Specificatii
The SARS epidemic of 2003 was one of the most serious public health
crises of our times. The event, which lasted only a few months, is
best seen as a warning shot, a wake-up call for public health
professionals, security officials, economic planners, and policy
makers everywhere. SARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome) is one
of the new epidemics. SARS in China addresses the structure and
impact of the epidemic and its short and medium range implications
for an interconnected, globalized world. After initially stalling
and prevaricating, the Chinese government managed to control SARS
before it became a global catastrophe, an accomplishment that
required political will and national mobilization. Recent warnings
from the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) regarding avian flu make it
clear that SARS may have been a prelude to bigger things. The
contributors to this volume include a journalist, WHO's
representative in Beijing, and health care professionals, several
of whom found themselves on the frontlines of the battle to
understand and control SARS. Their vivid, first-hand accounts
encouraged other contributors to go beyond the boundaries of their
respective disciplines and write for a wide audience. The authors
of this volume focus on specific aspects of the SARS
outbreak--epidemiological, political, economic, social, cultural,
and moral. They analyze SARS as a form of social suffering and
raise questions about the relevance of national sovereignty in the
face of such global threats. Taken together, these essays
demonstrate that SARS had the potential of becoming a major turning
point in human history. This book thus poses a question of the
greatest possible significance: Can we learn from SARS before the
next pandemic? Contributors: Erik Eckholm Joan Kaufman Arthur
