Re: 2MartiniGi #90017
Had to go back to second 2MartiniGi's book recommendation.
Also..."I highly recommend Michael Lewis' "The Premonition: A Pandemic Story". "
The scientists, doctors, data gatherers working behind the scenes saved a lot of lives, while the admin spun tires. The CDC particularly, being led by a presidential appointee since Reagan, cherishes it's own reputation as expert to the point that 'risk' is frowned upon. No one takes chances. The CDC reports. They publish papers after the dust has settled. How can you do that in a pandemic You need to LEAD - cheese and Rice! They do not discover and decide. They lead from the back, afraid to predict anything. Total mess. Sub in the FDA, and this board could have written the book.
Fascinating read. Very approachable book. Two martinis a day over a weekend and you'll be done.
