CNN  —  I've been reading a great book about a horrific pandemic that gripped the world more than a century ago, John M. Barry's "The Great Influenza: The Story of the Deadliest Pandemic in History." Mr. Barry, a professor at the Tulane University School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine , was nice enough to do an e-mail interview with me about the subject of his book and what we can learn from it. What follows is that e-mail interview, lightly edited: Tapper: John, thanks for doing this. I have a lot of questions about your great book! First one: What lessons can we learn from the influenza pandemic of 1918-19 that we should be applying today? John Barry: There are several and I think they are all important. No. 1, authorities need to tell the truth, even when it's uncomfortable – especially when ...

LONDON, June 28 (Reuters) - Two major players in global health philanthropy are joining forces to fund the final stage of trials for what could be the first new vaccine against tuberculosis (TB) in more than 100 years. Wellcome and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation will invest around $550 million in total for the Phase III trials of the M72 vaccine. TB, a bacterial disease that mostly affects the lungs, is preventable and treatable, but 10 million people still catch it annually, and 1.6 million people died from TB in 2021, almost entirely in low and middle-income countries. It has long been the world's deadliest infectious disease, although it was briefly overtaken by COVID-19. Earlier this year, Bill Gates lambasted the world for failing to fund new TB tools. His organization will provide the bulk of the financing for the new trial: around $400 million. But the organization is also looking for commercial partners to deliver the vaccine at scale if the trial is successful...

T he bad news is that the US healthcare system is broken and dysfunctional. We spend twice as much per capita as almost any other country, nearly $13,000 per year, while 85 million Americans remain uninsured or underinsured. In addition, our health outcomes are often worse. In terms of life expectancy, for example, we live far shorter lives than the people of many other industrialized nations. The system is failing ordinary Americans. On the other hand, the insurance and drug companies that dominate it have sky-high profits and their CEOs receive exorbitant compensation packages. The thousands of lobbyists those companies have on Capitol Hill are also doing very well. It's time for a change. As disastrous as our overall healthcare system is, our primary care system is even worse. Tens of millions of Americans live in communities where they cannot find a doctor or dentist, even when they have insurance, while others have to wait months to get seen. Despite spending a huge amount of ...

First, I take a homeopathic remedy to shorten the duration of my symptoms. If it's full-blown, I take a safe combination of guaifenesin, pseudoephedrine, and acetaminophen throughout the day. Mainly, I sleep and stay hydrated. The first day of being sick, it's practically all I do. I learned recently that no matter how sick I think I'll be or am, I should plan to take 3 days off work. Being in that limbo of trying...
