The global pandemic has forced a curriculum change to understanding the complexity of our modern life. We were auto enrolled in immunology, epidemiology and forecasting lessons that are prerequisites to make sense of therapeutics, vaccines, and virus transmission based on human behavior. This understanding will help us forecast R value infection rates, vaccine timelines, eventual herd immunity and a new date for the family reunion.
The brilliant and talented Atlantic writer Ed Yong provides a ‘must read’ lesson on immunology and COVID-19, The Pandemic’s Biggest Mystery Is Our Own Immune System. Ed is a great explainer. If you like this article, I would strongly recommend you read I Contain Multitudes: The Microbes Within Us and a Grander View of Life. He explains the complexity of science in a fun and easy to read way. It is one of my favorite books.
