The author excelled at explaining the public health crisis across several decades. Based off of interviews, this book reads more like fiction even though it packed with facts; the last half of the book is citations! I reflected on all the parallels with how public health officials handled Covid-19, knowing humans struggle to unite when faced with pathogens.
