Abstract

This chapter reviews three recent pandemics—SARS, MERS, and Ebola, with the intent of seeing the scope of the health impact of these pandemics and the control mechanisms applied. COVID-19 is different in major ways—much more contagious, with health effects less impactful for most of the population. There is no comparison in impact, but coping with pandemics includes some commonality. Some basic pandemic statistics are reviewed.
