One of the arguments often heard against our ever seeing another serious pandemic has been that modern medicine – armed with antivirals and antibiotics – will save us.
Of course, that ignores 90% of the world that generally has little access to those medical resources. Furthermore it assumes that in the developed world there will be room at the Inn (hospitals and ICUs) for all those who need it.
The Reveres at Effect Measure today point out that even if these resources are available, the outcome isn’t always a happy one.
Swine flu: will modern medicine save us?
Highly recommended.
