Dr. Ali Khan, a former CDC disease detective, explains how viruses can spread quickly and how we can best protect ourselves from the next global outbreak.
In "The Next Pandemic", Dr. Ali S. Khan draws on his experience working as a disease detective for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to explain the science behind infectious diseases and the threat they pose to global health. The book covers a range of topics, including the history of pandemics, the biology of viruses and how they spread, and the role of government and other organizations in preparing for and responding to outbreaks. Ultimately, Dr. Khan argues that while pandemics are inevitable, we can take steps to mitigate their impact and prevent them from becoming global catastrophes.
