Anticipating a career in medicine, Dr. William A. Haseltine was in his first weeks of graduate studies at Harvard when a legendary physician-scientist offered this advice: “You can do more for human health through science than you ever could as a doctor.” That advice hit him “like a thunderbolt” - and he took it. Since then, Dr. Haseltine has helped combat cancers, worked to contain the HIV/AIDS pandemic and unlocked the power of the human genome to develop dozens of new pharmaceutical cures.

Malária, sífilis, tuberculose, ebola, gripe, aids, sarampo e outros males que atacam a humanidade revelam muito mais da nossa história do que imaginamos. Os passos do homem ao longo das épocas, pelos continentes, o início da utilização de vestimentas, a convivência com diversos animais, o encontro com outros seres humanos: tudo isso pode ser desvendado agora com o estudo microscópico de vírus, bactérias e parasitas que cruzaram - e cruzam - o nosso caminho.

O infectologista Stefan Cunha Ujvari trata, neste audiolivro fascinante e atualíssimo, das epidemias e pandemias mais marcantes da nossa história. Como a humanidade conviveu com essas doenças?

Dedica um capítulo para a COVID-19 e mostra por que, afinal, essa doença parou o mundo.

Pandemia é uma epidemia de grandes proporções. Os cientistas temem que a humanidade seja vítima de uma pandemia capaz de matar dezenas e até centenas de milhões de pessoas no mundo todo. Para que isto aconteça basta que apareça uma doença que combine enorme capacidade de contaminação (de preferência antes de os sintomas aparecerem) com poder para matar grande número de pacientes infectados. A grande concentração urbana que caracteriza a humanidade em nossa época (ao contrário do que aconteceu quando das grandes febres do começo do século XX) facilita a propagação.

For those who could read between the lines, the censored news out of China was terrifying. But the president insisted there was nothing to worry about. Fortunately, we are still a nation of skeptics. Fortunately, there are those among us who study pandemics and are willing to look unflinchingly at worst-case scenarios. Michael Lewis’ taut and brilliant nonfiction thriller pits a band of medical visionaries against the wall of ignorance that was the official response of the Trump administration to the outbreak of COVID-19.

The bumper-sticker directive to ‘follow the science’ was actually an evasion of responsibility. It let people off the hook for their bad decisions in a crisis. Was New York Governor Cuomo’s executive order sending COVID-hospitalized patients back to nursing homes to infect other vulnerable nursing home patients ‘following the science’? Relative to the total nursing home population, Governor Cuomo contributed to a larger percentage of nursing-home deaths - especially when compared to the states without such a policy.

Societies have struggled with pandemics for thousands of years. Plague and cholera, smallpox and influenza; deadly diseases spring up, kill thousands, if not millions, and we still don’t learn.

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic, and in the months since this declaration, the virus has shown no sign of relenting. This microscopic enemy has invaded every country and aspect of life, leading to a frantic global scramble for treatments, information, and an effective vaccine.

No other topic dominates our attention as much as coronavirus and COVID-19, the infectious disease it triggers. There’s been a global deluge of contradictory opinions, fake news, and politically controlled information. Differing views on the dangers posed by the pandemic have led to deep division and confusion, within governments, society, and even among friends and family. In Corona, False Alarm?, award-winning researchers Dr. Sucharit Bhakdi and Dr. Karina Reiss give clarity to these confusing and stressful times.

The story of the Spanish Flu of 1918 is best told and understood from the newspaper reports of publications large and small from every corner of the United States.
