Epidemic Life and Death
History流行病的生与死
(france) Patrice Debray Et Al.
From tuberculosis, which has plagued mankind since the Neolithic Age, to the Black Death, which was comparable to nuclear war in the past, from COVID-19, which is constantly "escalating and mutating", to monkeypox, a "close relative" of smallpox... Whether you admit it or not, the epidemic of infectious diseases has become a part of human history. The author of this book reviews major infectious disease outbreaks in human history such as plague, tuberculosis, Ebola, AIDS, and SARS, introduces their origin, development, demise, and historical impact on mankind, and demonstrates the transformation of mankind from ignorance in history to scientific epidemic prevention in modern times. Humans once thought that infectious diseases could be eliminated by relying on vaccination and the use of antibiotics, but new epidemics have repeatedly proved to humans that infectious diseases will always coexist with humans.
