Opinion: England faces a bleak winter unless it gets a grip on test and trace
Professor Anthony Costello (UCL Institute for Global Health) lists the issues which led to the failure of England's test, track and trace programme and calls for reform to this system to keep a second wave of Covid-19 under control.

Depression worsens over time for older caregivers of newly diagnosed dementia patients
Caring for a partner or spouse with a new diagnosis of Alzheimer's or related dementia is associated with a 30% increase in depressive symptoms, compared to older adults who don't have a spouse with dementia-and these symptoms are sustained over time, a new University of Michigan study found. This sustained depression over time is important because partners are often caregivers for many years, said Melissa Harris, a doctoral candidate in the U-M School of Nursing and the study's lead author.
