Download or read book Breathless written by David Quammen and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2022-10-04 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story of the worldwide scientific quest to decipher the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, trace its source, and make possible the vaccines to fight the Covid-19 pandemic. Breathless is the story of SARS-CoV-2 and its fierce journey through the human population, as seen by the scientists who study its origin, its ever-changing nature, and its capacity to kill us. David Quammen expertly shows how strange new viruses emerge from animals into humans as we disrupt wild ecosystems, and how those viruses adapt to their human hosts, sometimes causing global catastrophe. He explains why this coronavirus will probably be a “forever virus,” destined to circulate among humans and bedevil us endlessly, in one variant form or another. As scientists labor to catch it, comprehend it, and control it, with their high-tech tools and methods, the virus finds ways of escape. Based on interviews with nearly one hundred scientists, including leading virologists in China and around the world, Quammen explains that: -Infectious disease experts saw this pandemic coming -Some scientists, for more than two decades, warned that “the next big one” would be caused by a changeable new virus—very possibly a coronavirus—but such warnings were ignored for political or economic reasons -The precise origins of this virus may not be known for years, but some clues are compelling, and some suppositions can be dismissed -And much more. Breathless takes you inside the frantic international effort to understand and control SARS-CoV-2 as if we were peering over the shoulders of the brilliant scientists who led the chase.

Download or read book Viral written by Matt Ridley and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2022-06-28 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Chan and Ridley write with an urgency...that inspires gripping depictions of what viruses are, how infectious-disease laboratories work and wonderfully lucid descriptions of bats. . . . They powerfully recount how dangerous pathogens can both leak from a lab and emerge in nature." (New York Times Book Review) Understanding how Covid-19 started is crucial for the future of humankind. Viral is the most incisive and authoritative book about the search for the source of the virus. A new virus descended on the human species in 2019 wreaking unprecedented havoc. Finding out where it came from and how it first jumped into people is an urgent priority, but early expectations that this would prove an easy question to answer have been dashed. Nearly two years into the pandemic, the crucial mystery of the origin of SARS-CoV-2 is not only unresolved but has deepened. In this uniquely insightful book, a scientist and a writer join forces to try to get to the bottom of how a virus whose closest relations live in bats in subtropical southern China somehow managed to begin spreading among people more than 1,500 kilometres away in the city of Wuhan. They grapple with the baffling fact that the virus left none of the expected traces that such outbreaks usually create: no infected market animals or wildlife, no chains of early cases in travellers to the city, no smouldering epidemic in a rural area, no rapid adaptation of the virus to its new host—human beings. To try to solve this pressing mystery, Viral delves deep into the events of 2019 leading up to 2021, the details of what went on in animal markets and virology laboratories, the records and data hidden from sight within archived Chinese theses and websites, and the clues that can be coaxed from the very text of the virus’s own genetic code. The result is a gripping detective story that takes the reader deeper and deeper into a metaphorical cave of mystery. One by one the authors explore promising tunnels only to show that they are blind alleys, until, miles beneath the surface, they find themselves tantalisingly close to a shaft that leads to the light.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the identification of the first cases of the coronavirus in December 2019 in Wuhan, China, there has been a significant amount of confusion regarding the origin and spread of the so-called 'coronavirus', officially named SARS-CoV-2, and the cause of the disease COVID-19. Conflicting messages from the media and officials across different countries and organizations, the abundance of disparate sources of information, unfounded conspiracy theories on the origins of the newly emerging virus and the inconsistent public health measures across different countries, have all served to increase the level of anxiety in the population. Where did the virus come from? How is it transmitted? How does it cause disease? Is it like flu? What is a pandemic? What can we do to stop its spread? Written by a leading expert, this concise and accessible introduction provides answers to the most common questions surrounding coronavirus for a general audience.
Download or read book 21st Century Science of written by and published by . This book was released on 2020-09-03 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pandemics, global infections since 1918 due to Influenza, Coronaviruses, HIV and other infectious agents have caused millions of deaths and have been periodic occurrence in the past century. Coronaviruses are enveloped viruses with a positive-sense single-stranded RNA genome and with a nucleocapsid of helical symmetry. There is no confirmed specific treatment that works for every person who has severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (SARS) due to corona viruses at this time. Antiviral broad spectrum drugs like remdesivir and anti-inflammatory immunosuppressive steroids like dexamethasone are appropriate to be given to reduce lung inflammation due to cytokine storm or complement mediated hyper inflammation or blood clots, causing critical organs to fail, but is not effective for everyone. One has to be very careful not to administer immunosuppressive agents just after suspected exposure or infection. Supplemental oxygen or a ventilator has been prescribed when necessary depending on the extent of breathing difficulty or shortness of breath. COVID-19 or Coronavirus 2 (CoV-2), which originated in the city of Wuhan in the Hubei province of central China is similar to the SARS virus which caused the 2003 outbreak in Southern China in appearance. COVID-19 and other pandemic viruses or potentially pandemic enveloped viruses are most likely to be neutralized by viral entry inhibitors, broad spectrum enveloped virus neutralizing compounds, present in 100% pomegranate juice based on global studies on multiple enveloped viruses. Along with travel restrictions to and from epicenters and lock downs, safe distancing both indoors and outdoors frequent hand washing, use of sanitizers, wearing of a mask N95 or one with an ULPA or Hepa filter (ordinary masks will not trap viruses), a dash to the primary care or immediate care physician, daily drinking of a glass of pomegranate juice could be started if exposure is suspected or first symptoms are noticed. The WHO or CDC should be promptly informed so that the tracking of the spread is possible. If the history of COVID-19 is any indications of how this pandemic has spread rapidly by air travel, it is very appropriate that all airports, and entry points by land and sea should screen passengers for temperature elevation using heat sensing digital devices and infrared sensing devices for large groups and prompt quarantine of those found positive for the virus or having symptoms for observation and further action. Wild animals be best left in the wild and all infected mortal remains be best cremated. Bats and Migratory birds such as the ones that spread Influenza H5N1 could be monitored for infections along their intercontinental flight path. Prevention is better than cure and knowledge is power. Following suspicion of an unknown deadly virus lurking in clinics and hospitals as manifested by serious symptoms and inability to rapidly diagnose and characterize the causative agent should be alarming and a reason for concern. Physicians like Dr. Li WenLiang, one of the first few Wuhan doctors should never be considered as false alarm. But instead awaken the world with an urgency of now. Imagine how the world could have responded in a timely manner and contained the virus from spreading out of Wuhan, China like wild fire. Travel restrictions and tracing could have been done much earlier and the world could have prepared to respond just like China did. After the 2003 SARS Coronavirus (CoV-2) pandemic that also originated in China, China was prepared and ready to mobilize an appropriate response without a vaccine and without a widely known and available antiviral. When I gave a talk in 2008 at the Henan Univ., China to the Infectious Disease specialists, on the broad spectrum entry inhibitor compounds in pomegranate juice, I was told that pomegranate juice is considered traditional Chinese Medicine. I have no way of knowing that it was used but China used quarantine, masks, soaps, ventilators well.

Download or read book Rage written by Bob Woodward and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2020-09-15 with total page 480 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rage is an unprecedented and intimate tour de force of new reporting on the Trump presidency facing a global pandemic, economic disaster and racial unrest. Woodward, the #1 international bestselling author of Fear: Trump in the White House, has uncovered the precise moment the president was warned that the Covid-19 epidemic would be the biggest national security threat to his presidency. In dramatic detail, Woodward takes readers into the Oval Office as Trump’s head pops up when he is told in January 2020 that the pandemic could reach the scale of the 1918 Spanish Flu that killed 675,000 Americans. In 17 on-the-record interviews with Woodward over seven volatile months—an utterly vivid window into Trump’s mind—the president provides a self-portrait that is part denial and part combative interchange mixed with surprising moments of doubt as he glimpses the perils in the presidency and what he calls the “dynamite behind every door.” At key decision points, Rage shows how Trump’s responses to the crises of 2020 were rooted in the instincts, habits and style he developed during his first three years as president. Revisiting the earliest days of the Trump presidency, Rage reveals how Secretary of Defense James Mattis, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats struggled to keep the country safe as the president dismantled any semblance of collegial national security decision making. Rage draws from hundreds of hours of interviews with firsthand witnesses as well as participants’ notes, emails, diaries, calendars and confidential documents. Woodward obtained 25 never-seen personal letters exchanged between Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, who describes the bond between the two leaders as out of a “fantasy film.” Trump insists to Woodward he will triumph over Covid-19 and the economic calamity. “Don’t worry about it, Bob. Okay?” Trump told the author in July. “Don’t worry about it. We’ll get to do another book. You’ll find I was right.”

Download or read book The Invisible Enemy Lessons for Post Covid Era written by Prabhat Kumar Chaturvedi and published by Blue Rose Publishers. This book was released on 2021-02-05 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What happens in the After of the Covid-19 or Corona pandemic, what? We do not know, for how long the Novel Coronavirus is going to control our activities, our fears, and our lifestyle. Experts believe that the main reason behind the spread of such diseases, which can be transmitted to humans from animals, is deforestation and climate change. Coronaviruses, including those related to SARS-CoV-2, are present in many wild mammals in Asia. Corona is not the first, and most certainly, will not be the last pandemic that the world is going to face. In the Post -Ccovid Eera all countries must be in routine preparedness for such influenza pandemics or other virus pandemics. All countries need to strengthen the healthcare systems and upgrade the reporting process and protocol to handle such crises. One of the main reasons behind this pandemic is the greed of human beings. Dangerous viruses have spread, mainly, due to deforestation. It has resulted in environmental damage causing climate change and ultimately destroying the natural habitat of wildlife. Increasing demand for minerals, palm oil, beef, and wood products is the main reason for deforestation forcing a change in the natural habitat of animals. We must cut the emission of greenhouse gases in the next twenty years, otherwise, the average global temperature will increase by more than 2 0 C, resulting in expanding deserts, disappearing ice caps, rising oceans, and even more extreme weather events. These changes, in turn, will disrupt agriculture production, inundate cities on the seashore, and make much of the world uninhabitable. Unfortunately, most governments are ignoring the threat. If we learn our lessons in the wake of COVID-19 and other pandemics and about the consequences of inaction, we shall be more prepared to save lives and future generations.
