This expanded and updated edition of The COVID-19 Catastrophe is the authoritative guide to the global health crisis that has consumed the world. Richard Horton, editor of the medical journal The Lancet, scrutinizes the actions taken by governments around the world as they sought to understand and contain the novel coronavirus and shows that their failure to respond quickly, and their often cavalier disregard of the emerging scientific evidence, had disastrous consequences.
