It was a simple show of love between husband and wife taken for granted in the days before the arrival of Coronavirus's dark shadow.  But yesterday Bob Underhill, 84, was able to finally kiss his beloved Patricia, 82, after cruel Covid restrictions that had separated them were lifted at last. The emotional scene took place in the care home where she lives due to her Alzheimer's, but was made possible by a new roll-out of coronavirus tests. It meant after weeks of separation, Bob was able to comfort his wife and gaze into her eyes as he squeezed her hand as if they were decades younger.  Their reunion at Chiswick Nursing Centre was made possible by a million tests promised by the Department of Health and Social Care. Their kits have already been sent out to almost 400 large care homes, meaning the first visits could take place today - with visitors cleared of Covid on arrival. Some providers have privately aired concerns over the timing of the announcement, having received no te

An historic 132-year-old mansion has caught on fire after a wild thunderstorm swept across Sydney, sparking 25,000 lighting strikes. Fast-moving storms tore through Greater Sydney, the Central Coast, Hunter Valley and the Illawarra regions on Tuesday night, bringing hail, fallen trees and leaving 21,000 homes without power on the first day of summer.

That coalition, which was only formed after three bitterly-fought elections between Netanyahu and Gantz failed to produce a clear winner, was plagued from the outset by in-fighting and recriminations.

Dr. Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, says sports fans should not expect to return to games en masse until the final months of 2021 due to the challenges of rolling out COVID-19 vaccines. Fauci, who has consistently cautioned against spectators attending games, told Yahoo! Sports on Monday that unrestricted crowds at sporting events will be among 'the last things' Americans will see as the country recovers from the pandemic. 'We're gonna be vaccinating the highest-priority people the end of December through January, February, March,' Fauci said. 'By the time you get to the general public, the people who'll be going to the basketball games, who don't have any underlying conditions, that's gonna be starting the end of April, May, June. 'So it probably will be well into the end of the summer before you can really feel comfortable with full sports – if a lot of people get vaccinated. I don'
