    Help wanted: $78,000 a year to taste candy while sitting on your couch

Alexandra Peers

 

    Candy Funhouse, an online shop that sells from chocolate bars to gummies and licorice, is hiring for a $78,000 a year, work-from-home job as its Chief Candy Officer. Duties include: “leading candy board meetings, being the head taste tester and all things fun. Several thousand candidates have already applied for the position”, said Chief Executive Officer Jamal Hejazi. He noted that he’s been surprised by the number of applications and the elaborate videos of entire families offering to share the tasting duties and the salary. (...) Candy Funhouse, based outside of Toronto, is headed by a quartet of 20-and-30-something-year- old siblings who grew up in the area and_____parents owned donut shops and a local restaurant. (...) Hejazi noted that reports on social media claiming that the Chief Candy Officer will be required to eat 3,500 pieces of candy per month are incorrect. “That’s too many”, Hejazi said.

UK scientific advisor says coronavirus unlikely to be eradicated

 

    The coronavirus will be around for “evermore” as it is unlikely it will be eradicated, a British scientist on the
government’s advisory committee for the pandemic said on Wednesday, although a vaccine would help
improve the situation.
    Britain, like other countries in Europe, is currently in the grip of a resurgence in COVID-19 infections, with
[5] much of the country under local restrictions and more than 21,000 daily cases reported on Tuesday.
    “We are going to have to live with this virus for evermore. There is very little chance that it’s going to
become eradicated,” John Edmunds, a member of Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (SAGE), told
lawmakers.
    Although the coronavirus will be around indefinitely, Edmunds said that the prospect of a vaccine towards
[10] the end of the winter should impact the government’s strategy now.
    “If vaccines are just around the corner then, in my view, we should try and keep the incidence as low as
we can now, because we will be able to use vaccines in the not too distant future,” he said.
    He said the UK had played a “clever game” in investing in different coronavirus vaccines. Britain has signed
supply deals for six different COVID-19 vaccines, with 340 million doses secured across different types of
[15] technologies.
    “I think we will be in a reasonable position in months,” he said. “I don’t think we’re going to be vaccinating
everybody, but to start, maybe the highest risk people, healthcare workers and so on."
