LE MONDE
About this episode
Il y a seulement 52 ans, la grippe de Hongkong causée par un virus H3N2 partait de Chine centrale pour se propager à travers la planète. Le bilan est terrible : plus d’un million de morts dans le monde dont 30 000 à 35 000 en France.

Raphaëlle Rerolle, grande reporter au Monde nous raconte cette épidémie oubliée dans Pandémie, le podcast du Monde consacrée à la crise du coronavirus.
