<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">A 72-year-old man had Covid-19 for more than 10 months in what experts have said is the longest-ever recorded persistent infection with the virus.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Academics have described how the man, named as retired driving instructor Dave Smith from Bristol continuously tested positive for 305 days.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Mr Smith, who had conditions which led to him having a compromised immune system, is alive and well and now tests negative for the virus.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">He told The Guardian: “Whenever I went bad, I went really bad – down to death’s door. My wife started to arrange a funeral five times.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">He added jokingly: “I called all the family in to make my peace with them. I wish I’d kept my mouth shut now.”</span></p>

<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">The teenager was found with suspected stab wounds in Tulse Hill, south London, after police were called to reports of a shooting at 10.53pm last night.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Paramedics tried to save the boy, but he was pronounced dead at 11.41pm, forcing Metropolitan Police to open its 119th murder investigation in the capital this year.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Officers believe the boy had suffered stab rather than gunshot wounds, although the Met stressed that inquiries were at an early stage.</span></p>
