Book excerpt: This book's purpose is to provide the readers with autonomy, giving them the knowledge that even in the face of multiple health threats, individuals can play a major role their own destiny. It teaches how to build an additional wall to lessen the likelihood of a severe outcome if exposed to Covid-19. Beyond those things they are doing to protect themselves from exposure, and to accepting immunization, it describes the additional step of improving the chances of surviving infection. Age and race are statistical risk factors for worse outcomes and death, yet are beyond people's control, which only leads to learned helplessness and frustration. This underlying risk is neither age nor race itself, but health issues associated with age and race, which are measurable and reversible! The reader can start with self-assessment and begin to change now. In addition to a better defense against Covid-19, making changes will protect them from other chronic diseases in the future.
