Desperate Hours - Episode 3 12

This episode tackles a universal threat: epidemics and pandemics. Unlike earthquakes or floods, disease can strike anywhere and spread globally in a flash. Recent fears of pandemics feel more real than ever. We examine Ebola and Cholera in Africa, SARS and Bird Flu in Asia, and the resurgence of Cholera despite past victories. Smallpox may be gone, but vigilance is key?epidemics ignore borders. Survival depends on individual care and collective action against outbreaks.
