In summary, Peter Doherty, a Nobel Laureate researcher, postponed his retirement to work on Covid and has released a book, "An Insider's Plague Year," about his experience. The book covers events until February of this year and will be released in August. It took him about 18 months to write and is recommended by Bill, who found out about it from his doctor and saw an interview with Peter about it. Bill will be getting a copy.

Looks like it. It covers until February this year and will be released in August - so 18 months may be a better estimate. I just ordered a copy.

I found out about it today from my doctor. Also, as luck would have it also saw an interview with Peter about it.

Thanks
Bill
