Epidemiologists have been ignored, mocked, or silenced all while trying to protect the population and identify “patient zero”—the first person to have contracted the disease, and a key piece in solving the epidemic puzzle. Patient Zero tracks the gripping tales of eight epidemics and pandemics—how they started, how they spread, and the fight to stop them.

Der Bundesverband für Logopädie warnt: Verzögerungen bei der Sprachentwicklung werden oft viel zu spät erkannt. Dabei sind bis zu 35% der Kinder betroffen.
