For all the horrifying statistics of the number infected by COVID-19, multiply by a factor of 20 to approximate how many worldwide are suffering stress, depression, relationship breakdown, and even suicide as a direct consequence of Coronavirus. In this straight-talking, pragmatic, but hard-hitting exposé, practicing psychiatrist Raj Persaud argues for simple yet powerful mental strategies to immunize individuals against the panic of the pandemic.

Caldo estremo, uragani, piogge torrenziali, incendi, nuovi virus aggressivi come quello che ha segnato il mondo intero nel 2020. La natura ha cominciato a ribellarsi. E non c'è più tempo: l'impatto dell'uomo sul nostro pianeta ha un peso ormai insostenibile. Molte patologie infettive degli ultimi decenni, da Ebola all'AIDS, da hendra alla dengue, non sono solo tragedie dettate dal caso. C'è un nesso profondo tra la loro diffusione e i cambiamenti climatici, la deforestazione, l'inquinamento e anche la diseguaglianza sociale, perché povertà e fame sono alleati dei virus.

Fight COVID and Win: A Survival Guide reveals the COVID-19 prevention and treatment protocol that has saved the lives of over 2,000 patients. Since early 2020, Dr. Williams' Urgent Care 24/7 centers across the Southern United States have seen people from all walks of life—from the elderly and high risk to the pregnant and breastfeeding to the fit and young to the immunocompromised. To date, Fight COVID and Win is the first comprehensive user manual to prevent COVID-19 infection, treat early and effectively, and keep patients alive—and without long-haul COVID symptoms.

When the SARS virus broke out in China in January 2003, Karl Taro Greenfeld was the editor of Time Asia in Hong Kong, just a few miles from the epicenter of the outbreak. After vague, initial reports of terrified Chinese boiling vinegar to "purify" the air, Greenfeld and his staff soon found themselves immersed in the story of a lifetime. Deftly tracking a mysterious viral killer, China Syndrome takes listeners on a gripping ride that blows through the Chinese government's effort to cover up the disease and sounds a clarion call warning of a catastrophe to come.

Imagine being physically denied access to your office, business, or livelihood. Imagine being refused entry to a grocery store or being told who you can or cannot sit with at a restaurant. Imagine being barred from a hospital room when you or your family member needs critical care. Unthinkable? Today, these scenarios and worse are happening in “democracies” all over the world, and could be our collective future—orchestrated by AI, Big Tech, and state-sponsored apps—all in the name of “protecting” public health with vaccine passports.

In The Helpers, journalist Kathy Gilsinan profiles eight individuals on the frontlines of the coronavirus battle: a devoted son caring for his family in the San Francisco Bay Area; a not-quite-retired paramedic from Colorado; an ICU nurse in the Bronx; the CEO of a Seattle-based ventilator company; a vaccine researcher at Moderna in Boston; a young chef and culinary teacher in Louisville, Kentucky; a physician in Chicago; and a funeral home director in Seattle and Los Angeles. These inspiring individual accounts create an unforgettable tapestry of people across the country.

Overcoming the Darkness of COVID is about two doctors who used a treatment protocol early in the pandemic and early in treatment, when the conventional wisdom issued was not to provide any treatment to patients and send them home. To the contrary, every one of the patients Dr. Tyson and Dr. Fareed treated early in the illness recovered and there were no deaths. This book is their story, complete with testimonials from patients and other doctors, research studies, news clippings, and most of all, the reasons why this successful treatment was held back from the public.

In early 2020, our lives were upended by a new virus that caused the most severe pandemic in over a century. Where did this virus, first called the novel coronavirus and later SARS coronavirus-2, come from? Did we see it coming? If so, why weren't we better prepared for it? How lethal is it really? How can we protect ourselves from it? How will the pandemic end? What will life be like once it is over? In this meticulously researched book, Anirban Mahapatra demystifies the virus and offers us a historical perspective.

In this intimate history of the extraordinary Black Plague pandemic that swept through the British Isles in 1665, Evelyn Lord focuses on the plague's effects on smaller towns, where every death was a singular blow affecting the entire community. Lord's fascinating reconstruction of life during plague times presents the personal experiences of a wide range of individuals, from historical notables to common folk. The Great Plague brings this dark era to vivid life through stories of loss and survival from those who grieved, those who fled, and those who hid to await their fate.

El 31 de diciembre de 2019 China informó a la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS) sobre la aparición de varios casos de neumonía de causa desconocida en Wuhan, ciudad de la provincia de Hubei. El 23 de enero se cerró Hubei. El 31 de enero la OMS decretó la emergencia sanitaria global. Después de que el máximo organismo a nivel mundial de la salud declarase la aparición de esta pandemia global y los periodistas, gobernantes y políticos —aunque no todos— la aceptaran sin rechistar, las preguntas, angustiosas, se sucedieron sin respuesta.

Margaret never dreamed that purchasing her newly remodeled dream cottage on the north end of Houghton Lake, Michigan, would send her family's life spiraling into any parent’s worst nightmare. Shortly after moving in, the family finds themselves barricaded like prisoners in their own home in a vain attempt to dodge the swarming reconstructed wetland mosquitoes. Nobody's immune to the bug bites, but one-year-old Julia's welts quickly develop into bizarre and unexplainable lesions.

Since we first heard rumblings about a novel type of pneumonia in Wuhan, China, terms like pandemic, spike protein, viral particles, variants, mRNA vaccines, antibodies, hydroxychloroquine, social distancing, immune response, convalescent plasma, aerosol transmission, and of course, face coverings, have entered our everyday vocabulary. The scientific literature has exploded with studies exploring every facet of COVID-19, but unfortunately the “viral” spread of misinformation about the pandemic has also reached epic proportions.

Este volumen ofrece un recorrido cronológico por las epidemias que asolaron México desde la época prehispánica hasta nuestros días. Aunque son innumerables las investigaciones acerca de la historia de eventos epidémicos en el país, no existía hasta ahora un volumen compendioso, para un público no especializado y de atractiva lectura sobre la materia.

The most important fact about the coronavirus pandemic that turned the world upside down in 2020 is that our response to it has been an epic overreaction driven by a disastrous confluence of public and private interests - all of them purporting to “follow the science”. Since the lockdowns began, millions of Americans have relied on the reporting of Alex Berenson. Exposing the hysteria and manipulation behind the worst failure of public policy since World War I, this clear-eyed journalist has been a critical source of reason and truth.

Alla fine del 2019, i medici degli ospedali di Wuhan, nella Cina centrale, si trovano ad affrontare una strana sindrome respiratoria che pare legata al grande mercato ittico della città, dove oltre al pesce si vende ogni tipo di animale commestibile, vivo o morto. Mentre i malati si moltiplicano e alcuni soccombono a una polmonite virale particolarmente aggressiva, i laboratori riescono rapidamente a isolare il responsabile della malattia: è un nuovo coronavirus, simile a quello della SARS che tra il 2002 e il 2003 aveva spaventato il mondo.

Allan är stolt över sitt uppdrag i Höstjakten. Det är tyvärr inte alla som är villiga att göra sin plikt för samhället, men han gör den mer än gärna. Att det i år även är Farsans tur att bevisa sitt värde gör ingen skillnad. Parasit som parasit. Så är det bara.

In 2014, after fighting through yards of bureaucratic red tape, leaving her family, and putting her own health at risk in order to help suffering strangers, Kwan Kew Lai finally arrived in Africa to volunteer as an infectious disease specialist in the heart of the largest Ebola outbreak in history. What she found was not only blistering heat, inhospitable working conditions, and deadly, unrelenting illness, but hope, resilience, and incredible courage.

Professor Devi Sridhar has risen to prominence for her vital roles in communicating science to the public and speaking truth to power. In Preventable, she highlights lessons learned from outbreaks past and present in a narrative that traces the COVID-19 pandemic—including her personal experience as a scientist—and sets out a vision for how we can better protect ourselves from the inevitable health crises to come.

In Phantom Plague, Vidya Krishnan, traces the history of tuberculosis from the slums of 19th-century New York to modern Mumbai. In a narrative spanning century, Krishnan shows how superstition and folk remedies made way for scientific understanding of TB, such that it was controlled and cured in the West.

In late February 2020, Dr. Deborah Birx—a lifelong federal health official who had worked at the CDC, the State Department, and the US Army across multiple presidential administrations—was asked to join the Trump White House Coronavirus Task Force and assist the already faltering federal response to the Covid-19 pandemic. For weeks, she’d been raising the alarm behind the scenes about what she saw happening in public—from the apparent lack of urgency at the White House to the routine downplaying of the risks to Americans.
