This powerful report on what went wrong—and right—with America’s COVID response, from a team of 34 experts, shows how Americans faced the worst peacetime catastrophe of modern times
Our national leaders have drifted into treating the pandemic as though it were an unavoidable natural catastrophe, repeating a depressing cycle of panic followed by neglect. So a remarkable group of practitioners and scholars from many backgrounds came together determined to discover and learn lessons from this latest world war.
Lessons from the COVID War is plain-spoken and clear sighted. It cuts through the enormous jumble of information to make some sense of it all and answer: What just happened to us, and why? And crucially, how, next time, could we do better? Because there will be a next time.
The COVID war showed Americans that their wondrous scientific knowledge had run far ahead of their organized ability to apply it in practice. Improvising to fight this war, many Americans displayed ingenuity and dedication. But they struggled with systems that made success difficult and failure easy.
This book shows how Americans can come together, learn hard truths, build on what worked, and prepare for global emergencies to come.

EXCELLENT book!

It is well worth the time, but much, much, more research and perspective will be needed to even begin to understand what happened and how we should prepare for the next pandemic.
This is more than a bit dry, but contains a lot of early perspective into the the US response to the COVID pandemic.
When I got to the end, I felt it was far less than what I needed, but what I want will likely take years of perspective, research, and analysis. Still, if you are interested in an early analysis of the successes and failures of the US COVID response this is a place to start.
The PDF has all the footnotes and a description of the team of authors.
There was nothing wrong with the narration.
