Sharon Osbourne 'beside herself with worry' as husband Ozzy continues to battle Covid
Sharon Osbourne has been forced to temporarily abandon her role on TalkTV after hearing the news that her husband had been struck down with coronavirus.The news came in spite of reports that Ozzy had been obsessively careful, and Sharon panicked as he has been hospitalised with flu complications in the past.Back in 2019, a mere matter of months before Covid hit the headlines, Ozzy was forced to take a break from his European tour schedule after a flu virus caused him to be rushed to hospital.Now Sharon fears that history will repeat itself, prompting her to head back to LA to be with her husband, where she has remained.The wife of Black Sabbath rocker Ozzy had only been in Britain for three days when she received the news.Sharon revealed to The Talk this evening that she has contracted covid too after nursing Ozzy, explaining: "My daughter Kelly has it, I have it and the entire household has it now."Sharon confirmed on TalkTV that she "didn't stop crying for three months" after being dropped as a panelist by CBS.She also revealed that after her comments about Meghan Markle, she'd endured death threats that affected her entire family - even her pets."They wanted to kill my dogs.Then they started on Ozzy and I thought 'This is just insanity,'" she exclaimed.Now there is fresh trauma in store for Ozzy, who a source has claimed had done everything possible to avoid being struck down with the virus."[He] was badly paranoid about getting Covid because of everything that he has been through," the source revealed to The Mirror."He heard about Covid spreading on surfaces and got so paranoid that he got all takeaway deliveries coming into the house sprayed outside with anti-bacterial treatments."However, even those precautions

COVID-19 Omicron sub-variants dodge immunity from past infection, South African study finds
JOHANNESBURG - Researchers in South Africa have found two new Omicron sub-variants that were able to evade antibodies from previous infections and vaccinations, Reuters reported on May 1. According to a study, led by the Africa Health Research Institute in South Africa, researchers found that blood samples from vaccinated individuals showed their antibody production dropped eight times when tested against the two Omicron sub-variants, BA.4 and BA.5, according to Reuters."The vaccinated group showed about a 5-fold higher neutralization capacity ... and should be better protected," said the study, a pre-print of which was obtained by Reuters. The new findings follow a warning from South Africa’s health minister who said last week the country has already likely entered a new wave of COVID-19 earlier than expected following a recent rise in hospitalizations and infections. The increase in new cases has been dominated by the BA.4 and BA.5 lineages of the omicron variant which dominated the country’s earlier wave of the virus."Whichever way you look at it, it does suggest that we may actually be entering the fifth wave much earlier," Health Minister Joe Phaahla said Friday at a televised press briefing.He said officials will be watching carefully over the next few days to determine if the increase is sustained which would confirm a new wave.A health worker administers a Covid-19 vaccine to a student during a rural vaccination drive by Broadreach NGO at Duduzile Secondary School in Mpumalanga, South Africa, on Wednesday, March 9, 2022.

Van Morrison appears to address Northern Ireland health minister on new single ‘Dangerous’
Van Morrison‘s new track ‘Dangerous’ appears to reference the musician’s ongoing feud with Robin Swann, the Northern Ireland Minister Of Health.Last November, Swann filed a defamation lawsuit against Morrison over comments he had made regarding COVID-19 earlier in 2021.During a pre-show dinner event in Belfast in June, Morrison branded Swann “very dangerous” in a response to Swann criticising him for his anti-lockdown stance in a 2020 op-ed, in which he said Morrison’s words “will give great comfort to the conspiracy theorists”.On Friday (April 29) Morrison released ‘Dangerous’, the third single from his upcoming 43rd studio album ‘What’s It Gonna Take?’, which is due to arrive on May 20 via Exile Productions/Virgin.The almost-eight-minute number includes the lines: “Somebody said I was dangerous/ I said something bad, it must have been good.” Later, Morrison tells this listener that he “was just looking for the evidence” and asks for “proof“.You can listen to the song below.Per his official website,  the forthcoming ‘What’s It Gonna Take?’ “features fifteen new Van Morrison compositions that collectively reflect the artist’s indefatigable drive to record and perform live in front of audiences.”The album also includes the songs ‘Fighting Back Is The New Normal’, ‘Fodder For The Masses’, ‘Can’t Go On This Way’ and ‘Damage And Recovery’.In response to Swann taking legal action last year, representatives for Morrison said their client “regrets that Mr Swann considered it necessary to issue proceedings” and that they were “disappointed by the publicity that surrounds the issue”.Regarding a planned defence for the singer, they said: “Mr Morrison asserts within that defence that the words used by him related to a matter of
