Deadliest Enemy: Our War Against Killer Germs by Michael T. Osterholm, Mark Olshaker
4.0
“Like Abraham Lincoln, I am a firm believer in the people. If given the truth, they can be depended upon to meet any national crisis. The great point is to bring them the real facts.”
If only we had heeded the cries from epidemiologists years ago, we might not find ourselves in the current COVID-19 situation. If only we had leaders that brought us real facts, we could better deal with that situation. But we didn't heed the warnings, we are forced to search out the facts ourselves, and Michael Osterholm is a person that can provide them. He has been accused of being arrogant, but when you can back up your statements with facts, I call that telling the hard truths, not arrogance. There is no way to sugar coat Zika, Ebola, SARS, MERS, and Coronavirus, and Deadliest Enemy (and Osterholm's podcasts https://www.cidrap.umn.edu/covid-19/podcasts-webinars) will provide you with the unvarnished truth.
