Summary
Didier Raoult: Epidemics: real danger and false alarms Didier Raoult
The world-renowned microbiologist who heads the largest French University Hospital Institute for Infectious Diseases (Institut hospitalo-universitaire, IHU) in Marseille, calls us to preserve our common sense. It is now clear to everyone that the international collapse caused by the COVID-19 epidemic will certainly have lasting consequences. In this truly timely book, Professor Raoult examines this latest public health crisis and points to the growing gap between health risks and public health strategies.
Diphtheria, chikungunya, ebola, bird flu, H1N1, Zika, SARS and MERS coronaviruses... Millions of deaths were predicted for all these epidemics, and none of it came true. What will happen to the Chinese coronavirus that has caused real panic in the world? The world has lost its mind, thanks in large part to the exaggeration the media is traditionally prone to. The media know very well that because of fear, newspapers really sell, and viewership increases. But when leading people in the country, above all politicians, start flirting with such an attitude, when they also start announcing the worst, the consequences are catastrophic. We are witnessing events that even science itself does not sufficiently understand. For example, we still don't understand why epidemics spread extremely quickly at the beginning, why they depend on the seasons, let alone why they disappear by themselves without any visible reason. Therefore, it serves no purpose to put the number of new cases or the number of deaths under people's noses every day. Using these numbers as a scarecrow can only cause disproportionate reactions considering the real danger, which, of course, we must not ignore.
