Hospital directors have repeatedly argued that the current lack in testing availability has led to more frequent absences among staff, which hinders the efforts of the crisis-hit NHS to recover. UK ministers are drawing up plans to restrict “frivolous demands” for coronavirus tests, conceding that they didn’t expect there would be so many people willing to take them, the Times reported, adding that despite a staggering 200,000 tests being carried out each day, demand is still much higher. Labs are understood to be struggling to process the piles of samples sent to them, forcing testing centres to cut down appointments, which […]

Call it a “gentlecoin,” perhaps? A new decentralized finance (DeFi) project aimed at softening volatility has closed a $1.68 million seed round led by Paradigm, with participation from Standard Crypto, Compound founder Robert Leshner and Variant Fund, from a16z alum Jesse Walden. Reflexer Labs is building a new asset called rai (RAI) that’s meant to follow the price movements of ether (ETH) but more gradually. “I think RAI will be extremely useful for protocols. A form of collateral that will help users not get liquidated that much,” Stefan Ionescu, the project’s CEO, told CoinDesk in a phone call. Or, as Paradigm […]

The Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) first received a clinical sample of the unknown virus that later became known as SARS-CoV-2 on 30 December 2020, Wang Yanyi, an immunologist and director of the institute, told CGTN broadcaster on 23 May, denouncing the Trump administration’s claims that the novel coronavirus escaped […]
