About this listen
This program is read by the author.
A vital, timely text on the viruses that cause pandemics and how to face them, by the New York Times best-selling 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, or COVID-19, 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.

Really worth the read
This book is an excellent source of information at a time when sick needed information is lacking. The book covers everything you need to know to make educated decisions for yourself and your family during this pandemic and also helps you prepare for future outbreaks. This type of thing should really be taught in schools.

Eye exploding! Essential Info! Mandatory!!!
Dr Greger could possibly contribute to saving a billion lives here! He and this book educate you on the extreme and careless risks being taken by industry’s that put at risk the human population. Thanks to the coronavirus in a way, because it make this book, which also spurred my seeking of knowledge on the topic. You learn how this covid 19 pandemic could be a walk in the park compared to a influenza pandemic. This should be mandatory listening for all responsible government policy makers tasked with protecting the public health & regulating factory farming. Shame on governments, industry, and business practices that jeopardize the world human health to make a few short term profits, not seeming aware of the net negative, the fact that routinely killing thousands if not millions of animals and birds each year, plus endangering the human race, might not be worth a small or even large SHORT term profit.
This information needs to be shared widely and the public needs to know. Thank you Dr Greger.

Not what I expected
I thought the book would talk about various outbreaks but it mainly focused on the bird flu. It went into great detail about how chickens and pigs are kept fed and slaughtered which has now made me wonder how I can become a vegetarian since I cannot stop thinking about what was said in the book.
