Full Description:

Alan P. Zelicoff, MD is the author of “More Harm than Good” and “Microbes: Are We Ready for the Next Plague”. What is an epidemic and how does it differ from an “outbreak”? How is the next pandemic likely to occur and why is the next epidemic almost CERTAIN to occur? Would an intentional event such as a bioterrorism event seem different than an accidental or natural occurring event? How do we mitigate the threat of BOTH pandemics and bioterrorism?
