The definitive guide to fighting coronaviruses, colds, flus,
pandemics, and deadly diseases, from one of North America's leading
public health authorities, now updated with a new introduction on
protecting yourself and others from COVID-19.
Dr. Bonnie Henry, a leading epidemiologist (microbe hunter) and public
health doctor at the forefront of the fight against the worldwide
COVID-19 coronavirus outbreak, has spent the better part of the last
three decades chasing bugs all over the world -- from Ebola in Uganda to
polio in Pakistan, SARS in Toronto, and the H1N1 influenza outbreak
across North America. Now she offers three simple rules to live by: wash
your hands, cover your mouth when you cough, and stay at home when you
have a fever.
From viruses to bacteria to parasites and fungi, Dr. Henry takes us on a
tour through the halls of Microbes Inc., providing up-to-date and
accurate information on everything from the bugs we breathe, to the bugs
we eat and drink, the bugs in our backyard, and beyond. Urgent and
informative, Soap and Water & Common Sense is the definitive guide to
staying healthy in a germ-filled world.
