Coronavirus: UK becomes the first country to back studies that would purposely infect COVID-19 volunteers

Oct 20 2020 Share

The government has said it would initially spend £33.6 million on the studies, but regulators and the ethics committees will need to approve the study before they can move forward. 

If approved, a potential vaccine which has proven to be safe in initial trials will be offered to healthy volunteers between the ages of 18 and 30. In a controlled environment, they will then be exposed to COVID-19 and monitored 24 hours a day to see if the vaccine works and whether there are any side effects.

Study advocates believe the approach will produce results quicker than conventional studies, as volunteers are not waiting to be exposed to the disease-which could potentially save thousands of lives.

An answer to the list that described the possibilities of each element the iPhone 13 will consist of, Jon Prosser, who was generally correct about what the iPhone 12 would contain tweeted his views.    

Prosser states that the 120Hz monitor is already in progress and a built-in fingerprint reader is a 50 percent possibility, but a USB-C port is’ not (ever) happening.’ Despite the USB-C being superior to the currently used Lightning link, the aim of Apple is to switch directly from wired to wireless, meaning that the creation of physical links will not be in line with its vision.
