Although it came out in 1994, it is every bit as relevant now (and as scary) as it was then. Do not read it before bedtime.

there are so many things related to CV that aren't verifiable, it was the most terrifying story I have ever read in my life, it was like a Creepy Pasta being sold as nonfiction.

"The Coming Plague," by Laurie Garrett, a Fellow at the Harvard School of Public Health, is a thoroughly and extensively researched volume (at over 740 pages) of investigative science journalism. She interviewed leading international experts in virology, molecular biology, disease ecology, infectious diseases, epidemiology and medicine across four continents. She discusses the conditions that permeate our environment that allow microbes and viruses to mutate and proliferate.

movie and my fellow Americans have not joined me yet, or that I have the horrifying secret no one else knows about.

Dr. Messonnier seems pretty convinced that COVID-19 will appear in the US and dramatically, and we don't have a plan or infrastructure to prevent the spread of the disease and provide necessities.

trying to prove her point that Trump doesn't know how to govern and, naturally, only cares about how this disease will impact his re-election chances.
