Patient Zero: A Brief History of the Science Stories Behind the World's Worst Diseases by Lydia Kang

tarmstrong112's review

3.0

Honestly disappointed in this book. It was interesting, but I feel like I was sold a bill of goods by the title. There is some talk about various Patients Zero throughout history, but the vast majority of the book is about the history of various diseases and the science behind them. This was incredibly interesting but I was hoping for more. I did appreciate how new this book was and it's extensive coverage of the current unpleasantness.
