The Fatal Strain
The Fatal Strain: On the Trail of Avian Flu and the Coming Pandemic | Alan Sipress
1 post
In 2009, Swine Flu reminded us that pandemics still happen, and award- winning journalist Alan Sipress reminds us that far worse could be brewing. When a highly lethal strain of avian flu broke out in Asia in 2003 and raced westward, Sipress, as a reporter for The Washington Post, tracked the virus across nine countries, watching its secrets elude the world's brightest scientists and most intrepid disease hunters. A vivid portrayal of the struggle between man and microbe, The Fatal Strain is a fast-moving account that weaves cultural, political, and scientific strands into a tale of inevitable pandemic.

First time I‘ve visited a used bookstore in months. I kept my cool and came out with only two. This never happens, but I think I‘ll recover.
