We’re living through an unprecedented time right now. But if you’re looking for a historical comparison, the 1918 influenza pandemic is as close as you’re going to get. Barry will teach you almost everything you need to know about one of the deadliest outbreaks in human history. Even though 1918 was a very different time from today, The Great Influenza is a good reminder that we’re still dealing with many of the same challenges. – источник2021-05-03T11:33:21.000Z

*The human suffering from this virus will be terrible enough and will expose what John Barry predicted in the epilogue to “The Great Influenza” in 2006, a must-read book about 1918 influenza: efficiencies imposed on hospital systems and “just-in-time” supply chains are threats. 3 – источник2020-01-22T17:59:06.000Z
@Holykisses Remember the Great Influenza of 1918 (amazing book by Barry)...40-50 million died at a 10% kill rate. The higher the rate, the faster it is likely to burn itself out. 10% is a global pandemic nightmare. – источник2020-02-29T00:10:49.000Z

Read this book by @johnmbarry a few years ago...found it fascinating. Decided to re-read...just for insights into disease and their effects on society. – источник2020-01-24T03:38:02.000Z
I guess it is a good time to point out that "The Great Influenza" is a great book. If you think modern medicine would have mitigate this one, you haven't read the book. – источник2020-02-29T15:39:25.000Z
