The Third History of Man leaves bacteria in the rear-view mirror and jumps to viruses and viral infections, the cold, the flu and COVID-19 (not just another flu!). We’ll cover epidemics, pandemics, and vaccines, the pox infections, and the Spock principle—that the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few...or the one.
