thedailymirror--2020-05-14--Coronavirus could take up to five years to bring under control, WHO warns

It could be four to five years before the Covid-19 pandemic is under control , a senior global health official has said .
Soumya Swaminathan , the World Health Organisation 's ( WHO ) chief scientist , told the FT 's Global Boardroom digital conference : `` I would say in a four to five-year timeframe , we could be looking at controlling this . ''
Influential factors include whether the virus matures , the containment measures put in place and the development of a vaccine , she told the conference .
She said that a vaccine `` seems for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ but there were `` lots of ifs and buts '' about its efficacy and safety , as well as its production and equitable distribution , the newspaper reported .
Asked about the comments during the WHO 's tri-weekly briefing from Geneva , Dr Mike Ryan , who heads up the organisation 's health emergencies programme , said no one could predict when the disease would disappear .

But he also issued a warning about easing lockdown measures without appropriate surveillance measures in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be waiting to see if opening of lockdowns have worked counting the bodies in the morgue . ''
He said : `` We have a new virus entering the human population for the first time , and therefore it is very hard to predict when we will prevail over it .
`` What is clear , and I think maybe what Soumya may have been alluding to , is that the current number of people in our population who 've been infected is actually relatively low .
`` And if you 're a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the absence of a vaccine , and you try and calculate 'how long is it going to take for enough people to be infected so that this disease settles into an endemic trace ' ?
`` And it is important to put this on the table - this virus may become just another endemic virus in our communities .
And this virus may never go away .
`` HIV has not gone away , we 've come to terms with the virus and we have found the therapies and we found the prevention @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as scared as they did before and we 're offering long healthy life to people with HIV . ''
He continued : `` I do n't think anyone can predict when or if this disease will disappear .
`` We do have one great hope - if we do find a highly effective vaccine that we can distribute to everyone who needs it in the world , we may have a shot at eliminating this virus .
`` But that vaccine will have to be highly effective , it will have to be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ will have to use it . ''
But citing unvaccinated populations for diseases like measles , he went on : `` Forgive me if I 'm cynical .
But we have some perfectly effective vaccines on this planet that we have not used effectively for diseases we could eliminate and eradicate and we have n't done .
`` We 've lacked the will , we have lacked the determination to invest in health systems to deliver that .
`` And therefore , science can come up with the vaccine - someone is going @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to make enough of it so everyone can get a dose of it and we 've got to be able to deliver that .
`` And people have got to want to take that vaccine .
Every single one of those steps is fraught with challenges . ''
But he added : `` It 's a massive opportunity for the world .
`` The idea that a new disease could emerge , cause a pandemic , and we could - with a massive moonshot - find a vaccine and give that to everyone @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in its tracks will turn , maybe what has been a tragic pandemic , into a beacon of hope for the future of our planet and the way we care for our citizens . ''
Meanwhile , on countries reopening after lockdowns , Dr Ryan warned that surveillance systems must be in place or it could be `` days or weeks '' before officials know the virus is `` accelerating '' again .
`` If that virus transmission accelerates and you do n't have the systems to detect it , it will be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ has gone wrong .
`` And by the time that happens , you 're back into a situation where your only response is another lockdown .
`` And I think this is what we all fear - a vicious cycle of public health disaster , followed by an economic disaster , followed by public health disaster , followed by economic disaster . ''
He went on : `` If the health system gets time to recover , then it can cope with another rise in cases , and the health system can probably @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 'm not sure how many times the economic system can do that . ''
Dr Ryan added : `` We should not be waiting to see if opening of lockdowns has worked by counting the cases in the ICU ( intensive care units ) , or counting the bodies in the morgue , that is not the way to know something has gone wrong .
`` The way to know that the disease is coming back is to have community-based surveillance , to be testing , and to know the problem is coming @ @ @ @ @ @ @ adjust your public health measures accordingly .

Germany legend Karl-Heinz Rummenigge has claimed the Bundesliga will have an audience of “ billions ” this weekend – and will be a great advert for his nation .

Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund and co will return to Bundesliga action this weekend with the competition expecting a global audience
Germany legend Karl-Heinz Rummenigge has claimed the Bundesliga will have an audience of “billions” this weekend – and will be a great advert for his nation.
The Bayern Munich chief executive said: “The Bundesliga is now the first major league in the world to start playing again.
"And if the Bundesliga is the only league around the world to be broadcast on TV, then I assume that we will have an audience of billions all over the world.
"This will not only be an advertisement for our football, for the Bundesliga, but for the whole country and especially for German politics, which made this possible with its very good approach.

"When I was a young guy, 'Made in Germany' was a trademark. This has been somewhat lost in recent years. The restart of the Bundesliga also shows: 'Made in Germany' is again an absolute seal of approval.”
BT Sport pundit Owen Hargreaves added: “Forget football, the whole world will be watching this weekend to see if this works because the NFL, the NBA, they are all watching to see how this goes. It’s not just a sporting context.
"They shut it down quite quickly. If this goes well, you will see people around the world try to implement this.”

thedailymirror--2020-05-13--Bayern Munich deliver Leroy Sane warning to Man City as transfer saga rumbles on

Bayern Munich chief Karl-Heinz Rummeenigge has suggested the club will not be held to ransom for Leroy Sane .
Manchester City want around £100million for the 24-year-old with the Germany winger keen on the move after falling in the Etihad pecking order under Pep Guardiola .
Rummenigge said : “ There will still be players who demand a high price .
But the big question is : Who is able to pay this price ?
“ Cash is a position that no longer exists on a large scale in professional football .
“ Maybe it ’ s good that we @ @ @ @ @ @ @ stable .
After all , the risk for clubs has been increasing in recent years.
” Sane has missed the entire season after picking up a serious injury in City 's Community Shield win over Liverpool back in August .
There were rumours of a move to Bavaria coming to fruition back then but his injury curtailed any possible exit .
Sane has been a quality performer since moving to Manchester from Schalke as one of Guardiola 's first signings in 2016 .
He has scored 39 goals in 134 games and is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Robben at the Allianz Arena .
Bayern had Robben and Franck Ribery on either flank for almost a decade but the duo called time on their careers in Germany last summer .
Serge Gnabry has become a crucial member of the squad , but the German giants are still keen to strengthen out wide .
Guardiola has regularly stated that he wants Sane to remain in Manchester but admitted in January that , with 18 months remaining on the player 's deal , it is out of his hands .
`` It 's @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and the club , I 'm not involved in that , '' he said .

Carlos Tevez 's agent has hit back at claims from Gary Neville that the Argentine `` downed tools '' in his final year at Manchester United .
The striker had been influential in the Red Devils ' Premier League and Champions League success .
He moved to Old Trafford in 2007 and spent two years at the club , scoring 34 times , before heading across town to join Manchester City .
But prior to the move Neville accused the now 36-year-old of coming out late for training and sitting on the treatment table .
`` What annoyed me about @ @ @ @ @ @ @ his second season , '' said the Sky Sports pundit .
`` I felt disappointed that , as a professional , he did n't act the right way . ''
But Kia Joorabchian has defended his client and dismissed any suggestion he conduct was not up to scratch .
He said : `` Absolutely not , he was desperate to play .
He scored 15 goals with seven assists , his record was superb .
Every time , he was available for every game bar the three he missed through injury .
`` @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be questioned is Gary Neville because he did n't do his homework on Carlos ' career or as a reporter to say why Tevez was n't [ professional ] .
`` He never made any phone calls , he never asked the question of me or anyone to know what has happened .
He just makes comments time and time again .
`` By saying things like that , he is putting a mark on the back of a player who has won double or triple the trophies he has ever won .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ single league he has ever played in , he has been nominated as player of the year in South America more than any other player in history and now , at the age of 34 , he 's just won the league and scored the winning goal with Boca Juniors again . ''

But Joorabchian was keen to point out that United could 've kept hold of the player had they wanted to .
He continued : `` Generally speaking @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the treatment table and he spoke about people being in his [ Tevez 's ] ear .
`` What he does n't understand is , and this is when a reporter should have the correct information , no matter who was in his ear , no matter who was speaking to him , if Man United had wanted to exercise an option , all they had to do was sign a paper and send it to the Premier League . ''

thedailymirror--2020-05-13--Piers Morgan blocks Lydia Bright's mum after she complains about his negativity

Piers Morgan has taken the plunge and 'blocked ' Lydia Bright 's mum Debbie after she complained about his negativity surrounding the coronavirus pandemic .
The outspoken Good Morning Britain presenter , 55 , decided that enough was enough before cutting ties - albeit loose ones - from the TOWIE star 's mum .
Taking to Twitter today , he wrote : `` I ’ ve had to block her [ Debbie ] now , she was being too negative about me ... '' The fiery exchange kicked off after one Twitter user penned : `` Can ’ t deal @ @ @ @ @ @ @ well asking some important questions now all he wan na do is bring people in , interrupt them and try to embarrass them and be negative . ''
The tweet concluded : `` He 's lost the plot .
Someone from his household give him a big cuddle and tell him to relax . ''
Mum-of-five Debbie then went on to agree with the tweet , saying : `` I said the same yesterday ...
I truly can not deal with his negativity everyday .
`` Life is difficult enough we all need @ @ @ @ @ @ @ low moods . ''
And the final straw for her was earlier this week when she told fans she was left with no choice but to switch from GMB to BBC Breakfast as a result of Piers ' `` constant negativity '' .
She said : `` Switched from @ GMB to @ BBCBreakfast .
I just can not stand the constant negativity in such difficult times .
STOP . ''
The presenter replied : `` Why do you follow me then ?
If you want constant uplifting positivity as 60,000 have died @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Love Islander or something . ''
It comes as Piers revealed that he is now banned from from attending the daily Government briefings on the pandemic .
The briefings are held at Downing Street every day , and journalists from a wide range of publications are able to dial in and ask questions virtually .
Piers has been consistently critical of Prime Minister Boris Johnson and the cabinet 's handling of the crisis .
