![]() It has been rather surreal, living through two pandemics at once, the historical one in my head and the present one all around me. We have far less of an excuse for letting bad politicians in certain countries allow it to run wild this time.Īnd yet, it must have felt a little surreal? But also I’m so grateful that scientists know a lot more about what this virus is, how not to catch it and how to treat it than they did back in 1918 when they didn’t even known what a virus was and didn’t have our ventilators, dialysis machines, steroids and antibiotics. Having just written a Great Flu novel, I certainly took COVID-19 seriously from early March and I’m our family’s “have you got your masks?” nag.

As an intellectual powerhouse of two, however, they shared the same basic worldview. Rose’s opinion was Milton’s ultimate test. Milton listened carefully to her sometimes contrary views and in fact eagerly sought them. ![]() All along the nearly 70 years of their marriage (I knew them over the last 25 years), one would not have a serious discussion with Milton unless Rose, too, was present, ready to support or contradict his arguments.
