好像是說2022左右新冠會齣現二次全球爆發,以及2024年之前去人流密集的地方都還是有危險…唉

Dr. Jeremy Brown trained at University College School of Medicine in London and completed his residency in emergency medicine in Boston. He was the Research Director in the Department of Emergency Medicine at George Washington University before moving to the National Institutes of Health, where he now directs its Office of Emergency Care Research. His opinion pieces have been published in The New York Times and The Washington Post, and he has written for Discover magazine.
On the 100th anniversary of the devastating pandemic of 1918, Jeremy Brown, a veteran ER doctor, explores the troubling, terrifying, and complex history of the flu virus, from the origins of the Great Flu that killed millions, to vexing questions such as: are we prepared for the next epidemic, should you get a flu shot, and how close are we to finding a cure?
While influenza is now often thought of as a common and mild disease, it still kills over 30,000 people in the US each year. Dr. Jeremy Brown, currently Director of Emergency Care Research at the National Institutes of Health, expounds on the flu's deadly past to solve the mysteries that could protect us from the next outbreak. In Influenza, he talks with leading epidemiologists, policy makers, and the researcher who first sequenced the genetic building blocks of the original 1918 virus to offer both a comprehensive history and a roadmap for understanding what’s to come.
Dr. Brown digs into the discovery and resurrection of the flu virus in the frozen victims of the 1918 epidemic, as well as the bizarre remedies that once treated the disease, such as whiskey and blood-letting. Influenza also breaks down the current dialogue surrounding the disease, explaining the controversy over vaccinations, antiviral drugs like Tamiflu, and the federal government’s role in preparing for pandemic outbreaks. Though 100 years of advancement in medical research and technology have passed since the 1918 disaster, Dr. Brown warns that many of the most vital questions about the flu virus continue to confound even the leading experts.
Influenza is an enlightening and unnerving look at a shapeshifting deadly virus that has been around long before people—and warns us that it may be many more years before we are able to conquer it for good.
用时:2020年5月22日-5月31日,10天 记录:15页 抓着五月份的尾巴读完这本书,已经不会像几个月前疫情爆发期间那样心情复杂,新近发生的一些事情又刚好与书中内容形成印证,阅读的时机可谓刚刚好。 尽管作者是一名医生,但当他讲述关于病毒本身的知识点时并没有使用很多学术性...
評分2020年已经过了半年多一点,凭借重大事件发生的密集程度,今年大概会在历史上留下浓墨重彩的一笔。跨越时间长度最广的新冠疫情,既是诸多重大事件中最重要之一(目前来看,之一似乎可去掉),也是许多其他重大事件的导火索。不能不让人想起2003年的非典疫情。截止到目前,新冠...
評分病毒是这个星球上最古老的存在之一。在各种病毒里,人类最熟悉的是流感病毒,它与我们关系极其紧密,带来的影响很大。比如,公元前5世纪古希腊雅典人口的大量死亡、1675年伦敦的瘟疫大流行等,都引发了剧烈的政局动荡。现在的研究发现,这些事件可能都因流感病毒而起。病魔不断...
評分“根据预计的免疫接种规模,在接种流感疫苗的两天内,大约2300人会中风,7000人会心脏病发作。“为什么?”他问道,“因为这是根据统计学得出的数字,不管人们有没有接种流感疫苗。”” 01 — 作者做过急诊医生,也做过流感相关的科研。全书回顾100年来人类对流感的认识与防治...
