Whenever Michael Lewis has a new book out, I buy it immediately. His last book turned out to be an unintended prequel to his latest book. The Fifth Risk explained, in unsettling detail, how Donald Trump undermined, and even dismantled, the federal government’s various science-related agencies. The Premonition covers the risk made real, the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. The CDC completely failed to do its job, and the blame is entirely on Trump.
It’s interesting that Lewis refers to the real people he features as being “characters.”
