Una noche que expertos y autoridades han señalado como una bomba biológica en la propagación de la COVID-19 en Italia y España. De esa propagación formó parte, sin saberlo, el periodista deportivo Kike Mateu, que se convirtió a su vuelta en el primer infectado por coronavirus en Valencia: el paciente cero.

"Desde el comienzo de la pandemia en México, me indignaron las declaraciones del subsecretario de Salud, Hugo López-Gatell: su insistencia en que la enfermedad no era más grave que la influenza, el exceso de confianza en que todo estaba previsto y el espectáculo teatral de sus apariciones públicas. Hoy, López-Gatell reporta a diario las consecuencias de sus decisiones: más de 134 mil mexicanos han muerto y la pandemia no está cerca de concluir."

Seitdem Menschen sesshafte Landwirtschaft betreiben, kommt es immer wieder zu tödlichen Epidemien. Aber warum nehmen diese Infektionen heute die Form weltweiter Pandemien an, so wie es bei COVID-19, SARS, MERS oder der Vogelgrippe der Fall war? Warum häufen sie sich - und was lässt sich dagegen unternehmen? Der US-amerikanische Biologe Rob Wallace erklärt, wie Pandemien entstehen und warum sie sich global ausbreiten. In seiner Analyse berücksichtigt er die evolutionäre Dynamik der Krankheitserreger ebenso wie die gegenwärtigen ökologischen und ökonomischen Strukturen.

Es grassiert flächendeckend Angst vor COVID-19, vor schwerer Erkrankung und Tod. Dabei ist wissenschaftlich längst erwiesen, dass nicht das Virus selbst, sondern eine "allergische" Reaktion unseres Immunsystems tötet. Erst diese immunologische Fehlfunktion zerstört die Lungen und verursacht tödliches Organversagen. Wie es dazu kommt, dass aus einer natürlichen Abwehrreaktion eine derart unnatürliche Selbstzerstörung wird, ist der Wissenschaft ebenfalls bekannt - aber nicht der breiten Öffentlichkeit.

The struggle against deadly microbes is endless. Diseases that have plagued human beings since ancient times still exist, new maladies make their way into the headlines, we are faced with vaccine shortages, and the threat of germ warfare has reemerged as a worldwide threat.

Between the years 1918 and 1920, influenza raged around the globe in the worst pandemic in recorded history, killing at least 50 million people, more than half a million of them Americans. Yet despite the devastation, this catastrophic event seems but a forgotten moment in our nation's past. American Pandemic offers a much-needed corrective to the silence surrounding the influenza outbreak.

In June and July of 2020, the Institute for Policy Studies invited 68 of the world's leading thinkers and activists to participate in eight in-depth discussions. They discussed a green recovery, the global economy, coronavirus authoritarianism, migrants and refugees, budget priorities, the global ceasefire, international civil society, and multilateral cooperation. This report by John Feffer from the frontlines of global policy stands in stark contrast to the reality in the world today.

When we look back at the year 2020, how can we describe what really happened? In A Deeper Sickness, award-winning historians Margaret Peacock and Erik Peterson set out to preserve what they call the “focused confusion,” and to probe deeper into what they consider the Four Pandemics that converged around the 12 astonishing months of 2020.

Dr. Bonnie Henry, a leading epidemiologist (microbe hunter) and public health doctor at the forefront of the fight against the worldwide COVID-19 coronavirus outbreak, has spent the better part of the last three decades chasing bugs all over the world - from Ebola in Uganda to polio in Pakistan, SARS in Toronto, and the H1N1 influenza outbreak across North America. Now she offers three simple rules to live by: wash your hands, cover your mouth when you cough, and stay at home when you have a fever.

Mysterious and misunderstood, distorted by biblical imagery of disfigurement and uncleanness, Hansen's disease or leprosy has all but disappeared from America's consciousness. In Carville, Louisiana, the closed doors of the nation's last center for the treatment of leprosy open to reveal stories of sadness, separation, and even strength in the face of what was once a life-wrenching diagnosis. Drawn from interviews with living patients and extensive research in the leprosarium's archives, Carville: Remembering Leprosy in America tells the stories of former patients.

Americans are experts at swiping right - in just the last several years, they've made billions of online dating matches. But this accelerated online dating process must go hand in hand with an enlightened approach to sexually transmitted disease - currently over 147 million Americans have an STD, and only a minority of those persons are aware of their infection. Not surprisingly, STDs have recently increased dramatically.

For as long as humans have lived on this earth, nature has done its very best to rid the planet of us. This audiobook not only looks back at a number of times in recorded history where the future of our very existence was put in jeopardy, but also asks whether we could survive a resurgence of these pandemics - or even an entirely new as-yet undetected threat. From the plague of Justinian, through the Black Death and Spanish flu, to the 2015/16 Zika outbreak, we explore how each epidemic began, spread, and threatened to wipe us out.
