Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A vital, timely text on the viruses that cause pandemics and how to face them, by the New York Times bestselling author of How Not to Die. From tuberculosis to bird flu and HIV to coronavirus, these infectious diseases share a common origin story: human interaction with animals. Otherwise known as zoonotic diseases for their passage from animals to humans, these pathogens—both pre-existing ones and those newly identified—emerge and re-emerge throughout history, sparking epidemics and pandemics that have resulted in millions of deaths around the world. How did these diseases come about? And what—if anything—can we do to stop them and their fatal march into our countries, our homes, and our bodies? In How to Survive a Pandemic, Dr. Michael Greger, physician and internationally-recognized expert on public health issues, delves into the origins of some of the deadliest pathogens the world has ever seen. Tracing their evolution from the past until today, Dr. Greger spotlights emerging flu and coronaviruses as he examines where these pathogens originated, as well as the underlying conditions and significant human role that have exacerbated their lethal influence to large, and even global, levels. As the world grapples with the devastating impact of the novel coronavirus 2019, Dr. Greger reveals not only what we can do to protect ourselves and our loved ones during a pandemic, but also what human society must rectify to reduce the likelihood of even worse catastrophes in the future.

This book was released on 2017-12-06 with total page 426 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the culminating volume in the DCP3 series, volume 9 will provide an overview of DCP3 findings and methods, a summary of messages and substantive lessons to be taken from DCP3, and a further discussion of cross-cutting and synthesizing topics across the first eight volumes. The introductory chapters (1-3) in this volume take as their starting point the elements of the Essential Packages presented in the overview chapters of each volume. First, the chapter on intersectoral policy priorities for health includes fiscal and intersectoral policies and assembles a subset of the population policies and applies strict criteria for a low-income setting in order to propose a "highest-priority" essential package. Second, the chapter on packages of care and delivery platforms for universal health coverage (UHC) includes health sector interventions, primarily clinical and public health services, and uses the same approach to propose a highest priority package of interventions and policies that meet similar criteria, provides cost estimates, and describes a pathway to UHC.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The emergence of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) in late 2002 and 2003 challenged the global public health community to confront a novel epidemic that spread rapidly from its origins in southern China until it had reached more than 25 other countries within a matter of months. In addition to the number of patients infected with the SARS virus, the disease had profound economic and political repercussions in many of the affected regions. Recent reports of isolated new SARS cases and a fear that the disease could reemerge and spread have put public health officials on high alert for any indications of possible new outbreaks. This report examines the response to SARS by public health systems in individual countries, the biology of the SARS coronavirus and related coronaviruses in animals, the economic and political fallout of the SARS epidemic, quarantine law and other public health measures that apply to combating infectious diseases, and the role of international organizations and scientific cooperation in halting the spread of SARS. The report provides an illuminating survey of findings from the epidemic, along with an assessment of what might be needed in order to contain any future outbreaks of SARS or other emerging infections.

Book excerpt: In november 2019, Wuhan in China was struck by a variant of corona viruses called the Novel Coronaviruses (Covid-19) and up to March 2020, has claimed 3,000 lives and infected more than 80,000 people in China alone, and 200,000 across the globe spanning over 25 countries including Japan, Germany, USA, Canada, France, Italy and the UK. In each case, corona virus outbreaks have followed somewhat similar patterns, moving from animals (mostly bats) and then to their human hosts. Also, most outbreaks of the corona viruses have been zeroed down to Asia at large and China in particular. This book covers the following topics: Coronavirus How the virus infects people Strategy to avoid being infected Recognize the symptoms Treatment & vaccine status The best respirators (masks) How can i further educate myself and stay in front of the information? How can you protect yourself and your family from wuhan virus? How to handle quarantine with one sick family member Prevention and immune strengthening A physical way of temporary soothing ...And much more Throughout human history, we have suffered a particular type of respiratory infection that has come to be known as "the common cold", typified by cough, sore throat, runny nose, and sometimes fever. The common cold is as a result of a viral infection, particularly of the corona virus subtype. There is no cure for this respiratory condition. However, because of it's non-life threatening nature, man has learnt to live with it and little time and resources have been put into finding a cure for the common cold as opposed to more deadlier health conditions such as HIV and cancer. From the near innocuous nature of the common cold to the panic-level virulence of the novel corona virus, Corona viruses have remained a relevant subject of concern in human existence, constantly determining and influencing various aspects of our lives such has migration, health policies, research interests, food, and even the price of stocks and shares in the market. Corona viruses, as their name implies are truly the kings of virulence in this day and age.

Download or read book The Threat of Pandemic Influenza written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2005-04-09 with total page 431 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Public health officials and organizations around the world remain on high alert because of increasing concerns about the prospect of an influenza pandemic, which many experts believe to be inevitable. Moreover, recent problems with the availability and strain-specificity of vaccine for annual flu epidemics in some countries and the rise of pandemic strains of avian flu in disparate geographic regions have alarmed experts about the world's ability to prevent or contain a human pandemic. The workshop summary, The Threat of Pandemic Influenza: Are We Ready? addresses these urgent concerns. The report describes what steps the United States and other countries have taken thus far to prepare for the next outbreak of "killer flu." It also looks at gaps in readiness, including hospitals' inability to absorb a surge of patients and many nations' incapacity to monitor and detect flu outbreaks. The report points to the need for international agreements to share flu vaccine and antiviral stockpiles to ensure that the 88 percent of nations that cannot manufacture or stockpile these products have access to them. It chronicles the toll of the H5N1 strain of avian flu currently circulating among poultry in many parts of Asia, which now accounts for the culling of millions of birds and the death of at least 50 persons. And it compares the costs of preparations with the costs of illness and death that could arise during an outbreak.

Download or read book Zombie Apocalypse written by Macenzie Guiver and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-07-30 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Zombies are everywhere today and to most people they are something out of scary stories like vampires or werewolves, no more real than Santa Claus or the Easter Bunny. But are we dismissing these blood-thirsty monsters at our peril? According to several scientists who have taken on the task of proving or disproving the possibility of zombies, while it is possible that some previously unknown disease could cause symptoms similar to those associated with pop-culture zombies (a mutated disease similar to rabies perhaps), it is also unlikely. But the actual disaster behind a zombie apocalypse, a deadly global pandemic, is not only possible, it is highly probable. In “Zombie Apocalypse: The Prepper's Guide to Pandemic Outbreak, Quarantine, and Zombie Fallout” #1 Best Selling author Macenzie Guiver shows you how it's happened many times before and why it is likely to happen again during our lifetime. Whether the threat comes from a zombie disease or some errant strain of influenza, the threat of pandemic is real and it is something that every family must be prepared to handle in order to survive. When the 1918 Spanish Flu swept around the globe, entire families and neighborhoods were wiped out. Nearly 30% of the population of the planet were infected as many as 5.5% of the world's inhabitants died as a result (That's more than 1 in every 20 people dead – planet-wide). When the next pandemic comes, the only way to ensure the safety and survival of your family is to prepare now. “Zombie Apocalypse” will help you: • Understand how pandemics happen, and why we're likely to have another one in your lifetime • Learn important lessons from past pandemics, and how some of the ones in the recent past make a Zombie outbreak look like child's play • Know what to expect in the days and weeks following a major outbreak, there's more than just the usual “prepper” stuff to worry about here • Determine what to do now to be ready, whether it's Zombies, or an uber-deadly new strain of the flu virus there are some common steps to take for this type of “end of the world as we know it” scenario • Create a pandemic preparedness plan for your family and practice it. Using the Zombie angle to create your practice scenarios can add a bit of fun to an otherwise difficult and hard-to-wrap-your-head-around prepping topic From providing an understanding of how pandemics progress from Patient Zero to global catastrophe to explaining how a global pandemic will affect the society around us, this guide provides prepping families with the perspective, information, and planning steps they need to be ready to survive the next pandemic, even if that means fighting off zombies in order to do so!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Governments, businesses, and individuals around the world are thinking about what happens after the COVID-19 pandemic. Can we hope to not only ward off another COVID-like disaster but also eliminate all respiratory diseases, including the flu? Bill Gates, one of our greatest and most effective thinkers and activists, believes the answer is yes. The author of the #1 New York Times best seller How to Avoid a Climate Disaster lays out clearly and convincingly what the world should have learned from COVID-19 and what all of us can do to ward off another catastrophe like it. Relying on the shared knowledge of the world’s foremost experts and on his own experience of combating fatal diseases through the Gates Foundation, Gates first helps us understand the science of infectious diseases. Then he shows us how the nations of the world, working in conjunction with one another and with the private sector, how we can prevent a new pandemic from killing millions of people and devastating the global economy. Here is a clarion call—strong, comprehensive, and of the gravest importance.
