Podcasts about great influenza the story

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.

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.

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.

The 1918 Pandemic was a deadly outbreak of influenza that killed tens of millions globally. It was also forgotten by historians for a generation. Medical officers in charge of the American Expeditionary Forces in World War I were confident that they could stop all infectious diseases in their tracks. The previous advances in medical science showed them that wartime epidemics could be stopped through sanitary measures. But when the flu pandemic ripped through their ranks, they didn't know what to do. And the government was too focused on winning the war to offer much help to the civilian population. After the war, authorities were unable to deal with the horrors of the disease in an honest way. They preferred to forget. And so for decades afterwards, the horrors of the 1918 pandemic were erased from the cultural consciousness. This is a 10-part series brought to you by the QAA 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. Additional resources on the future of workforce development for value-based care: Why Workforce Development for Value-Based Care is a Vital Issue to Address Value-Based Care Certificate program at WGU WGU College of Health Professions The Accountable Care Learning Collaborative (ACLC) Episode Bookmarks: 01:40 An introduction to the legendary Michael O. Leavitt and his storied leadership in value-based care 03:10 Balancing human compassion and Global Economic Leadership to ensure compassionate delivery of healthcare 04:00 Gov. 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.

Dylan talks to John M. Barry, distinguished scholar at Tulane University and author of The Great Influenza: The Story of the Deadliest Pandemic in History, about the Spanish flu of 1918-1919, its parallels to Covid-19, and what that pandemic's end tells us about how this one might end.

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.

Just over 100 years ago, the world faced a deadly pandemic not dissimilar to COVID-19. The "great flu" of 1918-1919 was largely forgotten until we needed to historic lessons on how to combat the waves of infection. With Christopher McKnight Nichols, this week's show investigates the pathogenic parallels.Essential Reading:Christopher McKnight Nichols and Brandon Jett, “Americans used to sacrifice for the public good.

Ep. 54 — How writing a best-selling book on the deadly 1918 influenza pandemic positioned this author to become a prescient thought leader on the COVID-19 pandemic / John M. Barry, Author, Distinguished Scholar, Tulane School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine. John Barry remembers the exact moment he gave up his boyhood dream of doing medical research for his other boyhood dream of writing. He was 13 years old and had returned from summer camp eager to examine some bacteria cultures he had grown and left in the freezer, only to find them gone. Little did he know it at the time, but after a long detour away from his childhood love for medical research, Barry would write an award winning book on science and medicine called, The Great Influenza: The Story of the Deadliest Pandemic in History. The acclaimed book, which he dreaded writing because of its complexity, positioned Barry to give timely history, context and framing for the COVID-19 pandemic when it exploded on the world stage last year. The crisis of pandemics and how to deal with them would largely take over Barry's life. Don’t miss my fascinating conversation with John M. Barry, prize winning and New York Times bestselling author of six books, two of which, The Great Influenza and Rising Tide: The Great Mississippi Flood of 1927 and How It Changed America, have pulled Barry into various policy advising roles with state, federal, United Nations, and World Health Organization officials on influenza, water related disasters, and risk communication. Barry is currently a distinguished scholar at the Tulane School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine in New Orleans.

Chitra Ragavan: Barry is currently a distinguished scholar at the Tulane School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine in New Orleans. John, welcome to the podcast. John M. Barry: Thanks for having me. Chitra Ragavan: You were pretty serious about medical research even when you were 11. How did that start? John M. Barry: I was just fascinated by it. I was one of those kids that had a lab in their home. I actually had a pretty good quality though ancient microscope. It had lights, lens, and things like that, an expensive microscope. Grew my own media, agar-agar, and all these dyes. I was playing with E. coli, which can kill you, but seemed pretty tame because I could use that in my school class. I figured if it was in school, it wasn't very exciting. I sent away to the American Bacteriological Supply House in Wa...

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.

The University of Kentucky Center for Clinical and Translational Science kicked off its annual Spring Research Days with a keynote panel featuring acclaimed historian and author John M. Barry. His 2004 book “The Great Influenza: The Story of the Deadliest Pandemic in History” was a New York Times bestseller and named by the National Academies of Science as the year’s outstanding book on science or medicine. Dr. Greg Davis spoke one on one with Barry and got his take on how the United States' response to the COVID-19 outbreak compared with that of the 1918 Spanish Flu, and what lessons are to be learned going forward.

https://lukeford.net/blog/?p=137510 A great benefit of therapy is that you begin to see many more options in your life. I would typically come into a session with a problem where I only saw one or two ways out and my therapist would help me see many possibilities. I would think I had to respond this way or that way to an obnoxious person and my therapist would help me see I might be best served by not responding at all. Similarly, a great benefit of reading history is that you learn new ways of understanding the present. There's a right-wing trope these days that we live in unprecedented times of restrictions on our freedom, but when you read history, you soon see that almost everything that is supposedly unprecedented about our current cancel culture, Big Tech collusion and Corona Virus restrictions have happened before and that there are certain circumstances that are likely to give rise to this repression. It's not an aberration, for example, for journalists to cheer on censorship of their competitors. The primary reason I did not react with rage to Covid restrictions like most right-wing pundits did is that I read a book by Paul Barry about the 1918 Spanish Flu, The Great Influenza: The Story of the Deadliest Pandemic in History. I don't know how anyone could learn about how that respiratory illness devastated the world a century ago and still believe that individual freedom in the face of such a challenge was the important thing. After reading that Paul Barry book, I concluded that a collective response might make more sense. The biggest difference between me and other dissident right livestreamers is that I read more books and therefore I'm less susceptible to the hysteria that comes from watching videos that reinforce your prejudices. I know people who got taken in by crackpot Ivor Cummins who propounded that if you had a previous corona virus, like 80% of the population, you would be immune to this one, and that deaths by Covid-19 cost but one year of life. I am a structuralist. It's the structure of reality and the shifting nature of power that shapes how individuals act. I see individual freedom as circumscribed by genetics, context and events. For example, our policies towards China won't be profoundly affected by who is in charge of America and China. Personalities don't matter as much as structure for international relations. The structure of our great power rivalry dictates that America pivots to Asia and away from Europe to confront the rise of China.

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.
