Sir Ed was in a buoyant temper as he introduced his action-packed tour of the nation to Romsey on Wednesday.

The Liberal Democrats didn’t win any of Hampshire’s 18 parliamentary constituencies within the 2019 basic election.

Nonetheless, they did ballot second in eight seats and former minister Sir Ed mentioned there had been an awesome response on the doorstep alongside the present marketing campaign path.

He mentioned: “I don’t put a ceiling on our ambitions. We’re doing very well right here in Romsey and North Southampton. Winchester is trying actually good. Locations like Eastleigh as properly and there are different locations the place what we’re discovering on the doorstep is admittedly encouraging.

“In lots of elements of Hampshire individuals realise it’s a battle between the Liberal Democrats and the Conservatives.

“Labour aren’t actually an enormous drive in giant elements of Hampshire and what’s completely different from this election to any election I’ve fought is the quantity of people that have at all times voted Conservative saying they aren’t going to do it once more and that’s fairly a seismic change.”

Sir Ed mentioned votes shifting from Conservative to Liberal Democrat may make a “huge distinction” in areas similar to Romsey, Eastleigh and Winchester, that are all at present held by Rishi Sunak’s celebration.

The Liberal Democrats have giant majorities on councils in Winchester and Eastleigh, whereas they’re additionally the most important celebration on Portsmouth Metropolis Council.

Throughout his go to to the Romsey and Southampton North constituency with candidate Geoff Cooper on Wednesday, June 5, Sir Ed took half in music train class drumtastic with residents at Abbotswood Courtroom Care Residence.

Sir Ed, a carer himself for his teenage son, mentioned care was central to the Liberal Democrat manifesto within the election.

“Too many individuals, aged individuals specifically, disabled individuals, should not getting the care they want,” he mentioned.

“It’s an exquisite care dwelling right here and it’s a actually beautiful care they’re getting. It’s nice to see however many individuals don’t [get that].”

It’s 7.30am and I’m desperately attempting to get three of my 4 younger kids prepared for college. 

My daughter Annabelle, 9, wants assist entering into her faculty costume. This could solely take a minute, however I’ve already been attempting for 30. 

Annabelle is pacing the room and every time I get shut, she pushes me away. If I persist, she’ll lash out – probably hurting me or herself.

‘Mummy, the place’s our breakfast?’ asks my son Alex, 5. ‘Are you able to make us a drink?’ joins in his twin brother, Oliver. They attempt to do it themselves so now there’s water dripping onto the ground. I must mop it up earlier than Annabelle slips over. 

I begin to panic – they want my assist, however Annabelle isn’t dressed and desires to depart for college. I frantically make her some meals and assist her to eat and drink whereas the twins are nonetheless ready and taking a look at me expectantly. Now I really feel responsible – they want me, too.

It’s the identical chaos each morning.

Annabelle has a uncommon genetic situation referred to as FoxP1. It’s a syndrome that causes a number of disabilities, together with autism, cerebral palsy and world improvement delay. 

She’s predominantly non-verbal, and shows difficult behaviour. She wants help with dressing and undressing, toileting, consuming and ingesting – requiring supervision always.

Identical to Sir Ed Davey, chief of the Liberal Democrats, I’m terrified about Annabelle’s future once I die due to the cuts being made to social care provision. It’s my greatest worry. 

Davey has a disabled son, John, and admitted that one in all his ‘greatest fears in life’ is who will take care of him when he’s gone. ‘He’s going to want 24/7 look after the remainder of his life, I fear about who’s going to take care of him,’ Davey instructed ITV in an interview.

Like him, I’m now aware of my very own mortality, and I fear how Annabelle would cope with out me. Worrying about what’s going to occur once I’m now not round retains me awake at night time.

I realised early on that Annabelle’s older brother James, 12, would face robust choices referring to her care once I die and didn’t need him to hold these alone. This is among the causes I made a decision to strive for a 3rd baby – although I didn’t financial institution on having twins! 

Though I’m delighted that Annabelle has an ‘military’ of assist who can struggle for her once I now not can, I don’t need any of my sons to really feel obligated to supply that care themselves as a result of I understand how exhausting and all-consuming it’s. They’ve their very own lives to dwell, and I need them to have the ability to comply with their goals.

I really like Annabelle immeasurably – and am enormously happy with her – however caring for her is relentless. Can I belief different individuals to take care of her like I do? Will there even be anybody left to look after her? 

Mencap, the training incapacity charity, are involved in regards to the tons of of hundreds of individuals working in social care who’re leaving the sector as a result of authorities underfunding means the wages are too low. A 3rd of individuals have left the sector for good.

There’s a large scarcity of social care staff as a result of many are sometimes solely paid just a little above minimal wage and might get extra stacking cabinets.

Annabelle is just 9, however I’ve already seen large cuts in provision for SEND (particular instructional wants and disabilities) kids, throughout the board – together with each in therapies and social care assist. 

This yr alone, Annabelle’s speech remedy has been lower by 75%, and what little assist is out there to households like mine might quickly be a factor of the previous. 

When Annabelle was born, I had no thought she was disabled. Then she started lacking milestones. 

Simply after her first birthday a guide instructed me she may by no means stroll or speak. I felt like I had been hit by a truck. Immediately, my complete world was turned the other way up.

I naively thought there can be assist out there, however there have been lengthy ready lists for NHS therapies. So my husband and I started paying privately, spending tons of of kilos every month on remedy we couldn’t afford. 

As an alternative of simply being a mom, I used to be Annabelle’s occupational therapist, speech therapist and physiotherapist, too. I used to be attempting to carry down a component time job, however Annabelle was in hospital so repeatedly that I needed to give up work, making issues even more durable financially.

My husband Philip was in a demanding job, so I used to be balancing all of the remedy and hospital appointments. My life had modified past all recognition, however my husband nonetheless had his job, his identification. I had misplaced all the things. 

The calls for of caring for a disabled baby with a number of advanced wants put an enormous pressure on our relationship.

I learnt we may apply for a carers evaluation and I begged for some respite as a result of I used to be at breaking level. I used to be turned down twice ‘as a result of Annabelle didn’t require 24 hour oxygen’. We solely acquired some respite after I gave beginning to twins – and took our native authority to court docket.

Sadly, my expertise isn’t distinctive – Mencap estimates that no less than 2.6m individuals within the UK go with out the care they want. Social care provision has slipped far beneath an appropriate stage and is having very actual penalties for tens of millions of disabled individuals and their unpaid carers.

I’m historically from a Conservative household, however I gained’t be voting for the Conservatives on this summer season’s election. Their therapy of carers – and our disabled kids – is unforgivable. 

Actually, I don’t have a lot religion in any of the 2 predominant political events – sadly, I don’t suppose politicians care about disabled individuals until, like Sir Ed Davey, they’ve lived expertise. 

Current analysis by charity Scope echoes my ideas. It discovered 8 out of 10 disabled individuals suppose politicians are out of contact with their lives whereas greater than half (58%) of disabled individuals suppose politicians don’t care about them.

I need to see whichever authorities comes into energy taking social care and SEND reform severely. 

I need the subsequent authorities to repair the damaged system. I need disabled households to be a precedence and I need them to recognise the worth of each paid and household carers.

It’s why I’m backing the Present Us You Care marketing campaign, launched by a coalition of social care charities – together with Mencap. 

They’re calling for £8.4bn of pressing funding to fulfill present want and drive enhancements; a funded plan for recruiting and retaining the social care workforce, and for social care staff to be paid a minimal wage that’s consistent with Band 3 NHS staff.

Whichever social gathering delivers on this, will all the time get my vote.

A brand new pressure of fowl flu, H5N2, was simply recognized in Mexico Metropolis, following the dying of a 59-year-old man. The pressure, totally different from the H5N1 fowl flu that has contaminated three dairy farm employees within the U.S., has not been beforehand seen in individuals. A part of the concern is that the person had been bedridden at house and had no identified publicity to birds or animals.

The person did have underlying diabetes and continual kidney failure, each of which make individuals extra prone to infections. He turned ailing on April 17 with fever, shortness of breath and diarrhea. He died on April 24. None of his contacts have had optimistic assessments for flu A so far. Nonetheless, El Common reported that “12 contacts (seven symptomatic and 5 asymptomatic) had been recognized close to the affected person’s residence” and that serology is pending. H5N2 has been identified to be circulating in birds within the space.

It’s complicated to maintain all of the names of the totally different flu sorts straight—H5N1, H5N2, fowl flu, swine flu, flu A, flu B and extra.

The three foremost sorts of flu, A, B and C, are named after core proteins. Now we have annual outbreaks of influenza A, which is probably the most critical. Influenza A H1N1 precipitated the lethal 1918 outbreak. Flu B is normally much less extreme and causes infections each few years. Flu C hasn’t precipitated epidemics.

The “H” and “N” within the names check with floor proteins, hemagglutinin and neuraminidase, which assist the virus stick with and invade the cells. Generally, the strains mutate and swap genetic materials, making it extra infective. This occurred when H1N1 and H2N2 mixed and mutated in birds, leading to a “fowl flu” that would now infect individuals. This resulted within the 1957 influenza pandemic in Asia from H2N2, a novel (new to people) pressure.

Strains are additionally divided into extremely pathogenic avian influenza or low pathogenic. The most important concern in latest months has been HPAI H5N1.

The very best illustration of the connection between totally different flu strains in individuals and animals is that by David McCandless.

H5N1 is the pressure decimating some poultry flocks and dairy herds. We all know it has unfold to trigger sickness in a couple of individuals, however we don’t know the extent as a result of solely restricted and insufficient testing is being finished.

“We’re making the identical errors at the moment that we made with COVID. And what do I imply by that? We’re not testing to actually see how many individuals have been uncovered and acquired asymptomatically contaminated,” Deborah Birx, former Covid-19 response coordinator, instructed CNN. “We could possibly be pool testing each dairy employee. I do imagine that there’s undetected circumstances in people, as a result of we’re as soon as once more solely monitoring individuals with signs. Once we did that with COVID, the virus unfold all through the Northeast undetected.”

Influenza specialist Andy Pekosz, Ph.D. echoed this, saying, “Proper now, there needs to be in depth, maybe weekly testing of all dairy farm employees coupled with elevated availability and coaching of employees to make use of protecting gear.”

He added, “My understanding is that these applications have capability, however as a result of they’re voluntary, they want settlement from farmers and farmer employees to take part. CDC can not mandate testing, however they’ll present it. I feel elevated testing and protecting gear could be finished in a approach that’s minimally disruptive to a dairy farm operation, however clearly there’s reticence to participate in these voluntary applications.”

With this Mexican affected person, the consensus amongst specialists is that that is probably an remoted “spillover” case, and the danger to the overall inhabitants may be very low. Nonetheless, there’s rising concern that this or the H5N1 virus within the U.S. will mutate and grow to be extra infectious. H5 viruses are reportedly extra more likely to infect individuals than different strains.

There was an ongoing outbreak of H5N1 in Asia with a a lot larger mortality. Pekosz stated there was “higher documentation of the case-fatality charge there,” given their larger numbers. “The big variety of circumstances in Asia are primarily on account of elevated human-poultry contact in that a part of the world. In case you restrict issues like dwell fowl markets and supply poultry farm employees with some primary protecting gear, you possibly can drastically restrict human H5N1 circumstances anyplace, however significantly in Southeast Asia.”

The H5N1 virus is more and more present in numerous wild animals, most just lately cats and mice. Dr. Rick Shiny, virologist, pandemic professional and former head of the U.S. Biomedical Superior Analysis and Growth Authority, instructed The Telegraph, “This brings the virus nearer to human properties. It will increase the danger of direct publicity and an infection.” It’s going to make any management efforts far tougher because the mice can shortly unfold an infection. Rodents are infamous for inflicting epidemics, from the Black Loss of life (bubonic plague), to Lassa fever in Africa, to Hantavirus within the Southwest U.S.

One other criticism of present management efforts is that there’s a delay of weeks in making information public, and genetic sequencing to see similarities between strains can also be not being made public. Shiny famous, “Must urgently see sequences to know if it was totally avian virus, or attainable reassortant with human H3N2 virus.”

Persons are additionally calling for vaccinations to be supplied for dairy employees, which is being began in Finland.

For now, your greatest security precautions are to put on masks and goggles if within the neighborhood of cows being milked and to keep away from uncooked dairy merchandise. I’d additionally suggest avoiding 4H membership reveals or county gala’s. In case you can’t resist going, it could be most secure to put on a masks and goggles, given what we at present find out about transmission.

Officers imagine this can be a single outbreak of E.Coli, however because of the extensive unfold of instances geographically, it’s doubtless linked to a nationally distributed meals merchandise or a number of meals gadgets.

As of 4 June, there have been 113 confirmed instances related to this outbreak of STEC O145 within the UK. The bulk have been in England (81 instances), with 61% of these impacted on this a part of UK hospitalised.

Elsewhere in Wales and Scotland, there have been 18 and 13 studies, respectively. There has to this point solely been 1 reported case in Northern Eire, however proof suggests they had been contaminated whereas visiting England.

On common, the UK sees round 1,500 instances of STEC over the course of a yr. Numbers of confirmed instances related to this specific outbreak are anticipated to rise as additional samples endure entire genome sequencing.

The outbreak has impacted youngsters as younger as two, as much as adults aged 79. Nonetheless, nearly all of instances seem like in younger adults.

Whereas the supply has not been confirmed, there isn’t any proof but to counsel a hyperlink to open farms, consuming water or swimming in contaminated seawater, lakes or rivers.

“​The FSA is working with UKHSA and related public well being our bodies to determine the supply of the sickness, which is prone to be linked to a number of meals gadgets,”​ Darren Whitby, head of incidents and resilience on the Meals Requirements Company (FSA), commented.

“We all the time advise shoppers and people taking care of susceptible folks to make sure good hygiene practices are adopted when dealing with and making ready meals, repeatedly washing palms with cleaning soap and heat water and making certain tools, utensils and surfaces meals come into contact with are cleaned totally to forestall cross contamination.​

“You shouldn’t put together meals for others when you have had signs, or for 48 hours after signs cease.”​

Officers say additional info and recommendation might be printed because the investigation continues. Nonetheless, it additionally notes that not all outbreak investigations reveal a supply, significantly if they’re linked to merchandise that rapidly depart the provision chain.

In different information, Lincolnshire will see a brand new meals waste recycling website erected.​​

A complete of 25 passengers had been sickened, Martee Black, a spokesperson for the Houston Fireplace Division, informed Nexstar.

Neither the HFD, nor United, mentioned which cruise the passengers might have taken.

“United Airways is actively coordinating with well being authorities to handle the state of affairs,” an airline spokesperson mentioned. “As a precautionary measure, the plane will probably be faraway from service and undergo a deep cleansing earlier than returning to service. Guaranteeing the well being and security of our passengers and crew stays our high precedence.”

Circumstances of norovirus on cruise ships, in the meantime, have been reported on a number of totally different cruise traces in latest months, sickening a whole bunch of passengers, in line with the CDC.

Outbreaks of norovirus are mentioned to be the “most frequent” reason for abdomen bugs on cruise ships, the CDC notes, although cruises are a comparatively uncommon setting for such outbreaks, accounting for under about 1% within the U.S., the company says. (They’re extra steadily reported in well being care services, eating places and baby care facilities.) Nonetheless, such outbreaks might be “particularly difficult to manage” on cruise vessels due to passengers sharing leisure and eating areas, the CDC says.

Others would take wickets in between, in fact, however these two would proceed to impose themselves.
