Greek Scientists Create Breakthrough COMPASS-COVID-19 SCORE Test That Predicts Patient Severity

A significant test for predicting whether a patient, infected with COVID-19, will have mild or severe symptoms from the virus, has been created by a team of Greek scientists in France, and will soon be promoted and integrated into the COVID-related operations of hospitals around the world.

The COMPASS-COVID-19 SCORE test is a clinical and laboratory tool that provides a deterioration risk score of the virus, and has been developed by the hematology team of the Sorbonne University School of Medicine, which is comprised mainly by Greek scientists and led by Greek professor of hematology, Grisgoris Gerotziafas.

The COMPASS-COVID-19 SCORE test is available for free at http://www.medupdate.eu/ and takes users through a series of short multiple choice questions, to identify how severe their COVID symptoms are likely to get and whether their health condition is likely to worsen.

The government is creating a fairer, albeit more complex, system for the disbursement of the annual heating subsidy for households, placing greater emphasis on areas with colder weather.

Brexit: Workers turn 27-acre Kent field into 2,000-vehicle lorry park
Facility nicknamed Farage Garage is just one of 29 such sites being created across England

New photos show the county nicknamed the Garden of England may soon be more accurately described as the nation’s lorry park – thanks to Brexit preparations.

The images show the full jaw-dropping magnitude of a scheme which will see 27 acres of Kent’s green fields ripped up and concreted over to create a sprawling 2,000-vehicle holding facility for trucks crossing the Channel.

Yet, astonishingly, this sprawling space is one of only 29 such parks being built across England – all in order to cope with the expected border logjams.

I wonder if French and other European ports will have the same facilities?
