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. As the world grapples with the devastating impact of COVID-19, Dr Michael 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. 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.

Why the news about the global decline of infectious diseases is not all good. Plagues and parasites have played a central role in world affairs, shaping the evolution of the modern state, the growth of cities, and the disparate fortunes of national economies. This book tells that story, but it is not about the resurgence of pestilence. It is the story of its decline. For the first time in recorded history, virus, bacteria, and other infectious diseases are not the leading cause of death or disability in any region of the world. People are living longer, and fewer mothers are giving birth to many children in the hopes that some might survive. And yet, the news is not all good. Recent reductions in infectious disease have not been accompanied by the same improvements in income, job opportunities, and governance that occurred with these changes in wealthier countries decades ago. There have also been unintended consequences. In this book, Thomas Bollyky explores the paradox in our fight against infectious disease: the world is getting healthier in ways that should make us worry. Bollyky interweaves a grand historical narrative about the rise and fall of plagues in human societies with contemporary case studies of the consequences. Bollyky visits Dhaka—one of the most densely populated places on the planet—to show how low-cost health tools helped enable the phenomenon of poor world megacities. He visits China and Kenya to illustrate how dramatic declines in plagues have affected national economies. Bollyky traces the role of infectious disease in the migrations from Ireland before the potato famine and to Europe from Africa and elsewhere today. Historic health achievements are remaking a world that is both worrisome and full of opportunities. Whether the peril or promise of that progress prevails, Bollyky explains, depends on what we do next. A Council on Foreign Relations Book

To read the book of Revelation is to see a myriad of representations pass by our gaze, offering and kaleidoscope of bizarre and incongruent images. This world strikes us at first as fearfully and mysteriously strange and fantastic. But once these symbols are properly deciphered, they combine to present crucial messages for those living in the last days. These messages were designed by God to lead all successfully through these troubled times if they will read, hear, and do his will. This commentary presents a comprehensive analysis of John's book aided by the lens of LDS doctrine and Mormon experience. God delivered his messages in the form of images housed within discrete visions, with each symbol explaining, exposing, or emphasizing various aspects of the message conveyed. The challenge is getting beyond the symbols to the represented realities. Information is drawn from all the Standard Works, the Joseph Smith Translation of the Bible, and from modern Prophets and Apostles.

A sweeping germ’s-eye view of history from human origins to global pandemics Plagues upon the Earth is a monumental history of humans and their germs. Weaving together a grand narrative of global history with insights from cutting-edge genetics, Kyle Harper explains why humanity’s uniquely dangerous disease pool is rooted deep in our evolutionary past, and why its growth is accelerated by technological progress. He shows that the story of disease is entangled with the history of slavery, colonialism, and capitalism, and reveals the enduring effects of historical plagues in patterns of wealth, health, power, and inequality. He also tells the story of humanity’s escape from infectious disease—a triumph that makes life as we know it possible, yet destabilizes the environment and fosters new diseases. Panoramic in scope, Plagues upon the Earth traces the role of disease in the transition to farming, the spread of cities, the advance of transportation, and the stupendous increase in human population. Harper offers a new interpretation of humanity’s path to control over infectious disease—one where rising evolutionary threats constantly push back against human progress, and where the devastating effects of modernization contribute to the great divergence between societies. The book reminds us that human health is globally interdependent—and inseparable from the well-being of the planet itself. Putting the COVID-19 pandemic in perspective, Plagues upon the Earth tells the story of how we got here as a species, and it may help us decide where we want to go.

INTRODUCTION INTRODUCE THE CONCEPT OF A PLAGUE AND THE SIGNIFICANCE OF KNOWING SURVIVAL STRATEGIES. In this brand new international environment, wherein the unexpected can take place at any second, it is critical for us, the majority, to be organized for the worst. One such threat that has plagued humanity for the duration of history is the incidence of lethal plagues. Those devastating epidemics can wreak havoc on society, causing tremendous illness, demise, and monetary turmoil. To ensure the safety and proper well-being of ourselves and our cherished ones, it's vital that we familiarize ourselves with survival strategies to fight those menacing plagues. First and foremost, let us delve into what exactly a virulent disease is. A pandemic is an infectious disorder that spreads unexpectedly and influences a wide variety of people within a particular population or geographic area. Plagues may be caused by various resources, which include microorganisms, viruses, or even parasites. Their capacity to cause considerable devastation is largely because of their enormously contagious nature and the shortage of immunity within the population. Knowing survival strategies will become paramount throughout a deadly disease outbreak. By knowing these strategies, we will take proactive measures to protect ourselves and prevent the unfolding of the disorder. Here are some key survival techniques that should be adopted: 1. Train yourself: stay informed about contemporary developments regarding the plague. Pay attention to reliable sources of statistics, including authorities, fitness businesses, global organizations, and reputable news retailers Knowing the nature of the ailment, its signs, and the way it spreads will enable you to take appropriate precautions. 2. Practice accurate hygiene: fundamental hygiene practices can go a long way in preventing the spread of the plague. Often, wash your fingers with cleaning soap and water for at least 20 seconds, mainly before consuming or touching your face. Cover your mouth and nostrils with a tissue or your elbow while coughing or sneezing to prevent droplet transmission. 3. Preserve social distance: during a virus outbreak, it's essential to limit close contact with others. Keep away from crowded places and preserve a safe distance of at least six feet from individuals who are coughing, sneezing, or showing signs and symptoms of infection. This facilitates a decrease in the risk of exposure to the disorder. 4. Stock up on vital components: In times of a virulent disease outbreak, it's really useful to have a sufficient supply of critical gadgets. Inventory up on non-perishable food, water, medications, and other important supplies that may sustain you and your family for an extended period. This way, you could reduce your need to go out into likely infected areas. 5. Observe quarantine suggestions: if you or someone in your family becomes inflamed with the plague, it is critical to follow quarantine guidelines. Isolate the affected individual, if viable, and strictly adhere to the hints furnished by way of healthcare experts. This enables you to avoid the transmission of the disease. 6. Searching for clinical assistance: in case you suspect that you or someone you recognize has been infected with the plague, search for clinical assistance without delay. Early detection and treatment can greatly enhance the chances of recuperation and decrease the risk of headaches. Always comply with the advice of healthcare experts and any prescribed medicines or remedies
