The Coming Plague

Her background in health journalism and previous work on infectious diseases really come through. I wonder what specific events or research sparked her deep dive into these global health threats.

The book covers so many different diseases and historical moments — it made me think about how interconnected our health systems are. Was that overwhelming or eye-opening for others?

The selection of diseases feels very deliberate, but I’m curious about her process in choosing what to focus on and what might have been left behind.
