The 2nd edition of PANDEMIC (Clinical Press 2021) updates the
history of plagues and provides extra chapters concentrating on the
origin of the Covid-19 pandemic, treatment, vaccination and the
effect of lockdowns. As one furloughed doctor said the first
edition sorted out my mind. We are very lucky to be living in the
21st century and comparison with the many plagues of the past puts
the Covid-19 pandemic in its place. The second edition continues
this cathartic exercise and puts into some order the origin, the
prevention and the treatment of the condition. Historical records
show that people who work with viruses are often prone to
accidental escapes from their laboratories like the one giving
origin to COVID-19. The lessons of history are heavily in favour of
the lab-leak theory compared with the now-discredited theory of
zoonotic origin. Interspersed with the serious history are true
personal anecdotes and a few ridiculous cartoons. The author points
out: Laughing at the things we fear is one of the best ways of
putting those fears into perspective.
