Publisher's summary

Do you want to know more about the Spanish influenza? Do you want to know more about current pandemics in the world?

This book charts the history and legacy of the worst global pandemics and begins with the history of the diseases, including the Spanish flu and many others and how they shaped subsequent events, bringing down nations while inadvertently lifting others.

The weapon against pandemic is the truth. Read why in this account of the Spanish influenza.

In this book, you will learn and know the story of one of the worst pandemics of all time which can help you better understand the present and future of human diseases, why pandemics happen, how they happen, and how to prevent them.

In the case of coronavirus, the most ideal carrier animal for this type of virus is a bat or snake, since humans don’t consume snakes and bats in several areas of the world, but in some places like China they are consumed, and it is suspected that the new outbreak is also linked to the consumption of an infected bat. The same is the cause for other coronavirus outbreaks in the past, and it is the origin of a novel coronavirus outbreak in Wuhan.

To prevent future epidemics, governments must take action on making policies for the sale and purchase of livestock like bats and snakes, and proper testing should be done before taking wild animals to the big markets near denser urban areas like Wuhan. One is the virus being brought into the market by an infected individual, the second is about the virus getting in the market with one infected animal, and the third predicts the effect of the virus getting into the market with the help of several animals at once.

This audiobook covers the following topics:

  • Why Was It Called the Spanish Flu?
  • What Caused the Spanish Flu?
  • The Global Impact of The Largest Influenza Pandemic
