The Pandemic War
Summary
Can we beat the virus before it kills us? Societies have struggled with pandemics for thousands of years. Plague and cholera, smallpox and influenza; deadly diseases spring up, kill thousands, if not millions, and we still don’t learn. We make the same mistakes again and again. Defeating an infectious agent should not be complicated. The principles of public health are straightforward and have not changed for more than a hundred years. But we are stubborn. Rather than learn from the past, we want to make our own mistakes. So that future generations can make them all over again. There is still time for us to take the well-known steps to crush the novel coronavirus. But will our hubris and politics stand in the way? Will we allow a virus to beat us again?

Zen of Crushing Stress Now!
Summary
We can beat stress, crush it. It is in our hands. What’s going on here? Why are my hands shaking and heart racing? The doc said my blood pressure is up a little. He claims it’s stress. What stress? Me, stressed out? As soon as I get the kids out the door, I’ll jump in my car and drive like crazy to get to my meeting on time. Honk, honk! Why can’t these guys get a move on? I need to reach my office. Could my doc really be right? He’s pretty smart. He says everybody and his cousin is stressed out these days. Even my wife keeps saying I’m all stressed out. And she’s a smart lady. I guess I might be just a touch stressed out. Oh, breakfast? Quick stop at Starbucks, gulp down the coffee, inhale my bagel, and I’m good to go. If I’m late, Jim next door will get the promotion. Can’t let that happen. I promised my wife a new Jaguar for her birthday. If you get on the highway from Boston and head south, you’ll reach Florida. If you don’t want that, you need to change course. If we want to avoid being so stressed out all the time, and we don’t like what chronic stress can do to us, we need to change course.
