About The Book

Marc Siegel is an articulate voice of reason in a world beset by hype and hysteria. We would be well advised to listen closely to what he has to say.-Jerome Groopman M.D. staff writer the New Yorker. Siegel cuts through the hype about the deadly this and the lethal that and applies reason in seeking the answers.-John M. Barry author of The Great Influenza: The Epic Story of the Deadliest Plague in History. Timely and needed. At such times we need soothsayers and explicators to redirect the ready-fire-aim mindset. Siegels book fulfills this role well.-The Journal of the American Medical Association. As bird flu sweeps through Asia the rest of the world has begun to worry that it might spread west and start infecting humans. As many experts have pointed out an influenza pandemic is only a matter of time and that time could be now. Or is it? In Bird Flu Dr. Marc Siegel cuts through the hype the facts the fears and the realities to explain what has the experts so worried and why theres still plenty of reason to be calm. Among the questions he answers are:* What is bird flu and who has it?* What can I do to protect my family?* Should I stockpile Tamiflu?* Will this be like the deadly Spanish flu of 1918?* Why is there no bird flu vaccine?* Will the annual flu shot protect me?. In his sensible and entertaining style Siegel looks at the advances weve made in treatments the research still to be done and the challenges ahead for Asia to lay out a realistic plan for ending this global threat. While a bird flu outbreak in the United States may or may not happen this year theres still a great deal of work to be done in readying America for outbreaks of any kind.
