I recently read an excellent essay by Dr. David Wiebers , Emeritus Professor of Neurology and Consultant Emeritus in Neurology and Health Sciences Research/Epidemiology at Mayo Clinic, and Dr. Valery Feigin , Professor of Neurology and Epidemiology and Director of Auckland University of Technology's National Institute for Stroke and Applied Neuroscience, titled "What the COVID-19 Crisis Is Telling Humanity. " It was first published in the prestigious journal Neuroepidemiology and reprinted with some additional text and commentaries in Animal Sentience.

"What the COVID-19 Crisis Is Telling Humanity" is a very concise and easy-to-read, detailed summary of the ongoing global COVID-19 pandemic, and I'm pleased that Dr. Wiebers could take the time to answer a few questions about this landmark essay.
