I believe Uncontrolled Spread will be the most important， comprehensive book on the US response to the Covid19 pandemic。 Dr。 Gottlieb objectively examined how Covid devastated America so badly。 It's a lot more complicated than just because of politics or a lack of leadership。 He dissected the systemic shortcomings and offered detailed strategic plans to better prepare the country for future threats。The book is also especially unique because Dr。 Gottlieb told the riveting stories from the perspec I believe Uncontrolled Spread will be the most important， comprehensive book on the US response to the Covid19 pandemic。 Dr。 Gottlieb objectively examined how Covid devastated America so badly。 It's a lot more complicated than just because of politics or a lack of leadership。 He dissected the systemic shortcomings and offered detailed strategic plans to better prepare the country for future threats。The book is also especially unique because Dr。 Gottlieb told the riveting stories from the perspective of a true insider。 Some anecdotes about Trump are quite fascinating。Highly recommend。 The book is long but definitely worth your time。 。。。more
