★☆☆☆☆
Pandemic perspective from CNN
This is not this authors typical book. The story line is similar to the Book of Two ways but takes place during the Covid era. Unfortunately it hasn't aged well even though it just came out. A lot of talk about the fear but no mention about how it was largely media driven. A lot of talk about masks with the main characters boyfriend (a surgeon) pretty much insisting at one point had people been wearing masks this would have prevented people from catching the virus. Actual clinical studies disprove that. Story takes place in NY where the main character's mother dies in a nursing home . No mention of the Governor's actions in that state and it's impact on nursing homes. No mention of the reports out of NY where doctors were automatically admitting people and placing them on vents without trying other therapeutic measures. No mention of the ban on lifesaving medications. No mention of thousands of Doctors that disagreed with the CDC and NIH on treatments. No mention of the flawed PCR tests. I can understand artistic license but the author seemed to use CNN as her perspective on the whole thing including the attacks on Trump. Re-read the Book of Two ways, it was much better.
