{"product_id":"9780991215485","title":"Meltdown And Other Covid Stories","description":"Who better to write about the Covid pandemic than a retired physician, a prime target for the deadly virus? Dr. David Margolis wrote these tales during the worst time of the pandemic, cooped up in a house with only his imagination as a guest. He has produced a remarkable collection of stories, combining sadness and loss with medical knowledge and distinctive humor The protagonist of the first story is a superstitious old woman who believes that Covid was sent by the devil and who can prove that it wasn't? We read about a muddled septuagenarian whose imaginary friend from childhood replaces his dead wife. There's an autobiographical sketch written by the virus itself, a play by play description concerning the invasion of Dave's nose. There's a sad dog with large hairy ears who waits for his master to return after he's taken away on a stretcher. We encounter a klatch of washed-up Gods sipping coffee in the heavens, who kvetch about irreverent humans and are delighted that the Covid has come. There's a misogynist sinner whose ashes are taken to a rundown cemetery and dumped in a cluster of weeds. The final story, Meltdown, is a dystopian tale about a super virulent Covid virus that kills most of the Earth's population, leaving only a few desperate humans to argue amongst themselves.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eAuthor: \u003c\/b\u003eDavid Margolis\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/b\u003eUranus Publishing Company Llc\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/b\u003eJun 16, 2023\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eNumber of Pages: \u003c\/b\u003e174 pages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eLanguage: \u003c\/b\u003eEnglish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eBinding: \u003c\/b\u003ePaperback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eISBN-10: \u003c\/b\u003e0991215486\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/b\u003e9780991215485\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Uranus Publishing Company Llc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47670365552945,"sku":"9780991215485","price":17.36,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0798\/8215\/8385\/products\/9780991215485.jpg?v=1698560542","url":"https:\/\/www.recomparo.com\/products\/9780991215485","provider":"ReComparo.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
