Deadliest Enemy: Our War Against Killer Germs by Michael T. Osterholm, Mark Olshaker

This book was praised as “a wake-up call’ when it was published in 2017, yet cuts to pandemic preparedness budgets nevertheless continued, as is painfully clear today. The authors pose a hypothetical pandemic crisis description that is scarily prescient of our own situation. A compelling listen / read on understanding the impact and implications of infectious disease on a global scale. Osterholm was recently interviewed on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast (March 10 episode).Goodreads details: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/30842808-deadliest-enemyEpisode music: Caprese by Blue Dot Sessions (www.sessions.blue).
