The Black Death. Cholera. Spanish flu. Swine flu. HIV/AIDS. COVID-19/SARS-CoV-2. Each of these pandemics has made (or,is making) a lasting impact on humanity. From the immediate mental image of the beaked masks worn in the Middle Ages (bubonic plague) and the birth of epidemiology (cholera) to recognizing the benefits of social distancing (1918 flu) and the harm of prejudice and misinformation (HIV/AIDS),pandemics have shown us how to survive infectious disease,as long as we heed their lessons.
Preparing for Pandemics in the Modern World, edited by Christine Crudo Blackburn,brings together experts on pandemic preparedness and biosecurity to explore areas of weakness in pandemic prevention,preparedness,detection,and response. Even as COVID-19 makes its way around the world,leaders and policymakers are tasked with thinking ahead and preparing to effectively respond to the next such event - which experience shows us to be a matter of when ,not if . Inside,chapters are divided into sections on the lessons learned from the 1918 influenza pandemic,the application of the One Health concept,and the role of the private sector in responding to potentially devastating disease outbreaks.
A chapter on the impacts of supply chain disruption - in light of COVID-19 - and an epilogue that discusses the current outbreak make Preparing for Pandemics in the Modern World a timely and accessibly written compilation on pandemic prevention,preparedness,detection,and response.
