COVID Wars will open your eyes! If you lived through the worldwide pandemic but haven't thought about it for a while or if you are too young to have followed it, this book is for you. Very well-organized - and I love introductions which give a one or two sentence summary of each chapter as author Ronald Grumer has done. I also like the fairly large print (hard cover) that allows me to read it in bed, in less than perfect light.
Beginning with a brief history of illnesses and viruses followed by chapters on COVID vaccines, deaths, and lockdowns (among others) and illustrated with charts, maps, photos, tables and images, COVID Wars will beat a theme into your mind, relentlessly, that you will not soon forget: red states had more cases than blue states and red states value individual freedom over the public health of the masses.
It is a rather long book and I would like to suggest a Reader's Digest version for those who are less scientifically inclined or who are pressed for time or who might otherwise not finish the book. Perhaps fewer graphs along with simpler ones but the photographs were well done and the cover is absolutely magnetic: a flag superimposed on a map of the US, torn in half.
Remember Operation Warp Speed? What do you know about mRNA vaccines? Find out more here.
I also would have liked being brought more up to date: for example, how life has changed as a result of COVID, such as working from home and the effects of school closures on student personalities and achievement.
Well worth the read!
