## Description

Buy The Premonition: A Pandemic Story 1 by Lewis, Michael (ISBN: 9780141996578) from desertcart's Book Store. Everyday low prices and free delivery on eligible orders.

Review: Government, and why they cannot function in a crisis - Michael Lewis has written the most interesting book showing how individuals who wish to do a public good with no interest in either politics or profits can be destroyed by the immovable monolith called Government and the buck passing, back watching people who make it fail. Whilst the pandemic may not have been stoppable, had the interventions described by the pandemic plan been implemented not only in the USA but the World, the death rate and misery would have been seriously reduced, for this the CDC, WHO and not only the US Government but all World Governments who took their lead from the CDC and WHO should hang their heads in shame. It would be unfair to single out Trump, but as the “Leader” of the Free World, had he shown one iota of intelligence, knowing and having access to the reports, he should have reacted more aggressively to get on top of the pandemic, but like Boris Johnson in the U.K., he dithered, he stalled, he played down the pandemic as nothing more than influenza on steroids - the World can only surmise the source of the virus, it certainly looks to have been created via Gain of Function research, but what the World is certain of - the failure to plan and take action has led to a death toll that is still rising, and not only because of C-19 but because medical services treating existing or new medical conditions have been diverted to treat C-19 patients causing a treatment backlog. Thank you Michael Lewis and all the brilliant people mentioned who tried and continue to try to get the message across - this book has been a revelation.
Review: Great, gripping, story.... - Candidly, not one of Michael Lewis' best but that is a very high hurdle to cross. The thread is hard to follow at times, as are the politics. But it is still a very worthwhile, gripping and informative tale

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Government, and why they cannot function in a crisis
*by M***N on 30 August 2021*

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Brilliant and Captivating
*by K***R on 18 May 2021*

The author takes complicated subjects and explains them in ways normal people can understand. In thus case he shows us how a group of people anticipated a major pandemic and planned for it. He also shows us why things didn't work out as planned. From venal politicians to a broken public health system to corporate desire for profit over service, we see why the pandemic took hold in, supposedly, the earliest most advanced country. Thus should be required reading for all. The lesson is that we need to prepare now for the next one. No one knows when it could happen but we know it will. We can't repeat the mistakes again.
