Maybe you've seen the headlines and read the stories about the threat of a flu pandemic, but do you really know what would happen if there was an influenza outbreak?
The Flu Pandemic and You (Doubleday Canada, 2006), written by emergency and public health physicians Dr. Vincent Lam and Dr. Colin Lee, goes beyond the current media hype to explain just about everything a Canadian needs to know about flu pandemics. Without using complicated medical jargon, the authors clearly explain the scientific reasons behind current influenza concerns.
In this book, you'll find everything from the pros and cons of stocking up on antiviral medications to a pandemic history of the world. It examines how the Canadian government is preparing for a possible pandemic and even discusses the importance of animal health in relation to human health. One particularly helpful chapter explains the differences between seasonal, avian and pandemic influenza.
While many health experts expect there will be an upcoming influenza outbreak, The Flu Pandemic and You can better help you to prepare for one.
