themanchestereveningnews--2020-10-29--Scientists discover new 'Covid toes' skin symptom

Scientists have discovered a new 'Covid toes ' skin symptom which people may end up developing when infected with the virus .
Research by the International League of Dermatological Societies and the American Academy of Dermatology found some patients had chilblain-like inflammation on their feet , sometimes lasting for months at a time .
The condition typically develops within a week to four weeks of developing coronavirus and can result in toes becoming swollen or changing colour .
Symptoms are said to be mild in the majority of cases and the feet return to normal within weeks .
Scientists have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ people require hospital treatment , while some of those with `` long Covid '' symptoms report cases lasting for several months .
Dr Esther Freeman , principal investigator of the International Covid-19 Dermatology Registry , the collaboration between the two research bodies , told the PA news agency : `` It seems there is a certain sub-group of patients that , when they get Covid , they develop inflammation in their toes , which turns them red and swollen , and then they eventually turn purple .
`` In most cases , it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ It is relatively mild .
`` It lasts on average about 15 days .
But we have seen patients lasting a month or two months.
” She added : `` What is very surprising is when you get beyond that 60-day mark – because it ’ s not like patients are resolving at day 70 .
`` It 's the fact that some of our patients are at over 150 days now – these are patients with red or purple or swollen toes for many months . ''
Dr Freeman said the identification @ @ @ @ @ @ @ including some in the UK – helps scientists understand more about coronavirus-related symptoms elsewhere in the body .
She said : `` We are starting to see long Covid in other organ systems , this is the first time we are recognising this can happen in the skin as well .
`` I think it raises a lot of questions about what sort of inflammation is going on – is there inflammation elsewhere in the body ?
`` We do n't really know the answer yet .
`` The skin can be viewed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the body because it is inflammation which you can see – and can be indicative of inflammation elsewhere . ''
About half of the patients in the registry are reported to have Covid toes and about 16 % of those had to be hospitalised as a result , the figures suggest .
The figures are submitted by doctors treating patients with skin issues in dozens of countries around the world , meaning there are potentially many people with Covid toes who have not sought medical help .
Dr Freeman said : `` I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ just the tip of the iceberg – it 's probably happening a lot more than we 're reporting but I think by reporting it more people will recognise it . ''

The condition typically develops within a week to four weeks of developing coronavirus and can result in toes becoming swollen or changing colour.
Symptoms are said to be mild in the majority of cases and the feet return to normal within weeks.
Scientists have also discovered that about one in six people require hospital treatment, while some of those with "long Covid" symptoms report cases lasting for several months.
Dr Esther Freeman, principal investigator of the International Covid-19 Dermatology Registry, the collaboration between the two research bodies, told the PA news agency: "It seems there is a certain sub-group of patients that, when they get Covid, they develop inflammation in their toes, which turns them red and swollen, and then they eventually turn purple.
"In most cases, it is self-resolved and it goes away. It is relatively mild.

"It lasts on average about 15 days. But we have seen patients lasting a month or two months.”
She added: "What is very surprising is when you get beyond that 60-day mark – because it’s not like patients are resolving at day 70.
"It's the fact that some of our patients are at over 150 days now – these are patients with red or purple or swollen toes for many months."
Dr Freeman said the identification of people with Covid toes symptoms – including some in the UK – helps scientists understand more about coronavirus-related symptoms elsewhere in the body.

"I think it raises a lot of questions about what sort of inflammation is going on – is there inflammation elsewhere in the body?
"We don't really know the answer yet.
"The skin can be viewed as a window into the rest of the body because it is inflammation which you can see – and can be indicative of inflammation elsewhere."
About half of the patients in the registry are reported to have Covid toes and about 16% of those had to be hospitalised as a result, the figures suggest.
The figures are submitted by doctors treating patients with skin issues in dozens of countries around the world, meaning there are potentially many people with Covid toes who have not sought medical help.

themanchestereveningnews--2020-10-29--SAGE warned 85,000 could die in 2nd wave as more scientists call for UK lockdown

A leaked scientific report has revealed that 85,000 people could die of coronavirus in a second wave lasting until the end of next spring .
The document , believed to have been presented to the prime minister in the summer and obtained by The Spectator magazine , sets out a “ worst case planning scenario ” for the second wave of COVID-19 in the UK .

Around 356,000 Covid patients could spend time in hospital with infections peaking at 100,000 a day , the report states .
It comes as major new analysis shows that 100,000 people are catching coronavirus every day in England .
The study , by Imperial College London , says the pace of the epidemic is accelerating and estimates the number of people infected is now doubling every nine days .
The authors say we are at a `` @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to change '' .
Imperial 's React-1 study is highly influential because it is the most up-to-date assessment of Covid-19 in the country , with the last swabs taken only on Sunday and nearly 86,000 volunteers taking part .
A further 24,701 new coronavirus cases were reported on Thursday - but the Imperial College study randomly tests asymptomatic people to estimate the number of overall new infections .

When asked if this meant tightening local lockdowns or national restrictions, he said: “I think what our study shows is there would be genuine benefits to some kind of national policy.
“In that we could prevent the pattern in the south turning into the current pattern in the north and bring about a reversal in the north as quickly as possible.”
He added: “If we’re going to end up using those restrictions that have been brought in elsewhere in Europe today and yesterday, if we’re going to do that, we should think about timing. And sooner is better than later for these.”
WHO special envoy Professor David Nabarro said coronavirus is spreading with a surprising ferocity but lockdown restrictions have slowed the spread in the North of the UK.

themanchestereveningnews--2020-10-29--Manchester United have learned from Paul Pogba mistake

It is no coincidence that when Paul Pogba plays well Manchester United play well too .
The French midfielder remains the most gifted player at the club , although his performances on the pitch do n't always give a clear indication of his complex skill set .
His open flirtation with Real Madrid earlier in the month once again brought into question his long-term commitment to the club , but after three trophyless seasons at Old Trafford you can understand why he wants better for his own medal collection .
The biggest worry for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has been working @ @ @ @ @ @ @ though it looks like he might have finally found his answer .
As the most talented and most expensive member of the team , there is a pressure on Solskjaer to get the best out of his World Cup winner — something which led to his mismanagement at the start of the season .
Pogba tested positive for coronavirus in late August but just three weeks later he was starting for United in their dreary opening day defeat to Crystal Palace .
The 27-year-old had only been in a handful of first-team training @ @ @ @ @ @ @ quite clearly should not have started the game , as Solskjaer later admitted .
He was rested for the trip to face Luton Town but again back from the start in poor performances against Brighton and Tottenham in the Premier League .
Pogba looked a shadow of his former self , that is because he was .
The international break gave the 27-year-old the opportunity to gain further fitness away with France but Solskjaer knew something had to change from the Tottenham horror show .
His solution has been perfect .
A midfield @ @ @ @ @ @ @ United solidify at the back with the expense of attacking threat , but allowed Pogba and Donny van de Beek to be introduced as impact substitutes from the bench .
Three encouraging midfield cameos against Newcastle , Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea saw Pogba introduced into the match with the freedom of being a game-changer , rather than the pressure of keeping things tight early on .
It meant the French midfielder was coming into the matches with a clear attacking role to play and it is one in which he has flourished .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ Pogba plays his best football on the left of a midfield three , with the formation switch against RB Leipzig perhaps the perfect set-up going forward for the current first-team squad .
United 's lack of natural wingers is catered for by a narrower style of play while their midfield balance is perfect in allowing Pogba , Bruno Fernandes and Fred to all play in their preferred roles .
Such a set-up also leaves them strong in reserve , with two of Nemanja Matic , Scott McTominay and Van de Beek options from @ @ @ @ @ @ @ game .
Despite playing far less since the international break Pogba 's impact on the pitch has been far bigger with his role as an impact substitute .
