We talk to NY Times bestselling author Dr Michael Greger about his book: How to Survive a Pandemic. He is also the author of many other acclaimed books including HOW NOT TO DIE. Dr Greger's knowledge of infectious diseases, from tuberculosis and measles to AIDS and COVID-19, is deep. He explains their origin: human interaction with animals. Otherwise known as zoonotic diseases for their passage from animals to humans, these infections—both pre-existing ones and those newly identified—have sparked some of the deadliest plagues in history. Dr Greger will answer these questions: How did these diseases come about? What can we do to prevent future pandemics? What is the role of industrialized animal agriculture in this crisis? Followed by a panel discussion.
