COVID-19, H5N1, Bundibugyo Ebola, Cyclosporiasis, Vaccination and Other Virus and Health UK and World News Update 4th August 2026

I completely forgot to mention that I'd be busy with family over the next 2 or 3 weeks, so here is an early surprise news update, then I'm having a an extra week off between reports, and I'll be back every 2 weeks from 28th August...

UKHSA estimates show that 2,877 people in England lost their lives in May and June because of the heat. That is almost double the whole of last year and only 108 off the full year record of 2,985 deaths set in 2022. With more hot weather expected this coming week, please be sensible, and look out for vulnerable friends and family.
