The United States may be heading into its second severe flu season in a row, driven by a mutated strain called subclade K that’s behind early surges in the United Kingdom, Canada and Japan.

The currently circulating seasonal #influenza H3N2 subclade K increases unusually early this season. #Vaccination highly recommended especially for individuals >65 years and individuals with #chronic diseases or #immunocompromised. See also the @ecdc.europa.eu assessment: tinyurl.com/7rrsj86h

What about wastewater. We’ve seen blips of H1N1, but the only significant Flu spike we’ve seen was entirely H3N2 subclade K. It was kind of early to see a spike like that.

Certain students may no longer receive the same loan for their studies as what counts as "professional" will determine how much they get.

I have gone back in a limited way recently as part of a journal role. It is still alive but definitely different subjects and tone, & paid-subscriber amplification means hearing from fewer. Looking into alternatives - Roon is between Twitter/Linkedin and launching now www.roon.com/doctors/home

Finally understood TMLE’s “doubly robust” property through simulation. Works well when either outcome OR treatment model is correct. XGBoost + TMLE captured complex relationships without manual specification. It worked on simulated complex data, would it work in real world? 🤔 #rstats #idsky #episky

That is why my dental hygiene routine is:
1) Flossing using Plackers (the floss do not break like other brands)
2) Water flossing with Philips waterpik after Plakers.
3) Tooth brushing with fluoride paste after meals.
4) Nightime mouthwash with fluoride.

Health starts in the mouth!
