"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. At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground."
"We are closing in on that time of year when coughs and colds are rampant and everyone appears to be getting ill. But health experts are warning this winter could see the most severe flu outbreak in decades as a new strain threatens to wreak havoc on the NHS. The H3N2 strain has been labelled as unpleasant by health bosses, who have warned hospital admissions are already rising with the flu."
"While not yet at a peak, admissions are rising at a rate not typically seen until December, with experts concerned that many of the most vulnerable may not have received their vaccine yet. With cases on the rise, The Independent spoke to Dr Giuseppe Aragona, GP and medical adviser for Prescription Doctor, about how worried we should be over H3N2 and how to prevent it."
Quality journalism is funded by donations rather than paywalls and aims to report across the political spectrum. Donations allow continued on-the-ground reporting and production of documentaries highlighting issues such as reproductive rights. Health experts warn that the upcoming winter could bring the most severe flu outbreak in decades due to the H3N2 strain. Hospital admissions are rising earlier than usual, at rates not typically seen until December, raising concern for vulnerable people who may not yet have been vaccinated. H3N2, also called subclade K, is recognised as one of two widely circulating influenza strains and is currently the dominant strain in England per the UK Health Security Agency. Medical practitioners are being consulted on appropriate concern levels and preventive measures, including vaccination.
