Description

Covid-19 Unmasked: The News, the Science, and Common SenseHow can we keep up with the deluge of information about COVID 19 and tell which parts are most important and trustworthy? We read: "Scientists recommend", "Experts warn", "A new model predicts". How do scientific experts come up with their recommendations? What do their predictions really mean for us, for our friends, and our families? How can we make rational decisions? And how can we have sensible conversations about the pandemic when we disagree?

We read: "Scientists recommend", "Experts warn", "A new model predicts". How do scientific experts come up with their recommendations? What do their predictions really mean for us, for our friends, and our families?

 

How can we make rational decisions? And how can we have sensible conversations about the pandemic when we disagree?

These are the questions that this book is trying to address.

 

It is written in the form of dialogues. Alice, a student of epidemiology, explains the science to three of her fellow students who have a lot of questions for her. The students have the same concerns that we all share to varying degrees: What the pandemic is doing to our health, our economy, and our cherished freedoms. In their conversations, they discover how the science relates to these questions.

 

The book focuses on epidemiology, the science of how infections spread and how the spread can be mitigated. The science of how many infections can be prevented by certain kinds of actions. This is what we need to understand if we want to act wisely, as individuals and as a society.

 

The author's goal is to help the reader think about the COVID-19 pandemic like an epidemiologist. About the various preventive measures, what they are trying to accomplish, what the obstacles are. About what is likely to be most effective in the long run at moderate economic and personal cost. About the likely consequences of personal decisions. About how to best protect oneself and others while allowing all of us to lead lives that are as close as possible to normal.

 

While some chapters present slightly more advanced material than others, no scientific background is needed to follow the conversations. The technical concepts are explained in small steps and the occasional calculations in the book require only high-school mathematics.

Hands down best drink ever!
Flavor Name: Peach Mango, Size: Pack of 12 (8 Fl Oz)
The Peach Mango V8 is genuinely one of my favorite drinks ever. I honestly love these more than coffee or any caffeine drink I get from drive-thrus. I’m not a huge fan of carbonated drinks, so this is absolutely perfect for me. I’m actually the type of person who lets pop go flat before drinking it (yes, I know that’s weird 😂), so having something flavorful without carbonation is amazing. It has the same fruity, energy-drink type flavor that drinks like Bubblr or Alani have, just without the sparkling part. The peach mango flavor is so good and refreshing, and I always keep these stocked at home.

Great combination of veggies and fruits
Flavor Name: Peach Mango, Size: Pack of 6 (8 Fl Oz)
Thanks Amazon for making this drink affordable. I was buying it from Walmart which was pricey. This is my go to drink in the mornings after drinking water. The energy I feel all morning while I am at work. No jittery feeling, I was diagnosed being pre-diabetic. This drink is perfect for me. I get to drink my veggies and fruit.

GREAT GRAPE FLAVORED AND INCREASED ENERGY
Set name: Welch's Grape
I have tried the competitor’s grape flavored versions. This is by far the best grape flavored energy drink. It gives you the increased energy level you’re looking for without making you feel “fidgety.” Highly recommend this energy drink for its effectiveness and flavor!

Green Apple is the best!
Set name: Warheads Sour Green Apple
Love these, I am subscribed for every two weeks, they last me one a day at work until the next shipment. Yay! Green sour apple is just the best. It’s slightly sour and refreshing. I work graveyard and stay awake all night with one of these. Super effective, great value for the money since I’m getting them cheaper this way than buying one a day at the convenience store next to my house. They’re sugar free but use sucralose, which is wannabe sugar but still, I’d say better for me (pre-diabetic) than real sugar.
