The author expertly applies two literary devices in order to cut through COVID Chaos and get to the bottom of this American disaster. In doing so the root cause of America's dismal performance, being thousands of times worse than some countries, becomes oblivious.

       First, Dr. Bates builds an alluring and easy-to-follow historical fiction around the historical facts of the pandemic that clearly exposes the folly the so-called experts have deployed in order to maximize the pandemic by purposely misleading Americans.

       Second, he uses a modern parable, his invention of Coronafire@ to take the mystery out of the spread of the killer disease, making it easily accessible. Through this parable, woven into the historical fiction, the blunders become plain for all to see.
