COVID Commentaries

After a lifetime spent in science, medicine and pursuing better public health, Dr. William A. Haseltine is once again battling a new and still somewhat unknown disease, COVID-19. His opinions on the course of the pandemic are sought regularly by major broadcast news networks and print media. His COVID-related writing has been published in the Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, Project Syndicate, CNN, Forbes and Psychology Today.


The COVID Commentaries is a collection of Dr. Haseltine's writings, research and interviews on COVID-19. It is a Living eBook, updated regularly with new information on the disease and our response as it unfolds. It is organized into four parts, spread across six volumes. The first part contains his published commentaries and social media posts on the outbreak, providing a quick, spur of the moment glimpse into his thinking day to day. The second section includes his interviews with scientists, economists, parents, grandparents and children that have informed his thinking and understanding of the virus and its disease. The third part provides links to his media interviews and mentions in news articles. The final section is a robust assemblage of links to COVID-related news, medical and scientific research papers, webinars and online resources from other organizations.


Dr. Haseltine's A Family Guide to COVID: Questions & Answers for Parents, Grandparents & Children and his subsequent book, A COVID Back To School Guide: Questions and Answers for Parents and Students, were the first books to be published as Living eBooks. They are updated regularly as more is discovered about the disease and the nature of the outbreak changes. When a reader purchases a copy of the book, either in print or online, you will receive a special passcode that will give you online access to every subsequent edition of the book, as it is released.
