Elon Musk is continuing to detail his battle with coronavirus, claiming it feels no different to him than a 'minor cold.' Musk claimed he took four coronavirus tests in a day, two coming back positive and two negative, and declared 'something extremely bogus is going on.' Since then, he has gone into detail on Twitter about the symptoms he has been experiencing and how he has been feeling on a regular basis. In one response to a tweet on Saturday evening, Musk said, 'A little up & down. Feels just like a regular cold, but more body achy & cloudy head than coughing/sneezing. DayQuil rocks.' He followed up on Sunday morning: 'Yeah, I feel pretty normal. No symptoms right now. Last week, I had symptoms of a minor cold. I’ve had some brutal flu/cold experiences, but this was mild & hopefully over.'  Elon Musk originally said that he felt the symptoms of a 'minor cold' Musk used NyQuil, which seemingly helped him limit the symptoms he was

Care homes will be able to allow visitors over Christmas, Health Secretary Matt Hancock promised today  Care homes will finally be able to allow in-person visits over Christmas by testing relatives for Covid-19, Health Secretary Matt Hancock announced today.  The Government is piloting rapid testing in 20 care homes in low-infection areas in Hampshire, Devon and Cornwall to see if it is safe to let family members visit vulnerable residents indoors.  Mr Hancock said, if effective, he plans to expand the programme  across England within weeks.  In a round of interviews this morning, the health secretary said: 'I hope to have that in place for all care homes by Christmas.'  The move would finally allow families to visit loved ones in the flesh without the need for 'prison-like' windows for the first time in eight months. Under current rules, relatives can often only see loved ones through plastic screens. A small number of care homes had been allowing garden or drive-throu

Ed Sheeran has lost £1million from the value of his sprawling 'Sheeranville' estate because of the renovations he has done, it has been claimed.  The musician spent £4million buying a farmhouse and four neighbouring homes to create his rural idyll in childhood town Framlingham, Suffolk.  He then splashed out a further £3million on extravagant additions including a pub, a tree house, prayer room and wildlife pond. But, according to The Sun, Sheeran could actually have lopped 25 per cent off the future price of his estate.  Ed Sheeran has lost £1million from the value of his sprawling 'Sheeranville' estate because of the renovations he has done, it has been claimed The musician spent £4million buying a farmhouse and four neighbouring homes to create his rural idyll in childhood town Framlingham, Suffolk Estate agent Paul Gibbens, of website Housebyers4u told the newspaper: 'As the estate is so unique to Ed's taste, it could actually have a negative impact on the s

Colin Hughes, chief executive of AQA, said a grades boost for certain GCSE and A-level students next summer was among the options being considered Students in areas hit hardest by covid may be given higher marks to ensure they are not disadvantaged, an exam board boss said today.  Colin Hughes, chief executive of AQA, said a grades boost for certain GCSE and A-level students next summer was among the options being considered to manage the impact of the pandemic.  The move would copy the 'special consideration' currently given to some pupils who have been 'disadvantaged due to illness or avoidable circumstances'.  'One of the things that's being talked about is the notion that we could apply some kind of regional special consideration,' Mr Hughes told the Times Education Supplement. 'So this particular region was hit really hard or even this particular school had it really hard.' Mr Hughes - whose exam board covers England, Wales and Northern Ireland,

Ten people were gassed to death by cookers which emitted carbon monoxide when their grill doors closed, an inquest heard today. Maureen Cook, 47, and her parents Audrey, 86, and Alfred Cook, 90, died in their static caravan home in Camborne, Cornwall, in 2013.  Kevin Branton, 32, and Richard Smith, 30, died at their home in Saltash in Cornwall, in November 2010.  All five victims owned gas cookers made by Arçelik, the parent company of Beko. An inquest which opened into their deaths today heard the cookers created a build-up of carbon monoxide when the grill was used with the door closed.  It is believed the appliances may be linked to 18 fatalities in the UK and Ireland.   Kevin Branton, 32 and Richard Smith, 30 from Saltash in Cornwall, died on November 13, 2010 Alfred Cook, 90, who was also known to his friends as John, and his 86-year-old wife Audrey were two of the people killed by carbon monoxide poisoning from the faulty cooker The Beko oven which caused the death of Richard S

Rishi Sunak was today warned against adopting a pay as you drive scheme to fill a £40 billion tax hole caused by the switch to electric vehicles as motoring campaigners said it would be viewed as a 'poll tax on wheels' . The Chancellor is said to be 'very interested' in the idea of a national road pricing system, which would see motorists charged for every mile they drive, and he is currently considering its merits. A similar type of scheme was dramatically shelved by Labour in 2007 amid uproar that drivers could be charged up to £1.50 a mile.  The reemergence of the policy has sparked a swift backlash, with The AA warning of a driver revolt and urging ministers to come up with a 'more imaginative solution'.  Road pricing in England is currently limited to schemes such as the M6 Toll in the Midlands, the Dartford crossing on the M25, London's Congestion Zone and a handful of small tunnels and bridges. But a national policy is now being considered amid fears
