"From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging."
"Health officials are warning of a seasonal surge in flu and Covid-19 as autumn arrives. When a sniffle seems to progress further than just a cold, it's hard to know what it might be. The two viruses share many symptoms, making it difficult to tell them apart - but there are differences in how they appear and the risks they pose."
"Flu is a respiratory infection that strikes hardest in winter and can be far more debilitating than the common cold. While colds typically bring a runny nose, sneezing, watery eyes and mild throat irritation, flu tends to arrive suddenly with fever, aches and exhaustion. Last winter alone, the flu sent more than 8,000 people to hospital. Over the past two years, at least 18,000 deaths in the UK have been linked to the virus."
The Independent deploys journalists to cover emerging stories across reproductive rights, climate change and Big Tech and relies on donations to fund reporting while keeping content paywall-free. Donations enable continued on-the-ground reporting and interviews with multiple perspectives. Health officials warn of a seasonal surge in flu and Covid-19 as autumn arrives, with overlapping symptoms that can make distinction difficult. Flu often arrives suddenly with fever, aches and exhaustion and can be more debilitating than a common cold. Children, older adults, those with long-term health conditions and immunocompromised people face highest risks. Vaccination remains the strongest defence against severe outcomes.
