Story
Some 73,000 years ago, the Mount Toba supervolcano in toda's Indonesia erupted, releasing the energy of a million tons of explosives. So much ash and debris was injected into the stratosphere that it partially blocked the sun's radiation and caused global temperatures to drop for a decade. In this book, Donald R. Prothero presents the controversial argument that the Toba catastrophe nearly wiped out the human race, leaving only about a thousand to ten thousand breeding pairs of humans worldwide.

Imagine a scenario where some of your healthiest friends around you suddenly start exhibiting symptoms of a very severe form of pneumonia, followed by desperate struggles to clear their airways of a blood-tinged froth that’s also gushing from their eyes and mouth (within hours of developing the flu) and soon after, clueless doctors watch them suffocate to death. That’s what some survivors were reporting, and believe me, it was worse than it sounds here.

A pandemic is transmittable disease that can significantly boost morbidity and death over a vast geographical area and also trigger considerable financial, social, and even political interruption. Evidence recommends that the probability of pandemics has enhanced over the past century due to increased global traveling and even combination, urbanization, changes in land use, and also better exploitation of the native environment. These trends likely will continue and also will intensify.

We are facing an overwhelming army of deadly, invisible enemies. We need a plan - before it's too late. Unlike natural disasters, whose destruction is concentrated in a limited area over a period of days, and illnesses, which have devastating effects but are limited to individuals and their families, infectious disease has the terrifying power to disrupt everyday life on a global scale, overwhelming public and private resources and bringing trade and transportation to a grinding halt.

In the winter of 1918, at the height of World War I, history's most lethal influenza virus erupted in an army camp in Kansas, moved east with American troops, then exploded, killing as many as 100 million people worldwide. It killed more people in 24 weeks than AIDS has killed in 24 years, more in a year than the Black Death killed in a century. But this was not the Middle Ages, and 1918 marked the first collision between modern science and epidemic disease.

Impressive I learned a lot current situation
If you want insight into the Covid19 situation, this book will provide you with a good understanding.The real surprise is in the last chapter, which summarizes the current situation as of 2005. It is quite sobering. But, the surprise is that Red China hid news from world on another outbreak prior to Covid19. The world should take note of this and take appropriate actions.

Know the real cause of the pandemics
It is heartbreaking to be reminded that throughout history people have blamed certain religious beliefs, sexual orientations, political beliefs, etc. for the spread of disease rather than accepting a much more universal and scientific root. It is even more frustrating that this continues today.

1918 pandemic horror and why we need scientists
This succeeds in dramatically describing the unfolding of what is considered the worst pandemic in human history.The 1918 influenza virus went through the world like a giant scythe killing millions in a matter of weeks. That this coronavirus pandemic is not presently as lethal as 1918 is a hollow reassurance

Knowledge is the best weapon to contain pandemics. Now that the new virus covid is among us,we can use what we have learned to protect ourselves and others to mitigate some of the effects- good hygiene,hand washing, social distancing, self quarantining,etc. Vaccines will be produced but in the meantime take care.
