The Premonition: A Pandemic Story by Michael Lewis

5.0

Michael Lewis writes about a 'Dream Team' of sorts that includes geniuses, MDs, epidemiologists, and a doctor who has been preparing for something like this her whole life. It is a brief and intense look into our public health systems (which aren't great), the necessity of taking a pandemic seriously (immediately), and the interplay of a neglected public institution and a terrible president that led to the greatest public health failure in a generation. Excellent book, highly recommend for fans of 2020, pandemics, and modern political books.
