Nowhere To Hide: U.S. RESPONSE TO COVID-19; A wake-up call for biological terrorists.

by James M. Johnson M., Ernesto J. Johnson (Editor)

Originally, under the alarming title of "Backyard Biological Agents for Recreational Use," this book, born from the tumultuous past years, exposes a chilling reality that the world must confront."Nowhere To Hide" unfolds like a blueprint that any nefarious entity could exploit to wage biological warfare on the U.S., or indeed any nation. With the advent of ever-advancing technology, even the most benign infectious agents can now be transformed into lethal weapons. Simply housed within an aerosol can filled with inert gases, these engineered agents can be unleashed anywhere, anytime.The alarming truth is that terrorist organizations, armed with ample funding, ready access to state-of-the-art technology, and a seemingly endless number of willing foot soldiers, are only a step away from executing such a terrifying plot. Until now, the potential repercussions of such an attack existed solely within the realm of theoretical models. That is, until COVID-19.The pandemic has demonstrated the shocking power of biological weapons, revealing their potential to wreak havoc on a scale that eclipses even nuclear or conventional weaponry. For a shockingly low investment, the social and economic fabric of the most advanced nations can be brought to its knees. The world has witnessed the devastation caused by a rogue microorganism, and it serves as a dire warning for the age of biological warfare that could lie ahead.An unsettling study by the intelligence community reveals that the price per life lost could be a mere $0.39. A sobering reality, a disturbing valuation of human life, and a stark wake-up call for all of us."Nowhere To Hide" is a critical examination of our present reality and a call to action for the future. It asks us to understand and prepare for the unthinkable, for in this new world, there is truly nowhere to hide.
