Covid-19

How are epidemics formed? Why do they spread? What measures should be taken to stop them? How can the coronavirus evolve and how could it affect us in the future? Debora Mackenzie, a science journalist with three decades of experience in monitoring the most worrisome pandemics, brings us up to date on the scientific knowledge on this virus. A rigorous and shocking book that warns of the unlearned lessons of diseases such as SARS, MERS or Ebola, that denounces the neglect of our society and that explains how having acted late has worsened the effects of this and other epidemics. It is probable, says the author, that another great contagion will hit us and that it is even worse than the current one; but it is also possible to plan for a secure future. This book gives us the keys to achieve it.
