"Airports closed and travel advisory warnings were in effect, paralyzing international travel. Hotels faced massive cancellations. Retail sales plummeted, and meetings and concerts were Six Things We Learned from SARS That Could Help Beat Pandemic Influenza 1 . a lethal human virus can jump directly from an animal virus. 2. a common virus can mutate into a killer. 3. in a fast-moving plague, there's no time to come up with a vaccine. 4.

"A high-energy lifestyle is often seen as a badge of social success: TV and cinema adverts seek to establish high-performance cars as status symbols, for example, whilst professional people may boast about how much international travel they do. We all need validation from our peers, and if our peer group behaves in a way which undermines our beliefs about climate change, this might lead to feelings of alienation rather than satisfaction. Given that resolving dissonance is difficult, and that denying it is dishonest, many people choose another way out of the dilemma: displacement." - Mark Lynas, Six Degrees: Our Future on a Hotter Planet (Get the book.)

"Although TB is less common in the United States, we are increasingly vulnerable, owing to high levels of international travel and relocation. Nearly 40 percent of U.S. TB patients are foreign-born. America's cultural mix is changing, and so is its mix of infectious diseases. The problem had become serious enough by 2000 that officials at the Institute of Medicine called for increased TB screening of new immigrants coming from Mexico or any country where more than 35 percent of the population was infected." - Elinor Levy, Mark Fischetti, The New Killer Diseases: How the Alarming Evolution of Germs Threatens Us All (Get the book.) "Though no large-scale outbreak of Marburg happened in that case, odds are, sooner or later the exponential increase in international travel will almost surely bring such diseases to our doorstep. North America was almost tested in February 2001 when a Congolese woman, traveling through Newark Airport in New Jersey and on to Canada, suddenly became extremely ill. Doctors feared she had brought Ebola or Marburg with her. Luckily that case turned out to be a false alarm." - Elinor Levy, Mark Fischetti, The New Killer Diseases: How the Alarming Evolution of Germs Threatens Us All (Get the book.) "No city or state can let up, because the new infections keep coming, due to unceasing international travel and immigration. Until TB is stamped out worldwide, it will always be ready to break out in America, Europe?anywhere. Challenging as is the effort to fight the disease in the United States, the obstacles faced in developing countries are even more daunting. The good news is that since the early 1990s, a version of DOT known as the Directly Observed Therapy—Short course (DOTS) has saved millions of infected patients." - Elinor Levy, Mark Fischetti, The New Killer Diseases: How the Alarming Evolution of Germs Threatens Us All (Get the book.)

"Parasites have become more prevalent for many reasons, including contaminated water supplies, day care centers, ease of international travel, foods, increased immigration, pets and the sexual revolution. Most people will meet a parasite at some point in their lives. Contrary to popular myths, having parasites isn't a reflection of your cleanliness. My family contracted Giardia in Chicago. We hadn't traveled and have absolutely no idea how we contracted it. If you have prolonged digestive symptoms, you should really consider having a comprehensive parasitiology screening." - Elizabeth Lipski, Digestive Wellness: How to Strengthen the Immune System and Prevent Disease Through Healthy Digestion (Get the book.)
