Opis i karakteristike
'Excellent . . . analyses clearly and authoritatively how the coronavirus pandemic played out, what governments should have done, and what we need to do when it happens again as it undoubtedly will' Financial Times
'You could not hope for a better guide to the pandemic world order than Debora MacKenzie, who's been on this story from the start. This is an authoritative yet readable explanation of how this catastrophe happened and more important, how it will happen again if we don't change' Tim Harford, author of The Undercover Economist, Adapt and Messy
'This definitely deserves a read the first of the post mortems by a writer who knows what she's talking about'
Laura Spinney, author of Pale Rider: The Spanish Flu of 1918 and How It Changed the World
In a gripping, accessible narrative, a veteran science journalist lays out the shocking story of how the COVID19 coronavirus pandemic happened and how to make sure this never happens again
Over the last 30 years of epidemics and pandemics, we learned every lesson needed to stop this coronavirus outbreak in its tracks. We heeded almost none of them. The result is a pandemic on a scale never before seen in our lifetimes. In this captivating, authoritative, and eyeopening book, science journalist Debora MacKenzie lays out the full story of how and why it happened: the previous viruses that should have prepared us, the shocking public health failures that paved the way, the failure to contain the outbreak, and most importantly, what we must do to prevent future pandemics.
Debora MacKenzie has been reporting on emerging diseases for more than three decades, and she draws on that experience to explain how COVID19 went from a potentially manageable outbreak to a global pandemic. Offering a compelling history of the most significant recent outbreaks, including SARS, MERS, H1N1, Zika, and Ebola, she gives a crash course in Epidemiology 101how viruses spread and how pandemics endand outlines the lessons we failed to learn from each past crisis. In vivid detail, she takes us through the arrival and spread of COVID19, making clear the steps that governments knew they could have taken to prevent or at least prepare for this. Looking forward, MacKenzie makes a bold, optimistic argument: this pandemic might finally galvanize the world to take viruses seriously. Fighting this pandemic and preventing the next one will take political action of all kinds, globally, from governments, the scientific community, and individualsbut it is possible.
No one has yet brought together our knowledge of COVID19 in a comprehensive, informative, and accessible way. But that story can already be told, and Debora MacKenzie's urgent telling is required reading for these times and beyond. It is too early to say where the COVID19 pandemic will go, but it is past time to talk about what went wrong and how we can do better.
