by Nicholas A. Christakis
Publication Date - October 27, 2020
I have to admit that I was very nervous about reading this book. First of all, it seems a little too soon to have a book published about Covid-19 and secondly, I am dealing with some fragile emotions involved with sending my kids back to school so I wasn't sure this book would be necessarily soothing. Fortunately, this wasn't an entirely gloom and doom book about the current pandemic. Instead it looked at the origins of the virus (which is helpful, since it seems like it started decades ago) and at past pandemics for comparison. It also discusses infection rates, different treatment trials, vaccine opportunities and how it may end. After reading this book, written by a physician and public health expert, I feel like I have a better understanding of Covid-19 and how this may all play out in the end and how to face it until it does end. I received a digital ARC through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
