By early April 2020, half the worlds population3.9 billion peoplewere living under quarantine. People were told not to leave their homes; businesses were shuttered, employees laid off, and schools closed for months or even years. The most devastating pandemic in a century and the policies adopted in response to it upended life as we knew it. In this eye-opening book, Stephen Macedo and Frances Lee examine our pandemic response and pose some provocative questions: Why did we ignore pre-Covid plans for managing a pandemic? Were the voices of reasonable dissent treated fairly? Did we adequately consider the costs and benefits of different policy options? And, aside from vaccines, did the policies adopted work as intended?With In Covids Wake, Macedo and Lee offer the first comprehensiveand candidpolitical assessment of how our institutions fared during the pandemic. They describe how, influenced by Wuhans lockdown, governments departed from their existing pandemic plans. Hard choices were obscured by slogans like follow the science. Benefits and harms were distributed unfairly. The policies adopted largely benefited the laptop class and left so-called essential workers unprotected; extended school closures hit the least-privileged families the hardest. Science became politicized and dissent was driven to the margins. In the next crisis, Macedo and Lee warn, we must not forget the deepest values of liberal democracy: tolerance and open-mindedness, respect for evidence and its limits, a willingness to entertain uncertainty, and a commitment to telling the whole truth....6865697In Covids Wake442614https://www.gandhi.com.mx/in-covids-wake-9780691267159/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/6767343/image.jpg?v=638785684850670000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20259780691267159_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9780691267159_What our failures during the pandemic cost us, and why we must do betterThe Covid pandemic quickly led to the greatest mobilization of emergency powers in human history.
