Untimely reading

A few weeks ago, I read a very interesting book about the 1918 flu pandemic. At about the same time, I also read one about the Black Death, and did quite a lot of online reading about cholera epidemics, typhus on battlefields, and malaria in Britain.

I'm kind of wishing I hadn't done so now.

The media seems to only report the death tolls here, rather than what's under control.
Though the flu seems to be only one of the things people are worried about. The President is out fopping everywhere, leaving others to run things and fix the problems he's causing.
He and his family are "conveniently" out of the country during this flu wave.
