Skip's Reviews > The Premonition: A Pandemic Story

Michael Lewis has written a narrative of the COVID-19 pandemic, starting with an excoriation of President Trump's disastrous handling by downplaying the severity of the disease and muzzling anyone who broke ranks with his agenda. Lewis highlights the actions of a County public health official in California (Dr. Charity Deans), a hodge podge group of like-minded folks in Washington and a professor in California (who developed a reliable COVID test), who refused to be misled by the terrible advice and inaction by the Center for Disease Control (CDC) in Atlanta. Strangely, Dr. Fauci is barely mentioned in the novel, and it got very repetitive towards the end.

My favorite quote: If some other dumb fuck can do it, so can you.
