Survival is certainly key, but surviving, and what that means, is also critical. The scholarship included in this volume will take a closer look at what it means to survive by addressing such issues as the importance of ethnicity in vaccine uptake, the gendered and racialized impacts of the pandemic, the impact on those with disabilities, questions of food security, and what it means to grieve. Drawing on the expertise of scholars from around the world, the work presented here represents a remarkable diversity and quality of impassioned scholarship on the impact of COVID-19 and is a timely and critical advance in knowledge related to the pandemic.

In How to Survive a Pandemic, Dr Michael Greger, physician and internationally-recognized expert on public health issues, delves into the origins of some of the deadliest pathogens the world has ever seen. Tracing their evolution from the past until today, Dr Greger spotlights emerging flu and coronaviruses as he examines where these pathogens originated, as well as the underlying conditions and significant human role that have exacerbated their lethal influence to large, and even global, levels.

Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • From the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Looming Tower—a riveting thriller and “all-too-convincing chronicle of science, espionage, action and speculation” (The Wall Street Journal). At an internment camp in Indonesia, forty-seven people are pronounced dead with acute hemorrhagic fever. When epidemiologist Henry Parsons travels there on behalf of the World Health Organization to investigate, what he finds will have staggering repercussions. Halfway across the globe, the deputy director of U.S. Homeland Security scrambles to mount a response to the rapidly spreading pandemic leapfrogging around the world, which she believes may be the result of an act of biowarfare. And a rogue experimenter in man-made diseases is preparing his own terrifying solution. As already-fraying global relations begin to snap, the virus slashes across the United States, dismantling institutions and decimating the population. With his own wife and children facing diminishing odds of survival, Henry travels from Indonesia to Saudi Arabia to his home base at the CDC in Atlanta, searching for a cure and for the origins of this seemingly unknowable disease. The End of October is a one-of-a-kind thriller steeped in real-life political and scientific implications, filled with the insight that has been the hallmark of Wright’s acclaimed nonfiction and the full-tilt narrative suspense that only the best fiction can offer.

Book Survival of the City

Download or read book Survival of the City written by Edward Glaeser and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2021-09-07 with total page 481 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of our great urbanists and one of our great public health experts join forces to reckon with how cities are changing in the face of existential threats the pandemic has only accelerated Cities can make us sick. They always have—diseases spread more easily when more people are close to one another. And disease is hardly the only ill that accompanies urban density. Cities have been demonized as breeding grounds for vice and crime from Sodom and Gomorrah on. But cities have flourished nonetheless because they are humanity’s greatest invention, indispensable engines for creativity, innovation, wealth, and connection, the loom on which the fabric of civilization is woven. But cities now stand at a crossroads. During the global COVID crisis, cities grew silent as people worked from home—if they could work at all. The normal forms of socializing ground to a halt. How permanent are these changes? Advances in digital technology mean that many people can opt out of city life as never before. Will they? Are we on the brink of a post-urban world? City life will survive but individual cities face terrible risks, argue Edward Glaeser and David Cutler, and a wave of urban failure would be absolutely disastrous. In terms of intimacy and inspiration, nothing can replace what cities offer. Great cities have always demanded great management, and our current crisis has exposed fearful gaps in our capacity for good governance. It is possible to drive a city into the ground, pandemic or not. Glaeser and Cutler examine the evolution that is already happening, and describe the possible futures that lie before us: What will distinguish the cities that will flourish from the ones that won’t? In America, they argue, deep inequities in health care and education are a particular blight on the future of our cities; solving them will be the difference between our collective good health and a downward spiral to a much darker place.

Book Calling Out COVID 19

Download or read book Calling Out COVID 19 written by Faisal Sheikh and published by Business Expert Press. This book was released on 2021-05-15 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is written for business owners, entrepreneurs, leadership, or management teams in public or third sector and professionals who are currently dealing with the COVID-19 epidemic. We are currently experiencing the second wave of an unprecedented global pandemic–the COVID-19 crisis, which is destroying established industries such as tourism and attributing to the death of millions of people worldwide. The authors believe that the pandemic is analogous to the ancient Roman tragedy of Pompeii when the citadel was buried under four to six meters (13 to 20 feet) of volcanic ash and pumice in the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD 79. This book is written for business owners, entrepreneurs, leadership, or management teams in public or third sector and professionals who are currently dealing with the COVID-19 epidemic. It offers tools and techniques located in the economics of innovation, other frameworks such as the Fraud Triangle, and the authors extensive experience including rigorous cash management, practical fraud prevention, and detection and advice on implementing and refining corporate governance structures. The book will also be of interest to postgraduate including MBA students and business researchers. The book concludes by summarizing the key theories that can be used to understand the impact of this Pompeii Event and pragmatic solutions to fight COVID-19. The authors argue that organizations rooted in foresight will survive and emerge as future trail blazers. An extensive appendix is also included which outlines the implications for financial reporting.

Download or read book Surviving Covid written by Jerome M. Adams and published by Post Hill Press. This book was released on 2022-06-28 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Cold Truths About Covid-19 From America's Former Top Doctor As the Covid-19 pandemic continues to plague America and the world, there has been one constant––a lack of consistent, verifiable, scientifically-sound information about the dangers, risks, and mitigation strategies that the average person can understand and put into practice to keep themselves and their families safe. As politicians and self-interested media personalities spread disinformation for their own purposes, most of us have been left scratching our heads, wondering what is true and what isn't. Now the former Surgeon General of the United States, freed from the political constraints he worked under in public office, can reveal all the information that Americans need to create a safe environment for their families at home, in public, and in their wider communities. As Dr. Adams explains, the best Covid policies are the ones which begin at home, and which come about as people in local communities work together to find a solution that fits their specific needs. Only through this bottom-up, community-driven approach will we finally make our way out of the pandemic.

Book Essays On Surviving COVID 19 and Beyond

Download or read book Essays On Surviving COVID 19 and Beyond written by Dr. Jules Mitchel and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2022-12-12 with total page 167 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a culmination of thoughts and reflections triggered by the initial devastating wave of deaths from COVID-19, together with the mishandling of the responses and the manifestation of human fantasies, all of which were quite similar to what occurred during the Spanish flu pandemic at the time of World War I. Research on the history of plagues, wars, tyrants, and human behavior reinforced that there was "nothing new under the sun." As a biologist with an interest in evolutionary biology, I was curious to see if there were any insights we could learn from other species, but especially how mammals deal with behaviors such as competition, cooperation, empathy, and altruism. I discovered not only the well-known survival differences between the bonobo and chimpanzee but also how totally unrelated species can work together for the common good. One example is how the honeyguide bird in Africa helps humans find beehives and then how the honeyguide bird eats the leftovers. It also has become clear for humans to reflect that based on the complexity of societies and living organisms in general, there are no simple solutions to the survival of any species. However, one thing is clear: only through cooperation, empathy, and acts of altruism, like firefighters entering a burning building, soldiers confronting the enemy, and police protecting our schools, will the human species be able to live in harmony. Also, only by confronting selfish, greedy autocracies, plutocracies, and kleptocracies will the human species be able to survive on planet Earth.
