The first and foremost highlight of this book is its authors! When we know what we are reading is coming from the best brains in the field (a team of an epidemiologist, a virologist, and a pulmonologist), we know it’s worth our time.
During the past year, we all have been swarmed with COVID-19 information and since the pandemic is ongoing, everybody has knowledge, insights, and opinions about it. The consumption of such a huge amount of information without knowing what to believe, boggles the mind of laymen and sometimes of the professionals too. This book manages to succinctly and clearly deliver every piece of information that we need to help ourselves and our communities to live through the ongoing pandemic. It contains vital information that people miss, amidst the noise that has been in the media lately and debunks several wrongly held beliefs that are still persisting even after months into the pandemic. Knowing that information and suggestions are coming from a team of experts instills confidence and provides relief and clarity.
If you are a public health person, this book is for you. It will show you how you can explain scientific jargon that sounds gibberish to laymen in the most effective way. This will make your concepts clear and help you in understanding how the health eco-system works. In the final chapters, a strong case is made for health system strengthening that goes onto providing health planning suggestions that can be implemented at local level as well as at central level.
The authors end the book on a positive note – showing hope for the future and making a case for all of us to “redefine normal living” and choose to live healthier lives. I’m sure in near future we will refer back to this book as a reference, to understand what happened during the pandemic in India!

The book released around November 2020 terms rich countries reserving vaccine stocks for their citizens as 'vaccine nationalism'. A little of this nationalism could have gone a long way in preventing deaths during the second wave instead of doing 'Vaccine Maitri' and trying to build the image of 'Vishwaguru'. The unfortunate part is that the authors are top health experts in India who may have influenced the government's policy on vaccines.
