À propos de cet audio
An inside account of the fight to contain the world's deadliest diseases - and the panic and corruption that make them worse.
Throughout history, humankind's biggest killers have been infectious diseases: the Black Death, the Spanish Flu, and AIDS alone account for over 100 million deaths. We ignore this reality most of the time, but when a new threat - Ebola, SARS, Zika - seems imminent, we send our best and bravest doctors to contain it. People like Dr. Ali S. Khan.
In his long career as a public health first responder - protected by a thin mask from infected patients, napping under nets to keep out scorpions, making life-and-death decisions on limited, suspect information - Khan has found that rogue microbes will always be a problem, but outbreaks are often caused by people. We make mistakes, politicize emergencies, and, too often, fail to imagine the consequences of our actions.
The Next Pandemic is a firsthand account of disasters like anthrax, bird flu, and others - and how we could do more to prevent their return. It is both a gripping story of our brushes with fate and an urgent lesson on how we can keep ourselves safe from the inevitable next pandemic.

Right up to the end there was realism....then the climate change myth struck
The author should have stayed with his strengths, microbe hunting and fighting.
Ending the book with a nod to global warming as a contribution to extreme pandemic likelihood, is not supported by facts

Longwinded needs abridging
The author tries to make the topic too personal also as if in an attempt to win over reader by sharing his own stories which informed his conclusions. he would be better to get to the point an abridged version is definetly good for those who value their time.
