If you have kids who want to work for health care make them read The Premonition.
If you are interested in how the world ended where it is today on account of Covid-19, read The Premonition.
Premonition does to CDC what Lewis earlier works did to SEC, Banking and Moody S&P.

The book is not just about Covid or US response to the pandemic.
It's a very worthy and relevant read at so many different levels.
How a small group of individuals can still impact global health, how we got to the vaccine so quickly and the future of the health care industry.

@dingramerm we need to bring the Mann Gulch incident and the fire escape fire into the @SOActuaries ERM curriculum.
Maybe even get Lewis to come and speak at the next annual conference.

Personally I took some key lessons from the book.
A group of focused individuals can not just change the destiny of their country but also of the world.
Making it possible for @moderna_tx to fast track Phase II and III trials was the best ROI on a billion dollars.

The ICU physician checklist and the regret minimization framework in the ICU world.
What do I need to do now, that if I don't, I would regret the most looking back from the future.
And having things to do, a checklist to avoid panic and maintain a semblance of control.

The relationship between R_naught and herd immunity.
Michael Lewis explained herd immunity in a few words something that I had difficulty understanding over the last 18 months.
How the first Covid death meant that a region already had 200 infected cases walking around.

The Mann Gulch fire, exponential escalation and the escape fire.
At 5:45 the fire was moving at 1.2 miles/hr.
At 5:55 it was at 7 miles/hr across the grassland.
At 5:56 10 of 15 were dead.
The only survivor lit a escape fire to escape the wall of fire coming at him.

Group think will kill you.
@Sheena_Iyengar first showed this to us in the Organization Behavior course at @Columbia_Biz with the O-Ring case study and the Challenger disaster.
Mann Gulch just reinforced it.
My favorite line in the entire book.
We are at 5:45pm right now.

Also no good deed in the world will go unpunished.
Specially if you work for the state.

Covid-19 has swept the world in a wave of tragedy, grief and loss. Didn't spare friends, family or loved ones.
While the book won't gave us closure, it will certainly go a long way for a lot of people in helping them make sense of this new world we will live in.

Michael Lewis, I wish you were on @Twitter.
Thank you once again for a lovely, readable guide to a complex tragedy.
Always appreciated.
