Safe as Houses

This book examines the notion of the home in the context of the pandemic and lockdown, as they relate to environmental concerns and how we live with viruses and bacteria. It argues that, in order to decrease our vulnerability to infective agents, we need to acknowledge the link between people, space, daily routines, and microbes and explore how the predominantly benign microbial world might be harnessed to combat and boost out immunity to future pathogens.
