Epidemic!

A panel of experts, moderated by Arthur Miller, discuss the cause, spread and control of infectious disease. Using a hypothetical case study, the panel raises questions that will affect public health policy at the local and national level. Some of the questions raised: when should individual rights be forfeited for the public good? Can we prevent the next epidemic? How do we protect ourselves from microbes?

""What biological, ecological and cultural factors influence the causes, spread and control of infectious disease? How can we defend ourselves and our communities in the war against microbes? When should individual rights be forfeited to protect the public health? Can we prevent the next epidemic? In this dialogue, moderated by Professor Arthur R. Miller of Harvard Law School, a panel of experts explores potentially life-threatening situations, raising questions about public health on a personal, local, and global level."--Packaging."
"Quick to spread and develop resistance to medical intervention, new strains of microbes pose a growing threat to global health. How does overuse of antibiotics actually encourage more lethal strains of diseases believed to be conquered? How can the media successfully inform the public without causing panic? And should personal rights be curtailed during epidemics? This Fred Friendly Seminar, moderated by Harvard Law School's Arthur Miller, examines the biological, ecological, and cultural factors influencing the causes, spread, and control of infectious diseases. Panelists include Nobel Laureate Joshua Lederberg; David Kessler, former chairman of the FDA; Robert Moellering, Jr., of Harvard Medical School; C. J. Peters, of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention; and others."
