Sputnik that specialists are aware of the data. However, "at the moment, there are no discussions about the emergence of a new coronavirus that is ready to actively spread in the human population.

The risks identified by Chinese experts are potential and require further study," the researchers said. Even World Health Organisation on Friday had pointed out, Whether the virus detected in the study will pose a risk for humans will require further study.

The Chinese scientists pointed out NeoCov, which is a close relative of the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS-CoV), is discovered in a bat population in South Africa and is currently spreading only among animals.

However, the virus in question has a latent potential to mutate and penetrate the human population. “Just one mutation is enough for the virus to be able to infiltrate human cells, claim scientists." Scientists had also pointed out, infection with NeoCov could not be cross-neutralized by antibodies targeting SARS-CoV-2 or MERS-CoV.

Jeremy Clarkson and Kaleb anger health & safety groups in Clarkson's Farm series 2

Jeremy Clarkson has already angered health and safety groups ahead of series two of his hit show Clarkson's Farm.The 61-year-old presenter has taken on the world of farming and shared some controversial promo snaps ahead of the new series with his co-star Kaleb Cooper.Amazon Prime Video dropped three first look images as production on the second season continued at the famous Diddly Squat Farm in Chipping Norton.In one snap, The Grand Tour host can be seen driving a cultivator with Kaleb lying in the weigh box at the front.Since the release of the photos, the manager of the Farm Safety Foundation Stephanie Berkeley has told Farmers Weekly that the Amazon Prime show could have encouraged more responsible use of farm equipment.She said: "This programme could be a great way to help improve this, so it is a pity that they chose to use this photo displaying such poor safety behaviour."Agriculture continues to have the poorest safety record of any occupation in the UK and we are working hard to change that."Elizabeth Creed, farm safety consultant at the Institute of Occupational Safety and Health, said it was "highly disappointed" with the promo snap for the second series.She said: "It is frustrating that the team at Clarkson’s Farm did not recognise that their platform has a huge potential for influencing and encouraging a positive safety culture in farming."We have suffered a number of fatal incidents this year."The farming documentary follows new farmer Jeremy on his day-to-day life running his Cotwolds, Oxfordshire, farm looking after livestock and growing crops.A spokesperson for Clarkson's Farm has said in a statement: "Our first series showed Jeremy has great respect for the farming community."However, its remit (or the

The top-selling Valentine’s Day candy by state revealed

Los Angeles - From a traditional box of chocolates to the resurgence of conversation hearts, CandyStore.com has compiled data to determine this year’s most popular Valentine’s Day candy by state — and some of the results are cloyingly surprising.The national candy company used sales data from its online bulk candy stores and industry partners to determine the outcome.Cue the results (and we won’t sugar-coat it).Valentine’s Day candy is a personal choice, but there are two types of candy that seemed to shine in 2022: conversation hearts and heart-shaped boxes of chocolates.This year, CandyStore.com said conversation hearts have claimed the top spot as Valentine's Day's top-selling candy.Percentage of total Valentine's Day candy sales (Credit: CandyStore.com) However, the candy retailer also broke down the state-by-state data, which showed slightly different results. Yes, 12 states favored conversation hearts this year (Alaska, California, Florida, Idaho, Illinois, Hawaii, Louisiana, Missouri, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Virginia and Wisconsin).However, a whopping 16 states, along with Washington, D.C., still preferred a heart-shaped box of chocolates (Colorado, Connecticut, Georgia, Indiana, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Tennessee, Washington and Washington D.C.).In addition, M&M’s continue to gain traction.

CVS removes COVID-19 test purchasing limits

CVS is no longer limiting the number of over-the-counter coronavirus at-home tests consumers can purchase at its stores. "We’ve worked with our vendors to increase inventory of OTC COVID-19 tests and have removed all product limits on those products at CVS Pharmacy locations nationwide and on CVS.com," a CVS spokesperson told FOX Business. Although CVS never ran out of stock, some areas had strained inventory as cases, driven by the omicron variant, mounted. In December, CVS was one of a handful of companies, including Amazon and Walgreens, that announced a limit on the amount of at-home tests customers can purchase due to the omicron variant, which is now the dominant variant in the U.S. At the time, CVS customers were limited to six at-home test kits per purchase of its five over-the-counter offerings, including Abbott BinaxNOW, Acon FlowFlex, Quidel Quickvue, Ellume, and Pixel by LabCorp.Now, not only is there no longer a limit on the number of tests a consumer can purchase but the tests are also covered by most insurance policies. The Biden administration announced in January that private health insurers will be required to cover up to eight home COVID-19 tests per month for people on their plans. Americans will be able to either purchase home testing kits for free under their insurance or submit receipts for the tests for reimbursement, up to the monthly per-person limit."Particularly, in the early stages of this program, we strongly encourage customers to save their receipt(s) as they may need to submit them to their insurer," the spokesperson added.

Shocking video shows NJ vehicle veer off road, flip over in road-rage incident

New Jersey drivers ended when one lost control, veered off the road and flipped over, shocking new video shows. The driver of a Honda Accord could be seen making aggressive maneuvers along Palisades Parkway in an attempt to pass a Ford F-150 Raptor that was in the far-left lane — traditionally the lane used for passing traffic.The video started with the Accord in the right lane of a two-lane section of the interstate, initially speeding up to pass the truck. It was quickly forced to brake, however, as it approached a third vehicle blocked its way. The car then slowed down and got behind the truck in the left lane and the two were seen tapping their brakes several times, the video showed.A screengrab from the dashcam video shows the crashed vehicle after going airborne along the New Jersey Palisades Parkway.
