Residents are said to be getting tested more than people in other parts of the country.

More testing and cases among unvaccinated young people are partly behind Devon's high Covid infection rate, a health official has said.

Devon's director of public health said it was partly due to residents testing more than other parts of the country. Steve Brown, director of public health for Devon County Council, said: "What I would say is that Devon residents are really good at testing so we are testing much more as a population than the rest of England as an average."

Push to vaccinate children accelerates as pediatric COVID-19 cases riseWeekly pediatric COVID-19 infections have risen by more than 40% since late October. 'Children younger than two who are given antibiotics are more likely to have a number of ongoing illnesses or conditions later in life...' How long before we're told the down side to these EXPERIMENTAL VACCINES?🤔 Both go into the body.

Memo: Disney pauses COVID-19 vaccine mandate in FloridaLAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. (AP) — Disney has paused its policy requiring Florida-based employees to take the COVID-19 vaccine following new laws passed by the state's legislature last week that limit employers' power to require vaccinations, according to a memo sent to employees.
