2. Wrote the great book

The Coming Plague
I read it years ago and it scared the shit out of me. It's a huge book, but you can't put it down. She is a treasure.

4. The Coming Plague

I want to recommend this excellent book. She wrote it quite a few years ago, but everything she said would happen is happening now. It's written in plain language and yes, it will make your hair stand on end, especially now.
