Description
The Year the World Went Mad: A Scientific Memoir by Mark Woolhouse In January 2020, Professor Mark Woolhouse received news of a new virus spreading in China. He immediately foresaw a challenging future for the world and warned the Chief Medical Officer of Scotland about the need for urgent preparations. However, his concerns were met with a dismissive response. This book is an insider's account of the events leading up to the COVID-19 pandemic, drawing on Professor Woolhouse's experience serving on advisory groups to both Scottish and UK governments. He shares his story, revealing the advice that was ignored, the frustrations of dealing with politicians, and the missteps that had devastating consequences. Professor Woolhouse sets out a new perspective on the pandemic, explaining the folly of lockdowns and proposing alternatives. He also warns that when the next pandemic comes, we must learn from history to avoid making global crises even worse.
