwide. While first detected in So...

First, surges in Covid-19 infections led to shortages of hospital beds and staff. Now its oxygen – CNN

Several hospitals in Florida, South Carolina, Texas and Louisiana are struggling with oxygen scarcity. Some are at risk of having to use their reserve supply or running out of oxygen imminently, according to state health officials and hospital consultants. With the continued uptick in Covid-19 cases, there has been more demand on the oxygen supply, and hospitals cannot keep up the pace to meet those needs, Donna Cross, who is the senior director of facilities and construction at Premier -- a health care performance improvement company -- told CNN. "Normally, an oxygen tank would be about 90% full, and the suppliers would let them get down to a refill level of 30-40% left in their tank, giving them a three to five day cushion of supply," Cross explained. "What's happening now is that hosp...

Australias COVID-19 cases hit new record as reopening debate heats up – Reuters

MELBOURNE, Aug 29 (Reuters) - Australia logged a record 1,323 local COVID-19 cases on Sunday as debate rages on whether the country should start living with the virus in the community, after initially being successful with suppressing coronavirus. Australia's most populous state New South Wales (NSW), the epicentre of the nation's Delta-fuelled outbreak, reported 1,218 cases as authorities there are set to slightly ease restrictions after nine weeks in lockdown. The lockdown is scheduled to last until the end of September. NSW state Premier Gladys Berejiklian vowed to reopen the state once 70% of those 16 and older get vaccinated. "No matter what the case numbers are doing (...) double-dose 70% in NSW means freedom for those who are vaccinated," Berejiklian said. On Sunday, she said the s...

How one unvaccinated teacher caused 26 others to get sick with COVID-19 – New York Post

An unvaccinated California elementary school teacher, who went to work while sick with COVID-19, ended up infecting 26 people, including half of the class, according to a report.

The teacher first attributed the symptoms to allergies and later developed a cough, fever, and headache, according to Marin County health officials and local experts.
