After months of confusion and downplaying by officials, the COVID-19 death rate climbed high enough that it could no longer be, ignored. Even after lockdowns were, initiated, government officials continually issued confusing statements about facemasks, testing, and vaccinations timelines, leaving the country increasingly panicked and vulnerable. In COVID-19: The Virus That Changed America and The World, renowned author, attorney, and healthcare infrastructure expert, Kenneth Foard McCallion, offers a fascinating and sweeping view of the COVID-19 pandemic, starting with an exploration of ancient plagues and tackling important and timely, subjects such as racial disparities in the virus's impact, what COVID has, revealed about the U.S. healthcare system, and how the pandemic has increased the wealth divide.
