Book excerpt: A milieu in which citizens can freely examine information distinguishes a democracy from a fascist society that seeks to control and oppress knowledge.Society's ability to rid itself of COVID-19 has been prevented by groups that seek to repress information because they apparently view the pandemic to be in their interest.The stated official origin of COVID-19-that it was spontaneously generated from nature-is a myth that is being proselytized in a disinformation steamroll against freedom of information and critical thought.Investigative journalist Peter Tremblay suggests that COVID-19 is essentially a weapon of mass destruction (WMD) unleashed against humanity because of ideological goals.COVID-19 was spawned from the minds of evil men who seek to depopulate our planet Earth and pursue unlimited control over the remainder of a population that will no longer be the "humans" we are presently.

Book excerpt: "Pete's Pandemic" is all of our stories yet none of our stories. It is one man's attempt to understand the new reality caused by the coronavirus. We all have had to come to terms with very different lives. This is Jimmy Tolmie's attempt to manage his stress through humour, reflection, philosophy, reminiscence and current events. At times self-conscious, periodically stream-of-consciousness, occasionally controversial, Jimmy has struggled to find a way out of his stress through the medium of daily writings to friends. His book reflects 100 days of quarantine and then lockdown. It is an attempt to find common ground, to emerge on the other side with ethics and equanimity intact. It is hoped that the reader will find some point of contact between his or her own perspectives and those of the writer.

Download or read book Coronavirus and Disease Modeling written by Peter C. Earle and published by American Institute for Economic Research. This book was released on 2020-08-21 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We shut down our schools, sports, theaters, bars, restaurants, and churches—government ignored the rule of law and put individual rights on hold—but it is more than obvious now that this was all a huge distraction. The focus should have been on the aged with underlying conditions living in nursing homes. The models nowhere included what ended up being our reality, even though that reality was upon us as early as February when people in nursing homes began to die in Washington State. We should have seen it long before the lockdowns began. Now the modelers in the epidemiological profession need to learn what the economists figured out long ago: Human life is too complex to be accurately modeled, much less predicted.

Download or read book Poverty and the Impact of COVID 19 written by Peter J. Hotez and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 101 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "While COVID-19 has ravaged global economies and changed the way of life for us all, the disease has a disproportionately devastating impact on poorer communities. For the millions without a job because of community shut downs, decisions about basic necessities and the fear of healthcare costs for those diagnosed with the novel coronavirus become critical. In these uncertain times, international diplomacy, solidarity, and cooperation are vital. Dr. Peter Hotez, dean of the National School of Tropical Medicine at Baylor College of Medicine, provides an essential look at the global issue of health and poverty through the lens of COVID-19. He introduces a new global paradigm known as 'blue marble health,' through which he asserts that poor people living in wealthy countries account for most of the world's poverty-related illness. He explores the current state of neglected diseases in both China and the United States. By crafting public policy and relying on global partnerships to control or eliminate some of the world's worst poverty-related illnesses, Hotez believes, it is possible to eliminate life-threatening disease while at the same time creating unprecedented opportunities for science and diplomacy. Urgent, timely, and compassionate, this excerpted edition of Hotez's wide-sweeping Blue Marble Health serves as a timely guide for anyone committed to helping the millions of people who are facing the visceral threats of both poverty and COVID-19."--

Download or read book The Devil s Flu written by Pete Davies and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 2000-10-15 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1918, the Spanish flu killed up to 40 million people across the planet. From the remotest villages in Arctic climates to crowded U.S. cities to the battlefields of Europe, there were plague houses in which whole families lay sick or dead. In Madras, train services stopped running, as one-third of its workforce fell ill. In Calcutta, the postal service and the legal system ground to a halt. And in the United States, it killed more Americans than all the wars fought in the twentieth century put together. The disease did not discriminate. It took whom it pleased -- rich or poor, distinguished or humble, hungry or well nourished, healthy or infirm. It was a flu unlike any that the world had encountered before or that has come along since.

Download or read book The Amateur Hour written by Jonathan Zimmerman and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2020-10-27 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first full-length history of college teaching in the United States from the nineteenth century to the present, this book sheds new light on the ongoing tension between the modern scholarly ideal—scientific, objective, and dispassionate—and the inevitably subjective nature of day-to-day instruction. American college teaching is in crisis, or so we are told. But we've heard that complaint for the past 150 years, as critics have denounced the poor quality of instruction in undergraduate classrooms. Students daydream in gigantic lecture halls while a professor drones on, or they meet with a teaching assistant for an hour of aimless discussion. The modern university does not reward teaching, so faculty members at every level neglect it in favor of research and publication. In the first book-length history of American college teaching, Jonathan Zimmerman confirms but also contradicts these perennial complaints. Drawing upon a wide range of previously unexamined sources, The Amateur Hour shows how generations of undergraduates indicted the weak instruction they received. But Zimmerman also chronicles institutional efforts to improve it, especially by making teaching more "personal." As higher education grew into a gigantic industry, he writes, American colleges and universities introduced small-group activities and other reforms designed to counter the anonymity of mass instruction. They also experimented with new technologies like television and computers, which promised to "personalize" teaching by tailoring it to the individual interests and abilities of each student. But, Zimmerman reveals, the emphasis on the personal inhibited the professionalization of college teaching, which remains, ultimately, an amateur enterprise. The more that Americans treated teaching as a highly personal endeavor, dependent on the idiosyncrasies of the instructor, the less they could develop shared standards for it. Nor have they rigorously documented college instruction, a highly public activity which has taken place mostly in private. Pushing open the classroom door, The Amateur Hour illuminates American college teaching and frames a fresh case for restoring intimate learning communities, especially for America's least privileged students. Anyone who wants to change college teaching will have to start here.

Book excerpt: Nobody is coming to help, it's up to us. That was the mindset of New York's county leaders, who within a couple of hours of a declared state of emergency, became the onsite incident commanders charged with protecting the lives and the health of families, friends, neighbors, and residents through the deadliest public health crisis in a century. The COVID-19 pandemic took the life of over 50,000 New Yorkers in a year. These were their darkest hours, and here are their stories of leadership in the face of the chaotic and disjointed response from the state and federal government. Our Darkest Hours provides a glimpse into the fear, struggle, triumph, and pain as leaders worked to protect people's lives and livelihoods.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner, CODE’s 2016 Burt Award for First Nation, Inuit and Métis Literature In this important graphic novel, two brothers surrounded by poverty, drug abuse, and gang violence, try to overcome centuries of historic trauma in very different ways to bring about positive change in their lives. Pete, a young Indigenous man wrapped up in gang violence, lives with his younger brother, Joey, and his mother who is a heroin addict. One night, Pete and his mother’s boyfriend, Dennis, get into a big fight, which sends Dennis to the morgue and Pete to jail. Initially, Pete keeps up ties to his crew, until a jail brawl forces him to realize the negative influence he has become on Joey, which encourages him to begin a process of rehabilitation that includes traditional Indigenous healing circles and ceremonies. Powerful, courageous, and deeply moving, The Outside Circle is drawn from the author’s twenty years of work and research on healing and reconciliation of gang-affiliated or incarcerated Indigenous men.
