Pandemic-Flu (H5N1, Avian Influenza, "Bird Flu") Educational References
Pandemic-Flu (H5N1, Avian Influenza, "Bird Flu") Educational References
Here is an updated version of the reference set that I will episodically post here:
Background and historical references:
Barry, John M. (2004). The great influenza. NY: Viking. [comment: A very readable account of what happened and why in the 1918 pandemic, with an emphasis on the political expediences and cronyism of the day and media complacency - along with accounts of the public-health leaders who needed to fight not only the virus, but politicians and newspaper editors in order to eke out ways of dealing with the virus. Also, a good description of how this type of influenza differs from the typical, yearly bouts of influenza that most all of us are aware of.]
