On Viruses and Covid-19

[[[MAJOR UPDATE EDIT on 12/31/20: Since the publication date of this post, I have continued to refine my paper on Covid and have also shortened it considerably now that most of the educational part of the original paper is no longer needed. I have also created my own website and moved the paper there. Please click HERE to download and read it. I have left most of the text of the original post below to give a sense of what the original version of the book was like, taking out only material that would have been confusing to edit or that no longer applies.]]]

A few days ago several people in our community asked me in the comments area if I could write up my thoughts on how to treat the Covid-19 disease. I had already written a small book on the subject, which I have distributed to several family members and friends over the past few weeks. I admit I had not seriously considered making it publicly available. I must admit I feel a bit of trepidation taking this step to publish to a much larger audience.

In contemplating preparing the book for publication on this website, I realized that I wanted to rewrite it because I had learned enough to be able to recast my book in a more positive way. This is a scary subject, but I believe that much good is ultimately going to come of this current challenge.

The book clocks in at about 70 pages, so it may seem intimidating. However, I believe it covers a lot of ground in a way you will find both engaging and relatively easy to understand.

When people asked me if I would post something, I asked Charlie if he would be OK with me publishing this book on his web site. I thank him deeply for his reply, which was positive and profoundly generous.

[[[Replacement Paragraph]]] I have provided in the Sidebar the link you can use, if desired, to download my book to your computer. To find the book in the Sidebar, click on the “Menu” button in the upper right corner, then scroll down to the “BOOKS” section. Look for the “On Viruses and Covid19 (StevesFrontPorch.com)” link and click that link to go to my website page, read the introduction, and download the PDF file from there. To go to my website page directly and download the most recent version of my report, please click HERE. Thank you!

May this book bring both clarity and optimism to all who read it.
