Description

Ed Regis. The virus detectives of the Center for Disease Control (CDC) risk their lives daily at the bottom of nature to confront the world’s deadliest pathogens. Regis takes us on a fascinating odyssey, chronicling the CDC’s extraordinary 50-year history against the backdrop of the 1995 Ebola outbreak in Zaire -- & exploding the media-driven myth of “the coming plague.” Starting from a small government agency founded for the purpose of eradicating malaria in the 1940s, the CDC has grown into a disease-fighting behemoth whose sphere of action is the entire planet. Explores the CDC’s battles against Lassa fever & Legionnaires’ disease.
