    Summary:

    An essential survival guide – both to pandemic influenza, and to the hype surrounding it.
    Written by an emergency physician and a public health physician, The Flu Pandemic and You is a timely and forthright guide on how to prepare for an influenza pandemic, and how to understand the broader context in which this health threat exists.
    With cool heads and professional expertise, Drs. Lam and Lee carefully explain how readers can assess their level of risk, and set out practical advice on how to contend with a pandemic, addressing such issues as:
    • How the flu virus works and what level of threat Canadians really face
    • How to help protect yourself and your family from contracting influenza
    • How to identify symptoms
    • What you need to know about antiviral drugs
    • What to do in a worst-case scenario
    The Flu Pandemic and You develops a lucid framework to help people understand the current anxiety about influenza in the context of the risks we all face in our daily lives. This crucially important book, full of reasoned, knowledgeable advice, is an indispensable resource for fearful times.
