Showing results for "Covid-19" in Physical Illness & Disease

For two years the COVID-19 pandemic has upended the world. The physician and medical historian Jacalyn Duffin presents a global history of the virus, with a focus on Canada. Duffin describes the frightening appearance of the virus and its identification by scientists in China; subsequent outbreaks on cruise ships; the relentless spread to Europe, the Americas, Africa, and elsewhere; and the immediate attempts to confront it.

Soon it was being injected into the arms of millions, turning the tide on the deadliest pandemic in living memory.
