Subject: Re: [Oe List ...] Join us to study TEN LESSONS FOR A POST-PANDEMIC WORLD by Fareed Zakaria
I will be there

Excerpt from the attached review: "Oh, no, not a book about the pandemic
just a few months into Covid-19. Not another series of snapshots
overtaken by tomorrow’s events. Fareed
Zakaria, a
CNN host with a Ph.D. from Harvard, does not fall into this trap.
Wisely, he stays away from the daily
battles over masks and lockdowns. Nor is doom-mongering his business.
Instead “Ten Lessons for a Post-Pandemic World” employs a wide
lens, drawing on governance, economics and culture. Call it “applied
history.” What insights does it offer during a catastrophe that
evokes the Spanish flu after World War I, which claimed 50 million —
some reckon 100 million — lives?"
We are planning to start January 4 at 7-8 pm Central Standard Time (Chicago time) We will probably use Zoom as a way to connect.
Send word if you are interested.

The
unknown is what is. And to be frightened of it is what sends everybody
scurrying around chasing dreams, illusions, wars, peace, love, hate, all
that. Unknown is what is. Accept that it's unknown, and it's plain
sailing. John Lennon
