Week 43 is over and I’m currently at 46 books for the year. I just wrapped up Patient Zero by Lydia Kang and Nate Pedersen. The book looks at the history behind disease outbreaks by investigating how they start, how they spread, the science behind our understanding of them, and how we try to eradicate the disease.
