Learn how we have treated, and curtailed, epidemics such as Polio, Spanish flu, SARS and others, and understand how what we learned then can be so valuable today. Driven by compelling, science-backed narratives, TIME The Science of Epidemics illuminates what medical researchers and doctors in the field are doing to save millions of lives from epidemics.
