DJP Update 3-20-2020 A good video featuring Erica Saphire, PhD on the pandemic: Terminology: SARS-CoV-2 is the virus, COVID-19 is the disease, frequently displayed as “Coronavirus Disease 2019”; LAGNIAPPE
1- Dr Erica Saphire is worth watching on YouTube. Good graphics too with her presentation. Thanks and a tip of the hat to my friend Raymond French who alerted me to this video.
Here is the video featuring Dr. Erica Saphire: https://youtu.be/hUutyT8fOWI
Also pay attention to pronouncements on the news by Dr. Deborah Birx, Response Coordinator for White House Coronavirus Task Force. Her past accomplishments include being Director of Walter Reed HIV Research Program. She doesn’t need any advice in my new book on public speaking. She presents the facts clearly and effectively.
Skip the rumors on social media and pay attention to these brilliant women. And let’s hope that those politicians who focus on “shame and blame” will stop doing that and focus on root causes, prevention, and cure. We are Americans, not enemy combatants. Let’s work together.
LAGNIAPPE:
2- Another accomplished woman in a different sphere is the pediatric surgeon, artist, and author of books, Dr. Susan Adelman. Some of you know Susan and her husband Marty, Professor of Intellectual Property and Technology Law at George Washington University School of Law, from Susan’s tour of duty on the AMA Board.
Here is a nice article about Susan: https://thejewishnews.com/2019/10/31/susan-adelman-makes-her-mark/
And here is a link to her 2nd book, AFTER SATURDAY COMES SUNDAY, published in 2018.

3- The current pandemic affects all of us in many ways. Thanks to all of the nurses, doctors, and first responders currently on the front lines as we witness medicine in a time of a pandemic.
A minor frustration is having a new book get published in the midst of the pandemic. TV shows and book signings to discuss the book are cancelled. That is what is happening to my new book debut on April 7. This week’s interview at WWLTV in New Orleans is one example of a cancellation. Thus, time to get creative. I am going to set up a “recording” studio at my home so that I can do radio and TV shows live from home. Will use high tech camera and microphones. My wonderful nephew, Dr. Michael Brown, that many of you know from my AMA Inauguration in 2003 when he sang during the inauguration with the 3 terrific backup singers, all women from local, state and national medical and Alliance groups, is a talented musician and a great resource for me. He produced the 8 videos about my new book, A LEADER’S GUIDE TO GIVING A MEMORABLE SPEECH. The short videos can be viewed from the website featuring the new book:

Also, I joined Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn to add to my social media presence of Twitter (on Twitter since 2009). I hope to get the word out on social media about the new book to overcome the impediments of the pandemic!
Any help you can give for the marketing of the book will be appreciated greatly. Makes a nice gift for helping the kids learn the secrets of public speaking as well as a graduation gift in addition to improving the speeches of medical leaders and other business folks. Leadership requires excellent communication.
