#1 New York Times bestseller "Barry will teach you almost everything you need to know about one of the deadliest outbreaks in human history."--Bill Gates, GatesNotes.com "Monumental... an authoritative and disturbing morality tale."--Chicago TribuneThe strongest weapon against pandemic is the truth. Read why in the definitive account of the 1918 Flu Epidemic.
Magisterial in its breadth of perspective and depth of research, The Great Influenza provides us with a precise and sobering model as we confront the epidemics looming on our own horizon. As Barry concludes, "The final lesson of 1918, a simple one yet one most difficult to execute, is that...those in authority must retain the public's trust. The way to do that is to distort nothing, to put the best face on nothing, to try to manipulate no one. Lincoln said that first, and best. A leader must make whatever horror exists concrete. Only then will people be able to break it apart." At the height of World War I, history's most lethal influenza virus erupted in an army camp in Kansas, moved east with American troops, then exploded, killing as many as 100 million people worldwide. It killed more people in twenty-four months than AIDS killed in twenty-four years, more in a year than the Black Death killed in a century. But this was not the Middle Ages, and 1918 marked the first collision of science and epidemic disease.

good socks
Number of Items: 6, Color: Red Assorted (6-pairs), Size: Large
I like that they stay on pretty well. also liked the thickness - not too thin / not to thick. also i like that on the inside there are no random threads all over ... i found that to be a problem in similarly priced products from other major brands (and also the cheap options at costco also had that same issue). I've had them a few months and I think they'll last.

Still great! I think they'll easily last me 2-3 yrs! Love how comfy they are. easy to pull on / off. nice colors. highly recommend. I bought some road runner sports socks for almost 5X the price at the same time i got these and while the road runner socks are pretty good for sports (they fit tighter so tend to stay on in active mode), i find these under armour socks much more comfy for daily wear.

Good coverage and size, looks nice and easy to use.
Color: Black, Size: 6 Panel
My son uses this to partially cover his window as he is in a high rise and people can look in. It is tall enough and wide enough to provide reasonable coverage and because it doesn't require putting it together, it is very handy to use immediately. Good value for the dollar and looks nice.
