DEADLIEST ENEMY
Michael Osterholm Mark Olshaker
Our War Against Killer Germs
A world-leading epidemiologist explains how to prepare for epidemics that can challenge the world order.
In today's world, it's easier than ever to move people, animals, and materials around the planet, but the same advances that make modern infrastructure so efficient have made epidemics and even pandemics nearly inevitable. And as outbreaks of Ebola, MERS, yellow fever, and Zika have demonstrated, we are woefully underprepared to deal with the fallout. So what can -- and must -- we do in order to protect ourselves from mankind's deadliest enemy? The authors show how we could wake up to a reality in which many antibiotics no longer cure, bioterror is a certainty, and the threat of a disastrous influenza pandemic looms ever larger.
Dr. Michael Osterholm is Regents Professor, and the founding director of the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy (CIDRAP) at the University of Minnesota.
