Author Michael Lewis looks at people that researched responses to pandemics in past and wrote a book on it that started under Bush then Obama and then ignored by Trump. A really interesting read about various people and their contributions to this and then the early response to the pandemic. The book was published in 2021 so still while the pandemic was going on so don't have a longer view of the response but just the early response. Really opened my eyes to the CDC as more of a research group than anyone to turn to in how to handle an emergency. A really good read, will be one that I hand off to friends for their reading as well.
It is one will hand off to friends at this point, if I get it back will probably post on PBS then. I think the WL is in the 50s right now.
