The Premonition: A Pandemic Story by Michael Lewis

5.0

This should be required reading for all Americans. It was so frustrating at times I wanted to scream. Our polarized political climate from Reagan on, has caught up career civil servants in its wake and ensured that our government is populated by lackeys and yes men. At least at its most senior, decision making levels. One would hope that Covid would be a reckoning for this kind of bullshit but unfortunately this book doesn't really end on an optimistic note. With that said it's not an entirely depressing read and there are some inspiring people showcased in this book. Also Michael Lewis is outstanding as always in telling their stories.
