The Asian Flu (1957-1958): Battling a Mid-Century Pandemic By Emily Wong In The Asian Flu (1957-1958): Battling a Mid-Century Pandemic, historian Emily Wong presents a compelling account of one of the most significant global health crises of the 20th century. The 1957 outbreak of the H2N2 influenza virus swept across continents, claiming an estimated 1-2 million lives and testing the resilience of governments, scientists, and healthcare systems. Through meticulous research and historical analysis, Wong explores the origins of the virus in East Asia, its rapid spread facilitated by post-war globalization, and the unprecedented response by public health authorities. She delves into the development of vaccines, the social and economic disruptions caused by the pandemic, and the lasting impact on global health policy. Drawing parallels with modern pandemics, The Asian Flu (1957-1958) provides a crucial historical perspective on how societies confront infectious disease outbreaks. This book is an essential read for those interested in epidemiology, medical history, and global health preparedness.
