How Contagion Works: Science, Awareness and Community in Times of Global Crises - The short essay that helped change the Covid-19 debate

It's interesting to see so many reviews of this book prior to it being released and almost 5 stars. It makes you wonder if they are legitimate!My review is a genuine customer review, I had to wait for the published date before it was sent to me.This is not so much a book but more a diary of thoughts the author wrote during lock down. Approx. 68 pages that is ideal to read in the sunshine whilst locked in at home (other locations are available). It's a book of the ' current ' times of lock down.This is worthy of a purchase. Compare with the cost of a newspaper!For me this was entertaining, to while away time during lockdown, but at the same time informative. It makes you realise that this World of different nationalities is in fact wholely dependant on the group of inhabitants acting together.In simple terms, no mathematics, it gives the authors view of how viruses colonise different lands by our transport systems, as an example.As the author quotes "in times of contagion, our efficiency is also our downfall".A good read but don't expect too much in depth analysis of mathematical, or other. theories.

Says in a few pages how we have all contributed to this current situation and how we can expect more to come if we do not take this opportunity to reassess our relationship with the Earth, our only home, and with each other. Beautifully clear and thought provoking. Great writer.

Just a few very well written and beautifully articulated words on how to cope with the world pandemic.

Useful book

Really interesting read, a mix of scientific and personal observations.
