I picked this up last night and read it straight through. It was hard to put down. It reads like a first class thriller but documents some of the behind the scenes actions of pandemic responders.
I had read several Michael Lewis books and found him to be an excellent reporter. I read several pandemic related books like Spillover, The Demon in the Freezer, etc before but this was the first I read during one. It gives a different perspective. As I type this now, I am in a public place with a mask on.
The first review, and negative one*, I read of it was this one which, true to form, was hilarious and bizarre. His claims and examples didn’t reflect anything I saw, however, reviews are politicized like everything else these days. Another advantage for contagions.
*I read them first. Usually, they give a better feel for an item but not always. Often they are unintentionally funny.
