words, words, words

I’ve not made a list of articles/books/videos that I’ve read or watched during this time, but I’m starting now. Just finished The Great Influenza by John M. Barry. Here’s what he had to say about our current situation.

That brings us back to the most important lesson of 1918, one that all the working groups on pandemic planning agreed upon: Tell the truth. That instruction is built into the federal pandemic preparedness plans and the plan for every state and territory.

I imported my previous blog -isaiah408.blogspot.com so everything would be here, but I also created pdfs of some other blogs that I then deleted.

I think I had wake3d at another domain before this one and failed to import it or something. I’m going to search the wayback machine to see what I can find.
