The UK Health Security Agency says new Covid-19 variant Orthrus accounts for nearly a quarter of coronavirus cases in England - and data suggests it could represent 100 per cent of all cases in some areas.

Orthrus is a sub-lineage of the Omicron variant and was first detected in November last year.

Symptoms include a sore throat, runny nose, congestion and a cough.

The robots are coming - but what are the cast-iron human skills ensuring they won’t swoop in to pinch that job you’re applying for?

Tech & Science Daily speaks with Neil Taylor, founder of London creative consultancy Schwa, who actually got ChatGPT to write 300 words on the secret of good writing in blind applications, so how did it fair?

Plus, Microsoft cutting 10,000 jobs, over 250 dinosaur eggs found in India, EV taxi firm in Nottingham test wireless charging, can upbeat tunes by Ed Sheeran, BTS and Coldplay ‘help some sleep more than baby lullabies’, Call of Duty Warzone 2 and Modern Warfare 2 updates leak latest and the $385K Netflix cabin crew job offer.
