Greetings!
In our must-read on paper Financial Times weekend edition from the Saturday before last we found a review of three books reporting on the first seven months of the pandemic. Experienced science reporters from the Lancet and The New Scientist offer a look into the virus’s outbreak in Wuhan through the worldwide effort to stop the progress of the pandemic. Both books cover politics, policy, and science. A third book offers a focused look at the science. Only one is available in audible form, Deborah Mackenzie's "Covid-19: The Pandemic that Never Should Have Happened." Upon reading this FT review, the curators immediately ordered these books in paper, Kindle, and audible forms.
The past week we have also been listening to key magazine articles on Audm, the app that reads us those New Yorker, London Review of Books, New York Times Magazine, Vanity Fair, and about 30 other publications stacked-up on our digital devices, coffee tables, and nightstands. On paper, linked below, and listened to on Audm, London Review of Books offers us a close look at the November through March failures in Wuhan and the Chinese Government's early cover-ups through the aggressive efforts at containing the pandemic's start. Another must read or listen via the aforementioned Audm is the New Yorker’s look at the history of and recent success by the Army Corps of Engineers. We add via link to your must read list The New Scientist’s weekly Covid-19 report. This is the Revitalize list for July 29, 2020.
