Conflicting messages from the media and officials across different countries and organizations, the abundance of disparate sources of information, unfounded conspiracy theories on the origins of the virus, unproven therapies, and inconsistent public health measures, have all served to increase anxiety in the population. Where did the virus come from? How is it transmitted? How does it cause disease? Is it like flu? What is a pandemic? In this concise and accessible introduction, a leading expert provides answers to these commonly asked questions. This revised and updated edition now also covers how the virus mutates, how important these mutations are, how vaccines work, and what we can expect in the near and long-term future"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a COVID-19 (Disease) 650 12 $a COVID-19 650 22 $a Coronavirus 650 22 $a SARS-CoV-2 650 6 $a COVID-19. 650 7 $a SCIENCE / Life Sciences / Microbiology. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a COVID-19 (Disease) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01984643 655 2 $a Popular Work 776 08 $i Online version: $a Rabadan, Raul. $t Understanding coronavirus $b Revised and updated edition. $d Cambridge, United Kingdom ; New York, NY : Cambridge University Press, 2021 $z 9781009090063 $w (DLC) 2021039272 830 0 $a Understanding life series. 941 $a 1 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20221012010615.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=2FC5842849F311ED9CAF447533ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b JIDInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
