The Premonition A Pandemic Story by Michael Lewis

نویسنده: Michael Lewis

For those who could read between the lines, the censored news out of China was terrifying. But the president insisted there was nothing to worry about.

Fortunately, we are still a nation of skeptics. Fortunately, there are those among us who study pandemics and are willing to look unflinchingly at worst-case scenarios. Michael Lewis’s taut and brilliant nonfiction thriller pits a band of medical visionaries against the wall of ignorance that was the official response of the Trump administration to the outbreak of COVID-19.

Goodreads users review :

This is a book about scientists and public health officials who rely on trained intuition. In a system ill-equipped to act nimbly in a pandemic landscape, they are the people that speak to what needs to be done now, not in a month or more when there are more cases and deaths. These characters are the system disrupters of public health in America. You may not agree with all of their conclusions and actions, but this is the best book Lewis has written in years. A fantastic narrative nonfiction that I highly recommend. Brian                                                                                                      rated it: 5.0 from 5.0

I was sure I would never want to read a book about this pandemic. But I was wrong! This is mostly about the nerds and outsiders who saw it coming and sounded the alarm, and how the system failed. Could have read 500 more pages of this. Emma                                                                                                    rated it: 5.0 from 5.0

Looking forward to that 800 page book on the stapler. Lewis is simply one of our best non-fiction writers alive, and his mastery of character and story are once again in full effect. It’s an important book, too, one that asks the public how far we’re willing to go to ensure massive pandemics like covid-19 or smaller outbreaks of things like hepatitis won’t happen again.
