Series: Covid-19 Pandemic in Ravalli County Montana, the United States, and the World

PREMIUM EDITION, Premium Color.

The reader is pulled through the heart of the COVID-19 pandemic as real people make decisions, discuss, argue, and engage public officials, all the while weaving in the principles and practice of Public Health in full measure - science, epidemiology, public policy, public reaction to public policy, the news and social media impact, economic initiatives, and raw politics.

The setting, Ravalli County, is the right place, where the author lives, where Yellowstone is filmed, home of a BSL-4 lab, a place that voted 67% for Trump, not 90% - there are liberals. Home of a militia uprising a couple of decades ago, a place famous for forest and wildlands controversy. We'll meet the County Health Board, the Health Officer, a doctor who works at the hospital, the Public Health Director, a nurse who grew up here, the founders of Stand Together for Freedom, who pinned up posters that said ""Freedom Meeting,"" research scientists, alternative health advocates, anti-vaxers, liberals, conservatives, high school students who organize a Black Lives Matter protest, and business owners caught in the middle, arguing it out in Health Board meetings and on the streets.

As the story unfolds, the reader is shown the best-of-the-best worldwide, why it works, and how it could be applied to America.

The Premium Edition includes bonus content plus the citations for this volume (which for the paperback and full series is at: https: //www.jamesrolsen.com/covid-wars-references). Bonus content is a detailed critique of the CDC Science Brief on Cloth masks and ""The Nature of the Data,"" the detailed discussion on what things like COVID Cases really mean and don't mean.

First is a series, 1) COVID WARS available now, 2) VAX WARS, coming in September, 3) How To Do Pandemics Better, coming by Christmas.
