Author Peter Christian Hall("American Fever: A Tale of Romance & Pestilence") will discuss the Covid-19 coronavirus that imperils us. 

Hall, a New York writer and editor, will discuss America's dismal failure to prepare and will address what we—and the government—can do to endure this crisis. 

Hall has published in the New York Times, Rolling Stone, Mother Jones, Reuters, the Columbia Journalism Review, and many other publications and sites.

"American Fever" tells of an East Village blogger who fights a flu pandemic that rocks America and unleashes chaos and national repression, even as his personal life explodes with promise. One critic called it "the 'Moby-Dick' of flu novels."
