Join LWVSP Morning Book Club to discuss The Big One: How We Must Prepare for Future Deadly Pandemics by Michael Osterholm. We will meet at Highland Park Library (1974 Ford Parkway) on Wednesday, December 10 at 10 am. You are welcome to join even if you haven't read the book.
" In The Big One, founding director of the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy Michael T. Osterholm and Mark Olshaker examine past pandemics, highlighting the ways societies both succeeded and failed to address them; trace the Covid-19 pandemic and evaluate how it was handled; and look to the future, projecting what the next pandemics might look like and what must be done to mitigate them. Drawing on years of high-level research as well as cutting-edge analysis and an innovative hypothetical scenario threaded throughout each chapter, The Big One is a gripping, comprehensive, and urgent wake-up call. Because Covid-19 was just a taste of what’s to come. If we’re going to survive the next big pandemic, we need to be prepared."
