by R. Edgar Hope-Simpson, 1992.
Has anyone read this or is familiar with it? Ivor Cummins was citing this source when talking about how during a pandemic other viruses tend to go dormant. I haven't read it yet so don't know where or if it is in this book.
At any rate, I noticed today people on reddit/r/edmonton were talking about how other respiratory infections (not covid-19) have been doing the rounds for the last month, and if that's true, and the bit about other viruses going dormant during a pandemic is true (which certainly seemed to be the case in this one), it may mean the pandemic is essentially over, which would be exciting.
I should read it. I only have a gazillion other unfinished projects, but it's not that long, only a 257-page pdf. I'm just wondering if anyone has any experience with this book/these concepts.
EDIT: See my longer post down below. I think I figured it out.
