TL;DR: These global influenza-associated respiratory mortality estimates are higher than previously reported, suggesting that previous estimates might have underestimated disease burden.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors use empirical data from 732 locations in 43 countries to estimate the mortality burdens associated with the additional heat exposure that has resulted from recent human-induced warming, during the period 1991-2018.

TL;DR: Preliminary pooled estimates of all-cause mortality for 24 European countries/federal states participating in the European monitoring of excess mortality for public health action (EuroMOMO) network, for the period March–April 2020, show excess mortality particularly affected 65–65 year olds, but also 45–64 and 15–44 year olds.

TL;DR: Results suggest that ozone related mortality could be potentially reduced under stricter air quality standards, and have relevance for the implementation of efficient clean air interventions and mitigation strategies designed within national and international climate policies.

TL;DR: The pattern was similar to the last major influenza A(H3N2) season in 2014/15 in Europe, although starting earlier in line with the early influenza season start, and cold weather snaps contributed in some countries.
