The Premonition

 

The premonition: a pandemic story / Michael Lewis, 319 pgs.

Hmmm, I wonder how this story will end up?  A book by Michael Lewis is always a treat. He can bring the humanity to anything terrible and there is plenty of terrible here.  No, this isn't a big expose of the previous administration or individual failure, it really shines a light on the system that was supposed to work but is set up to fail.  Public health is is the science of protecting and improving the health of people and their communities. There is a system in the U.S. and it is not impressive.  It is poorly designed and poorly funded, and yet there are people out there giving it their all.  The perspective is interesting.  The gaps are wide.  How are we going to fix this?
