Apollo's Arrow: The Profound and Enduring Impact of Coronavirus on the Way We Live by Nicholas A. Christakis

3.0

After six or so months of fitful reading, I finally did finish this, but felt it’s predictions and conclusions were less on point as the year went on: vaccines arrived in record time and reduced the likelihood of hospitalization and death, but new, more contagious variants and social weariness with NPIs meant that the disease continued to spread seemingly unabated; there was little data on Long Haul haul effects at the time of the book’s publication; etc. information about the initial response to the disease, details of which the author had an inside view, were interesting. A second edition of this book would be worthwhile if it is written with further insights and data gathered over the course of the 18+ months of the pandemic.
