Covid: UK town crier championships to be held in silence
The championships were cancelled last year due to the pandemic, and were last held in public in Darlington in 2019.
Ms Williams said judges usually looked at three distinct parts of a cry, sustained volume and clarity, diction and inflection, and content.
This year, the competition will only look at content, which must not deviate from the chosen theme of "nature and the environment".
Dorchester's crier, Alistair Chisholm, is a 10-time and current national champion who describes crying as "an extreme sport".
He said the quality of the written cries was important, but the competition would not be the same without sound.
"When you write a cry you write it for you," he said. "You put in your own expression onto the page for your voice alone."
He added that he tried crying in a face mask during lockdown, but "they make it come out all muffly".

At least 49 passengers on a flight from New Delhi to Hong Kong have tested positive for COVID-19, authorities said . .
As many as 188 passengers could have travelled on the Vistara flight, but Hong Kong authorities did not say how many people were on board the aircraft. The positive COVID-19 results surfaced during Hong Kong’s mandatory three-week quarantine period, one of the strictest entry regimes in the world.

Re: Coronavirus
I didn't look that closely, but that makes you wonder how many asymptomatic 'carriers' are floating about unknowingly, both here and abroad.

Re: Coronavirus
Some returning are British citizens.
One issue India had earlier was poor day workers leaving cities back to rural areas. This time the government there is trying to dissuade that from happening saying they will be cared for.
Boris doesn't make all the decisions. He can't and has many other plates to keep spinning. I wouldn't envy anyone in authority at this time or even in opposition. What ever you do someone is unhappy. Seems not only does he have to deal with all the changing Covid but also football, economy, race, EU, China/Hong Kong, climate.

Re: Coronavirus
COVID doesn’t care about their nationality - they should be quarantined until proven non-contagious

Agreed.
And it doesn't help countries with high Covid rates and highly infectious strains to have people travelling to and from their airports either.

Re: Coronavirus
Don't they still have to prove non-infection already. The BBC site has reports of people who travelled to India and now worried because flights home before Friday are too expensive and neither can they afford quarantine.

More fool them for going to India in the first place.

Re: Coronavirus
If people would behave responsibly(strange concept it seems), then any infection should only be able to spread within that household and no further.

A search for simple treatments for Covid that can be taken at home has been launched by Boris Johnson.
The PM said he hoped pills or capsules could be available by the autumn to help fight an anticipated third wave.
The aim would be to give them to people who have tested positive or exposed to someone who has.
An antiviral taskforce is being set up to oversee the work and future trials - as yet there are no treatments identified that could be used.
For the first time since September the latest figures show fewer than 2,000 Covid-19 patients in hospital.

Re: Coronavirus
I looked at the interactive map for our area today, first time Ive done so for a while, it was almost completely white, meaning little to no cases at all.

Quote from The Sun: Europe's shambolic jabs rollout was dealt another crushing blow last night as a French vaccine maker canned talks with Brussels.
Valneva, which has a deal with Britain and will make its shot in Scotland, slammed EU red tape as it broke off contract negotiations.
Its announcement is a major embarrassment for Ursula von der Leyen, who was put in charge of buying jabs on behalf of the bloc.
The chief eurocrat has come under fire from across the continent after the bungled scheme led to a shortage of supplies.
Valneva said it will "deprioritise" talks with Brussels but wants to work with individual EU capitals on a "country by country basis".
Chief executive Thomas Lingelbach fumed: "We've committed significant time and effort to try to meet the needs of the central procurement process.
"Despite our recent clinical data, we have not made meaningful progress.
"We are now concentrating our efforts on EU member states and interested parties outside the EU."

EU turning a shambles into a chrisis.
Vindicates the UK decision to go our own way on vaccine procurement.
