Amazon COVID-19 Writers Block

Since my layoff, I've been writing a novel and also my annual children's book; which is my son's Christmas present. Both books are about COVID-19. Today when I went into my Amazon publishing account, I found that my children's book has been blocked. After much difficulty contacting anyone I found that Amazon is blocking all books related to COVID-19. They don't come out and say that anywhere, but I did finally get to speak to someone who verified this.

The children's book features a little boy from Minnesota; and breaks the virus and reactions to it into "pieces" that are easily understood.

It is disappointing that I can't publish, but more disappointing that this gift to my son has been blocked by an unforeseen and unforgiving business decision. -KJC

However, by the time I was done, my interest in technology, from over 10 years as an IT professional, was thoroughly peaked! Definitely off the "beaten path," in a spruce bog in Northern Minnesota, this site boasts an incredible array of scientific equipment that is supported by an amazing technological infrastructure! There are control sites and some of the chambers have added heat, carbon dioxide, or both. A lot of equipment and experimental testing goes on 24/7, 365 days per year. These guys know their stuff. The 10 chambers are connected ...

Measles Outbreak?

The people dying from measles are unvaccinated. This is preventable. Those who are pushing misinformation are participating in the cause of these deaths.
