A leading epidemiologist shares his "powerful and necessary" (Richard Preston, author of The Hot Zone) stories from the front lines of our war on infectious diseases and explains how to prepare for global epidemics -- featuring a new preface on COVID-19. Unlike natural disasters, whose destruction is concentrated in a limited area over a period of days, and illnesses, which have devastating effects but are limited to individuals and their families, infectious disease has the terrifying power to disrupt everyday life on a global scale, overwhelming public and private resources and bringing trade and transportation to a grinding halt.In today's world, it's easier than ever to move people, animals, and materials around the planet, but the same advances that make modern infrastructure so efficient have made epidemics and even pandemics nearly inevitable. And as outbreaks of COVID-19, Ebola, MERS, and Zika have demonstrated, we are woefully underprepared to deal with the fallout. So what can -- and must -- we do in order to protect ourselves from mankind's deadliest enemy?
Drawing on the latest medical science, case studies, policy research, and hard-earned epidemiological lessons, Deadliest Enemy explores the resources and programs we need to develop if we are to keep ourselves safe from infectious disease. The authors show how we could wake up to a reality in which many antibiotics no longer cure, bioterror is a certainty, and the threat of a disastrous influenza or coronavirus pandemic looms ever larger. Only by understanding the challenges we face can we prevent the unthinkable from becoming the inevitable. Deadliest Enemy is high scientific drama, a chronicle of medical mystery and discovery, a reality check, and a practical plan of action.

In love
Color: Smoke Blue, Size: Full/Queen, Color: Smoke Blue, Size: Full/Queen
I am very weird with needing a certain kind of texture on me while I sleep, to provide me with a warmth and at ease sleep. It's super soft on both sides. Providing a certain level of coziness. I absolutely love the way this color looks- in person and on line. Overall, I love love it. The price is very reasonable. The color i chose creates a great ombiance for what i'm looking for in my room. They have so many colors to choose from. I def would give this a try. How could you not. Especially with free shipping and returns. Its a win win. I will be buying more colors in the future. Anyone who love the feel of uggs blankets. Will probably love this. The material isn't the same of course (but) it certainly works. I have an ugg throw on my bed as well and I like both. This blanket feels lighter compared to the ugg throw blanket (but) it has the same sorta softness in the inside. The ugg throw is much thicker than this blanket. Obviously, it's hard to compare the two. Hope this helps

Plush and Warm
Color: Navy Blue, Size: Queen
This comforter is so warm that you can sleep as you come! In a full PJ set this blanket makes me sweat so I have learned that less is more. It is sooooo plush, and soft that it will have you not wanting to come out of bed. The size is perfect for a couple or someone who wants to feel nice and cozy like a bug in a rug. The quality of blanket is amazing as it is thick, fluffs up immediately out the package, has no smell and does not have a wrinkly appearance. I bought this to replace a feather down blanket that had my bedroom feeling like a chicken coop and it definitely does not disappoint. If you want to save on your heating bill, give a warm gift or have a plush night of sleep then this comforter is for you.

Wife and cat approved!!!
Color: Grey, Size: Queen, Color: Grey, Size: Queen
The BEDELITE Fluffy Queen Comforter has been a great addition to our bedroom. It has a soft, plush feel right out of the bag and fluffs up nicely once laid out. It strikes a nice balance of being lightweight while still keeping us warm and cozy, which is perfect for year-round use. My wife immediately noticed how soft it felt, and it really does make the bed feel more inviting at the end of the day.
What surprised me most is how much everyone in the house seems to love it—our cats practically live on the bed now because of how comfortable it is. The fabric feels gentle against the skin, and it doesn’t have that scratchy or noisy texture some budget comforters do. Overall, it’s a cozy, well-made option that delivers good warmth and comfort at a reasonable price.

Soft, Warm & Cozy
Color: Navy Blue, Size: Queen
The BEDELITE Fluffy Queen Comforter Set is absolutely wonderful. I purchased it for my 75-year-old mom during her visit to Oregon, where the weather can be quite cool, and it was the perfect choice.
The sherpa material is unbelievably soft and cozy without being too heavy. It kept her warm and comfortable, especially in the evenings, and she commented multiple times on how soft and luxurious it felt. The quality is excellent, and it looks great on the bed as well.
If you’re looking for a warm, plush comforter that’s gentle, cozy, and ideal for cooler climates or older guests, this set is a fantastic purchase. We’re very happy with it and would definitely buy it again.
