A NATIONAL BESTSELLER<BR> <BR>In this “essential work that provides lasting insights and lessons for the individual and society” (Jerome Groopman, MD, New York Times bestselling author), a young pediatric surgeon and mother reveals her dramatic, cathartic diary, written as she worked on the front lines of the COVID-19 pandemic at one of New York City’s busiest hospitals. <BR><BR>For many of us, the experience of the peak pandemic was eerily incongruous. We were sequestered in our quiet homes but reminded of the devastation by the never-ending ping of news alerts. Dr. Cornelia Griggs’s experience was altogether different. A pediatric surgery fellow in New York City, she was entering the final victory lap at the end of nine grueling years of training. She was set for a big graduation celebration and looking forward to spending some real time with her husband and kids. Then came COVID-19.<BR> <BR>Initially, Griggs encouraged her friends and family not to panic. However, as mysterious cases began showing up in the hospital, and then hospital supplies started disappearing from shelves, she couldn’t hold back the feeling that this was going to be worse than she had thought. She wrote a startling op-ed in The New York Times called “The Sky Is Falling” that went, for lack of a better word, viral. The piece was read by over a million people, and Griggs appeared on CNN.<BR> <BR>Having once aspired to be a journalist, Griggs found that the only way to make sense of what she was witnessing around her and maintain her sanity was to keep a diary. The Sky Was Falling is her day-to-day account of what most of us were grateful to only see in the news—the sharply increasing case numbers, the dwindling supply of respirators, the lack of clarity on how to treat this new disease. Harrowing, deeply personal, and page-turning in the way of the best medical memoirs, it tells the story of healthcare professionals who went beyond what they thought they were capable of to heal their patients, and themselves.

Darüber hinaus werden die unermüdlichen Bemühungen Chinas zur Förderung der globalen Zusammenarbeit im Gesundheitsbereich im Lichte der neuen Corona-Epidemie analysiert.

This is the life-saving handbook of simple home remedies everyone should be aware of in light of COVID-19. Many people have died or are suffering long-term health challenges because they didn't have this information.<BR>Starting with the most impactful, this book takes readers step-by-step through an easy-to-read list of DIY remedies that should be ready to go in every home. Many of these immune-boosting strategies are the same ones that helped some sanitariums to keep mortality rates at just over 1% during the Spanish Flu pandemic of 1918. This track record was especially remarkable considering that most general hospitals suffered mortality rates of closer to 30-40% during that tragic time.<BR>This book is not about vaccinations, masks, supplements, social distancing, or quarantines. Rather, it focuses on the key strategies that, when implemented, will do much to build our personal immune systems. While there are no guarantees in this life, it is up to each of us to do all that we can to bolster our own defenses. In that way, we can be best prepared to fend off future viruses and pathogens that might come our way, bringing them to a speedy and powerful halt.

Includes strategies to improve natural immunity and build inner strength Ever since the SARS-CoV-2 virus appeared in November 2019, the world has been imprisoned in political and medical tyranny. Our constitutional rights were confiscated, unlawful lockdowns were imposed and lives and livelihoods were lost. Logic and reason were trashed and replaced with mandates and madness. Politicians, public health officers and hospital administrators became 'medical experts' while physicians trained to treat patients were gagged and told to follow orders, or lose their jobs. Dissent was labelled as misinformation, conspiracy theory and dangerous lies.COVID-19 is no ordinary pandemic where millions of people drop dead in the street from infection. Instead, a mythical bogyman was released to spread a false narrative and terrorise people with fear. The plan is to usher in a new-world 'utopian' normal. In this updated edition, Margaret Stevenson explains how people have been threatened and coerced to follow a political line. How the global elite are leading us to a dystopian future where humanity will be enslaved and controlled in a matrix of fear. Margaret shows how, with determination and a few strategies, we can break free from this mental prison and design our own future-one of peace, hope, freedom and abundance.
