Covid-19: The Book
A story of our times — of leadership, and outcomes
Introduction
Possibly the first book of likely many hundreds that will be written on this topic, this virtual ‘book’ — prompted by an earlier article — is a collection of substantive chapters and haiku on key issues often misunderstood or mischaracterized.
Substantive chapters address solutions from a broader perspective than the usual medical angle.
As Dr Anthony Fauci noted, public health advisers are not economists. They recommend lockdowns as one way to get the virus under control.
As a political scientist specializing in policy effectiveness and outcomes, I suggest in this book another pathway to meet public health and economic objectives, without compromising either, for better outcomes.
It doesn’t need to be a trade-off. Nor do solutions need to be restricted by only one science, when ‘science’ more broadly can deliver better outcomes.
How to use this book
Some ‘chapters’ consist of a single Haiku. Some combine Haiku with brief discussion. Others are traditional chapters, typically commencing with a topical haiku.
Each chapter can be read alone, and in any order.
