If you you are reading this, you and I lived through one of the worst pandemics in American history, and like me, you watched it unfold from the cheap seats. Andy Slavitt was courtside and privy to data and conversations opaque to the rest of us. This book is a memoir of one man's experiences during the pandemic and the lessons that can be learned and applied to the next one. Written in a conversational tone, I can almost picture Andy sitting across the table from me with a steaming mug of coffee telling me his stories from the pandemic. Because of his work in the Obama administration many will label this as a partisan attack on Trump. It is not. True Trump deserves some of the blame but there is blame enough to go around. Read this book with an open mind, the eye of a skeptic, the viewpoint of a fly on the wall and let's all learn how we can better prepare for the next pandemic, because it is coming.
It reads like fiction, and I wish it were
