The Premonition: A Pandemic Story by Michael Lewis

informative

---

Michael Lewis combines strong journalism and authorship in this hard-hitting piece on the United States' glaringly inadequate response to the COVID-19 pandemic. This book reveals how shockingly inept the CDC was in a crisis, having been bred into a culture of political obsequiousness. It also highlights how individuals like Charity Dean and Carter Mecher single-handedly moved mountains to counterbalance the inaction of the federal government. It's really true that 10% of people do 90% of the work.
