Podcasts about deadliest pandemic

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the coronavirus outbreak, months after it originated in China, a global pandemic. It soon infected millions of Americans in all 50 states, upending daily life and revealing deep fissures and paranoia in society. Historian John Barry is an authority on the 1918 influenza pandemic and a scholar at the Tulane University School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine. In this episode, he reflects on the most important lessons learned from Covid-19 and how we can best prepare for the next pandemic. Recommended reading: The Great Influenza: The Story of the Deadliest Pandemic in History by John Barry

Diseases have defined eras, from the Antonine Plague during Marcus Aurelius' reign to the recent COVID-19 pandemic. Dr. Fauci, a public health leader and advisor to seven Presidents, talks with Ryan about the importance of social responsibility, his influential contributions during the HIV/AIDS crisis and COVID-19 pandemic, and the growing politicization of public health.Dr. Anthony Fauci is a physician-scientist and immunologist, former NIAID Director, chief medical advisor to the president from 2021 to 2022, and author of On Call: A Doctor's Journey in Public Service.

It's flu season, so this week on the show, we're bringing you something seasonal: a history of epidemics in two parts. In part 1, we talk about the 1918 influenza outbreak with John Barry, author of the NY Times Best-seller Seller The Great Influenza: The Story of the Deadliest Pandemic in History (Penguin, 2005). And in part 2 we dig into the history of infectious disease with epidemiologist Erin Welsh, co-host of This Podcast Will Kill You. This episode is a supercut of #120 The History of Influenza w/ John Barry and #151 Live in Chicago w/ Pete Souza & Erin Welsh, both of which originally aired in 2019. This episode was edited by Ben Sawyer.

"The Story of the Deadliest Pandemic in History" Transcript and written book summary available here for free

Michael offers follow-up thoughts to a weekend interview he conducted with Dr. Anthony Fauci, the former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, on new data showing masks were not as effective against COVID-19 as previously thought. And, he hears from John Barry, author of "The Great Influenza: The Story of the Deadliest Pandemic in History." Original air date 5 September 2023.

WARNING: The following episode contains multiple references to a certain American president who shall not be named. Due to the high volume of mentions, The Dispatch production team used discretion in playing the musical cue which normally follows all such mentions. We apologize in advance. On today's Remnant, Jonah is joined by Robert Kagan—leading scholar of foreign policy and senior fellow at the reviled Brookings Institution, where the sweet taste of candy never gets old—to discuss his new beach read, a 700-page history of America's role in the world in the first half of the 20th century. Their conversation covers everything from the origins of the League of Nations to the wackiness of Charles Beard, with some fiendishly nerdy musings on isolationism, nativism, and conservatism mixed in for good measure. Predictably, Jonah does not make good on his initial promise to “not get too deep into the weeds.” Show Notes: -Due to the insane amount of "Wilson" name drops in this episode, there will only be one Wilson theme music play -The Ghost at the Feast: America and the Collapse of the World Order, 1900-1941 -The Great Influenza: The Story of the Deadliest Pandemic in History -American Midnight: The Great War, a Violent Peace, and Democracy's Forgotten Crisis -“Challenging the U.S. Is a Historic Mistake” Learn more about your ad choices.

What's On My Bookshelf? A Review: Plagues Upon the Earth, by Kyle Harper The Fourth Horseman of the Apocalypse | Part 2 Highlights We still have much to learn from the experience of those who lived and died before us. It is urgent that we do so. The long history of disease counsels us to expect the unexpected. The worst threat may be the one we cannot see coming. Bubonic Plague (Black Death)Three stages in history - The Justinian Plague (500's A.D.), The Black Death (1300's A.D.) and Modern Era Plague (1890's A.D.) Almost anywhere the evidence in Europe is rich enough to form a quantitative impression, the Black Death carried off 50-60 percent of the population...the death toll is always staggeringly high. Although many a textbook still claims that the Black Death carried off a third of the continent, in reality, the best estimates are closer to half...In Europe alone, forty million or more might have been claimed by this bacterium. The plague is a killer in a class by itself Small Pox Endemic throughout the Eastern Hemisphere. Brought to the Americas by the conquistadors. Major outbreaks of small pox occurred on Hispaniola and other islands in the Caribbean from the earliest days of discovery but then jumped from the Caribbean to the shores of Mexico in 1520. By the time Cortez approached the capital city of the Aztecs a year later, it had been “hollowed out” by the deadly disease. The small pox devastation continued along the trade routes to the north and to central and south America, having the same impact. Measles came alongside and made its way to the mainland continuing its decimation of those small pox hadn't claimed. In the 1700's it accounted for 10-15% of all mortality in Europe. As the practice of vaccination extended world-wide, small pox was finally eliminated entirely in 1977. It was a global triumph. To date, small pox is the first and only human pathogen that has been driven to extinction. The Great Influenza (1918/1919) Killed approximately 50,000,000 people. One of the single most deadly events in global history. And it infected perhaps one in three persons alive, making it probably the single most coordinated rapid attack by a parasite in the history of the planet. And the threat of future novel influenza strains, replaying the events of 1918 to 1919 remains one of the most dangerous lurking threats to human health. The Great Influenza: The Story of the Deadliest Pandemic in History, by John Barry.

The Spanish flu of 1918 wasn't from Spain and it didn't start or end with 1918. It lasted for years, killed millions around the world, and it infected President Woodrow Wilson himself, right as he was negotiating the treaty that would end World War I. The costs of that infection may have been the values and world order he'd taken the United States into the war to achieve.Join me as I talk with John Barry, Distinguished Scholar at the Tulane University School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine and author of The Great Influenza: the story of the Deadliest Pandemic in History, about Woodrow Wilson and the Great Influenza of 1918.Support the show

I recovered. Thanks everyone for being patient. Not a … patient.

In this crossover episode with the Coronavirus Crisis Update podcast, Andrew and Steve are joined by John Barry, historian and author of the award-winning The Great Influenza; the Story of the Deadliest Pandemic in History, a study of the 1918 pandemic. He is currently working on a volume on Covid-19: “Writing books makes me happiest and craziest.” He has penned many editorials over the course of the pandemic, drawing lessons from 1918. What has he discovered? “What we learn from history is we learn nothing.” Where are we today? “Until vaccines are widely distributed and there is easy access to antivirals, the virus will rule. … I am optimistic the virus will continue trending to mildness” but there may be intermediate steps. “Mutations are random.” “We are at a potentially dangerous time” if we throw away our defenses and become indifferent or complacent. His high school football coach taught him a lesson for today: late in the game, you are tired and the other guy is tired. “The guy who focuses at the end will win.” That does not mean you “live in a box” and isolate yourself. Aaron Rodgers, while a great football player, “lied” about his vaccination status. He “is a total jackass.” Before becoming a writer, John Barry coached football at the high-school, small college, and major college levels. He is a Distinguished Professor at Tulane University's Bywater Institute and a professor at the Tulane School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine.

Queensland has experienced its deadliest day of the pandemic in the same 24 hours the state finally reached its 90 per cent vaccination target. Meanwhile tensions rise between the New South Wales government and the nurses' union over a planned strike to address pay and staffing shortages. - Naitala ng Queensland and pinakamataas ng bilang ng kamatayan mula sa COVID-19 kasabay ng pag-abot ng estado sa siyamnapung porsyentong vaccination target. Habang sa New South Wales naman ay patuloy ang tensyon sa pagitan ng pamahalaan at mga unyon ng nurse sa gitna ng pinaplanong strike upang matugunan ang kakulangan sa sweldo at manggagawa.

There's a renewed focus on encouraging eligible Australians to get their booster shots, and concerns are also being raised about how to protect vulnerable Australians.

The lab leak theory has been in the news again, following Republicans on the House Committee on Oversight and Reform releasing a letter with more details on a February 1, 2020 call between Anthony Fauci, Francis Collins and expert scientists, discussing the pandemic's possible origin. It's a story that Toronto's Elaine Dewar has been following for some time. The investigative journalist wrote a book on the topic during the city's endless months of lockdown, following the trail through news reports, medical papers and government documents — and detailing alarming details about connections between the National Microbiology Lab in Winnipeg and Chinese military scientists. Elaine Dewar's book, On the Origin of the Deadliest Pandemic in 100 Years: An Investigation is a riveting read, and the subject of our conversation on this week's episode of the podcast.

This week we have the great honor of hosting one of the most respected American political leaders over the last few decades, a visionary who ushered in a new era of value-based care in our country during his tenure at HHS. Someone who is known for a strong track record of building collaborative relationships that achieve measurable results, who also is an entrepreneur at heart.  Of course, we are talking about no other than the legendary Michael O. Leavitt! As the former Secretary of Health & Human Services and a three-time Governor of Utah, Michael Leavitt earned a reputation for leading change through collaboration. He is one of the most influential leaders in the value movement because he sees how it can balance human compassion with the need for global economic leadership.  Michael Leavitt is also an early pioneer in competency-based education and co-founded Western Governors University – the leading nonprofit online university in the country, serving over 100,000 students with over 250,000 alumni.  This week marks the 25th Anniversary of WGU's Founding, and we spend considerable time honoring Michael Leavitt's legacy by discussing both his leadership in value-based care and his vision for competency-based education to drive workforce development in health value transformation.

Leavitt's cofounding of Western Governors University on January 15th, 1997 (this week marks the 25th anniversary!) 05:05 “The language of health is heard by the heart. The richest and poorest of us are bound together by the uncertainty of our mortality, the health conditions of those we love and, in some cases, the desperation of our pain.” 06:30 Michael Leavitt provides an extensive history of the U.S. healthcare system and how poor system design led to high cost, low value care 10:40 How high healthcare costs (as a percent of GDP) compromises global competitiveness for the United States 11:30 “Value-Based Care” entered into the healthcare lexicon during Leavitt's tenure as HHS Secretary 12:40 “We are in a race to make value work. If we can, we'll have the kind of compassionate care we want to provide and maintain our economic leadership.” 14:20 “Health is going to be one of the fields of competition between economic competitors, and getting our health system right will be critical to that. And value will be the means by which that can occur.” 15:30 Leavitt explains how the adoption of value-based contracts has been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic 17:20 Leavitt describes his proactive leadership during the H5N1 pandemic as HHS Secretary and the influence of “The Great Influenza: The Story of the Deadliest Pandemic in History” 19:20 The failure of human beings to realize that pandemics as a part of natural history and how that leads to lack of preparedness. 22:00 “When it comes to pandemics, anything you say in advance sounds alarmist. Anything that you have done after it starts is inadequate.” 24:20 “Moving to value will require us to learn and change. You can fight this change and lose, you can accept this change and survive, or you can lead this change and prosper.” 26:10 Solving complex problems through collaboration and how cooperation only seems to come about in times of great exigency. 28:50 Referencing his book, “Finding Allies, Building Alliances: 8 Elements that Bring—and Keep—People Together” 29:45 Building an alliance of 19 U.S.

It has been two years since the coronavirus that causes COVID-19 entered the human population, and the world has marked another grim milestone: the death toll has surpassed more than 5 million people. That figure includes more than 750,000 Americans, of whom roughly 100,000 have died in the past three months despite the availability of safe, effective vaccines and boosters. Soon, however, Americans may reach the post-pandemic phase of this nightmarish saga. That is because herd immunity may be on the horizon, according to historian John Barry, the author of “The Great Influenza: The Story of the Deadliest Pandemic in History.” In this episode, Barry explains why at least 90 percent of the U.S. population could soon have at least some immunity to the deadly virus, and what "life after COVID" might look like.

There is ongoing debate about how COVID-19 made the jump from animals to humans. Investigative journalist Elaine Dewar has a theory, and it is contained in her new book, "On the Origin of the Deadliest Pandemic in 100 Years: An Investigation." She shares her insights with Steve Paikin. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Festival's Neil Wilson sits down with author and journalist Elaine Dewar, winner of nine National Magazine awards, to discuss her latest publication, On the Origin of the Deadliest Pandemic in 100 Years: An Investigation . "[Dewar] has spent the pandemic following the politics, the scientific research, the news coverage—and the money … Her book casts a shadow over the wet market theory and points a finger at the Chinese government—and at some scientists and leading science journals for their single-minded support and promotion of this theory … The book reads almost like a detective novel." — The Globe and Mail When the first TV newscast described a SARS-like flu affecting a distant Chinese metropolis, investigative journalist Elaine Dewar started asking questions: Was SARS-CoV-2 something that came from nature, as leading scientists insisted, or did it come from a lab, and what role might controversial experiments have played in its development? Why was Wuhan the pandemic's ground zero—and why, on the other side of the Atlantic, had two researchers been marched out of a lab in Winnipeg by the RCMP? Why were governments so slow to respond to the emerging pandemic, and why, now, is the government of China refusing to cooperate with the World Health Organization? And who, or what, is DRASTIC? Locked down in Toronto with the world at a standstill, Dewar pored over newspapers and magazines, preprints and peer-reviewed journals, email chains and blacked-out responses to access to information requests; she conducted Zoom interviews and called telephone numbers until someone answered as she hunted down the truth of the virus's origin.

In the early days of the pandemic, a conspiracy theory claimed that the virus was intentionally released from a lab. It was seized upon by the worst people and drove racist scapegoating of Asian people around the world. And if that wasn't horrific enough, it also managed to poison the well for the investigations that must be done now. Not to prove that the virus was released on purpose—that's conspiracy—but to pinpoint as accurately as we can how the virus made its way into humans and what we can learn from understanding that. So: What's the case for Covid-19 having leaked from a laboratory?GUEST: Elaine Dewar, investigative journalist and author of On the Origin of the Deadliest Pandemic in 100 Years

The lab-leak theory has more evidence supporting it than ever before. Journalist Elaine Dewar has written a new book documenting little-known scientific evidence and acts of deception and obfuscation from Chinese, American, and Canadian officials. So what exactly were they all trying to hide?

This week we discuss Harry and Meghan's book deal and the trials and tribulations in writing narrative non-fiction. TRF's royal watchers, Brand Manager Anne Sampson and agent Kathryn Willms discuss Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, while our panel discussion features non-fiction writers Timothy Christian (author of the forthcoming Hemingway's Widow), Elaine Dewar (author of the just-released On the Origin of Deadliest Pandemic in 100 Years: An Investigation), and Jonathan Tepper (author of The Myth of Capitalism with Denise Hearn), discussing the art of narrative non-fiction.

As the Delta variant rages across the United States, hospitals are filling up with unvaccinated patients. Americans are suffering and dying needlessly, because the country has enough doses to vaccinate every eligible person. But the pathogen has allies: right-wing fanatics on cable TV who sow mistrust in life-saving inoculations, social media charlatans pushing quack cures, and plain old stubbornness, laziness, ignorance, or complacency among the citizenry. Historian John Barry, author of 'The Great Influenza: The Story of the Deadliest Pandemic in History,' returns to the podcast to talk about Delta and the variants to come, the politics of pandemics, and reasons to be optimistic. Yes, optimistic!

Nicole welcomes John M. Barry back the show a year after he first appeared. He's the author of "The Great Influenza: The Story of the Deadliest Pandemic in History" about the 1918 Spanish Flu. Today we get an update. But we begin the show with a look at the House Oversight Hearing today about the Jan 6 Capitol insurrection. And, of course, the House Republican conference cancelled Liz Cheney's leadership role because she told the truth.

One year after the rhythms of daily life were upended by the unchecked spread of an invisible, deadly pathogen, Americans have a degree of optimism that the worst of the coronavirus pandemic is behind them. Glimmers of hope are mixing with dark realities, however, as more than 1,000 Americans people are dying each day. Historian John Barry, author of 'The Great Influenza: The Story of the Deadliest Pandemic in History,' joins the podcast to discuss the similarities between 1918 and today.

Welcome to the About Practice podcast, a show about bridging the gap between research and practice in education. In this episode Josh and Ryan talk about why they wanted to do a show like this, how they do research for their projects, the practical problems of consuming research, and why the Allen Iverson Talking About Practice interview is a surprisingly good analogy for education research.

Contagion aside, coronavirus is a powerful little virus. It has prompted a global experiment in behavior modification: elbow bumps instead of handshakes, hand sanitizer and mask shortages, a gyrating stock market.  Pragmatism motivates our behavior toward the spread of this virus, but so do fear and panic. In 1918, amplified fear made the Spanish Flu pandemic more deadly.  Can we identify when we're acting sensibly in the face of COVID-19, or when fear has hijacked our ability to think rationally and protect ourselves?

On this Thanksgiving holiday weekend, I put together a show on two of the most important and interesting topics in medical history--the 1918 influenza pandemic and the yellow fever outbreak in the United States in the 18th and 19th centuries. These are older; however, very informative interviews. To discuss the 1918 influenza pandemic is historian and author of the book, The Great Influenza: The Story of the Deadliest Pandemic in History, John M. Barry. During the second half, writer and author, Bob Arnebeck joined me to discuss the history of yellow fever in the US in the late 18th century into the 19th century.

This year marks the 100th anniversary of the 1918 influenza pandemic--history's worst epidemic which killed more people than World War I and World War II combined. Historian and author of the book, The Great Influenza: The Story of the Deadliest Pandemic in History, John M. Barry joined me to discuss several topics on the history of this unusually deadly influenza pandemic.
