The Premonition

A Pandemic Story

Book • 2021

The Premonition by Michael Lewis is a gripping account of the individuals who foresaw the impending COVID-19 pandemic and the failures in the American public health system.

The book focuses on characters such as Charity Dean, a public health officer, and the 'Gang of Seven,' a group of doctors and scientists who created their own pandemic plan.

It highlights their tireless work, the use of computer models to predict viral spread, and the challenges they faced amidst political pressure, financial constraints, and public criticism.

The narrative underscores the courage and dedication of these unsung heroes and the need for more proactive approaches to public health preparedness.
