I finished reading Immunity Index in 2 days. I was thinking I wonder how the author felt as the world was suffering through a pandemic. Great read; may be a book club read.

Thank you, Sandy! I’m glad you enjoyed the book. I was feeling very mixed about it, although I’m getting better at sorting out my feelings about the book and my feelings about real life.
As for a book club read, I have Zoomed into book clubs at their request. Let me know if there’s a club that would like to chat.
Again, thank you. Stay safe, stay well. By the way, I get my first haircut in 14 months today, and ending-of-covid milestone.
