Publisher's Synopsis
COVID-19, stole global headlines in the opening months of 2020, and its many impacts are still to play out. The common adage, 'If the US sneezes, the world catches a cold' is now demonstrable in a multiplicity of ways, but it is China that has sneezed. This anthology provides insight into the nature of global pandemics such as SARS, MERS, Ebola and HIV/AIDs, then focuses on Wuhan, where COVID-19 broke out - though patient zero is as yet unknown. It examines the massive effort that China has undertaken since the outbreak to contain its spread, and includes personal stories of the first lockdown experiences.
