Kari’s Reviews > The Big One: How We Must Prepare for Future Deadly Pandemics > Status Update

Had to take a break for a couple of days because honestly it was depressing me. So far it seems like an honest portrayal of what could happen if the next big pandemic hit, and the nuances and cooperation it would take to try to deal with it in a more successful way than not. In reality we, as in both this country and others, are already falling short of that.

It is frightening how much has already changed in the nine months since the book’s release some of which has put a wrench in the scenario that is about to be portrayed. This administrations policies have already changed the landscape but having a baseline understanding of possibilities will be of value.
