Preparing for the Inevitable
Why COVID-19 Crushed Us and How We Can Defeat the Next Pandemic
"Preparing for the Inevitable" is an essential guide to how the US can prepare for future pandemics by learning from the mistakes made during the Covid-19 outbreak. Based on his experience as former FDA commissioner, Scott Gottlieb identifies key factors that hindered the US response to the pandemic, such as outdated plans and tools, lack of private sector involvement in manufacturing, and downplaying the threat. Gottlieb warns that without corrective action, the virus will continue to spread, impacting both public health and the distribution of a vaccine. "Preparing for the Inevitable" is a hard-hitting and informative inside account of a preventable failure in American history.

Preventable
The Inside Story of How Leadership Failures, Politics, and Selfishness Doomed the U.S. Coronavirus Response
"Preventable" is a must-read for anyone looking to gain an inside look at the U.S. Coronavirus crisis. Andy Slavitt, former Biden Senior Advisor, offers an unflinching investigation of the cultural, political, and economic drivers that led to unnecessary loss of life. With unparalleled access to key players on both sides of the aisle and people working on the frontline, Slavitt presents a story of bad leadership, political and cultural fractures, and an unwillingness to sustain sacrifice that lit a fuse difficult to extinguish. Written in the tradition of "The Big Short," the book puts forth solutions that will prevent us from facing similar crises again.
