Description

Dr. Marc Siegel, a practicing internist and an associate professor at the New York University School of Medicine, cuts through the hype, the facts, the fears, and the realities about bird flu to explain what has the experts so worried and why there’s 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, Dr. Siegel looks at the advances we’ve 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.
