Description

Pandemic analyzes America’s response to Covid-19. The book’s last paragraph conveys an accurate feel for the book: “Our last effort, to shut down the entire country in order to realize an uncertain, immeasurable benefit, will appear to historians as the nation's Thelma and Louise moment, a senseless, cold-blooded suicide, no more satisfying as applied to millions of struggling families than it is to two women whose road trip came to a bad end. At least the film characters decided on their own end, something you cannot say for victims of government policy during this pandemic. Someone else drives them over the cliff.”
