One of the most demanding books I have ever written has also received the least attention ever. Why? Check out the endorsements and the reviews - what do you make of them? kampourakis.com/turning-points/

Per BPR, "disaster roaming" has been activated for cell phones in the region. So if the phone has a charge, and if there is any functional tower from any cell company nearby, they can communicate.🧵 www.bpr.org/live-updates...

If you also have family you can't communicate with in Asheville NC, the local NPR station has good updates here. Notably, a request to please not call 911 about your relatives' status, they don't know and it blocks actual emergency calls. 🧵 www.bpr.org/live-updates...

What might below say about transmission potential? If (still a big if) this is a transmission cluster, then we now have 14 reported spillover cases (i.e. single human cases unrelated to others) and one possible cluster of 9 (i.e. unknown source case + patient + 7 suspected onwards cases)....

If you research fluid dynamics, you might pay extra attention to the iconic swirls in the sky in Vincent Van Gogh’s painting “The Starry Night.” Dr. Francois Schmitt joins us to talk about the hidden physics in this famous painting.
