Book Review: The Plague Year










The Plague Year is one of the better books about the pandemic.  I was impressed with his writing and how the book was set up in specific chapters. I have read several books concerning the pandemic. Out of all the books I have read about the pandemic. This is one to read. As the title implies the book is about the full year of the pandemic around the world, and the politics, and culture, society, and science.

This is the book if you don't want to hear much about the politics, and the blame game. The book is for you. Mr. Wright talks about where, when, how, why it started, and what happened. Also talks about the science why the US failed. He doesn't blame all on Mr. Trump.

For example, there were many failures across government that failed us. for example the competition with China and our medical supply companies in the US(3M). Why we were unable to get supplies when our factories were here in the US. What the secrecy from China. China was hiding behind the scenes data in the lab in Wuhan( suspicious data) was destroyed. Besides all that you come to the conclusion. When another one comes are we prepared this time. Because believe me another one is coming.

Mr. Wright went into the protests, police, George Floyd. How the virus affected the cultural events. What I found interested during the riots, Mr. Wright wrote about how the protests affected the virus. He stated that wearing masks, and social distancing. Didn't increase the numbers. I find that hard to believe. How can you social distance? But who knows, the news media makes things more dramatic.

Of all the books to read about the pandemic. This one is the one to read. If you want detail and explanation of the reasoning behind the agencies what happened why we failed this is the book to read. The other books are more political and more subjective. The only thing, I didn't want to re-live the whole year again. But knowledge is bliss. The Plague Year is my own copy.
