2. What will we do without

the MMWR (Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report)???

[Ilsa]

3. What do you mean?

That's the report that tells internists, pediatricians, etc, what diseases, especially infectious ones, are increasing and how dangerous they are, with comorbidities and how they can be treated. You see no value in it?

7. Essential reading...

Front to back...

An immeasurable loss if it ceases publication...

[Ilsa]

8. Thank you. I misinterpreted your intention.

I thought you were being sarcastic about the necessity of the MMWR. My bad.

9. Thank you.

5. Maybe someone will conclude that there's no such thing as

Doznes of "disease detectives," and refuse to respond.
