Fortunately we are still a nation of skeptics. Fortunately there are those among us who study pandemics and are willing to look unflinchingly at worst-case scenarios. Michael Lewis's taut and brilliant nonfiction thriller pits a band of medical visionaries against the wall of ignorance that was the official response of the Trump administration to the outbreak of COVID-19. The characters you will meet in these pages are as fascinating as they are unexpected. A thirteen-year-old girl's science project on transmission of an airborne pathogen develops into a very grown-up model of disease control. A local public-health officer uses her worm's-eye view to see what the CDC misses and reveals great truths about American society. A secret team of dissenting doctors nicknamed the Wolverines has everything necessary to fight the pandemic: brilliant backgrounds world-class labs prior experience with the pandemic scares of bird flu and swine flu...everything that is except official permission to implement their work. Michael Lewis is not shy about calling these people heroes for their refusal to follow directives that they know to be based on misinformation and bad science. Even the internet as crucial as it is to their exchange of ideas poses a risk to them. They never know for sure who else might be listening in.
