"Quitting the WHO was foolish. #Epidemics don't start in Iowa cornfields; they start in faraway jungles and wet markets. To stop them, you need to move fast... Also, the WHO is the hub for global disease alerts. When passengers who might have #hantavirus disembark from a Dutch ship and then fly to the U.S., we want to be told -- and quickly." https://www.medpagetoday.com/opinion/parasites-and-plagues/121283

The Triumph of the Fungi: A Rotten History by Oxford Nicholas, 2006
This book is concerned with the most devastating fungal diseases in history. These are the plagues of trees and crop plants, caused by invisible spores that have reshaped entire landscapes and decimated human populations.

"Japan’s health authorities have declared an influenza epidemic, with thousands of people infected with the respiratory virus. The number of infections is unusual for this time of year, researchers say, and could seed outbreaks in countries that are heading into winter in Asia and Europe — although it is unlikely to become a global pandemic."

"...each of the many epidemics [Frank M. Snowden (emeritus prof of history at Yale )] cites represent a writ-large example of a social crisis and often a political one as well"
"...epidemics have inevitably resulted in significant changes in society"
"Epidemics afflict societies through the specific vulnerabilities people have created..."
"COVID-19 flared up and spread because it is suited to the society we have made"

New paper just published.
When a pandemic occurs, a hard lockdown is an obvious and effective way to stop it. However, lockdowns come with serious societal issues. For example, during COVID-19, a critical mass of people opposing lockdowns coalesced in Britain. This was mainly due to two demographic groups, namely self-employed people, who were concerned about their own economic losses, and parents, who dreaded the prospect of having to be closed in the same home with their own kids. Seeking validation and trying to promote their own personal interests, these people became main spreaders of disinformation, eventually falling prey of state-sponsored populistic and anti-science propaganda machines.
In this study, we show that one can use optimization and control theory to introduce only light travel restrictions between macroareas, such as states or regions within a country, yielding better final results in terms of infections and economic damage than those that were actually obtained at the time.
