Hello, I'm Greg Jenna and good news, Your Dead to Me is back for a new series. Here we go. Yes, we'll explore Emperor Nero's notorious reign with Professor Marybeard and Patton Oswald.

unable to function, had daily intrusive memories,

essentially rendering his life to him useless, and had just completely withdrawn from society.

He's essentially felt that this was worse than the illness itself, and he said he'd rather be dead.

More from ICU later. But first, Scarlet Fever, a disease that's back in the headlines following

the release of new figures showing that the number of cases is on the rise. Schools and parents

have been warned to be vigilant. And the latest figures from Public Health England confirmed that

there were 868 cases last month, up from 591 over the same period last year.

And these officially confirmed cases are likely to represent the tip of a much bigger iceberg.
