Overview

The 1918 flu pandemic infected 500 million people worldwide and resulted in the deaths of 50 to 100 million people. While this is unusual for communicable diseases, it is always a possibility. How does something as small as a virus spread across such a vast region and infect so many people? What is the relationship between viruses and antibiotics. What is to be done if another flu pandemic takes place? Or something even more deadly? This anthology examines issues related to pandemics. Includes primary and secondary sources from a variety of perspectives; eyewitnesses, scientific journals, government officials, and many others. Readers will gain insight into the science behind pandemics.
