Summary:

With compassion, authority, and empathy, The Contagion Next Time offers a roadmap for those who witnessed the terrible convergence of two pivotal forces in 2020--the COVID-19 pandemic and the fight for racial justice in America--and wondered how we could ensure we never end up here again. Leading voice for health Sandro Galea shows us how we can strengthen the foundational forces that shape our nation before the next crisis becomes an all-consuming conflagration.
