Aloha to all of you,
I generally don’t send out more than one post a year. I know your time is precious, and the last thing you need is something extra in your inbox. But I wanted to take a moment to say that I hope you, your family, and your friends are getting through these trying times as best any of us can.
The scope of the current pandemic touches everyone on our planet. This pandemic is causing physical trauma to many of us, as well as social and economic stress and peril to so many more.
Most if not all of you follow my website because of the Dreadlow series. And I thank you for your support. But the site is named Mysteries – Real and Imagined. I only have one book currently out in the real category. And I’m not pushing it so this isn’t a pitch.
But if you are interested in understanding infectious diseases I would like to share an item from one of the main sources for my research on the real side of mysteries. It doesn’t have anything to do with crime, but the mysteries of the universe in which we find ourselves.
One of my main sources is the Great Courses. They have courses by top professors from top colleges and universities from around the world on all kinds of subjects. One that you may find interesting at this time is ‘An Introduction to Infectious Diseases’ by Professor Barry c. Fox, M.D. – University of Wisconsin. https://www.thegreatcourses.com/courses/an-introduction-to-infectious-diseases.html
Now the class is few years old now, but the facts are still valid, and it deals with corona viruses that have come before this one so the details are similar. And it did make some predictions. SARS-CoV-2 is new and there is a lot we don’t know about it yet. But it isn’t so new that it should surprise us. It is just the latest one in a family of viruses.
I don’t get a cut from this. And as I send out this post the course is on sale at 70% off. (They often have sales.)
Knowledge is a light revealing any mystery.
I wish you all the best.
Stay safe and keep your distance to help stop the spread.
Julien
