Roads to COVID-19 Containment and Spread: Second Edition

By Dr. Leon S Robertson

Why did the U.S. and Great Britain have COVID-19 deaths per population three times the average of all countries? Why was the highest death rate in a U.S. state 10 times higher than the lowest state? You will not find the answer in the retrospectives on the pandemic from official sources or self-appointed experts. They ignored the studies that explain the differences. Understanding how and why the virus spread is crucial for effective planning to prevent the devastation experienced during the coronavirus pandemic from happening again. This second edition reviews the relevant research in terms understandable to nonscientists. It includes a new chapter on the risk of disability and other diseases increased by infection.

Comment on the first edition: Dr. Robertson "describes the virus, and an analysis of the factors that contributed to effective and ineffective responses to its potential for spread, as well as the impact of conspiracy theories and politics. He leaves the reader with an understanding of what we can and should learn from the response to the COVID-19 pandemic".
