Abstract
America thought COVID was the problem. But the real crisis was hiding in plain sight: our health. Obesity, diabetes, and heart disease turned a pandemic into a catastrophe — and history shows we should have seen it coming. From the forgotten lessons of the 1918 Spanish Flu to the ignored warning signs before COVID, HealthDemic reveals how a sick nation fueled its own downfall — and why the next pandemic could be even worse.
