Great Knowledge of COVID 19 Dr. Farah Fourcand’s book, PANDEMIC MANIFESTO, is a well organized, thoroughly researched account of COVID 19, and certainly a five star read. She covers every aspect of the disease including treatment drugs, testing, status of vaccines, successful treatments, and not so successful treatments. Dr. Fourcand advises the reader to (page 5): Read in order from cover to cover Read slowly and deliberately Be patient. Trust me. I understand your frustrations This is sound advice. PANDEMIC MANIFESTO is not an easy read because it contains so much information. But after finishing this book, I am much more educated about COVID 19. It was well worth the read.
I recommend this book !!!! This book grabbed me from the beginning - reading like a thriller - drama, emotions, urgent actions, life and death decisions. Because of COVID I’ve learned more than I ever imagined I would/could learn about epidemiology, medicine, public health protocols and more. This book helps me put that crush of information into a usable framework. For example - There is something called the Pyramid of Evidence - WOW - being able to visualize this makes all the difference in the world to me! Doctor Fourcand has a way of saying things that I can put into a framework that I (as a civilian) can more easily remember and use. For example - “There are 2 types of B cells. Some are antibody factories (plasma cells) and other are experienced first responders (memory cells) that remember the plan of attack if ….” I love this style of writing -- it doesn’t talk down to me and more assuredly doesn’t “dumb” anything down - this book helps me make better use of the information. I'm reading on kindle unlimited and would recommend this to anyone!
