Review :
Get the simple things right first. Low-cost public health interventions have the potential to stop this pandemic in its tracks. While these measures may seem like common sense, in fact, they have to be learned. This text is a great place to start that learning. High tech, scientific advances in therapeutics, and vaccines will come. In the meantime, the main things are the plain things, simple day-to-day modifications in lifestyle can stop contagion and save lives. This text details these, with practicalities and rationales for their implementation. -- Dr. John Campbell RN PhD, retired nursing professor, YouTube channel with 737k subscribers What a great game plan to help us navigate through this pandemic. I'll run with this! -- Franco Harris, former NFL player, NFL Hall of Fame member Medical concepts, like Rocket Science, are always hard to translate into understandable and actionable terms. As my fellow epidemiologists-disease detectives-struggle to uncover the secrets of COVID19, Skills offers an approachable blueprint for action that all of us on the planet should heed. An equivalent of a naval aviator or astronaut's checklist for understanding the critical steps necessary to combat COVID. -- Captain J.M. Linenger, Medical Corps, U.S. Navy (ret.)
NASA astronaut/Mir Cosmonaut STS-64, STS-81, Mir 23, STS 84 Physician (MD), Epidemiologist (PhD) and Author of Off the Planet Nicely executed and quite useful. Always hard to translate science/medicine into understandable and actionable terms. Success! -- Jerry Linenger, Capt. USN (ret.), MD, NASA astronaut (STS-64, STS-81, MIR, STS-84) and epidemiologist This book not only gave me the information I needed to understand our role in responding to the pandemic, but it is a practical tool to, "Love your neighbor as you love yourself." I appreciate the expertise and the care that went into this valuable work! -- Rev. Dr. Joel C. Hunter, Faith-based Community Organizer, Retired Pastor, Chairman, Community Resource Network
