More than ten thousand people in Moss Side and neighbouring communities are to be offered immediate Covid-19 tests after a new variant of the virus was identified in the area.
From Tuesday Manchester council will be inviting all over-16s living, working or studying within a specific footprint - including most of Moss Side and small parts of Whalley Range, Hulme and Fallowfield - for tests, after four cases of a new strain were identified in two unrelated households.
The concept of TMI â too much information â doesnât just apply to socially awkward dinner conversations with your surprisingly loose-lipped blind date. Employees and executives are often oversharing personal details on social media and even in automated out-of-office (OOO) email messages. And under the wrong circumstances, an attacker could use some of these shared details to gain access into company networks.
Of course, OOO instructions serve an important business communications function, and a strong strong social media profile is a great way to network with your peers and brand yourself. So the question becomes: Where do you draw the line? What constitutes TMI?

Having an illness or a disability is stressful. It brings up lots of negative emotions such as fear, anger, sadness, and anxiety. It s easy to get caught up in, or commiserate around, these feelings. But study after study shows that stress is detrimental to the body and mind. Physically, it weakens the immune system and is connected to a host of illnesses. Mentally, stress breeds more stress, making it debilitating and contagious.
For someone living with a disease or disability, stress and negative energy can further compromise health and impact relationships with those most important – families, friends, and caretakers. Because of this, Beyond My Battle focuses on helping people with diseases and disabilities get to the root of their stress so they can better detect, manage, and reduce it.
