Recenzje

'Following this slim, concise, accessible, recently updated, and nicely illustrated introduction to the coronavirus may take some effort, but readers are sure to find it well worthwhile … The book concludes with the author's comments on diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of COVID-19 and the role vaccines and the immune system play in confronting this virus … Essential.'
