Pandemic! Heart Stops Pounding

Author: Doctor Truong Huu Khanh

Product Description

The heart palpitations pandemic was born in the context that Vietnam is entering the "pre-emergency" phase in the fight against the Covid-19 epidemic, when countless sources of information related to the epidemic, including false information, are attacking the community from the outside, weakening our bodies through the "ideological immune system", creating unnecessary chaos.

Along with official documents and announcements from the government, we also read sad news such as "Poisoning due to taking anti-malarial drugs to prevent Covid-19" or articles about discrimination against Vietnamese people living abroad who return to Vietnam to avoid the epidemic. The Heart Without a Beating Pandemic was published with the hope of providing solid medical knowledge about the Covid-19 epidemic, while helping all Vietnamese people understand the nature of infectious viruses and behaviors related to community epidemiology - useful knowledge even after the epidemic has passed. The special thing about the Heart Without a Beating Pandemic is that this handbook is a medical explanation of community-acquired diseases with the specific case of the Covid-19 virus explained by an infectious disease specialist in a humorous, popular style. Unlike documents that simply provide medical knowledge, this book is an answer to people's questions, coming from a doctor with experience working on infectious diseases. Written from the sharing of a Vietnamese doctor, who has many years of examining and treating Vietnamese people in the context of Vietnam, the book brings Vietnamese readers basic concepts and instructions about the Covid-19 epidemic, what people should do in the current Covid-19 epidemic situation, and what people can do in the coming time when the peak of the epidemic has passed. These shares hope to help people understand better and have a more reasonable attitude when living with the epidemic and countless information about the epidemic.

The book's five chapters and accompanying references correspond to each section of information, ranging from general understanding to medical relevance for each user group - children at school, adults at work, individuals in a common community.
