The contributions in this work offer the reader insights in these and several other recent pandemics that present differentlyeither via contagion or mortality rateand how each should be addressed by countries of various sorts. This book is a must for the ongoing debate on how we should treat public health crises, such as the one we have all just encountered in the novel COVID-19 pandemic
